Chills's Armagetron Top Ten List

Post by chills »

You know you play too much Armagetron if...

10. you just bought an awesome new computer with the fastest video card available just to make your Armagetron run better.

9. you've played under more nicknames than there are people in the ____ clan.

8. you consider anyone with less than 150 match wins on Armagoshdarn a n00b.

7. you correct people when they talk about N64s (instead of N54).

6. while you're watching the movie Tron, you complain about the light cycle scene being done "all wrong".

5. you find yourself grinding your car against the curb in a vain attempt to gain speed.

4. somebody asks you what your favorite FPS is, and you say "I don't know, but the higher the better!"

3. you get into a car accident because "it's lame to use brakes" (i.e. on Armagoshdarn).

2. you're having a lousy day at work/school, and you start blaming everything on lag.

and finally...

1. you start to wonder if becoming a communist will make you a better player.

It's silly, I know :D

good one!

This one reminded me of how serious players (including myself) take armagoshdarn culture!

This entire list ROCKED!

What makes it even more funny is knowing that I'm not the only one that is guilty of at least one or two of these things!

Note: in this instance "funny" is synonymous with "pathetic".

11. Theres no food in the house but as long as the cheetos hold out, you're good.

12. Your family doesn't recognize you anymore.

13. You make endless webpages and graphics and spend way too much time on forums making up silly lists

14. You can beat node easily :D

great list chills, I "tron out" in real traffic on a regular basis...when I pass by the offending dork, I think to myself, "noob" or "lamer"

Really great stuff, but I have to quarrel over this one:

I have less than 150 match wins, I have less than 15 I think. So, am I a "n00b" by your standards then? :'(

absolutely not imo, perhaps that one should be changed to armagoshdarnian style server matches? :D

that makes me fell so much better, I am a very good player. You are all now noobs on the forums if you have less than 500 posts and less than 300 on LQ.

You're not a n00b by my standards. No way! You're one of the game's true veterans and statesmen. But for some people who are really far gone, at the furthest extremes of Armagetron/goshdarn addiction and/or arrogance, they probably scoff at anything less than several hundred wins on their home server. I'm not saying that they should, just that they do :wink:

Ultimately, there are no hard and fixed rules saying who is and who is not a n00b. I've seen people in the top 15 match winners list on Armagoshdarn get called n00bs by people I've never seen before. Nobody is immune from the dreaded n-word, it seems. :|

hey its not fair if you count posts, i have very few posts here but at ice's forum i have over 500 in only a month :D
i do have match wins though, im like 29th or something which ain't bad

oh by the way the list rocks, but you should add one about not going to the bathroom or eating due to the fact that you can't really do either while playing tron :lol:
