sedricm: In other news, I posted this in that *other* Spring Insomnia thread and I was sort of surprised by the conclusion I reached... I was just typing off the top of my head, and the more I thought about it, the more profoundly ridiculous (and perhaps borderline offensive?) it got. I even squirmed a little and hesitated to hit "post" b/c it really does get close to the touchy subject of *real* religion, not just silly quasi-internet-esque satire...
Nevertheless I knew I wanted to share it here, on this (far superior) thread too:
(from LaPtiteBete)
Huge thanks to GOG for this epic sales ; I can't wait for next session (hum...my wallet let mee know it disagrees on this point ! ^^). At least I've learnt a new word : "to keane" ;-D
I feel a bit sad to have to quit... (like : "well... what will I DO now ?") and at the same time, a bit relieved. Now I have far too many games ; and so little time to play... But nevermind, I've got a whole life :) "inchallah" !
sedricm: Ha, I know how you feel, LaPtiteBete, I suspect many here will be suffering from "Keane withdrawal" when this actually IS all over, after we've all spent so much time/money and struggled so hard to stay awake to participate...
Hah! who'd have thought it? (I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry that I may have become ADDICTED TO KEANE in these last few days...anyone else there with me? lol!
Hmm. maybe after this is over we can start a support group,
Keaneaholics Anonymous?)
And yet, we probably don't have to worry too much, I am sure with the great success of this insomnia sale, the gog admins (or should I say the holy purveyors of Keane, lol) will make sure that, before too long,
Keane Will Rise Agaiiinnnnnnn, (to deprive us of sleep, food, and all of our worldly cares!)
EDIT: b/c all good cults have to have a resurrection narrative, right? ;) ;)
sigh.
Best Shadowrun story incentive ever.
A cult of insomniac hackers always trying to push their caffeinated limits in shopaholic fits forcing the locks on corporate websites to trigger random sales.
