Never use the bathroom unless explosion is possible.
Keep snacks and drinks near by.
Don't be over confident.
No matter how good you think you are, there is ALWAYS someone better.

Add your own! I am short on ideas

Make sure someone is many levels below you and/or low on health before you decide to PK him. Unless you're into all that pansy "fair fight" stuff.

Never consume food you can't bring to the computer with you. Never clean up.

If something dosen't go your way, whine.

Shhh. Everyone will hear us. Everyone will know.

Never go outside when it's daylight. Keep all of your errand time/going to get food confined to the night.

Ditto. But I wear pants anyways, as my legs are hideous and hairy.

You'd be surprised, Kegwen, an unheated desk can really f00k up yer hands late at night when there's nothing better to play then Infantry.

Another rule, Though:

Always have a fridge nearby stocked with your favorite soda/beer. This is a must people, I cant stress it enough.

Always have a box of tissues near your computer desk (No, NOT for that you sickos!) for sneezing/spill emergencies. This is especially important if you follow the previous rule..

Coasters = 0wnage. If you have a coaster, then you'll almost never spill your drink, unless somone posts a the funny thread.

Thats all for now.

  • If you're going to swear at the machine, you may as well bring the walls down with it.

  • Anyone talking trash is too busy to play well; take advantage of this. Trash talk will cease shortly thereafter.

  • If a game calls out to you to be played in every waking moment, you bought a great game. If it calls to you in your dreams, attend counseling.

  • Upon finishing the game, or achieving something singularly fantastic within it, impress your friends with an end-zone style victory dance. If friends are unavailable, dance for your cat. If cat is unavailable, invest in a mirror.

  • The only "ultimate gaming rigs" in existence are consoles. Everything else is built to multitask.

  • If you really want to intimidate the guy you're playing against, jump out of a window, because you're an asshole.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Rules for gamers about playing games:

For FPS games: Pay attention, that red dot isn't decoration on the wall.

For RPGs: See that sword over there? Yeah, the big one with the jagged edge... ignore it, that small knife on the counter is your best friend.

For Puzzle games: Get the hintbook.

For RTS games: The units most often overlooked can often win the fight for you. Also, try things that aren't in sync with the normal way of doing things in the game. Failing all that, see the entry for puzzle games.

just 2 things.

1. Keep your room at a decent (by decent I mean hot) temperature, I cannot express how many fights I've lost in pk on my mud becuase my hands were numb with cold, I was lucky tho, in my apartment my bedroom was the only room in the place with a door aside from the bathroom (conveniently 4 feet from my bedroom door) so it acted as an extreme to whatever function the heating/cooling system was doing, if we set the thermo to 65 in the winter, my room was 80, and I loved it

2. always have at least 5 cans of mountain dew in grasp, always, no. there is no debate, 5 is the number that thou shalt have, and thou shalt have a count of 5.
