For me, that's like talking about a book you have on your shelf, but haven't read. Experience is subjective, so unless you actually play the game, how will you know if you actually like it?
All the critics and reviews may say a game is wonderful and brilliant, but what if there is some little niggle in there that's a game breaker for you?

I don't know about donkeys but flies can eat a dog's ears down to a nub if they're outside a lot in the summer. I once resorted to Deet smeared on my GSD's ears to stop them, which I'm told is not the best idea, but it worked.

As for what I'm doing here, I can't seem to stay away from the furor over the release of D: OS.

because it's Canada Day!

I was checking in to see what today's new release was and figured why not look at the forum also to see what topics are going on.

Because I got reservations.

Why am I here? Ah yes, the age old question.

Why am I here? Why are we all here? Who are we anyway? What's our purpose in life? All those mysteries of life, all those unanswered questions. Like who, what, when, and where? And then whither, whether, whence, and wherefore to follow, and one big side order of why? And incidentally, what is the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything?

This is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation…

I am waiting for my friend so we can go on talk via Skype

Not if you do it right. That is the kind of log chopping in the back we are talking about, right?

That's as much far-fetched as it is useful :)
Now I know how I can eat frozen pie.

I was thinking the patrick bateman, paul allen type of chopping.

I was dropping back in to see what the forums were like now. Can't believe the Ninja Giveaway thread got shut down. Not entirely sure how something based entirely on the kindness of others got turned into something that required closing but oh well, point being I was trying to see if that was indicative of what the community is like now or not.

To have my games withheld until GOG want to give them to us, apparently..

Are there download issues currently?

Ah, are you a D:OS backer or do you just want to buy the regular version? :D
