CarrionCrow: If I remember correctly, you said something along the lines of "Say more stuff! Add more posts! If you get tired, drink more caffeine so you can talk more!"
That's how I'm remembering it, anyway. =)

Good morning, and yes, round 3/2 of Insomnia has slowed down significantly.

How are you doing today?
Fine thank you. That doesn't sound like me... but I'll take your word for it.

moonshineshadow: *wave* good morning :-) yeah the sale now is down to snail speed...
Hey moon *waves*

Have you broken your vow of abstinence and bought anything else yet ;)

That's okay. It didn't sound like me either, and I'm the one who typed it.

Stilton: Good morning little blue Travolta person! How are you this fine Friday....Tuesday....er......

adaliabooks: Lol, I knew I shouldn't have admitted that...

We're in the same time zone so it should be Thursday for you too.

I'm fine. Still lazing in bed, posting from my phone.
Oh yes.... I can just see it in your little Travolta hand!

Must be the coffee finally getting to you ;)

Haha, there's no way I could post if it was all the way up there...

Stilton: I borrowed the line from Shakespeare - no harm in a bit of artistic licence ;-)
While Shakespeare described the beauty of early mornings, with the words of an interior designer, Cervantes had whole pages dedicated to Sancho Panza's sudden need to alleviate himself, while his master criticizes the all-too-fragrant smell, right before facing a "dangerous enemy".

Now, which work of immortal literature is superior in your eyes?

In a way. I bought Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms to cover for Grargar if he could not make it back in time, since it was also on my wishlist (with low priority). And since Grargar was back in time to get his own copy I redeemed it myself :D So my count is up by one ;-)

I'll go for the interior designer ;-)

A bloke goes to the doctor and the doctor says, "You've got to stop masturbating." The bloke says, "Why?" And the doctor says, "So I can examine you."

-laughing hard- I can see how that would be distracting to the whole medical process.

That to me is the perfect joke, a quick one-two-three with a completely unexpected ending.

CarrionCrow: Rope play sounds like there will be a lot of chafing involved. Not striking me as the most enjoyable way to spend an evening.
Maybe that's where the hypnosis comes in. If you're hypnotized, maybe you won't notice as much.

EBToriginal: Well yeah if you just go off to Home Depot and buy cord there you can get all sorts of chaffing. Buy purpose built kink rope if you are really worried about it. Some of them even wick away sweat and are impregnated with stuff to keep them from going grody. I mean unless you like rope burn, or are careful. I have a scar on my left forearm from when a lover wanted to see what my pain tollerence was like early in the relationship. Seven and a half years later and it's still clear.
All I know from the inner workings of BDSM I learned from this. I was actually quite surprised, I had no idea just how much work went into the supposedly simple ropes.

I swear, I haven't ever run across another game in recent memory that makes me want to uninstall it as much as Meat Boy.

But I know that if I do that, I'll turn right back around and download it again.

I just want to beat it once and for all so I never have to play it ever, ever again.

I've heard that its right up there with DIY brain surgery as far as difficulty goes - instinctively its the kind of thing I avoid because of the amount of stress it induces. There are some games that should carry a health warning. Really.

It's pretty frigging bad in spots. Not quite power drill surgery-level bad, but pretty frigging bad.
Spent about an hour on one level, got maybe halfway through it, died several hundred times.

If you don't have the tolerance for it, it'll drive you right out of your skull.

adaliabooks: You guys have been talking a lot again. What have I told you about making lots of pages for me to read? (No really, what did I tell you, I forget) ;)

Morning all. We're all still waiting and watching I see. You know the sale has slowed down when you were talking about the same games that are up 6 pages ago....

I really can't stand the frustration some of these things create. Impossible to finish without headbutting a door fifty times does not mean its an automatic classic. That's why I left the final 'Think your smart, huh? Try this then' levels of Scapegoat. It wouldn't take too much for anyone to create a scenario that's so difficult it makes you scream. I prefer to play for pleasure, amusement and the simple distraction of entering a world that appeals and rewards my efforts. I think of that German kid on YouTube smashing up his keyboard, and although he's an extreme case, to a certain kind of addictive/unmanageable psyche games that willfully punish can do harm to the person playing them in the form of anger outbursts and outright rage. LEGO Batman is about as frustrating as I want to go.
