Biggest L you ever took?

?

L ?

Lemons ? Lamp ? Lion ?

I'm not kidding...log? possibly? If that's not it, try a different letter, we're stumped here

@heroup2112: L as in loss or lose.

Just last week at the X-Wing Massachusetts regionals.

I'd never share that info.

@heroup2112: Take an "L" means take a "loss"

For example, failing a test counts as an L.

Crashing your new car (or old car) counts as taking an L.

Basically, it's kinda like the new "fail"

@gpower: I lost the full use of my spine, my left hip, and left shoulder, and some mental capacity. Yeah, I'd say that's the biggest one, or biggest ones if you'd rather.

@cameron83: I'm old ;) Figures I wouldn't be up on new slang.

so you fought a bear and lived to tell the tale :P
what happeneD?

Being born.

@lpnq: Just a bad day in a bad country. No bears though :)

Vertical line.

Vertical line and smaller vertical line.

Vertical line and vertical line.

Vertical line and horizontal line.

Get it?

Not getting my Bachelor's Degree on time. It took me seven years to get it.

Many may not see that as an L, but when you've racked up over $100,000 in student loans as a result, it's a pretty big deal. LOL.

@removekebab: Nazi?

@static_shock: woah man

what did you study?

@lpnq:

Hmm what did the competition entail?

Hmmm biggest L recently. Did pretty poor in my bio class as did everyone else because of probably the worst Professor I've had to date. Pretty big bummer...

@lukespeedblitz: I was the last ranked player, for a number of reasons:

1. I was out of my league (I've only been playing for four months).

2. My dice rolls were consistently awful.

3. I play as the Rebels, who are currently the worst faction in the game (unless you're using the Ghost, which I don't).

I failed out of uni. That was a huge L for me. really taught me a life lesson though..

bump

Signed up to comic vine.

Taking chemistry. Man that was a big L.

Thought this thread would be a lot less heavy hearted..

Big L

I got married.

@static_shock:

That's about how long it's gonna end up taking me lol im in my 5/6th year now

@buttersdaman000: What are you studying?

The first four years was a struggle for me because I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to study. I went from Computer Information Systems, to Exercise Physiology, to Paralegalism. After taking a year off from school, I eventually went back and got my Bachelors in Animation. Currently, I'm in grad school for Information Technology.

What were you studying for? And damn, that must have sucked. lol

100 000 dollars???? Jesus Christ that's a shit load of money for student loan, lmao. What kind of situation were you in for having to rack up so much money??? Were you studying to become a pilot? Because pilots usually have to put in that much money for a pilot's education, IIRC.

Edit: Didn't see your post above. But damn, 100 000 thousand dollars??

I didn't take school very seriously my first four years. So, instead of focusing on my studies, I focused on drinking, smoking weed, women, gaming, and partying. Also, animation courses in college are very expensive. So, that adds on to it.

@removekebab: me too. So sorry V-V

Mmm, surface level ones.... Last week I managed to get annihilated by High Elves with my Orcs. Black Orcs with my BSB and a Warboss were routed by freaking Lothern Sea Guard. I have never rolled so many ones in my life, save, of course, when I tried to make my leadership test, managed to roll super high.... and then got to watch my entire army crumble and get butchered.... So bad my opponent was apologizing to me as he butchered my boyz. Fun times.

Dropped my laptop down two flights of stone steps once. During lunch. In front of around a hundred people. Made a lovely, and cringe worthy, crash, crash, shatter sound.

The left lens in my glasses once popped out, skipped across the ground three times then fell into the drainage ditch in the sidewalk.

Broke someone's sliding glass door because I slammed into it, shattered the glass and bent the track. Shouldn't have used so much bloody Windex. (Was walking behind someone, I turned behind me to say something, didn't hear the door shut in front of me, and bam)

Had to listen to horrible poetry for an entire semester. Got numerous dirty looks when I refused to clap for that vast amounts of crap they managed to produce. They was lucky I didn't boo. (Mind, I don't mind the people that know their poetry is bad and they are just struggling through it, but when you get those people that think they are deep and interesting and are so proud of their terrible poetry? Yeah, no. Edgar Allan Poe sucks. Deal with it.)

Cried during more then a few sappy movies, worst one was probably the Painted Veil. Even hiccuped. Wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't watching it with other people.

Those are the 'I lose' or 'Loser' moments I can recall off the top of my head. I am sure there are way more because I am amazing at dropping the ball in life, but meh.

Eh, the personal ones are my own and I don't like/know anyone here enough to get into all that nonsense.

@removekebab: That is rough man. Know it isn't worth much, but I am sorry that happened.

@xwraith:Thinking about getting into X-Wing and Armada, funny enough. Glad to see they have a strong community.

Would love to see a tabletop ground warfare game for Star Wars akin to 40k or Warmachine, but X-Wing and Armada both look fairly solid.

@xnahtebx: @wut: ey ey ey, you got it all wrong; loss.jpg is an old internet meme that spawned from the control+alt+del webcomic series, it became infamous for it's rather sudden appearence on such a lighthearted series with a questionable execution. It quickly became subject of parody in several popular web forums and imageboards. Later, it would become something akin to the daily dose meme: someone would make a vague alusion to the comic with the objective of making other people remember it.

Seriously how new to the internet are you.

@removekebab: I have seen that comic before, I assumed you posted it in reference to something that happened to you recently.

You spelled something out (in an odd way that I don't care to attempt to figure out) then when asked to clarify, post that.

So..... don't act surprised when people get confused.

Imperial Assault might be what you're looking for.

I've never taken one.

Yikes.

@xwraith: Nah, I am looking more for a ground based game like this:

Let this be a lesson kids, if your superior officer tells you to get on the Canuck, take your chances with the court martial!

I was still breathing at the end of the day, I got off better than the guys on the other side of the flashes did. Not great, but it'll do. ;)

Wait, so was it a Canuck crash? My grandfather's Canuck crashed.

Damn.

@zetsumoto: No wasn't shit hook crash, Sorry, about your grandfather's though.

I didn't say he died lmao

@zetsumoto: I didn't say he did either. Live or die, crashing in a helicopter, I don't think, is anyone's idea of a good time. Good way to break things you don't want broken :)

Well, he technically wasn't in it when it crashed. He jumped. So it was the lack of a parachute that broke his ribs, not the crash itself. =P

@zetsumoto: ugh, deceleration trauma...also not fun.

The girl I like is with someone else...

Stole my brother's lamp yesterday, it was pretty big.
