Double Jeopardy

Whenever I had a tough or frustrating day at school, I would turn to Diablo II. Theres nothing like disposing of evil beasts by hack and slash tactics with little to no thought involved, to relieve stress. Unfortunetly, thats why I played WAY too much Diablo II in junior and senior year. TOO MUCH STRESS! Well Im ok now, so Im taking a break. As far as online playing-it can be bad, there are a lot of people who truly enjoy causing trouble and killing the other players. So when I play online, I only play with my bro and friends, through LAN so we arent connected to the rest of the internet. When I want to play and my brother isnt around, I usually just play 1player and did item hunting for unique items. Again, a great stress reliever and got me through a lot of tough days.

I agree with this

My stress relief has been Baldur's Gate 2 (Ahh..Anomen...)

It's just nice to immerse oneself in this other world and zone out...

Hugs are good too...physical contact like that is a good stress relief.

I'm glad that the stress is better now

*hug*

LMAO...Viv you may have a future in bootlegging

I get pulled over all the time anyway, it's not like they search me or anything

I swear, all I have to do is go out after dark, and before I get home, I am on the side of the road standing on one leg and touching my nose or some other stuff.

I was once pulled over for walking believe it or not

Hee

You must look dangerous!!

(Or swerve while you drive/walk)

Well, some cops followed me around last week while I was running, but as one of them whistled, I felt pretty safe.

*big hug*

It's bed time, I must get some sleep

Sweet dreams all

Thanks!

Well, I played BG II sophomore year, I think, or maybe it was junior year, I just dont recall. Regardless I played it for a good long time and when the expansion came out, there was another 3 months of BG II gaming. I loved it and it continues to be my favorite computer game of all time.

Hugs? I hardly got those at high school. Only once by my ex-girlfriend, who I still maintain a strong friendship with, and a girl that I got a birthday present for. Thats really it. I was always the friendly quiet kid that was always willing to listen. I was never aggressive.

EDIT-Good night, Viv. Sleep well.

I thought everyone in Kentucky had a still in their backyard and made their own.

I'm at that job Which is why I keep being pulled away.

'HEATHER! DO THAT NOW!'
'Yes, oh mighty queen of the insane, I tremble before you.'

Luckily, as I'll soon be moving on, I don't care about the quality of my work right now, so I spam whenever I can.

That sounds pretty bad.

*hug*
Congrats on really hitting 3K, and on the job offers.

@Ned-The only reason I changed my avatar lately was to have some fun...

Though your games sound like fun too...

BG2 almost made me fail high school...

Hmmm...

BG almost made me fail my GCSEs
Diablo II almost made me fail my AS levels
SYM almost made me fail my A levels

BG2 made me fail, well I didn't fail anything but got fairly average scores in high school because of it.

Deus Ex slowed my post rate down tremendously. Was doing 100 a week

SYM is stopping me from doing my homework.

And Deus Ex 2 (when its released) will stop me from working at my fullest potential once again.

It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine...

I am really looking forward to it, it does look amazing.

Probably the same here - in less than a week (Thursday) I'll find out just how much of an effect SYM has had on my A-levels...oh, and whether I'll get into Uni or not

The doubts are just starting to creep in, even though I was fairly confident after the exams...I'm really quite scared, actually. Ah well, it's only my life - no pressure or anything

One doesn't have to be aggressive to get hugs...but yes I understand. It's hard sometimes. For me personally, highschool was a tough time, so I left a year early. (Got that Kam, yes a few years ago I was one of the smart kids doing post secondary option, if only my brain could work like that now I'd be the one winning jeopardy!)

It's extremely hard to know exactly what the other person is thinking, what they would like. *shrugs*

Viv

Ode: Awe, that's okay. It's a learned experience.
