5punk

In a couple of weeks it's 5punk's 10th birthday. I was hoping to write a birthday article for the front page, and filling it with our fondest memories of the last ten years is a fine way to celebrate. So have a think, reminisce, and put your memories down here.

A few headers to start the neurons firing:
CSS tournament, 5perm clan, ninja concerts, ROBO
AIDS cannon, capture the bath, that map with the railings

Many beardy adventures. Deject fishing in bins for clues, Glibberig's epic songs, exploring an MSPaint'd spaceship for hours
5punky Awards
Bobbins convincing people he needed wheelchair access at LanSE

5punk's early forays into WoW, Including sunday toilet and 4 DK, 1 Pala Heroics.

Brum & Beard Bash stuff, including:
- That mounting excitement of everyone arriving and generally saying "BASHBASHBASH" in all possible communication protocols we have with each other
- 5punkers tendency to turn into a committee in tabletop beards, diplomatically sitting around a table discussing how much we don't trust this high pitched gnome guy
- Further diplomatic problem solving in sleeping bag/bed placement to minimise the amount of room-shaking snoring
- Blasting static in Berk's ear when I was the ship's communication officer, so he came and shoved me in a locker
- Red Dead Redemption horse punching for like a full hour
- Imitating diving into cover in the courtyard at Grimmie's flat and The Last of Us style crablooting everything, then realising Grimmie's neighbour was watching us from the balcony the whole time
- Y. Signal and his brother P. Signal and other such Streets of Rage shenanigans
- Puttin' stuff on sleepin' Jock
- Wearing about 5 hats at once and a gasmask too why not.
- "This year maybe I'll eat some healthy snacks at the bash!" - the lie I tell myself every bash
- Belgium barbecue meat pile
- Any barbecue meat pile
- Meat
- Hektor's lil dog face

Videogame stuff, including:
- COD4 Christmas map, hardcore mode, deagles from across the map
- The old TEEF times, moving gears up. Move it up, move it up!
- Magicka W A Space W A Space! and ARSE mines
- The extreme difficulty in getting Gmod working for us all, but the fun we had when it did. Mostly blasting around being iron man and wrecking everything.
- Forever disappointing Grimmie by gaining a million levels on him in just about any multiplayer game that has levels
- That time we all changed our name to variants of Dog Pants in a counterstrike match
- Counterstrike Prophunt/Hide&Seek, hiding as a flashing red and green chair, train honk noises etc
- Our ability to all be in one teamspeak room, playing different games and cross-talking for quite frankly a lot longer than any normal person should be able to

Bashes: Jock fondling himself in his sleep on Grimmie's sofa to the horror of everyone around. The snore chorus at Jockbash.
Gently mocking randoms on pretty much every fps game ever.
Pnut's flying in Arma.
Pant's battlebus driving in Planetside2.
5punk's alternative names for every game we play.
Any coop game when it goes horrendously wrong.
No, I'm Grimmie!
CS/TS name changing to come up with the most offensive/humorous names possible.

Tactical Intervention

Pnut's brief foray into blackhawk piloting in Beef, ending upside down on a petrol station 10 seconds later.
Spending 30 minutes loading a car in ARMA with just about every conceivable weapon, getting half a mile down the road and the car despawning, confusing 4 drunken 5punkers.

I'd forgotten about those missions on Threef, I must* go back and complete them at some point now I have a decent internets

*probably won't

Good stuff guys. I need to write some of this up into actual paragraphs, but I need help with some of it.

What's the origins of Bummers/Willies? I remember early bumming in Eve, and it was my warcry in CoH, but was there a defining start to it?
Where does Is This A Code come from?
What was thee story behind TV missiles? Was it just Deej shouting at Bobbins?
How many children do we have now? I can contribute two.

Are the earliest uses of "this is not a code" in search, so it probably spawned on the disco board around that time.

The TV missiles was just that, only in Classic deject rage.

Who was the background screens of BEEF? That was fucking hilarious.


Forum origins on Bummers was Joose, in an eve thread, then continuing mostly in the MMO forums, notable parties being Joose and Fabbles.

I suppose mine and fab's decade long bromance should be mentioned also.

and lunch penguin chat.
