Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Morsul the Dark · 06-29-2009, 05:45 AM

I agree try reviving one you like... sometimes it works...

EDIT: I'd also like to say you know you're addicted when you check back every 5 minutes to see if anything new has happened

Yep, that's definately true

Also, when you try to rep people on other websites.

Morsul the Dark · 07-01-2009, 10:41 PM

Yesterday two things happened that make me wonder why I'm not in a mental institution...

First, we pull up to my grandparents house and my brother shouts:
"It's the Sauce Pan Man!"

Second:
We were watching television and an advertisement came on; it said:
"Get your new Phantom today."

Morsul the Dark · 07-03-2009, 12:38 AM

not sure if this counts as "Addiction" or "Narcissism" anyone else search fdor themselves to see if anyone's talking about them?

Hakon · 07-03-2009, 01:35 AM

I have not done that, but thanks for the idea.

I can tell I am addicted since every time the internet or email is mentioned in a book I am reading, I instantly think about this site.

Morsul the Dark · 07-11-2009, 10:11 AM

I may be the only one but...

As soon as you find out someone likes LOTR even in the smallest bit you suggest they check out the barrowdowns

Haha, I've been going beyond that with my roommate.

He is pretty obsessed with Harry Potter, so I figured he would have liked LOTR too, but was flabbergasted when he said he didn't. He just said he never understood the movies, and I went into a long lecture about he has to read the books (if he liked 'His Dark Materials' he would have to love Tolkien! was my thinking). Then we did an all day marathon of the 3 movies, where I sat and dutifully answered every question he had, any confusion he was undergoing, and still nothing.

Is that obsessive?

Only slightly

When whatever you open Firefox for, you automatically go first on the 'Downs and then wonder how you got there...

Morsul the Dark · 10-20-2009, 05:12 AM

When you can't go onlne(Or more of shouldn't) All ypu can think about is who's getting lynched in WW

Loslote · 10-20-2009, 06:42 PM

When you write an epic(ish) poem about what's going on in WW during PreCalc...

Morsul the Dark · 10-20-2009, 07:00 PM

You'll share said poem yes?

Loslote · 10-20-2009, 07:04 PM

If I ever finish...it's kind of dependent of the outcome of McCaber's game, plus it's not very good. *blushes*

Morsul the Dark · 10-23-2009, 11:14 PM

anyone else forget about the Actual website barrowdowns.com not the forum?

I just went through it for old time's sake I'm taking the "walk to Rivendell" challenge Isengard here I come

I did not know the actual website existed for the first months I was active on the forum.

At school, we had a project in which we had to design a video game.
For mine, my first thought was of a LOTR parody that went something like this:

The LOTR Dance-Off

Scenario: You have been trapped by the evil side and they have decided to allow one of you to escape. This is decided by a dance-off for their amusement.

Contestants:
G-Wizz (the dance-floor wizard)
Leggy-lass (the beautiful female)
Argon (the noble air)
And last but not least, Boromir the Disco King (It was by this time that I realised that I would be posting on this thread)

Judges:
Sour-One
Sourer-Man
Mr G'lum

And then I realised that no-one in my school would get all of the references (A depressing thought really), so I changes my idea to something more serious.

Oh my goodness, do something for a change, man! That's crazy.

Although, on second thought, it's only 40 minutes until the deadline... But I remember being like that in my third or fourth game, it was crazy.
