Because we don't know how buggy and faulty and degenerated it is when we buy it

That's true
And what's the worst, the developers hardly ever make any patches to the game, and even if they do, those patches either doesn't fix what they are supposed, change something badly, or they bring out new bugs which need to be fixed...

Oh, how much I would like to return to the days of Doom when there wasn't nay sign of bugs in the games...
(or, if there were bugs, then the game usually disappeared quite fast from the shelves of stores...)

Try Kipi instead then, he is still awake. Besides, you only say that because Georgi isn't around anymore

Hah, that won't be easy

:laugh:

Well, it makes me and Mahar mr and mrs Eukaryotes...

Yes, I think you're already heading into historical time!

[Kipi]

So you do want us to think Xan is a more developed organism than he actually is?

Isn't that impossible??

I was always thinking Xan is something far over the limits...

[Dottie]

Works for me. At the very least, the embarassment some cultures feel towards public nudity would yield a few choice minutes of merriment.

I thought you would appreciate it. You have always been a little provocateur. In a good way naturally.

Glad you didn't post Prokrustes, CE, which is the way I read that, at first. I'd hate to be on a bed prepared by that man.

If you were him you would be about your own size, so I wouldn't worry to much.

Oh, horrible thought, no - that's the kind of story I used to think about as a small kid, when I was lying awake late at night, pondering why humanity is so cruel.

Exactly. So - no more computer games is my conclusion

I was always thinking Xan is something far over the limits...

He is - question is, limits in which direction?

[Kipi]

Exactly. So - no more computer games is my conclusion

But the problems are:
1) I don't have console
2) As I tend to prefer RPGs, those are IMO much easier to play with computer
3) I can take my laptop with me almost everywhere, but can the same thing be said about consoles??

He is - question is, limits in which direction?

Well, that's something everybody can decide on their own little (or big) minds

I don't have console either and it wouldn't be very convenient to drag around I think, so for me the conclusion no computer games actually means no games Maybe I should take up knitting or something

Well, that's something everybody can decide on their own little (or big) minds

According to the phylogenesis fitting we've done so far, I think Xandax should be a vertabrate, possible actually a mammal. (He is a bit hairy, isn't he? There is a tendency for some hair-like stuff on his head at least. Or maybe that's just mould. )

I try to do my bit, however modest. Thank you.

If you were him you would be about your own size, so I wouldn't worry to much.

Well, true, but he did bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "one size fits all."

Exactly. So - no more computer games is my conclusion

I find myself having games loaded on my computer that I almost never play. Even when I make time, I usually end up reading, or exercising, or finding tasks to accomplish. I perhaps play 2-3 hours a week, these days. I suppose my head identifies relaxation with other modes of activity.

Nay, I heard blackmail mentioned. If I could Blackmail the blackmailer AND the blackmailed, I stand to make more than a few pretty pennies. Soon Ill be dropping Hamiltons like Aaron Burr.

As to the hair like substance on his head, I have observed that he covers his body in Mayonaise, and bakes in the sun for hours until the little hairs begin to sprout.

[Dottie]

Well, true, but he did bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "one size fits all."

Yes, though to his defence you must say that his size ended up fitting for all, unlike the contemporary meaning.

So you end up smarter and fitter. Why the sad face?

[fable]

And you told me your English wasn't good. Pish tush!

What sad face? Oh--that was from the quote in CE's post, not mine.

[Dottie]

And you told me your English wasn't good. Pish tush!

I use the Google spellcheck. I wait eagerly for something similar for grammar.

Unless you're sarcastic - then read it " ".

All shall be revealed :devil:

And I thought you were showing some empathy for my difficult situation *sob*

Must sleep now, a genetic analysis other than Xan's is waiting for me tomorrow...night, all!

[Ravager]

Anyways, the demotion of Ravager and LA. is a matter between them and Buck

Apparently, no, it's not....and to state the obvious, I'm none too happy I haven't been provided any clarification whatsoever as to why I was demoted.
As I said, I haven't broken a single rule...or at the very least, not one that anyone cared to tell me about.

No, not sarcastic. But when you wrote, Yes, though to his defence you must say that his size ended up fitting for all, I took you to be making a play on the word, "fitting." Fitting, as in fitting everyone to the size of his bed, and fitting, meaning appropriate.

Night, CE.

Aha, yes you were correct. The swedish word for "fitting" have the same two meanings, so it's not that impressive.

[Dragon Reborn]

rav! you made your post invisible! Amazing!

[fable]

I shall have to refrain from judgement until we meet again. Then I'll bring trained scholars, grammarians, vocabularians, and Lilliputians, all skilled in evaluating your English and more than willing to share.

[Ravager]

rav! you made your post invisible! Amazing!

Your post too! It's amazing!

[Dottie]

I prefer my english to remain unjudged, if you don't mind terribly. It wont stop me from trying to meet you again though, so I guess it's not really up to me.

Besides, wouldn't an author be a good person to make that kind of judgement as well?
