does the mark turn all accordian and then stroll away? Okay, here's a question for you. How the hell do you distract the hoods in the first mission without them seeing you? I've never been able to do that.

Now that was funny.

Well, the hotties on the mod squad gave me the incentive to go crawling back to them!

hahahaha Silly, silly, silly But funny.

I think the one that got me hooked was probably the arcade Space Invaders machine. My former brother in law worked on arcade games and we had one at his house that was rigged for unlimited play. Ah, the '70s really sucked. The game that convinced me that we needed to have some sort of gaming system, however, was Adventure on the Atari 2600. We had Pong, but that just wasn't a deciding factor.

Awesome, numbers. Should I

Well, I'm in an extremely irritating mission right now where I have to grab a brief-case, murder three people, and save some politician.

Funny you should say that. My wife is actually quite fond of some of my friends and this particular one especially. In fact, this one looks a lot like my wife did when she was younger.

I finished New Life earlier. I spooked the place and found all sorts of things to do. However, I still ended up killing everyone I met. No witnesses, but I managed to get caught on camera. Ugh. Like I said, however, I'm mostly interested in getting through on normal and then starting a new game. I'll go to expert and try to get through without killing any unecessary targets.

Ah, but I won't cheat on my wife. ...Or maybe the fictional Eldar won't. After all, you never know if this is just a ruse on my part. I could be laughing at all of you. bwahahahah ...Or I wish it were a clever ruse. You never know.

I was thinking of On the lighter side, my wife hates this game. She calls it my mafia shooting game. She thought she hated FEAR until I said I was playing "Hitman." hahaha I think she's thinking of ways of murdering me.

Yeah, but I don't mind forgiving in a game. I like a challenge, but I'm not normally for bragging rights. On the other hand, I think there are some really cool ideas that make Blood Money stand out for replay. I noticed tons of stuff I could have done to knock off some of those people. Hell, I noticed some things that probably would have let me knock off the targets and folks would only realize they'd been assassinated after conducting an autopsy. Hell, that syringe and bomb had some great uses I found. Unfortunately, I didn't really find out about those uses until I'd basically shot down everyone in the place. What I think is incredible is that you could go through with very minimal kills. For example, on the flatline mission, I think I could get through without actually killing anyone. I'm not sure that would work, but I'm going to give it a try on my next run. I'd like to keep the number of murders down. Mostly because it fits the profile of a silent killer. Running through the place shooting everything that moves is not an example of a stealthy kill.

There was. Apparently, I still had stuff to do. I thought that part was optional. I figured out alternate ways to finish the missions, but I decided to gun and run this time around. What's funny is that I still haven't been ID'd. I have managed to get some noteriety, however. This was especially true on the **** sandwhich Curtain mission. However, that was only 22 and I got a 15 for the Flatline mission. Normal is definitely easy for this game. For some reason, I thought it was going to be ridiculously hard. Hell, Far Cry is harder. Of course, Far Cry is on my laptop, which makes everything harder.

No. You were my altar ego. Everyone else was a figment.

I'll replay the whole thing, but I'm a bit irritated. I've got the

hahaha Pixies has always been schizo. That, and I think he secretly laughs at all of us. We're like puppets. I just hope we're not like finger puppets.

I just noticed. I finally cleared it. Damned things are too small.

Great. What a jerk. Okay. Hmmm. Once there was a swinehearted little wretch who received more reports from the sagelike Eldar than any other person on the board. Someone who probably received more reports from the munificent Eldar than any two poster monkeys combined. This little creep was such a yutz, he thought the Saintly Eldar's report was about himself (Duh, all my reports are about me, doofus) but what he didn't realize is that, no matter what His Awesome Eldarness said about his own life, the report was all about young PIs looking to score. It was about Baleys and Kirottus and Calaxes and Atreides and Gorths and Moths and men and... It was all about the rule of three and ellipses... I like ellipses... MMMM RULE OF THREE

Okay, I deleted my last report, which I did expressly for Pixies. Now I

I'm currently on the mission where you have to kill some fellow and then bring him back to life. I think I'll just go through the missions on normal and then bump up to expert. Master is probably a distant dream at this point. The first two missions, I left no witnesses, although I pretty much mowed down everyone in the first mission because I mistakenly thought that I had to take out the guards on the crosswalk area of the warehouse. In the Latin American one, I basically did away with most folks. Left no witnesses and only managed a talented marksman. I'm sure there are at least a couple levels higher on the shooter side of things. The Curtain one was a cluster ****. I mean, I did all sorts of stupid stuff. I changed clothes by accident. Used the wrong weapons by accident. etc. Still, I'm too lazy to save and reload, so I just went ahead and climbed to the top of the scaffold ovelooking the stage and did away with the actor. Then I ran down the ladder and realized I should have stayed up on the stage. Of course, I should have brought my sniper rifle so I wouldn't have to kill every blessed person with the damned pistol or stolen gear.

I've noticed some of my posts missing. One of them, I deleted myself. The others, however, were mod-bait. I doubt I would have argued over the posts in question, but I do think it's courteous to let folks know when you bring down the ax. At least, I always mentioned it to the person in question. However, folks can be real jerks about their posts. I mean, if a chic is showing sufficient skin, the post will probably the chop. If you call someone a 'tard, your post is probably going to get the chop. If you use a lot of profanity, your post is probably gong to get the chop.

:Eldar's considering drawing down and shooting up the thread but reconsiders and eats some breakfast instead icon:

Join Toastmasters. I've never had a problem speaking in front of folks myself, but I know folks who've joined the group and it has helped their speaking considerably.

I'm onto you Eldar ... you will just build a new computer for yourself, and recycle the one you have now for your wife ... and take all the credit from her for spoiling her with a "super" computer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is so true it's uncanny.

I'm currently downloading this title Direct2Drive. It's a pain because it's so big, but at least I have a fast connection.
