fwd: too much quake 2

earthworm_jim

You've been playing WAY too much Q2 if...

You challange your teacher to a 1 on 1 because she threatened to give you a detension (which would cut out of your quaking time)

You wonder why YOUR back packs don't hover a foot above the ground and spin around

Your keyboard stops responding

You insist on people refering to you as your character's name

You get frustrated because you can't hop in and out of different models and skins in RL

You have the constant urge to be continously moving and jumping around

You have a STRONG fear of flying, thinking you'll somehow crash on an alien planet

You begin walking into doors, expecting them to open in front of you

You can type about 10 times faster than you can speak

You are frustrated because "hotkeys" aren't available in RL as a quick response

You begin to blame everything in RL on LAG

Most of your friends ONLY know you by your character's name

You have to replace the batteries in your cordless mouse and/or keyboard every week

You have Quake2 in the Startup folder, so your computer loads it just as Windows finishes

You tend to look up while in an elevator

Before going down a hall, and entering or exiting a room, you must first jump out, throw or shoot something down or in it, and
jump back for cover

You steer away from stepping on any odd looking tiles, in fear of being tele-fragged

Whenever you get hurt, you run around looking for health packs

You don't even budge when something explodes behind you

You no longer have a 180º sight range, but now only a small flat view of everything, yet you prefer this

Your fingers twitch (as if to hit a key) whenever you move around in RL

You throw on every piece of clothing you find around thinking (Yah, now I can take at least a few more hits before I die)

You never walk in RL, but instead, you run around, gaining speed, dashing from side to side, hopping up and down like a
lunatic

You can tell the difference between every single shade of brown there is, along with naming several examples of where it can
be found in Q2

You can see your reflection on your mouse wrist from it being buffed on your mouse pad

It took you several attempts to finish reading this, as every time u read a little, you have to go back to Q2

ALL of your friends ONLY know you by your character's name

You suffer from withdrawl symptoms if you're away from Q2 for more than 24 hours at a time.

You actually know where the term "Frag" comes from, and how to spell and say it in several different languages

Your appearance in RL is so similar to that of your character, people refuse to even look at you

You have more than 500 MB worth of SKINS alone

You dream about meeting that "special someone" while in a death match, so you can show your "COOL" Q2 skills off

You baught your computer PURELY for Quaking

You've got more Video memory than you've got RAM

You don't HAVE any friends in RL

Your idea of a date is a 1 on 1, RAIL GUNS and BLASTERS only

You got that last one

You have one of every different type of ammo found in Quake, that you have put on a chain and hung around your neck

You didn't see any problem with any of these.

tecno

i keep looking at the ground to do a rocketjump to the top of my stairs damn enoying it is i tell yea

WhiteWashMan

hah!

everytime i hear a ping i know one of my house mates has just double-jumped up the washing machine onto the top of the fridge and snagged the megahealth.
this gives me time to hop down from the balcony where the gl is, into the red armour room and loose a few rockets at the freezer area then switching to hyperblater to finish off.
where-upon my housemate asks me to pop the kettle on and asks why i still persist in wearing my starwars pajamas at the age of 25.
by the way, does anyone else know where the power armour up in the attic is?
white(real life sucks)wash

It's behind a false wall, hit the switch under the stairs and it opens. Closes after about 15 seconds though, so you'll have to run! <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

I hang out on top of multi-storey car parks with my papier mache railgun, I see crosshairs when I look at people and I back off everytime a door opens.
**** I need help!

The Day EWJ stops playing quake is the day the power supply blows on my machine. Mind U we have tried to blind him with it as well. No luck though :-)
