Played Quake Too Long

[[EoM]Console]

This Thread was started by a great player "Mya"
I do not know for sure if she got it from somewhere else. I feel she did start it.
What I do know is it was started at a Q2 Forum about 7 months ago. Then copied to another Forum, where the list continued to grow.

Its really funny, and some applies to me. lol

Have a read and see for yourself, I am sure you will be surprised!
