When I was younger and a lot more nimble I used to enjoy getting locked out. My crowning achievement was using garden twine to lassoo tools through the catflap and unscrewing/jacking up the extension roof. I also used to simply shin up the front of the building. *sigh* funny how when you look back you realise you were awesome. And drunk.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree Fair enough.

You and I both know that there's a difference between passive movie watching and operant behaviour.

Sorrry about being absent. i am following, but I'm a bit overloaded.

No I'm not gonna turn down the heat, I'll express myself how I feel and what I think and if you have a problem with it, since you're the moderator, ban me. I'm not going to ban you. I am going to express myself with the same rights you have. I don't think it's cool to get quite so aggressive over sports. Simple.

Happy Birthday! (This IS a thread for random birthdayness)

I disagree. If violent games were truly realistic you'd spend the next five years in freaking therapy.

Ouch.

Hey, man. Turn down the heat a little. It's not cool to dance like that. And certainly not when you aren't wearing pants.

Now I'm confused. I'm not talking about a computer black box which magically creates cool stories. 1) I'm talking about a set of creative mind tools for making creativity more efficient. Something like the Standard Solutions in TRIZ. 2) A black box would be neat for handling the less than genius bits of an RPG, like the maps, and bad guy fights.

I hope, btw, that I'm not giving the impression Croatia didn't do a top job to beat us. in fact it really proves my point. You can have al the sports physicians and money in the World. But if your heart's not in it, and if you're being undermined (see Tigranes) then you're asking to get beaten.

I wonder what would happen if you said that in a pub full of fellow Pommy football fans. I'd have to explain fast. As I say I'm sick of us just bimbling along without really doing well, hanging on by our fingernails. I'm hoping that this will spur a complete reqork of our approach to football. If I were in teh pub I'd bang on about patriotism, a-holes at the FA, and how the fans are always getting shafted for profit. hopefully insteda of me getting beaten up we'd go straight out and burn down FA headquarters.

Woah! Jeebus! Willya calm down? I don't think I've seen such an impassioned rant. Did we really refuse to shake hands? That sounds rather odd to say the least. Anyway, I guess we lost tonight, so I got my 'wish'.

I've long been of the opinion that games aren't realistic enough in that 1) Violence doesn't look gruesome enough. 2) Ridiculously large bonuses accrue with violence. In reality the results of violence are both repellent to the point of nausea and psychological scarring, and don't pay very well if at all.

Happy Birthday, you whoever you are.

But for Pete's sake, how often does it happen? Does it really need its own law? If it did then such a law would certainly cover all bullying leading to suicide. That's going to get pretty busy.

I got carried away making my new tiefling bard. Curse you Obsidian! (She's far too cute)

ramza, indeed. That should be interesting. We'll see how it goes, and also how non-combat goes. I think I may be going to become a sort of roving reporter in the LA Confidential style. Or possibly a cop. Not really sure what I can get away with.

Would some please oblige me by having a dicussion about a fantasy comic so I can kill some catgirls?

Interesting analysis, Tigger. You mind if I ask if it's your own?

Inspired by this thread I have started a NWN2 persistent world character who is a bard. And just to make certain I'm not even a very good one I am a Tiefling with a -2 cha starter. It's been roleplaying fun so far, but I must say next to a wizard I look pretty pokey.

No, but it did have Wesley which is twice as bad, until the last season when he stop being such a wus. I was about to do a spoiler there. In any event _I_ have all the buffy and angel. I win. At everything. Muhuh- MUHAHAHAHAHA!

Maybe it's more to do with the fact that you don't notice them doing any good. I mean a warlock stands there blasting things. But the songster?

Does Angel have a large black man wearing eye shadow?
