Hey Crow, I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of taping that fall of yours and putting it on YouTube.

What I can't figure out is why you never mentioned that car at the end.

Crow's Fall

CarrionCrow: You have piqued my curiosity...what daily situations do you deal with that cause you to fall up staircases frequently?
And beyond that, how do we get you out of those situations? ;)

EndreWhiteMane: It's the anti-gravity shoes he wears.
Or an escalator :-P

They seem to be faulty, if he's wearing them but still hits stairs to fall upwards on.
Do they only levitate him a quarter of an inch, so his feet catch on every one as he goes?

-laughing hard- That was totally a setup. I know that because the person actually got up and walked away.
If that wasn't a setup, the guy would've laid in the gutter until an ambulance showed up.

adaliabooks: Ouch.

Ironically, I haven't fallen down any stairs but I do frequently fall up them... it's reasonably painful too but not as bad as falling down them would be (I imagine)

Just not very careful when going up stairs at speed... used to do it a lot at my previous work, too much rushing up the stairs carrying things...

Usually it just means stubbing your toe and banging your shin(s)...

I'm surprised Beyond Good & Evil and Legend of Grimrock are taking so long (not that BG&E is really taking that long, but I would have expected it to fly out). I suppose everyone must have it by now...

EndreWhiteMane: Apparently the only way I'll ever get my shelf to 400 is by buying things I don't really want, or that are expensive enough to bankrupt me.
Decisions, decisions. :-)
Well, I don't know if this will increase your library numbers, but it will decrease your list, at least.

When you have a moment, feel free to check your PM's. (Almost just typed that as "feel check to free your PM's, like they've been suffering under a cruel regime and await the spark of revolution...)
Looks like round 3 has begun. :/

Yeah, I figure those two are reaching saturation, at least for this sale.

That sounds painful. Try to do something quickly, and all you get is smashing the hell out of yourself.
Your old job sucked.

Also, if someone here is thinking of Legend of Grimrock 1, say so here before you buy it, please. =)

I free'd my PM's and they are very happy now. They say to thank you very much! :-)
Seriously thanks, I've been putting that off for a while now. ;)

tinyE: Well the guy had me going through my system and getting pissier pissier but never pushing any hardware or downloads on me so I stayed with him.

Eventually he was having me bring up was seemed to be a log of some sort from my START/Computer/Management file when he asked, "How long has your computer been having this problem?"

I said it doesn't have a problem, it's running fine.

He then yelled at me, "Well obviously it's not!" At which point I told him to go back to India and I hung up.
Obvious scam is obvious, for the exact reasons Endre has mentioned.

Tech support will never call you directly without identifying themselves, and will never know you have a virus on your private computer. They might, on a work monitored terminal, but never on your machine.
They put a shitload of Indy up and it's still flying. :)

OK, I lied, it stopped flying. :/

Of course it is Indy, who doesn't want that ;-)

Not a problem, you're welcome. =)
Also, it was the perfect size for my remaining games budget. -laughs-

Thanks again, to you and everyone else.

Oh lord, you are as bad as me. Let's see, I have $3.00 left on PayPal, now what can I buy for that? :-)

Ongoing advice is this:
If anyone ever calls like that about anything. Computer, car, toaster or toothbrush.
Tell them you are busy and will need to call them back. Ask for a name, company name, phone and extension.
If they haven't hung up yet they will, or say something rude and then hang up. :-)

Between two cards, I have a grand post-Insomnia total of 63 cents.
I shaved those fuckers down to the bone this time around.

Let's see, 3 dollars...

You could get two 1.50 games....you could get Consortium since I remember seeing that for 2.99...

None of your list stuff is viable since none of it's on sale now, they're all out.

I may have a solution for you, and an easy one at that.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is supposed to be a really good game, and it's right there for 2.99!
