life without cs
mailbag: life without cs
This week's topic: What would your life be like without Counter-Strike?!
from: TuRd-BuRgLaR
My whole family dieing in a tragic bowling alley fire would have seemed so much harsher if I had not completely ignored it by playing cs all day and skipping the realization that they are all dead, and thinking that I will see them again, after I get off the computer just after this round...... I mean this round....... or maby this one.......
Wait, you weren't at the bowling alley?! Blast, another failed assassination attempt. I'll get you once and for all, Turd Burglar!

my life would surely different in that i wouldn't attend LAN parties, wouldn't be going to the CPL this summer, wouldn't pray everyday for faster internet than my wonderful 56k (i find 1.6 is better than 1.5 for my lag btw...), and the decently large percent of my brain that cs takes up would be free for other, likely less involved and entertaining, things...
You should really stop playing Counter-Strike.

uhhmm.. i would play a dif game?.. no i would probly have passing gragds in scool and would have a tan.. hmm yeah..
Gragds?

Okay I've seen some typos, but gragds?

The g key is not even close to the e key, and e goes after the d.

'Gradgs' would be understandable, maybe. It wouldn't be a big deal; you missed the e key because you were thinking about throwing a doughnut hole at a passing truck. Gragds, however... Well, ha ha ha ha, you better hope they add STUPIDITY checkers to Word 2004. Ha ha ha!

i probably would never have learned anything about computers, as all my knowledge was a result of cs and how to make it run better. before i played all i knew about computers was how to make maps for starcraft on our strawberry colored iMac...
The beauty of an iMac is its ease of sucking. You have to do almost nothing to make an iMac suck! It's brilliant! Apple, Apple, Apple!!! iLove APPLE!!

Most likely, I would't be playing counter-strike.
Look who just got a comedy dictionary for their birthday!

Yeah if counter-strike had never existed i would not have as many good friends as i have now. Through the course of admining on a server and attending LAN parties. I've forged a few really good friends, and many acquaintances. I've met people i otherwise would never had know existed.
That's sad and pathetic. Everyone knows you should make friends through Dungeons & Dragons parties.

I would spend a lot less time on the computer gaming, and when I did it would be spent only playing Team Fortress. Also, I wouldn't come to this site every day looking for the latest news and events. Come to think of it, I don't think I'd be online much at all, except to maybe look at pornography and talking to people I've never met.
You've got it all wrong. "...look at pornography while talking to people I've never met."

Without CS, I woudn't make csn mailbag comments like this:

Hey Rizzuh! I personally want to say that you suck. You run the disorganized, mismatched, piece of crap, waste of server space that we call CS nation. Even the things that you don't do are crap. for instance the SOTD! today It was nighthawk,but yesterday it was orphy and it is occasionally Dijise or DonnyOsmond! what is wrong with puffycloud, is he too lazy or someting? And I am still wondering what happened to lonewolf! Why bother going to csn? i can see the same news on the right time instead of two days late like you! your potd's are uninspired and poorly chosen among the rest of the better pics. and even if i did want to see your potd archive is VERY poorly organized. I can't belive there are 150,000 idiots that wanted to register with this site.
You know, Dad, this really isn't the way to reach out to your son! Why don't you try treating me nice and encouraging me?
