This is another useless poll brought to you by TDP Enterprises:

Post on this thread if you think your life is a useless waste ruled by your computer(which you dream about in your sleep) and other gaming consoles. I.E.:

If you have 100+hours logged into WoW...you might be a useless waste.

If you spent last saturday trying to get the hot coffe mod downloaded on ur pc...you might be a useless waste.

If you tried to be the one to log the most battlefield 2 demo hours onto xbox live so you could win some prizes...you might be a useless waste.

If you have mastered every single command in dbpro and now the only thing left to do is make fun of noobs...you might be a useless waste.

If you havent mastered one single command in dbpro and all you do is make fun of noobs...you might be a useless waste.

If you p***ed your pants when you heard that the xbox 360 premium was going to be $400 and then contimplated selling your pet to raise the money...you might be a useless waste.

If you are over 25 and have kissed 3 or less girls...you might be a useless waste.

If you cried(or came near to it) when you found out the new zelda wasnt coming out this year...you might be a useless waste.

If you are among the top-25 highest levels for any mmorpg...you might be a useless waste.

If you spent over$2500 building a sweet computer and you have a sh**y car and house...you might be a useless waste.

If you sold you sh**y car and/or house so you could build a sweet computer...you might be a useless waste.

If gaming costs make up anywhere around 10% of your yearly expendtures...you might be a useless waste.

Need i go on? So if you think your life is a useless waste, post on here why. Why do this, you may ask. Because if your even border line to responding on this thread, your a nerd, and just like wolves, nerds have to stick together to survive(thats dam right, i just compared nerds with wolves).

If you bet away more than 50% of your cash on hand with partypoker, your life might be a useless waste

If you have spent hundreds of dollars on the latest and greatest game creation tools and don't know the first thing about game creation, you might be a useless wate.

If you neglect to feed your cats because you wanna get just one more kill in Halo then you're a usless waste.

If your name begins with TDP, then you're most likely an idiot.

If you have created a geocities or freewebs website and claim to be a multi-national corporation of game designers, you might be a useless waste.

Or maybe you've played it about 30 minutes every day since its release...

Quote: "If you spent last saturday trying to get the hot coffe mod downloaded on ur pc...you might be a useless waste."


Ain't that hard... and it only takes about 25 seconds to install it. Not that I'd know.

Quote: "If you tried to be the one to log the most battlefield 2 demo hours onto xbox live so you could win some prizes...you might be a useless waste."


Or, quite possibly, the prizes are appealing to someone.

Quote: "If you have mastered every single command in dbpro and now the only thing left to do is make fun of noobs...you might be a useless waste."


No, that means your pretty good at this programming thing (although I don't understand the concept of "mastering commands", its good that you know them and how they work, but can you make them work together?) and maybe you should move on to a more higher level language.

Quote: "If you havent mastered one single command in dbpro and all you do is make fun of noobs...you might be a useless waste."


Holy crap! The first one that made any sense at all.

Quote: "If you p***ed your pants when you heard that the xbox 360 premium was going to be $400 and then contimplated selling your pet to raise the money...you might be a useless waste."


Or maybe, just maybe, you really want a X360, and all your pet does is p*ss and sh*t on the walls of the apartment, its a win/win situation.

Quote: "If you are over 25 and have kissed 3 or less girls...you might be a useless waste."


No, you actually have a serious psychological problem with social interaction that really needs to be worked out. Or your ugly, that too.

Quote: "If you cried(or came near to it) when you found out the new zelda wasnt coming out this year...you might be a useless waste."


Refer to my blog, about 2 or 3 posts down (http://blog.myspace.com/erict). The reason one may cry about this, is the fact he had already pre-ordered the game completely in the sense that it was coming out in november, as was said, and with nintendo usually spot on release date hits, it came as a supreme disapointment to nintedo fans everywhere that the game was delayed. It has also made some of us worry about the state of the game, ney, nintendo, in the near future.

Quote: "If you are among the top-25 highest levels for any mmorpg...you might be a useless waste."


Or maybe you are especially good at playing certain MMORPG's.

Quote: "If you spent over$2500 building a sweet computer and you have a sh**y car and house...you might be a useless waste."


