I would love it if I hadn't have to use hundreds of gigs to access it, since i just want to deposit it to a poker site immediately.
If you don't want to download the blockchain for any reason, you can export your private key(s) and import them into a SPV wallet like electrum, as suggested by mocacinno too.
In order to export your private key(s) from Armory, click here and follow the guide provided by HCP.
For importing your private key(s) into electrum, you need to create a new wallet, select "Import bitcoin addresses or private keys" and then enter your private key(s).

Warning:
Download electrum only from its official website and do not forget to verify your download.

 Make sure your Armony wallet sychronized with the blockchain.

I guess this is the issue here... @OP: there is no technical need that requires your wallet to have been online (not even once). It's not like a wallet needs to activate or register... There are types of wallets that are designed to be run 100% offline forever, you transfer unsigned/signed transactions between the offline machine and a machine that's connected trough the internet via (for example) an usb stick.

In short, just by following your story, it looks like you created a new wallet, generated an address, this address got funded, but your wallet isn't synchronised... This way, your wallet will now know the address is funded (it IS funded, your wallet just doesn't know since it isn't in sync).

AFAIK, armory is using bitcoind (or a fork of bitcoind) in the background (or at least, it used to when i last used it several years ago). This means a full synchronization might take several days, and it'll use several hundred gigs of bandwith and diskspace. If you don't have the time or resources, there's always the option to export your private key from armory and import it into electrum (electrum is an SPV wallet, wallets of this type do not need to download, store and parse the complete blockchain).

Unless you did something really weird, or downloaded a fake wallet, or run on an infected pc, your funds are not gone... Just make sure you keep a backup saved away and your funds should be safe... Maybe you cannot access them right now, but they're there.

Is my btc gone now forever or is there something I can do? Hope I make sense.
I am not using Armony but your coin is not gone if you sent it to the right bitcoin address. Wait for experienced Armony users to post about this. Make sure your Armony wallet sychronize with the blockchain (make sure your data network is perfectly working).

Hey, I'm not good at this technical stuff so explain to me like a baby lol.

I just downloaded armory and created a wallet. Then i bought btc from safello and used the btc adress from my new wallet. Now I have waited two days without receiving my btc. I saw afterwards that my armory wallet should be online at least once before i receive any btc which it hasn't. I have no idea how to make the wallet online or anything. Is my btc gone now forever or is there something I can do? Hope I make sense.
