Man, this game's like crack. I've had to force myself not to play it and do some work... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Seriously, I've been getting twitchy even thinking about it.
I am buggernaut, BTW, if anyone was wondering who it was they were digesting.

    Welcome to the NS Forums...

    Have fun, post, and get to know the regulars.

    Many of us have gotten sucked into the black-hole of NS and I don't think any of us want to come out <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, nothing can escape NS. I never knew what I was doing, when I installed NS 1.04 on my computer. NS is the only game that I have never uninstalled willingly (once I had to do it just to get it work).

    The addiction came..
    then it died horribly because you get tired of all of the cheap **** in this game..or your favorite servers are empty
    Then you come back after 2-3 months and start playing it again hehe

    hooray! thread ressurection....
    Yeah, just a quick adjunct.. some people who play this game need to CALM DOWN. I just had this happen to me:

    I was lerking in a vent, trying to destroy a TF next to one of our hives, when some goon starts yelling "Oh my god! Oh my god! you suck! why aren't you shooting the phase gate! (which i couldn't see cos it was round the corner)
    I stick my head out to see what he's on about, and someone blows it off with a gun.
    Headset boy comes back on calling me a freaking idiot, and i should have turned into a skulk and kissed him or something. I tell him to calm down, and the next thing i know i'm back at the console with a kicked message....

    GRRR.. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> i was enjoying myself as well.
    I'm going to hang around the **** brits server from now on, most people seem to be sensible there. Anyone got any recommendations for servers that are free from irritable, head-set brandishing idiots? <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->
