Stilton: It really is amazing. During the summer they put a table and chairs in the tiny area between their front door and the pavement/boundary fence so we could all see mummy idiot, daddy idiot and the two little plebs eating their evening meal. Lucky us! The view from the front of our houses, while no cesspit, is not what any rational person would call attractive, and as a setting for a regular late afternoon picnic said rationals would rationally head for the grass and relative privacy of the rear garden. But not our Shakespeareans! Why pass up the opportunity to be seen and heard chomping down your nightly grub while imparting 'educational gems' to the bibbed little'uns dropping food in their laps and making all kinds of racket. People like that need on/off switches. All it would take is a quick operation and a pair of pliers. I'd happily do it for them. :-)

Consider my spleen now vented. :-)

CarrionCrow: Mommy idiot, daddy idiot, with two pint-sized soon-to-be trained idiots in tow. And people wonder why the world is fucked. Maybe it's the neverending circle of willful retardation.

People do have on/off switches. They're called spinal cords. You only get to flip the switch once, and you end up in "need to shiv someone day one or end up a bitch" level prison if you advertise it.

LeoLR: You could play Neighbours from Hell or watch that old Tom Hanks' movie (I forgot the name) where he has to deal with some strange neighbours. Maybe you can come up with some ideas to deal with yours.

Stilton: That's too close to home, although thanks for the thought. :-) Although there's always the catharsis of thumping the hell out of a simulated cretin and avoiding the consequences of doing it for real. That's a win-win in my book. :-)

CarrionCrow: Read that, thought to myself, "Well, I guess that's one way to handle the situation.", then my brain told me that I should probably try reading that again.

Stilton: Sometimes simulation helps, but in reality I'd love to do something to wise them up. Not that they'd understand, but it would be seriously nice to wipe that contented look of smug off their faces.

Additional: What's that total of yours now?

CarrionCrow: There is a way to do it. It's called pepper spraying them, cracking their knees with a bat, latching them to the back of the nearest large vehicle with heavy chain, then dragging them through a stretch of forest at high speed while screaming, "BET YOU WISH THERE WERE LESS TREES NOW, DON'T YOU!?!?!?!"

Very much not legal, though.

1,061 here. Still twiddling my thumbs on the broken mystery game thing. It's supposed to be fixed by tomorrow (maybe), so I'll know whether it's an addition or a gift then.

Stilton: -laughing- I think its great imagining what you'd like to do to settle the debt this kind of character amasses, while all the time remaining completely oblivious to exactly how irritating they're being to everyone around them. It really would make a great game. You could name them, access every kind of style to get them looking as close to the real thing as possible, and then do all sorts of unpleasant shit to them and ignore their complaints. Pneumatic drill to the skull? No problem! Buggered by a rhino? No problem! Nipples Superglued to the underside of a Eurofighter Typhoon? No problem!

That's a little more than twice my current list. The mystery thing should work well for you, as they're saying that 'Games you don't own will be prioritized.' If you have some hefty titles yet to grab you could be quids (dollars) in.

CarrionCrow: It could work, but most places wouldn't be willing to take the concept to its full extent. People always wimp out somehow when it comes to the "extreme violent murder" sub-genre.

Maybe. Mainly I did it for the hell of it, since my list for the day wasn't exactly massive. I excel at gambling like a guy with two hook hands excels at touch typing, so I know I'm pretty well screwed, even if it does come up as one I don't have.

Stilton: For all its crassness and dubious mods I still like Postal 2 for letting off steam now and then.

I didn't see how the mystery thing was broken. Did you or someone else say it was going to be fixed in a day or two?
