You know you've been on Allegro.cc too long when...
Andrei Ellman
Member #3,434

Folowing on from the You Know When You've Been Hacking Too Long When... thread and the you know you've been playing BF1942 too long when... thread, howabout a "You know you've been on Allegro.cc too long when..." thread.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is this.

  • Whenever you want to say a swear-word, you instinctively say the one that the allegro.cc censorship filter replaces it with.

Anyone care to add some more?

AE.

      • ... and witty remarks you made (...ha ha "spelling" is written with 2 l's... get that!)

      Well, the quotes were just to set an example. ;)

      • You discuss meeting allegro.cc members in real life ;D

      • You've built games involving the avatars of other members on allegro.cc

      Ok, I'll stop picking on 23. ;)

      Hmm... Now, somebody should figure out what percentage of the content of the site on these forums is done by the members. So we can figure out exactly what share of the blame 23 gets :)

      So... SteveT can do the by posts, but we'll need Matthew to do the by bytes :)

      • You begin comprising a list of how to know you've been spending too much time on Allegro.cc

      That's gotta be on every "How to tell when..." list.. ;D

        - When you know who wrote a post just by reading the subject
        - If you managed to make j13 your personal arch-nemesis (esis...sis.is.sss)
        - If you write more code answering peoples questions than to update your own project.

        Ok.
        I'll give an example.
        There was a game I use to play called utopia which was a medieval war game with dragons, races and magic spells.
        They made a list like this. Here's some of those:

        "You look around wondering why everyone is playing human."
        "You once trained your pet iguana to be a dragon"
        "You tried to draw a map of your province. (It's a text game with no geographical sense at all)"
        "You tried to cast spells using scrabble tiles as runes"

        ..etc. :P
        Maybe not a good example because you don't know the context.. but, can't say I didn't try! :)

        the concept is this. Most normal people, or maybe there are just a lot of non-normal people...eitherway, a lot of people will play or do something way too much, like play a game for two days straight. Well, their minds get wrapped cause of this, so even after stopping what they were doing, they still have that frame of mind. So they go out to do something in real life, and end up doing crazy stuff from the game they were playing.

        Example, let's say you were coding ASM for 2 days straight. You're mind would be stuck in "coding ASM" mode. So when you stop and check your clock, you might figure it's in hex(since you play with HEX in ASM a lot). Stupid stuff caused by doing something for too long. Most of it's funny and good for laughs.
