moonshineshadow: *big hug for AgentB since he did not get the happy hug this morning*
AgentBirdnest: Thanks. *returns big hug*
I did get something else happy this morning. A generous ninja left a gift in my inbox this morning. I played it for about two straight hours.
A while after that, for some reason I can't figure out, I just kinda snapped. I was at the sink getting a drink of water, and in an instant, everything just got all weird.
I got really freaked out, but not about any specific thing. Just general anxiety with no apparent trigger. Since that moment, I have had a hard time concentrating, I can't enjoy any games, I can't really taste anything, I am getting really irritated at everyone, and my mind is very sensitive to light and sound.
Not quite sure what happened.
^So there is my answer to CC. That is how I am doing today.
Massive anxiety attack that knocked you for a loop?
Sorry, man....gotta fucking LOVE when your brain pulls things like that for no apparent reason. I hope you start feeling better, and sooner rather than later.
CarrionCrow: Mutant League Football. ;)
Also, I agree - have to respect rugby players more, despite having no frigging idea how the game's played. Those guys are frigging nuts, which is pretty much always a plus in my book.
j0ekerr: Don't ask me about details. I have no idea under what circumstances you form a scrum. I think I did once upon a time but I've forgotten. But I can tell you the most basic rules which, in my humble opinion, make the game more interesting than American Football.
-You can't throw the ball forwards. When you pass it, the receiver must be somwhere behind you,
-You can however
kick it forwards, for obvious reason this is not done all that often.
-You can ONLY tackle the player who's holding the ball, tackling anyone else is a foul.
You're doing better than me. Wasn't aware of those rules. Will have to look it up later on.
CarrionCrow: More coffee on tap, more games to play, was thinking about doing my nails later but just looked and they're okay, so eight dollar polish can kiss my ass since the two dollar crap I bought works just as well. -laughs-
Ixamyakxim: LOL! Oh and you might appreciate this (as I was whining my head off last time I talked games in this thread) but a restart of Nexus and a walkthrough (to avoid "midmission surprises" that would necessitate a restart) brought out some fun for me. I really thought I was going to have to shelve a game I had been looking forward to playing - was happy I ended up enjoying it.
It's good that you found a way to make it enjoyable for you. =) Beats the crap out of simple disappointment.
