Yay! I'm always up for pictures of cats. We have no children, so our four-footed furry ones tend to be the substitute. (And Elvis was adorable, so no hardship to look at more photos of him!)

I actually posted that link to my Facebook account and tagged my aunt and two cousins; the three ladies in this video, personality-wise, could have been dead ringers for them. I'm still giggling.

I didn't see this earlier, but I wanted to say that you have my thoughts. I lost my mother decades ago and it still pains me; I can only imagine how difficult it is for you right now on such a recent anniversary. *hugs*

Yay, just spent 40 minutes in a losing battle with an AI that is full of shit.

This game is trying to make me quit.

But I won't. My hands hurt and my mouse doesn't click properly anymore, but I'll still beat it.

I wish I had a physical copy so I could take a hammer to it when I'm done.

*gets in line waiting impatiently*


Thank you. I lost my dad over twenty years ago, and I still have a knot in my stomach every time think about it.


Hi Crow, I see that I don't need to ask if you're ok.

Hey, Hyper. Okay over here, all in all.

I'm shit when it comes to advice, I make a poor shoulder to cry on and I have a bad habit of depressing the crap out of people when they're already feeling badly, whether I intend to or not, but I can scream about video games with the best/worst of them.

Don't sell yourself short, you were very kind to me and not depressing at all.
And you're definitely the best when it comes to screaming at/ about video games - that's how I was certain you're ok. ;-)


That was hilarious! And there are more videos with senior citizens playing games, cheers!

My apologies, dozed off at my desk, just woke up.

Thank you for both the comment and the compliment, they're both very much appreciated.

Morning everyone :-)
Hope everyone is fine!
and *hug for Hyper to feel better*

Good morning. =)

Can't complain here, hopefully your day is good also.

Good morning everyone !
How are you Moonshine ?
*Comforting hug* Hyper... I wish this sad day goes by quickly and well...

Good morning, everyone!

Hello LaPtiteBete and CarrionCrow!

How are you all doing today? Not long now until the weekend promo.

*Biggest ever comfort hug*

Hi, Crew! *hugs*

I remember that song :-). It didn't get stuck in my mind though, although it did get the music from Treasure Island Dizzy on the Spectrum stuck in my mind all morning. So far I don't mind, but I think by tonight it will be driving me crazy.
*shakes first at Crew for unleashing the evil of nostalgic game music :-)*

Morning, DD !! *Hug !*
How are you doing ?
Here, cold and fine...


Hi, CC !!
Didn't you sleep of all night ? Õ__Ô

My day has not been too bad so far, but it's still early. It's cold and windy, but so far no rain. I was going to host a second Star Wars giveaway in the general thread, but that darn trentonlf (only joking, he is awesome!) beat me to it.

Is that Dawn of War Soulstorm? I have only played up to the Dark Crusade. I love the games, but then I love the whole 40K lore and universe *points to avatar* :-). I don't play Dark Crusade with the latest patch though, as they completely screwed up the balance of the game, making the weak factions weaker (especially the Imperial Guard), and the strong factions (Adeptus Astartes and the Necrons)

No, I haven't slept yet. It's about 3 am here, might take a nap when the sun comes up. Or drink more coffee. ;)

I'm doing fine thank you. It's cold and wet here as well. It was raining during the night and so there is a lot of sloppy mud on the farm, which can make thinks a bit messy. But the pigs sure love it. :-)

I hope you are doing well? *big hug*
