Title: You Know You've Been Playing Too Much NWN When...
Post by: Sage of Artifice on April 10, 2006, 12:15:00 PM: Gah! I was just over at NWVault looking at some preview screenshots for the upcoming Classic Dungeon tileset update when I saw one of the pop-up ads on the left side of the screen. It was for IGN mobile and it had this red bar in the ad. My first thought was...

TRAP!

Post by: SuperMunch on April 10, 2006, 01:00:44 PM: I find myself constantly tabbing and hitting Ctrl-F1 (Freldo's hotkey to laugh).

I've had to move my firefox to the first KDE pane (where the Ctrl-F1 command pops my screen to).

Oh, I'm also hitting enter before typing anything. :)

Post by: Stephen_Zuckerman on April 10, 2006, 02:23:45 PM: Ah, yes, the Enter problem. *He chuckles.* Also, I never used to use asterisks; not since I VEEEERY first started with chat-based RPing... More like -chuckles- or -looks at Freldo inquisitively-.

Now I'm pressing enter in IMs, especially when I enter a / command, and I keep wondering why my scroll wheel doesn't back me out or in on the view in Unreal.

Man! I have actually done that before. Been a while but on more than one occasion I have done that.

Heheh... I do that regularly.

I'm either a fifth level Expert or a fourth level Rogue. Can't decide which; I'm thinking Expert. Yes, a lowly NPC class. A lot of flexibility, though.

Hah! I've been hitting enter like that too..But this one takes the cake: When you're walking somewhere, Look up at a firetower/balcony, see someone in a black hoodie and other people smoking and have to look twice to be SURE it's not Ozymandias telling a story. ((yes I did that..Yes it was today...Yes I'm insane))

Post by: Messy on April 11, 2006, 07:35:47 AM: I started playing Icewind Dale again recently. For some reason I tried to use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out, only to get disappointed every time. I even caught myself doing it in Firefox...

Post by: SuperMunch on April 11, 2006, 07:52:12 AM: Zoom in firefox?

Ctrl-mousewheel zooms the text. :)
