A bit of both? And I guess chemistry between people is important too. Especially if the good people are the kind of "good" that helps the others to unlock their potential.

After working in a press office, I'd say never trust a journalist

Nope. Last hot person to send me a random invite was a scammer on linkedin who wanted to make a "business proposal"

I need to learn not to accept random facebook friend invites. Guy from Brazil spammed me with car adverts. Woman from Greece asking me if I am married...

I haven't been there either. The prospect scares me, since I the reactions from "hardcore rpgers" I have seen was one that would get on my nerves.

When you think it can't get worse, there is always the Youtube comment section

I don't think I'll ever venture near a Numenera forum. I had enough "A billion years? That is not possible! Monte knows nothing." from a real life aquaintance.

That's why I don't watch that kind of movies

Seems I have experienced some wierd glitch then. *shrug* It's tech stuff. There are bound to be things going wrong for me. I got magical aptitude in the arcanum sense. Ring the door bell and in the flat the light bulb dies. The other night I was walking down the street and ever time I passed under a street light the light would flicker until I was a few steps away again. But my magic is dying.... when it was strong I would look at a friend's monitor and windows would crash. Ah those were the days.

Update: Today I figured out that clicking "like" on another person's post is not a kindness but instead an act of trolling. A "liked" post can no longer be edited. This is probably done to prevent people from having the object of their liking changed to something they would not like at all. The real world application of this though is far more sinister: by "liking" posts, the likers prevent the poster from correcting spelling mistakes and typos, preserving them for posterity. So next time one of your posts is "liked", be not too hasty in thinking there are kindred souls on the internet. Chances are you had made a typo and are now victim to a gang of typo-preservists.

Indeed, WHFRPG can benefit a lot from house-rules. Of course most systems do, but being more obscure seems to keep people from rules-lawyering as much as I have seen them do with D&D. Then again, I have come to prefer to play with players who have never even seen the rulebook

Decided yesterday to finanly get started on Hamlet.

Today I accidentaly viewed LadyCrimson's profile. I clicked the mouse button, yet apparently the mouse cursor was not exactly on "what are you playing now?", hovering a bit lower of the topic creator instead. If I can't hit my target on a static forum, I gues I dont have to wonder why I am pants at shooters.

Indeed Only tried Back in Action and wasn't too convinced (though I hear the old ones were the good ones). I am more an UFO: Enemy Unknown kinda guy.

I backed them as well. And I expect fewer (or no) nasty surprises from them

Picked up my Age of Wonders playthrough again. Finished the dwarven chapter, now on to the elves and the valley of wonders.

The lab was better hidden than any Illuminati secret facility. Drive to hospital: 10 minutes. Drive back from hospital: 10 minutes Fill out the donor form and talk with doctor: 3 minute Donate blood: 5-10 minutes Find the bloody place after reaching the hospital: 30 minutes Goes to show how little people donate blood over here...

Went and donated blood.

They were probably too busy shooting each other in Unreal Torment to notice the mistake...

See, I don't know your older brother, so his 50th birthday didn't affect me at all What usually affects me is walking through areas I used to pass through very often in the past and no longer do. Especially when someone walks past you and you realize that you have walked past this person before years ago...

Eh, had that wierd moment when Heath Ledger died and I realized he was only a couple of months older than I.

I don't think I ever made it off Tortage

Do they have a dedicated writer, or does the writer also program? (on smaller teams people become multidisciplinary) For SRR they seem to have a dedicated writer. Or at least the writer is not a progammer. As far as I know Jordan does not code, he does the writing and has managerial duties, but no programming ones?
