It's OK I've been a forum polygamist I'm here Infamous Adventures, I tend to consider myself AGDI's Caves of Narshe representative bringing whatever news I find there to here though I've slowed with that and I post at exploding rabbit. So I've been bad bad bad when it comes to forums. :rollin

ARGH!

Ok, I've had an awful cold all week. I've called out of work. And when I'm sick, first of all, I have no desire to deal with people.

So, one of my really good friends (who knows that I don't like to deal with people when I'm sick) texts me this morning at 8 am. First of all, if I'm awake that early it's because I'm at work. So don't freaking text me at 8 am. Secondly, don't text me a second time a half an hour later when I don't answer. So I tell him I'm sick, right? "Oh, what's wrong?" I tell him my symptoms, which include having no voice.

.....he proceeds to CALL ME. CALL ME! So I have to talk? Are you a few brain cells short of a rock here? Seriously?

So, I ignore the call. Obviously. And I text him "I HAVE NO VOICE. I'm not talking." And he goes "I just wanted to know if you were going clubbing tonight."
.................................................................................................................................../facepalm

PS LP, what other forum are you posting on? I post over at TSL a lot. Really, I'm cheating on them with AGDI. But it's okay, right? You guys don't mind being the other woman? :P
But I don't think I've ever tried posting on like a.... a big forum on a regular basis!

Your friend is a moron. There is nothing else to it haha.
Sucks about being sick though. I'm so glad that I rarely get ill. I hope you get better soon.

I've been following a webcomic called MSPaint Adventures for a few years now and just signed up to their forums. I was thinking about going to Cracked.com or the Escapist, but they're WAY too big. Nobody even reads other people's posts there, they just post to get their count up. Seems to defeat the purpose of it all to me.
Anyway, I've been posting a lot of fan art there. The crowd seems pretty cool, there's a few people who seem to insist on sucking the fun out of everything (seriously, they throw fits if people start joking around) but for the most part it's pretty chill. I'm not crazy into it, but it gives me something to read between essays and digital 'art' projects, haha.

But you know, it's not serious baby, not like what we have. What we have is special, MSPA is just..is just some tail on the side. It's not love, not like ours!

Someone almost creamed the back of our car at a stop light intersection. Guy wasn't watching. Ended up swerving and stopping right beside us. If he hadn't have steered away he would have collided with the back of our car where our kids and my guitar/amp was.

This year's regional elections are the stupidest I've ever seen. One party published a flash game where they bombard illegal immigrants, another party made a spot in which a woman had an orgasm while depositing the vote for that party in the urn, another one made a porn campaign video, and there's a party that has suggested to launch a spanish's ham to mars if they win.

The most crazy news I've seen, however, is from the current ruling party, who has been found to fake the public in one event with giant photographs of happy people clapping hands!

DJing is not as easy as it looks, in case anyone was wondering. Have got a pair of Pioneer CDJ-400s and a Numark DXM-09 mixer. Been practicing on and off when I've got a spare moment and might soon be ready to try and record a mix and whack it up on Soundcloud or somewhere similar.

Playing a night out somewhere will be a different kettle of fish, altogether.

Downloaded the demo of Mystic Mines, but it doesn't work on my computer. I liked how it looked. :(

Well I'm in love with a woman at my church and trying to change myself for her. What do y'all think can love really change a person?

Not as drastically as you'd think, or Hollywood would have you believe. I love my wife to death....but I'm still more or less the same person I was. And she's the same person she was. We love each other and wanted to change everything but that's just not possible. At the end of the day you are who you are. I think it's more to do with the fact that a special someone brings out the best in you and smooths out the rough edges. But nobody really changes.

Whoa, all the changes caught me off guard! But they look really nice.


Also: I think changing yourself to better suit someone else is essentially lying to them to gain their affection.
Either they accept you for who you are or they're really not worth going after.
In my opinion.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with new year's resolutions, and becoming a better person seems like a good goal to pursuit. :)

About pretending being someone you aren't, I've seen a lot of cases where you end altering your personality permanently if you do that for a long time. The most obvious case happens with actors such as Bela Lugosi, who ended believing he was Dracula. Maybe delusions can be put on good use, if you choose a really good role model? ô_ò?

Well I plan to eventually tell her about my past. But it will stay in the past. But I just love her. She is beautiful,nice but kind of quiet and I've actually knew her since we were children. She just never knew about some of the stuff I've been into through out the years. Because we would come in and out of contact a lot of the time. But I've liked her ever since she tried to help a friend of mine that was stuck on drugs by taking him to church. Unfortunately he never changed. But now she's started going to church again and now is my chance. But I have to be patient cause she said she's waiting to get her life in order before she starts dating.

As anybody who has played Maniac Mansion and emptied the pool that was cooling the nuclear reactor, I'm officially worried about the news about the pool that was cooling the Fukushima plant at Japan becoming empty. :eek

I'm looking for a couple old arcade game titles. Unfortunately, I don't know who made them or even a part of the title.

Anyway, one of the titles was a side-scrolling fighting game. What was unique about it was that you'd occasionally defeat characters who would say, "I will help you." Then your character would get to take on that character's form. That's all I know about it unfortunately.

Next, was a light gun game. This one you play as police and I only managed to get through the first level. This level was a grocery store robbery that spans into the subway and finally into a warehouse with a mini gun toting boss.

Finally, there was a game that I saw where the character's primary capability was to breathe fireballs. This looked to be set in medieval times and it was a side scroller.

I know I'm not giving much but I'd appreciate any suggestions you have.

I'd like to say I know I haven't been active here for a while and I don't know how many of y'all are active anymore. But whether I have been in the wrong or right y'all have always made me feel welcomed here. I've got much court ordered counseling since my court drama last year and I've been thinking about starting hormone treatments meaning things didn't work out with that girl. But I think I've found a woman who accepts me for who I am which I find very comforting. But I just want to say I love y'all and I thought this Beatles song could tell y'all what I think about AGDI.

That's terrific news! Happy birthday, by the way!

It cannot ever be said that adventure game internet forums do not attract some interesting characters. Over the years you have added a touch of a little something special to the forum, so thank you.
