lol many of the commentary bloggers post are silly and unrelated, over and over i ask myself whether they in actual fact read the subject material and items before placing a comment or if perhaps they just read over the title of the blog post and compose the first thing that drifts into their heads. nevertheless, it is actually relaxing to browse through clever commentary now and then instead of the same exact, old post vomit that i usually notice on the internet i’m going to enjoy a smattering of hands of facebook poker regards

I’m so very, very sorry.

It has me by the balls as well. I can’t look at anything blue without feeling the urge to type SEA OCEAN WATER WAVE TIDE SHORE BEACH BOAT SUBMARINE, and when I greet a friend, there’s a slight stutter as I force myself not to shout MAN HUMAN PERSON FATHER SON FAMILY SHOULDERS TORSO.

I’ve checked out your site and I’m really impressed by your pictures. My favourites are the Syd Mead-esque future cities, but they’re all amazing. However, this probably means that you play iSketch with a sketchpad, and you should be aware that at least half the other players are therefore seething with resentment towards you. Those easy, organic strokes! The delightful speed of composition!

Asshole.

Oh man, I remember when I was given those magic three discs with the first shareware episode on. I think I did the whole thing in one sitting too. I can’t even confirm if there were toilet breaks.

I can quite understand your balance being fucked after that first heady session; just imagine if you’d had full mouse-look back in those days. I think I would have vomited all over my computer.

talking about doom… that game gave my my first and only game-related injury..
back when the demo version was being spread out through game mags and schoolboys, i played that sucker start to end in one sitting. in a dark attic room, headphones on.. perfect setting. sometime in the deepest hours of night i finally hit the teaserscreen and switched off. next ting i know, i find myself half broken at the bottom end of the stairs.. seemed that doom’s revolutionary 3d feel thoroughly messed with my own personal feel for balance. ouch!

a few hours later, i was limping back to school. it was not a happy day (but man! what a night!)

i’m gonna set the smart example here by not clicking that link, tempting though it may be
I’m drowning in deadlines as tight as jack skellington’s underpants.. maybe later…

man that doom upgrade sure sounds tempting…..

maybe i should go out and find some pot or something.. :nohope:

I still feel pangs of nostalgia for Doom 1. A few months ago I downloaded the direct-x upgrade and hi-def texture pack mods for it, and spent a happy week reliving old memories. I don’t know why, but for me, E2M2 was always The Bitch. The theme tune was creepy and fun at the same time, and there’s something about the warehouse section that gives me the screaming willies.

Oh, memories.

Hyver, I sympathise with getting accidentally hooked on a chess program. I have an addictive personality, so I’m basically just looking for shit to get addicted to. It’s almost irrelevant what it is. Have you ever been on http://www.isketch.net ? If you’re easily addicted, avoid it like the plague.

Alternatively, we should totally play together. My username is Camerhill! I play it every night!

I think it’s time to admit that I am terrible at giving up computer games.

I carry Doom I & II around on a usb drive so I can shoot-up… uh, I mean play anywhere anywhen I want.

Still recovering from a chemical addiction, video games are my methadone… if I ever find the gumption to shake that digital monkey off my back, I’m sure your words of inspiration will be a useful guide.
