          - You downloaded so many maps, your UT directory takes up 10GB.

          It's not quite that big (yet)... REALLY! It isn't! Why won't you believe me?!?!

          Seriously, I think my maps folder is somewhere around 1-2gb, which is equally obscene. Even more obscene, I was just idly wondering to myself yesterday just how much space all of the CTF maps on NaliCity would take up.

            How about when you're asleep and dreaming, you try to figure out ways Not too KILL-YOUR-DUMP-SELF, or you're reliving a match and telling yourself you should have moved to the right and not the left! (D got me with another HEAD SHOT) :P

              This is taking it to a whole other level! Imagine if we had gotten Paddle Pong or the Atari logo engraved somewhere on our bodies back when it was hot. HA!

                      What's really sad is when you come home for lunch one afternoon, and your roomate is hiding in the garage sneaking around, and as you get closer, he jumps out and screams "Headshot".. lol... or even worse when you get up before the sun comes out 6 hours before you go to work, just to play UT with your friends from the UK, cause you know that they'll be playing, because its afternoon to them! Im not mentioning any names though.. haha

                              ok.. even worse... when you go on vacation like 1,000 miles from your house.. and you take a computer with you.. that happens to not have a cd drive.. you actually think long and hard about having one of your friends email you all the UT files over a 56k, with a crappy connection, cause you dont want to lose any of your abilities while your gone..

                              i dont know who would even think of doing that... lol

                              i dont know anyone on vacation right now... Do you Elvis? lol
