200 ways to tell you play too much Quake.

Postby Orion » Fri Jan 30, 2009 5:54 pm

Well, there are a lot of topics like this on other fps games forums. But at least I never seen in Quake forums before... I might be wrong.

You can write more than 1 way you play too much Quake per post.
It must reach 200, even if it takes some months.

Let's begin.

1) You put one or more mint candies into a soda bottle between your legs and try to rocket jump.
2) You try to bunnyhop to see if you can run faster. (I tried that but it only works downhill.)
3) You make a map of your house, school, or work place perfectly to scale, so you can play with your friends on a familiar environment. (Yes, I made a map of my house, but it's much larger than the house itself.)
4) Your WASD keys are shiny.
5) You rest your left hand over the WASD keys even if you're not playing Quake. (I do that sometimes.)
6) When you see a flag, you may want to grab it so bad.
7) You go to a cool place and thinks about making a new map.

12) When you see a detailed open space, e.g. walking along in a shopping mall, you're worried it may affect your framerate.

True story.

13) Whenever you go anywhere you haven't been to before you always look up for Scrags.

14) When you close your eyes in a public place and actually try coffee_move()
15) When you expect all doors to be automatic
16) You reference Quake as an analogy piece more often than actual things, so much so that LordHavoc and SantaClaws both tell you "You reference Quake way too much in everyday conversation", kind of like how Frasier uses French way too much in everyday conversation
17) You don't think of a shotgun as a "serious weapon"
18) You're bewildered by buttons smaller than your torso
19) You're very pleased every time you open a locked door, and it doesn't take your keys
20) You wonder what the building manager is hiding underneath the elevator...
...and all around me was the chaos of battle and the reek of running blood.... and for the first time in my life I knew true happiness.

21) You imitate the sounds when you're playing
22) You imitate them even if you're not playing
23) You're so good at the sound imitation, that you could play it without sounds
24) You yell profanities & insults to the monsters as you fight & kill them and think they will hear & get insulted by them
25) When you write the letter Q you write it as it's written in Quake

26) You believe the shopping cart area in grocery stores was a way for the mapper to block off vis.
27) You try to pick up items by stepping on them.
28 ) When at a hardware store you check out all the nailguns and deem them unimpressive.
29) You're surprised a real box of nails is so small, go into denial
30) You wonder why the zombies in zombie movies don't tear pieces of themselves off to throw at the protagonists.
31) You wonder why the protagonists do not counter with grenade launchers.

True story. I need treatment, lol.


32) You aren't afraid to jump from the top of a 30-floor building, because you will only take 5 damage independing of the height.
33) You're on a nightclub, when the smoke comes up, you think "Who the f*ck thrown a gas grenade?"
34) You think an axe won't cut anything in half.

35) you look down and get disappointed because you can see your feet;
36) you wish you could select "always run" in a menu and never get tired;
37) you strafe in real life;
38 ) when you enter in an empty room you expect lights suddenly turning off and an ogre jumps out of a closet wall;
39) you only have green, yellow and red shirts in your closet;
40) and you have 16 similar pants with different colors;
41) you hits walls searching for a secret area;
I know FrikaC made a cgi-bin version of the quakec interpreter once and wrote part of his website in QuakeC :) (LordHavoc)

45) When ever you put on a coat or jacket you make the armor pickup sound (ching ching or what ever is is).
