#2 applys to ME

[Bob Todd]

I did something like this on the old board... see if I can dig it up...

Finally found it on page 13:

You know you're a WipEout fan when:
-You name your pets after WipEout pilots or teams.
-You've bought all the separate soundtrack discs.
-You've taped all the soundtracks so you can listen to them in the car.
-You decorate your room in your favourite WipEout team's colours.
-A WipEout site is your homepage.
-You've created a WipEout fan site.
-You have a WipEout screensaver.
-You attack anyone who criticises WipEout.
-You visit this board every day and post every day.
-You dream about WipEout.
-You have squillions of screenshots and arts of WipEout stored on your computer.
-You buy one of those design-your-own-T-shirt kits and make a WipEout T-shirt.
-You are constantly hunting for more WipEout merchandise.
-You have a WipEout-related e-mail address.
-Your friends are sick to death of hearing you talk about WipEout.
-You have a WipEout-related nickname, and prefer it to your real name.
-You actually change your real name by deed poll to a WipEout-related name.
-You have jumped on the back of a moving shopping trolley and tried to airbrake it.
-You say "contender eliminated" whenever someone gets sent off in a sports game.
-You say you are hyperthrusting when you run really fast.
-You say "3...2...1...GO!" like the WipEout commentator whenever you start your car or bike.
-You say in your will that when you die you want to be cryonically suspended until WipEout is invented for real.
-You own the entire collection of WipEout games, including all the Japanese imports as well as both the European and American versions.
-You only buy games that resemble WipEout (e.g. Rollcage, Killer Loop).
-Your Christmas and birthday wish lists consist solely of WipEout-related things.
-You refer to the wing-mirrors on your car as "proximity indicators".
-Your favourite drink is Red Bull, just because it appears in 2097.
-You design your own personal logo just like the pilots in the first WipEout.

[rhys]

hehehe those are great!

-you take turns at full blast then realise that you dont have airbrakes fitted to your car

-you wonder why halfords doesnt stock spare anti grav parts

[Feisar]

- you think people who hate wipeout hate you

- you eat WipEout cereal

I used to write 3 2 1 GO! everywhere, nearly almost complete with Curly. Sometimes I'd just settle for the phrase. I've considered theming my room around AG Systems a little bit. I thought it be really cool to paint an AG Systems Transit Van. Whoop Ass!

Myke.

[Spaceboy Gajo]

The transit van sounds great. After seeing a wip3r submitting a wallpaper of a Subaru Impreza painted in Feisar colours I think about doing that to a Beetle or a Golf.

Great thread!

spaceboy gajo :D

[Dscaper]

The last one in Pyro's long list is oohhhhh sooooo true.

I even had this as a decal on my mech in MechWarrior4.

Heya all btw... good to be on board.

:)

hi Dscaper. welcome. :)

[Dscaper]

Thanks Lance :)

[DJ Techno]

Hey Pyro

don't forget on your list of being a dedicated wipeout...

-You change your name, to the name of a Wipeout or Wipeout Fusion pilot
-If you are really into racing, you turn your car into a WIpeout craft
-If you have a hobbie, and it includes model kits or wood carving's make your own AG craft of every Wipeout team

that's a good list Pyro

[Bob Todd]

- you eat WipEout cereal

Wow! They make that? :wink:

They should do WipEout pasta shapes; that would be quite amusing.

[Dscaper]

Two hours later and you're sat on the toilet thinking that it'll go round the bend faster than an Auricom down Manor Top. ;)

[infoxicated]

LOL :lol:

Very good! Anti-Gravity Toilet Humour...!

Can any of the lifer's tell me if we've had *that* before!? :wink:

[Hydra XL]

you lay down a cinder block on ur accelerator pedal and flare your doors out to brake/turn and wear a helmet w/ a pull down visor for no reason (or for good reason) and listen to sasha the whole time, drinkng red bull, leaning back in your car over those raised railroad crossings hoping to tilt up and glide away only to crash and wait forever for the restarter bot...

[Nathan Adams]

i believe he/she/it prefers to be called the 'wuss wagon' :wink:

This is exactly what they do in kentucky, except they drink Moonshine, listen to Hill-Billy Banjo Classics, and the restarter bot is the Cops!

[Lance]

.
when i lived in Kentucky, i didn't see any of this moonshine racing activity, but i didn't live in the mountains at the east border of the state. i suspect that actually drinking your tax-evading product would lessen your chance of getting away from the police and their friendly little wuss-wagon hospitality vehicle

[Spaceboy Gajo]

Almost sounds like an episode involving the Duke boys.

I know wrong state :lol:

[Feisar]

Now that you mention it, some bluegrass songs sound somewhat techno-ish. The thumping of a bass drum or bass guitar (especially washtub bass), the grating percussive sound of a washboard, the metallic plinking sounds of a banjo (which played really fast sounds like the beeping of a computer, at times). All that's missing is a siren. :D Of course, you could have the fiddle player take care of that. :wink:

That said, who's up to remixing "Wabash Cannonball", "Soldier's Joy", or "Orange Blossom Special"? (besides me, of course...) :lol:

[Feisar]

you should see this stuff performed live, it is hilarious, yet awsome!




i really think im addicted to the computer

Reason :
i keep thinking if i dont change the channel on my TV that a screen saver will come up, this gets very scary at times.............. :wink:

[bunkergate.7]

one big problem: if you're addicted to wipeout you HAVE NO TIME to eat sth!

another point:
-everytime you hit sth you say "warning - shield energy low"


Bei Adrenalinmangel wird ihnen wipeout empfohlen.

[AmigoJack]

Adrenalin ist ein registrierer Markenname von WIPE'OUT''! 96% CVG Gold

you know youve gone over the edge when you miss the airbrakes in your car.
oh - and you get nervous if you havent seen a red pitlane for a long time...

[hi-nrg]

- when you spend years for reading programming and design bibles just to make the next generation of WipEOuts ;)

[Asche XL]

I'm bumping this thread, it's golden, who has some more contributions?
