Well, Christmas has come early at work today...development just took delivery of half a dozen 19" flat screen lcd displays! Aparrently they came with some new dell server boxes they ordered, and they decided to use them as a sweetner to Dev. Several people decided they would prefer to continue using CRTs, particularly since that meant they could

Computers and computer games are evil and addictive.
I know this. Most nights I almost forget to eat.

Sometimes when my computer breaks, or my current internet addiction stops running, I become a very happy lady..

Well, how I'm going to approach this problem can be described best with three little words:

Eject! Eject! Ejec-WHOOSH!

Don't Worry dave it will all be fine once you stop playing the normal game and get playing online.

"I ended up taking a few minutes to throw something in the oven instead of actually doing proper cooking"

When do you EVER do "proper cooking"? Just curious....

[talking_dog]

Oh Dave cooks all the Time (I normally hear the swearing).

[oneneoeno]

"Proper Cooking", adj - adv, Definition: To prepare food in a manner that requires a worrying degree of both co-ordination and effort.

Standard cooking involves the admittedly taxing challenges of placing food items in an oven, setting both the temperature (if required) and the cooking method, *and then taking them out after they have been heated for long enough*, requiring near heroic co-ordination. We shall ignore the rumours of heating items that require different cooking times by placing them in the oven at staggered intervals so that they can be removed and eaten simultaneously, since they are clearly legends unfounded in reality, such is the complexity of the co-ordination required. However, despite the startling levels of co-ordination demonstrated by even the former cooking processes, little actual effort is necessary to achieve a meal

Wow. According to this, that means I've done proper cooking before!

Yay, go me.

I hear that, to wean people off of NWN they feed you crack.

I've found that if I attempt to play NWN while Sue is in the house she manages - without, apparently, the need the speak or move in any way - to broadcast disappointment that I am not spending my time with her instead.

This has been remarkably effective in preventing my becoming a Neverholic - although I fear it may be symptomatic of another addiction...

[oneneoeno]

Clearly the solution to get get Sue playing it with you on Co-op multiplayer. Then you're feeding the addiction to NWN and spending time together! Win-win!

[smells_funny]

So now you're pushing NWN on to others in order to feed your own habit.

You're dispicable :-P
