That makes sense. Anything to avoid responsibility, or having to state once and for all that a lot of things are a crapshoot since they have no idea what other effects it'll have on a person beyond what it's supposed to treat.

Hmm....maybe >=X? I don't know, I don't have much experience in the silent treatment back and forth. I'd rather talk than just sit there seething.

Well, if nothing else, I won't get offended if you need to take breaks. Not like I'm in the habit of discussing anything too profound, it's all crap that'll keep until later. -laughs-

I know 8 is bad at times. From what I've heard, 10 is worse. I don't think they ever put out a 9 version anywhere, they just jumped from 8 to 10.

Great, just what everyone needs - more awful games. Think I'd rather see the FMV X-Files and the Resist or Serve PS2 Resident Evil clone than that.

Yep, physical form is the best. If you're not on some long trip with next to no space that necessitates a way to cram as much stuff in as small a space as possible, there's no comparison.

Communication is important in the age of paid files that can be removed instantly. Customer confidence is a very fragile thing, taking items away from people like that will just erode it.

-laughs- Good point. They evidently wanted to cut out the middleman to have more money. The funny thing will be when the game gets delayed due to lack of funds anyway. Thinking quite a few people will be asking the question of why that happened when they had even more to work with than on previous titles.

Let's hope so.

Goodnight to you as well, D, you're very welcome.
And no, you don't bore me. I don't spend time talking at length with people that bore me. =)

goood mooornings !

I'll just leave a huge pot of coffee here on the table...
gotta head to work. surfed the internets and discovered pitchfork.
rather entertaining music there... http://pitchfork.com/

Good morning.

Ah, coffee. Always appreciated.

Have a good day at work. =)

Good moaning.

I'm currently boiling with repressed rage, when I finally realized how idiotic I was by "not making a fuss over small change". It's kind of weird in a way. I didn't care about it throughout yesterday night, but I woke up today, thought about it, and suddenly I wanted to commit murder.

Delayed rage it's the worst kind of rage. You can't even release it in glorious violence, you can only hold it as it festers into a black, poisonous ichor.

Which is a lot like coffee.

Morning, everyone :)
**Big hugs and polite waves with random hot drink**

*big empress hug*

Some poetry for you all.

An ode to ye olden gamef of the arcadef
------
I've been all over the world
Blowing up bubbles with Pang!
And I finished Double Dragon
Using the elbow just.

With Ryu and Ken
I smashed the teeth off
Chun-li and Blanka.

Why would you want Skyrim?
When is so much better Golden Axe?

I'm ten bucks down
Throwing quarters at Metal Slug.
My arm aches and my ballsack's sweaty.
I'm about to kill the last stage boss.
The power's down, I shit on fuck!

I got off from being conscripted
By finishing Combat School
And got my black belt
playing Yie Ar Kung-fu
If we all squeeze a bit
four of us can play Gauntlet

Why do you want Need for Speed
When you already have Out Run

Rubberneckers surround you awaiting your demise
They throw smoke at you and breathe down your neck
Just like in Altered Beast I start to get pissed off
It's going to rain bitchsmacks just like Final Fight.

Waiting for the red piece at Tetris I get all tense.
That one in three dimensions was a turd inmense.

I ran around in my underwear
Through the graveyards of Ghosts n' Goblins.
Stop with Call of Duty already
Start playing Operation Wolf
--------
And here's the song version.

**Big owl hug back**
Hey there, lovely Moon ! how are you ?
Ho wow... I didn't know you were a poet, j0ekerr !! :D

Bonjour! :-* ... *-:
**Extra big hug, and taking some random hot chocolate**
How's Thursday treating you, my Empress? Hopefully a bit better than that evil dick, Wednesday?

Awww cute!
*big hug*
How I am? Same as yesterday :P
Is your day going better than yesterday?

Not really, just a translator.
So many cute owls. I can feel my sugar levels rising...

Good morning, lovely people of the thread!

How are you all on this wonderful chilly day?


Oh, we are sharing poetry. Here is the one I just finished reading by Andrew Marvell.
(Mistress is used in the archaic and literary term, meaning a woman loved and courted, not the more modern meaning)

“To His Coy Mistress

Had we but world enough and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love’s day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I always hear
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found;
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long-preserved virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust;
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.

Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapped power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Thorough the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.”
~ Andrew Marvell

Even worse, to be honnest.
But I don't care. I just do my best, and if it's not enough, they can go pl*ck themselves.
How are you ?

There once was a man from Nantucket...

Good morning, DD :-)

Nope :) ... same owlsh*t as yesterday... !
I wish we had a time machine, I'd hit the "PAUSE" button right now...
**Big busy hug**
