death excuses
mailbag: death excuses
Well well well. Since I suck at Counter-Strike, rizzuh felt that I would do the best job at handling the mailbag about excuses for why people suck at Counter-Strike. Without further ado, let's prove him wrong!

One time I said that fifty people instant messaged me on AIM one after another. Boy did that go over well.
When everyone knows you have no friends, it's not hard for them to figure out that you're not getting AIM messages. But good try.

I just say i was trying to take a sip outta my coke
One would think that you'd be able to hold off on your thirst while you're still alive. After all, you know in your heart you'll be dead soon. But I admit, the temptation to get just one more sip of your frosty beverage is a hard call to resist.

I dont use excuses, I just scream like an asshole at my screen.
Ah, the most popular response. I like to not only scream, but also throw up my arms and look at the ceiling, as if it was the reason for my failure. (I'm not convinced it isn't.)

my burrito shot flaming bean goo all over my lap right when you came around the corner...
Eating while playing computer games is dangerous, fatty. You could end up seriously hurting yourself...or at least developing some interesting stains.

I would say something like omg, i didnt know that i got switced. I thought i was still on Ts' side.
What's interesting is I find this actually happening to me more often then I use it as an excuse. But maybe I should place it higher up in my repertoire. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't use lag because my computer owns and I can't use smoke grenades because my computer owns and I can't use phone calls because nobody calls me.
...because you spend all your time making sure your computer owns. Although if you keep it up, you might have some credit companies calling you. So upgrading can actually lead to more excuses! Everyone take note. Oh, and by the way...

Hmm, I don't know, but me and my friends made a dictionary for excuses.
"omg lag" = im downloading porn
"nubbed/randomed" = I want to tell everyone that I've been playing for a long time, am a veteran, and only died because my wooden leg broke.
"wtf" = My mom asked me to help her move some groceries, and when I turned to look back at the screen, I was dead.
"h4x" = He killed me. He must obviously hack, since I'm the best. Shooting through boxes? Unheard of!
"bs u suck" = I suck.
"I spend too much time making lists" = I spend...well, you get the idea.
