You know you're old when...

Slycaster

You remember the nuke.
You know what a Bob is.
Nano-Gridlock was the place to be.
EC vs EGC.
When you played as much Science and Industry with the crew as you did NS.

The list goes on. Heavy nostalgia for me. Been a good 4-5 years since i've set foot on this ground. Add to the list. The waves of nostalgia and good times I'm getting just keep on coming.

Oh and; Hey everyone. Been awhile. Good to be home.

You have one of those anime avatar things.

FYI most of those things you list are very confusing because you don't say if you were part of them or remember them or what and are instead some sort of weird sentence fragment.

Lumberjack_Wannabe

You remember the Really Big Knife.

ZiGGY

when you're sick of you know you're old threads xD

Insane

I was thinking about Nano-Gridlock the other day. Best server ever.

Hello, Cyanide!

JediYoshi

You remember Monse.
You used the NSTR.
You saw the tribal face marine.
You have this image floating around your computer for some reason.
And completely unrelated; you saw Militia 1 & 2.

Scythe

Bob4eva, imo.

BadMouth

There was no Steam. there was only WON.

Zaggy

..you remember the time you didn't have to spit AND bite two times and consequently suck hard at playing skulks now

its a sad state of affairs when people are allowed to discuss and advertise ns servers openly on the ns forums

When this makes sense.

(ah ha! cross posting )

JediYoshi

TychoCelchuuu

Flaytona! Orange forums! Blinky!

ZiGGY

MARINE_DUDE

my grand kids will really appreaciate NS2



those little young MARINE wipper snappers, they have no idea, what some of us vetrans, fought for ! , or why they have their FREEEEEEDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.



YeeeaaaaaaaahhhHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!

Shockwave

Bob still fits better.

I'm going with:
You remember Nano Gridlock (and did anyone remember Nano-Lockdown, the sister EU server I had on my boxes? Or Warservers, eh ZiGGY?) games of sealing ourselves into the vent above the Marine start, building a whole base in there then mining it all to hell. Jesus, it shows when I can't even remember map names any more.

Welcome back, Cyanide.

puzl

You know your old when you have to make posts informing people how oldskool you are.

Scythe

You know when to SUYF.

radforChrist

Hi Cyanide. Aren't you th original artist of the chibi NS characters?

Has been a while. Welcome back!

Thansal

/me hands scythe a cookie. Well played.


and the person who made the chibi avatars was coil.

Bloo

This thead kind of reminds me of that FFT skit "Youknow you're a NS player if..."

Nossah

... you need an hour to figure out what your old username and password combination was for these forums...
... you subsequently find out your sig was probably too big for the past 5 years...

Thaldarin

You first played NS with 56k modem to find out you lagged less than most other players..

Kouji_San

noname, revolving door, the gravity room, doors, not to mention the dual siege spot and crouching box of deflection, while all your Oni spawned underground and were unstopable vs bullets and building stacking led to epic fortresses of dewm, while littering the map with cannonfodder babblers as a gorge. To add to this (yeh really) things that hover without flapping while teh lork on teh clorf is taking out your RT and aliens are using your phasegates, all the while the space orks are trying to get in and fades are trying to get out (from walls), which resulted in /stuck FTW!

And when the marines said "ZOMG THEY HAVE GUNS"

A little more esoteric, but...

You know you're oldschool NS when you know how this World of Warcraft item came to be... Now that's got to narrow it to half a dozen forum goers these days.

I have that item. In my bank. And will forever.

I had NO idea that item existed! So there's an NS fan on the dev team, eh? Nexus... heh.

I still don't and never will understand what +penetration can do in WoW.

puzl

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/bc-credits.html

See any names you recognise there?

+penetration is subtracted from the other player's resistance.

Thaldarin

There's more than one? I only see Tyr.

Ruri

Hah one of my friends just asked me "You gonna play NS 2? It's getting closer to being done". Totally forgot about this game.

I'm here for some US representation.

Long live patch 1.04. The greatest days of NS.
