You lost, by the way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_%28mind_game%29

There are three main rules to the Game:

1. Everyone in the world is playing the Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: "Everybody in the world who knows about the Game, is playing the Game.", or alternatively, "You are always playing the game.")
2. Whenever you think about The Game, you lose.
3. Loss must be announced.

I know some people here on Osu "play" it, so the title of this thread will probably be irritating and forever keep them from not losing. I know I definitely won't be able to play Osu without losing the game once or twice from now on.

Now that you know about the game, you can lose right along with us! It's fun, and a great way to ruin your day!

You're right about it being annoying, but not for the reasons you think.

Uploading Anti-mind virus.

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

If one of the rules of the game was that you had to slap yourself in the face, hard, every time you lose, would you still do it?

I lose the game all the time. It's a daily thing for me now.

I'm getting better, though. Today I went through all of from when I got home from school to when I ate dinner without losing!

I really don't care when I lose the game, though. And I'm constantly breaking rule #3.

I'm using hax that stop me from thinking about it, even when someone reminds me.
I've completed it on normal and hard, and I have a flawless online record.

It's kinda like life itself, Think about it, when you think something bad is going to happen, Opps here comes a bus through your room!!
Just don't think about it, then everyday is a suprise,And also if your happy about every little thing then think of how fun life will be, how can you lose at this game unless you quit right?

But it's impossible to quit. Now that you know when you think about it, you lose, you'll always be playing and/or losing. You may not really care about losing, but you still most definitely are.

Yes but what would you consider loseing, I must say that Loseing and winning is in the eyes of the beholder, Just try and love more and more things, then you can't help but win

I believe that I win the game every time I think about it, therefore I am the master of the game.

I also believe that gravity doesn't exist, therefore it does not.

My idiot friends and I somehow have indirect ways of mentioning the game. Just because of random things that we were joking about before we remembered the game (so far, the word list includes Ursaring, crystal meth, FedEx, and elephants).

Crystal meth, Osu!.
