Norfleet is a pure unsentimental boob. Really, everyone would be better off if they ignored him, and it would save a lot of bandwidth.

Damn you, Condors! Now look what you've done! You've started a riot by pushing one of my rant buttons!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sure, feel free to sign in, if you want to join the upcoming marathon.

And hey, I'm not purely unsentimental. I'm actually rather partial to things like like fire, and burning, and people being horribly and gruesomely killed. But I try not to let that interfere with anything.

Alas gone are the days where I could give up so much time to an endevor such as this. Honestly I can't even see myself wanting to give up that much time in a single block for a game, but even if I did want to, I still couldn't...

Maybe during the summer I could do it, but frigging dial up only at home usually causes enough pains in the @#$# for me to give up on trying anything like this before I start http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Whaaa? You don't think this is the BEST GAME YOU'VE EVER PLAYED?!? Surely that can't be what you mean, that would be outright blasphemy. You wouldn't even want to dedicate a huge block of time for such a clearly awesome game? Just goes to show what I've been saying about people and shortened attention span these days. In about 20 years, the only things that'll sell will be Quake XVI clones. Bah!

I very much hope to be happily dead by the time things get that bad.

As to 20hour (or longer) time blocks... well those for me simply don't exist anymore, and its nothing to do with my attention span, more to do with the other things in life that are more important (blasphemy! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) to me than any computer game ever will be. Hey I used to easilly give up weekends for nonstop D&D or board gaming (is my age showing? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) but those days are past, fondly remembered, and maybe relived later on, but for right now... yeah, I don't want them back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No, it's not. I'm absolutely certain I'm older than you are. It's just that I realized early on the annoyance and aggravation of being permanently hogtied to somebody else, and have elected to pursue my own path. I find it quite liberating. After all, they say a man doesn't know what true happiness is until he's married....and then it's too late!

Remember: You're only young once, but you're never too old to be immature.
