How goes it, fellow PenIsites? I'm about to go into college (long live party schools!) and was wondering if any and all of you would care to give me a few words of wisdom concerning it.-Bad Mr. Spinch "I'm pink, therefore, I'm Spam." IP: Logged |

don't play counter-strike so much that you never do any classwork and eventually flunk out of school. I know a kid who did that.IP: Logged |

There's some truth in that. If you're not careful, you can *really* lose yourself in Counterstrike. I was able to strike a balance, but *damn* if I didn't play a lot of it. Fast connection coupled with some free time between homework periods is a dangerous combination. Through procrastination into the mix and lookout.

Actually, there's still truth in this no matter what game you insert into that statement. When I was playing UO, one of the newbie members of my guild had like a 3.9 or 4.0 average when he started playing... Just 4 short weeks later he was worried about the possibility of dropping a class or two becoming a necessity. Step 1. Grow up on 28.8 or 56k. Step 2. Take computer to college. Step 3. Connect NIC to hole in the wall. Step 4. Become computer's bitch. Heh. -3 IP: Logged |

::shudders::I recall the Counter-Strike, Biggles. I still have nightmares about it. Sometimes I wake up late in the night in a deep sweat, thinking I just heard you scream "AWW FUCKZOR" from next door. I can't wait to get back to campus.

You know, this reminds me of a flashback when I was in Toronto, my friend, who used to live in a dorm, before he went insane did endless binges of counterstrike and irc. I prefer to hold myself to the latter, I remember a call one night which i got at about 2:30am, on a monday night. Friend: I AM THE L337 KREW!@#)$* Me: Huh? What? What the fuck is the time over there? Friend: GET ONTO CS AND HELP ME CRUSH THESE LAMERS ON DE_DUST!@)$* Me: Are you nuts? Its 5:30 in the morning, go back to sleep you crackjob. Friend: NO, MUST KEEP COUNTERSTRIKING (Sound of cans opening in background) Me: Gah (hangs up in exasperation) The point of this is that CS and dorm life is highly bad, just say no. (I know this analogy sucks, but I'm sick as a dog and therefore am bored. And I don't wanna click on zippys link.) IP: Logged |

starcraft also goes over well in dorms. shooters attract only a certain crowd, but rts is suitable even for the churchy rooms in the hall. more players = more tards to crush and dorms = you can hear their shreiks.plus, knowing where your opponant lives discourages cheap ass rushes. IP: Logged |

why the hell would someone not want to click on my links? they're totally safe and innocent.btw, i had to strip all my clothes off and use a mirror to figure out what the bottom most photo along the right is edit: for bad mr. spinach, i say this: it pays to be the guy in your dorm who can join into any conversation about a disgusting topic with the line "i have a video of that!"

heh... you know how war vets who got limbs amputated sometimes have phantom itches? their brain tells them that their arm itches, but when they go to scratch it, they realize they dont have an arm.i wonder if it works the same way for the cutter's patients edit: for the record, the bottom most image on the right hand side is a photo of a scrotum that has been cut open with the testes dangling outside, but still attached to the body [This message has been edited by zippy (edited 08-05-2001).] IP: Logged |

Don't stay away from your computer; CS is one of the great parts of college. Just limit yourself to... five hours a day.Okay, seven. Seven hours a day. But no more. IP: Logged |

I'm with Laural on that one - wtf is wrong with you people? You can get a cablemodem (and beer, for that matter) at home, but there's just no substitute for ready access to female dorms!  IP: Logged |

The game that did me in last year was Rogue Spear. Having it networked with 3 of my other roommates was just bad. I've moved on though. I know play Urban Ops online (this is worse because new mods make it different all the time, and someone is always online playing) and play Max Payne when I want to play "alone".IP: Logged |

Dude.How the FUCK does everyone have Max Payne all of a sudden? And then why does everyone who has it refuse to share it with me? I think, perhaps, the answer to both lies somewhere entangled with my IRC n00bness. ------------------ Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? IP: Logged |
