You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - [AP]Sniperz - 12-07-2013

Hello Xonotic community!

I found this great joke on the AssaultCube forums and decided to start a similar thread here. To play the game, just reply by completing the sentence. For example:

You know you've played too much Xonotic when...

I was waiting in a line I thought was too long and imagined slapping my way through with the shotgun. Big Grin

Have fun!

Hehe that's amusing, I thought we already had that thread but that was actually an old memory from the nexuiz forums: http://www.alienTRAP.org/archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3464

... When you get nervous paronoic and twtchy, you react twice as fast when somebody is behind you, might even hit them, while they had no evil intents. You also lag a lot.

... When you stand up from you chair and try to bunny hop to the fridge.

... When you dont stand up and try to navigate yourself with a keyboard.

Generaly, its the fact you are twitchy, paranoic and you reactions speed up.

I remembered the same thread instantly and was about to link to it as well! Big Grin

Edit: I guess this memorization also fits perfectly to the topic.

You know you've been at this for too long when: Your reaction to getting sprayed or hit by something thrown by one of your coworkers is "same team retard"

I actually figured out how to bunny hop (as in, actual jumps with both feet off the ground, not skipping) on the floor at my last workplace when it had a certain level of slickness to it. Said hops actually allowed faster movement than what could be achieved through sprinting.

...when jump onto your green pull-over en-passant and only then realize you actually have to put it on manually

...when you, as a matter of routine, return to the same spot exactly 30 seconds after your first attempt and wonder why it doesn't respawn

...when you finally realize your green pull-over actually doesn't give you a 100 armor upgrade

RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - tZork - 12-09-2013

... when a laser shot is a slowish projectile whose main purpose is to knock you and other's around.

... you can partake seriously in debates like why rocket jumping makes perfect sense while rocket boosting does not.

... you actually take your time to write and read things like this.


RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - aa - 12-10-2013

... you think about balance and try to come up with a singleplayer story for Xonotic in the shower.
... but rocket flying is a serious disbalance to the essencial basics of level design and planning, like the use of grappling hook and misuse of modified server configs and minsta... and you understand what the frase above means


RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - Smilecythe - 12-11-2013

... When you pick up a chihuahua and pretend it's a rocket launcher.

... when you can win a duel by staying out of sight and only using prediction weapons (curvy rockets, electro combo, mortar secondary)
... when you practice saying "TEST YOUR ART" and "AMAZING" in the deepest voice you can in public
... when, in minsta+hook CTF, you organize everyone on your team to shoot grapples into each other and then lead your Battle Train into victory (I have no clue if this works or not for larger groups but I know it's possible to grapple onto other players)
... when one of your friends says something ridiculous and you think about moving them to Whackity Wicktown
... when you're so used to the lag that other games feel unsettling

RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - Halogene - 12-17-2013

...when you are discussing absolutely non-Xonotic related content overly tired and half-asleep with someone in the middle of the night and automatically object to the phrase "but I'm faster than you" with "not when I'm bunny hopping" - and only realize by the reaction of your discussion partner that you said something utterly silly.

This happened to me three days ago.


RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - aa - 12-17-2013

Oh, i actually thought it was silly because it is silly NOT to bunny hop in Xon.


RE: You know you've played too much Xonotic when... - Halogene - 12-17-2013

Huh Well, the person I was talking to had never ever played a single game of Xonotic nor was aware of the game or the concept of bunny hopping in the first place, so bunny hopping couldn't have crossed such person's mind Wink
