Title: Anyone else have weird FreeSpace related habbits?
Post by: Abyss on November 05, 2009, 11:05:09 am
I wounder if I am the only one. Well if you do have any weird FreeSpace related habits, please post them here.

My weird habit:
Ok, you know when you take a bath or a shower and you have a mirror in the room how it gets fogged up? Well for the past 5-6 years, when ever I am done with the bath/shower I always scribble "FS2" in the bathroom mirror.

Admiral Wolf role-plays as his namesake from the game. Take a look at some of his posts in the HLP London Threads and see what I mean

Wait, does he do that in real life as well???
That would make HLP London even better. :D :D

Really? It looks a lot more like "headbutt-tackle to the floor and go for the throat."

My weird FreeSpace related habit is compulsively checking the forum. Compulsively. Sigh.

I've yet to see the Galatea over london or related Transport ship parked in Trafalgar Square. And he's yet to turn up in uniform  :lol: Actually, He's surprisingly normal in person.

Yeah, I was actually a little let down. :lol:
 
My only habits are HLP, quoting Snipes outtake mumbles. . ."don don don dondondon don don" in moments where my concentration lapses. NTF affiliation aside, I also let the odd "bup bup bup etc" slip out. That and humming the subspace drive charge noise on the tube as it pulls away. I get some damn odd looks at Farringdon I can tell you. These habits only tend to slip out when i'm not with mates though :lol:

When I'm bored in class I sketch FS2 ships sometimes, among other things (science-fiction related).

I sometimes imagine the sound of charging and firing beam cannons when I'm bored at the train station... or annoyed at someone, but can't do anything about it, like over the internet.
Imagining someone being blasted away with four Sath beams is satisfying :>

Sometimes in debate rounds, I find my self tapping my right middle finger on the desk where the "maximize forward shields" button would be. :nervous:

Yeah, I totally find myself hammering 'q' in other games to equalize my shields.

Yes, that too, except I don't use trains. Extremely satisfying, in that there are always things to "shoot" at.

Once in a while I'll accidently say to someone "Look Terran....."

Every once in a while I'll remember when I used to play Freespace.

Oh, Hans Blix... nobody took you seriously!

The sound of the SGreen is forever etched into my eardrums. The HUD is also burned into my eyes.

I sometimes sing Freespace in a gregorian-like way. No text, just "frespaaaace", similar to how in church you'd sing "Amen".

More likely he has an illicit relationship with an Interceptor.

I try to impress the superiority of the Sath and Lucy unto every sci-fi situation I see. I also have sleep-related FS issues. I think some people will remember me telling my mom that I didn't want to wake up because there were Shivans out thar.

No matter what TV show or movie I watch, I always call their version of hyperspace subspace.....
