woke up to five pages... whew
At least there was lots of...
talk about games I haven't played...
Well I have to fit you scamps and my daily renders in before work somehow
We appreciate your level of dedication.
May I remind you hunni pie that all this started as your milkshake was bringing all the boys to the yard that was followed by the hefting of your bewbs.
I absolutely adore you but I do believe you are telling a fib when you claim innocence.
*is adorable!*
*preens!*
I was only dancing tho. Perfectly innocently.
*sage nods*
I'm... gonna stay out of this one. I'll just be... over there.
Ah but I didn't say what I was innocent of tho! Charges of arson, probs.
Technically correct is best correct?
*has read them - and still thinks she's horrid!*
In other news, I came third in the best writer thingy!
Not bad considering the size of the player base for H5. Not bad at all. Thankees for those that voted for me
3/10's of a game from a newb vs two of the most pop devs with completed games under their belts. Yeah...I did alright!
You were robbed! I demand a recount!
Question!
On your cannon run (as I know you scamps will have tried to do everything...) how many of you took Chris' bet re Kelly? *is curious!*
*Poofs*
Actually, yeah. I approached it as LT doesn't know anything about who it is... and is trying to build some camaraderie with this new group of people he's been thrown in with. Also, at that point was leaving my options open - have a date sometime in the week for drinks, another for VR games and, of course, the fight.
I have a story. I'm from Sweden and did 15 months conscription service. When you do the aptitude test to determine your placement I got pretty meh results so I couldn't get into the "good" places like Stockholm et c so they sent me to this place called Boden (I encourage you to check it out on a map). If you've ever been to bumfuck nowhere, that's where Boden is. The purpose of this place is to have a base for "winter excercises" to ensure vehicles and equipment are thoroughly tested in arctic climate. I didn't know this at the time and hadn't been very far north.
Boy was I in for a surprise. The training started in January, and on my second day it was the coldest day of some years. -37 C. We did outdoor marching, because that's what what the planning said. And if you know anything about military affairs, you know that nobody will ever think to change any training plan for "humane" reasons. You need so much clothes that you look like a penguin to go outside in that kind of weather and you have to stop like every kilometer or so and check for white spots in your buddys' faces so nobody gets frostbitten. You can't walk very fast either, or you risk frostbite in your lungs. To ensure that your nose does not freeze you breathe in with your mouth and out through your nose. It must have been a helluva sights. ~30 or so green penguins waddling along in barely synchronised waddle.
I don't think many people saw us though, because there is no school or work when it gets that cold and cars barely start.
Anyway, did you know that Hell in the nordic mythology is not fire and brimstone, but instead fucking cold? I totally understand why that is now.
My basic training was in Texas, with 2 weeks in White Sands, New Mexico in the summer. Saw 126°F (52.2°C) in the shade while out there. It was horrid.
Lived in Alaska, spent a year in Fairbanks - saw temps of -60°F (-51°C) - it doesn't matter how many layers you put on, it just plain hurts. But, why no wool face-masks to protect your cheeks/lungs?
Seems to me people react strangely to the in-game results of their actions. Because it's a game, they expect their character to get away with most everything... Well, tough! Bad shit happens when you do stupid, irresponsible things. They have to learn that actions have consequences.
...
I think that's one of those things that come from playing too many games with no consequences. Notty's gonna set 'em straight, you'll see.
