So today my new schoolyear started. I dropped out of lawschool due to motivational problems and I started with international marketing.
During the first class in which I met my fellow students for the first time I overheard some guys talking about Wolfenstein 3D. Some dude had brought his laptop to class ( is allowed) and was playing it. Eventually they started talking about Return To Castle Wolfenstein and about Enemy Territory.
One of them goes like: "Well yeah, but RTCW is dead online, Enemy Territory still has a lot of publics and even a semi-active competitive scene.", right after that he gives me this look:
I'm like:
The conversation continues while the guy tries to explain the meaning of "a competitive scene" to his friends", apparently they are people of the WoW-genre and not so much of the FPS one. He starts talking about national teams and about international lanparties, he cassualy mentions that Belgium has won a worldcup of Enemy Territory some years ago. Again :
I'm like :
And finally he mimics the name "Kevin" with his lips. I was like :
In short: Which one of you fuckfaces was in my class today?
PS : I kinda wish I was making this up, it's quite annoying that people in my class are rapidly going to find out about me playing computergames 24/7.

I LOL'd

But I might be mistaken, couldn't have been Belgium but I thought it was definitely Kot who saved the day for Poland..
Enlighten me by providing the link or date of the game you believe it is..
we lost to finland on adler too tho :p
:D
and u were stareing all this time ,maybe he thought ur homo,and said something else
Though who the fuck talks about comp gaming in the first conversation they have with someone :X
And I'll try to take a pic of him next week, because I'm not sure in what other classes I'll run into him :(
one of my best friends is a guy i've known for ~9 years now...after around 5-6 years of knowing me he once came into school, saw me, and burst out laughing, i was like "....what's up?"
him "...............hentai?!"
me "..........what?"
him "hahahaha :D:D"
me "....how'd you know about that?"
him "was joining the team uk clanbase page for urban terror and saw your name on the enemy territory list" (http://clanbase.ggl.com/claninfo.php?cid=679494 - used to show names, doesn't anymore)
etc.
so yeah, small world!
in a boring pause one guy typed to me:
"where in london are you from anyway?"
turned out we lived really close to each other and then he says "where do you work?"
told him and he's all "STFU LOL"
worked with him and he was at college with my gf at the time :DDD
When
Not getting an x, seeing as I'm not gay.
see what i did there? for you!
E: Not to forgot the time when lots of us were hanging outside in the downtown and
alweer een hele tijd geleden, maar toch...
Turned out I registered to a university website with loazis as my name while most of the other (normal) people apparently used their real names. Was fucking weird.
ET doesen't have the same status as War- Starcraft in Korea :)
gl finding out ;]
To be honest if you explain most things to other people they're going to be bored unless they're passionate about it. There is no shame in playing competitive games whatsoever and its 10000000000 times better than talking to your friends about levelling up on WoW or how many guns you've unlocked on CoD because that just sounds much worse.
Did have a bit of a "ummmmmmmmmm" moment when a girl needed to borrow it and was like "oh this is a nice shirt, where/why did you get it?"
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
We ate outside and when we were done we started going away and suddenly someone shouted
funny :D!
better would be u said u r Kevin ... he think u want to troll him but BÄM! no go^^
Just make sure he's in your projectgroup, and let him do your work aswell!
And I see Ordian every week :D!!!
I see kevin about once every 2 weeks when I am in Maastricht again... didn't know u knew him too xD
btw better for me to take 4 months to figure it out then to creep you out like this guy... x))
besides ur not famous by ur facial features, just by ur nick, so how the hell should I know that my keyboard player is Mr. famous ET-player? xP
sup?
maar dan nog, waarom ging je er dan niet bij staan als ie t erover had?:o
het is zo een aula van laag naar hoog, ik zat een paar rijen boven hem, kon moeilijk over de stoelen klimmen om hem zo een domme vraag te stellen ^^
zal wel leuk zijn als je weet wie t was, succes ;)
Could've also just asked him for his nick? :p
