<div class="IPBDescription">(fill in the blank)</div>So I get a PM from one of the original members of Dominant Species who was 13 when he joined and one helluva player. He just PM'd me saying he's old enough to vote now.... ... .. .

Natural Selection's fifth birthday is right around the corner and there's a lot of us who have been here from the get-go.

Tell us how YOU know you've been playing NS to long. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    You know you have been Playing Natural Selection for too long when you waddle around the courner and Vomit! up a deck chair and a mini bar to camp your favorite empty coridor.

    You've been playing NS to long, when you, at the table eating with you family, suddenly yell:
    <b>"ONOS SPOTTED, DROP SOME GOD DAMM JETPACKERS COMMANDER!"</b>, to your father, because you mother ask you to clean up after eating.

    Well at least the doctor told me so. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />.

    When you take a quick break from a game to get a snack and you push your body against the wall to get to the fridge faster.

    When you hear a noise outside your room and you look at the wall expecting motion-tracking sprites.



    also, you bring up an interesting point Depot; a lot of us grew up with this game, starting in 2002 when many of us were highschoolers, in the heat of the CS-DOD-HL-mod frenzy. Now many of us are adults living completely differently, with NS being one of the most stable constants in our lives.

    I especially like the guy who got a marine logo tattooed on the back of his upper arm (it's somewhere in the forums). It says something about this game and this community and how much it means to people.

    when you've literally spent about $2k on stats classes over a year or two, in which you did nothing but draw and plan NS maps and rooms.

    Thats literally happened (my uni has long, straight tunnels connecting the buildings, with smooth walls), and even thinking about it now, it probably would have sped me up.



    Another: Constantly looking at architecture for skulk hiding spots. Again though, this is the mapper in me... and its also how I get the inspiration for many of my rooms. Engineering in Nexus is a perfect example (the two-level middle-of-the-room open-air vent concept).

    When you call your buddie a res ###### at the top of your lungs in macc's cos he wont even super size his own coke.

    when you run around welding light switches in a attempt to make them stay on.

    when suddenly you think i need some deritos, and a blue flash of nannites spawns a packet right next to you and you have no idea how they got there.

    when you dream of hovaring scorpians attacking without wings, only to wake up and find you have been sqwirming in your own bile bomb.

    hum i shouldnt of used my last one as a semi dirty one, wanted to get away with this one.

    when you think you see a kharaa heal me symbol above your misses head, so you spray her face with a high protine substance that can regerate her skin.

    Haha, it's funny because it's true.

    Also, if you look up as you walk through doors for something above you.

    If you've ever actually bit someone while playing skulk. (I did this when someone grabbed my arm. I stopped playing for a couple days)

    Wow, haha damn!

    You know you've been playing NS too long when you look around for shortest routes and most stealthy ways to move from class to class.

    You know you've been playing too much ns when you slow down considerably when attempting to chain multiple jumps without the aid of higher ground.