Or maybe we don't need a car, and the house may look sh*tty but $2500 wasn't going to make a difference? Not that I spent that much on my PC at the time of purchasing each little piece, though it was close.

Quote: "If you sold you sh**y car and/or house so you could build a sweet computer...you might be a useless waste."


Not sure what to say about that one...

Quote: "If gaming costs make up anywhere around 10% of your yearly expendtures...you might be a useless waste."


I have a low income, but I spend about 15-20% of my income per year on gaming. Its my hobby, and its other peoples hobbies. And I'm sure there are some people who make a good chunk of change, who spend that much on gaming like its nothing.

So what I am trying to say it, leave the "you might be a..." type stuff to people like Jeff Foxworthy (who does "You might be a redneck if...") Because you really suck at it. The whole point of it is, it has to be somewhat realistic or true, thats how its pulled off.

It's very easy to spend 10% - even 40% of your part-time Burger King income on video games.

Whats that, about 2 or 3 games a year? Or a 3 year old console?

The average month I spend around 150$ on gaming. Though the last few months have been really slow gaming wise and i've actually spent about 70$ each month. I'm sure come november i'll hit the 500$ in a month mark.

no, i am one of those cheap b**terds who wait until games are dirt cheap before they buy them. I have only bought one game a full price...halo 2!!! My gaming expenses will go up considerbly this year because, of the 360. I have about 40+ xbox games that were pretty much all bought 2 years after they came out for <$15, exluding halo 2. And the only game i have ever played n the computer was hl-1, well and the demo of hl-2, cuz i am too cheap to buy the real thig.

I probably spend around £100 per month on games, and the same again on useless shwaag like CD's and DVD's. (luckily that's not nearly 10% so I'm golden )

I need to add these though:

* If your car CD stereo is worth more than your car then you could be a useless waste.

* If you've ever worn a tracksuit in public you could be a useless waste.

* If you've ever worn a tracksuit to a bar or club then your a useless waste and should be put to death immediately.

* If you call average looking girls ugly just to appear 'successful' then your a useless waste.

* If you weigh more than a truck yet still go looking for love on the internet due to lack of shame, your a useless/shameless/neckless waste.

* If your too afraid to complain at McDonalds incase they tarnish your next burger - your a useless waste.

I am completely the reverse of this so I think I am home free. My computer is rubbish but, my lovely black and red gsxr600 has carbon micron end can, prolite racing disks, stainless hoses, double bubble screen, sticky bridgestone bt014's, custom painted wheels(Red with polished alloy rims), I never take the seat cowling off so it always looks like a single seat racer.......Yeah ok I’m a useless waste.

Mmmmm, not quite!

Quote: "If gaming costs make up anywhere around 10% of your yearly expendtures...you might be a useless waste."

With 8 game consoles and countless games for them all, damn..!

Here're some other possiblities:

If you miss meal times because you're on the computer you might be a nerd.

If it takes more then your hands to count the number of times you've completed any particular game you might be useless.

If you think it's cool to mimic game characters voices and actions you might be extremely sad, or five years old...

If sun-light causes you discomfort in the winter you might need to get it checked out.

If you have ever heard of the Princess Maker you might be breaking the law in your country...

If I had a gun right now, I'd repaint the wall.

If you don't understand how a FPS could be played with a keyboard and mouse you've definately never played games on a PC.

If Tron is amoung your favourite films, you might be getting old.

If you remember games like Elite, Exile or Stryker's Run, you might be a retro game knowledge-base.

If you can reproduce the noise of a Dot-Matrix printer, you might be able to scare the cats away.

If you can count the number of girl-friend you've had on one hand you're either lonely or extremely sensible.

If you're still reading this, I'm quite amazed.

If your computer is fitted inside a fiberglass F1 car body-shell, you may need to find alternative forms of entertainment.

If your arm begins to ache when you lift things, you may be suffering the beginnings of repetetive strain injury.

If you don't suffer from migraines, you're a lucky ******.

If you have a pair of 3D glasses sitting next to your computer you may know that they are some games that use them.

(gasps for air)

Don't look at me like that!
You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me!
