<div class="IPBDescription">Well, are you?</div> Is anyone here the only one who plays NS

When i mean that, i mean it as in the only one in your house and in your highschool and in college or whatever

cuz i am. I tried my hardest to get friends to play NS. I tried it at home with my little sister. I tried it at school with all my best buds. lol

so i was just curious, just wondering if anyone was in the same situation as me

they just won't understand this aliens vs marines concept

stupid people

    No, not really. I have two friends who play (albeit badly) Marines all day, every day. As a result, they bombed their finals. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ah. My kind of people.

    Sono, a semi-regular contributor in these forums, was lured into NS by me, so was Polygon, whom all you slackers in #evo might know.

    2 of my friends play DoD all the time, but after I taught them about NS they're addicted. Another friend of mine played CS all the time, now he's obsessed with NS. A couple other friends of mine want to play it, but they either dont have HL or don't have a computer better than 200 Mhz

    My DoD-addicted roommate told me about NS. He still plays DoD.

    I got about 5 or 6 people in my building to play it regularly now!

    I've burned off numerous copies for friends because they seem interested in playing. When we get to a LAN party, all they want to play is Warcraft 3 and UT!! ARGH!! <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We <i>almost</i> got a game of NS going, but one person said "hey, I just got a new Warcraft 3 map, I'm playing that instead!!".

    One person was too drunk to care which game we played, another one just follows whatever the drunk guy does, and the last one does whatever his gf wants (she likes watching the night elves). <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sigh.. I even had a nice game of NS started up too.

    I'm in a group of people who play but I don't.
    Why?
    Because I don't have Half-Life yet and even if I did my mum is stupidly paranoid about playing online.
    Oh I'll be so glad when I'm old enough to go to university..............

    I have successfully addicted 2 of my friends to counter-crack, who in turn got another one of their friends addicted to NS.. I'm slowly weaning them off of CS and pointing them to NS, though I still find CS has more fun involved (it's just too funny not to play!)

    My brother plays NS. I wish he didn't.

    I got plenty of college buddies to start playing, heck I even advertised NS on the local ex-CS clan's message board <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    After all these years I firmly believe that I am the only person in Oklahoma who knows what a computer game even is.

    The Babbage's and EB's around only manage to stay in business thanks to John Madden's Circle Jerk 2003.

    I got my 12 year old sister to play NS, also I have a disk with the most popular mods that I play with all the updates and whatever else and that got circulated around my circle of friends.

    However they complain about having 56k modems, fortunately one of my friends is getting broadband at the end of the month so that should be another person to play with.

    Everyone should tell a friend about NS, it's the least they can do after so many people but so much effort into NS.

    I got my friend to play NS, and he is convincing some of his other friends to get HL + NS. Also my little sister plays sometimes, usualy when i want to play...

    The funny thing is whenever I ask people if they play HL mods besides CS, they say "like GTA3 u mean?" And when i try to explain the idea of Mods to them they kinda look at me confusidly then lose intrest and point at something and then talk about CS. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    "OH! D00d your playin conterstryke!!11"
    .....No, this is Action Half-Life.
    (Confused look)(Walks away silently)

    I am the only one in my house that plays NS. I dont goto school(Im 36 years old) so I cant get my school friends to play. I know of no one else in my circle of friends that has HL. In fact out of everyone I know in RL I am the only one to play games online.

    I had a LAN party a few nights ago - I got about 4 more people to join the ranks. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That makes about 12 hardcore NSers here at my school. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I WAS the only one, then I brought it to a LAN and about 10 more people now play it around here. Oh, and yes, I'm back from the dead for a while. ;-)
