Some asshat typing in continuous ######## into a chat room window until the room becomes so slow that it no longer works.
Jack: Yeah, we can go find some-
Jill: ######################## (repeat forever)
Jack: Fuck you, you're stopping the fucking chat with railroad lag!
Jill: #################### (repeat forever)
-chat then freezes-
The lag and bugs that come with searching or merely being on urban dictionary. Sometimes the page just shuts down forcing you to reload it for the 1000th time. Even like counts and search suggestions stop displaying every so often. In total, a complete mess.
I'm dealing with so much urban lag right now!
When you are playing a FPS game smoothly, but you start to lag as soon as someone starts shooting you, causing your death.
Nice, 60 FPS man!
Oh, someone is shooting me... WOAH WOAH, 2 FPS WTH,
*dies*
fucking action lag
When you get used to playing one type of game then switch to another but your brain is still thinking in terms of the first.
I was playing an fps for a bit that when I then swapped to a racing game I had major game lag.
When you're in a game and get blocked from moving a certain way by lag. So, running one way in a game and it suddenly stops you before the lag calms down and let's you run again.
Person 1: dude you suck at this, move forward
Person 2: no I cant, I just hit a lag wall.
When you are fighting with someone over AIM or Facebook Chat and in the time it takes you to type your response they have typed something else, and you send it after that topic has died.
Person 1: texting is for winners!!
Person 1: why dont you ever text?
Person 1: it is soo much easier!!
Person 1: OMG that reminds me.... i was texting jake yesterday and guess what he said??!
Person 2: NO! TEXTING IS FOR LOSERS!
Person 2: lol lag fighting.
The little time that seperates what you do online from what others do. This usually split-second time difference can seriously deduct from online gaming skill.
Example 1:
Guy1:*Gets sniped right as he released a shot at the other sniper, universal lag making it so he never really shot due to the fact that he shot at the last second, the server not taking notice of it due to universal lag* DAMN UNIVERSAL LAG!!
Example 2:
Guy1's screen:
Guy1: I love you.
Girl1: You never say you love me, I'm leaving you.
Girl1's screen:
Girl1: You never say you love me, I'm leaving you.
Guy1: I love you.
