Post by: gogg on June 16, 2004, 12:34:49 am

Me:

12:30pm - check PS news site, find out CB was released yesterday, bang head on wall for 10 minutes
12:40pm - play CB
  6:00pm - remember I had work at 5:30, bang head on wall, go to work
12:00am - get home and play CB into the wee hours of the morning

GMT +/- 0

0800 Wake up; turn on pc before even opening curtains as usual.
0805 Check all my usual web routine (homestar, ctrl+alt+del, white ninja, counter culture, megatokyo)
0815 Finally get around to checking Planeshift website, discover CB has been released. Proceed to punch the air and do pelvic thrusts for several minutes.
0820 Set off downloading CB. Go grab a bowl of cornflakes whilst fleetingly telling my mother (assuming it comes out in the next three months before university) that I may not see her for the next few CB dominated weeks or months.
0835 Finished downloading CB. Install.
0840 Installation finished - Run auto-update despite obvious lack of patches.
0841 Take a deep breath, adjust the position of my chair to optimum gaming position, crack my knuckles, stretch my fingers and finally double click the Planeshift icon... JUST before realizing I didn?ft set it to full screen mode. CTRL+ALT+DEL and terminate the process.
0845 Adjust settings, and try again.
0846 Recreate my character. And initialize the world.
0857 World initialized.... .... ..... ........ ....... WOAH!!!

1400 Realize I haven?ft even brushed my teeth, had a shower, or been outside... Proceed to decide I don?ft care and no potential Planeshift minute may be lost.


0500 Goes to bed with bloodshot eyes - starving and smelly... But still consumed with joyous Planeshift thoughts. Dreams about Kran.

 :D

Wow, everyone else\'s days have been all happy and cheery. Mine sux. I bet it happens too. Right after I go to bed one day, it will be released. I can feel it in my Psycho-mad brain. Or, maybe that is just Draklar, playing Heavy Metal in my head again...

Either way, my day will suck cuz of one thing: DIAL-UP!!! Everyone else will be playing before me. Hmpf. X(X(X(X(

02:00 PM - Wake up and find another useless \"Bump my posts\" thread has been made.
02:05 PM - Reply to tell them they\'re stupid for making \"Bump my posts\" threads and replying to them.
02:10 PM - Download CB and play.
04:00 AM - Sleep.

Now if you couldn\'t see the hidden sarcastic message within this post, then... yeah. Besides, this isn\'t a PlaneShift discussion. In fact, this isn\'t even a discussion. It\'s a thread that simply asks people to post something so they bump their post count and others can reply and flame them for doing something stupid. And these kinds of threads belong in the Plaza with the other useless stuff. That\'s why the Plaza was made in the first place.

Have a nice day.

Post by: faldrok on June 17, 2004, 07:26:49 am
Bah ,this is good to know more about the people you play with. Stop being so much like a party-pooper. Although, I do agree that it should be in Hydlaa(which it is now) so, go back to bed. :D

NOTE: Not to raise my post count. I hardly post at forums, but I finally found a thread I liked. :rolleyes:

Post by: josephoenix on June 23, 2004, 02:45:02 am
Hm, well the day CB comes out... I\'ll probably have overslept (if I\'m back in school then) or just slept late... then I\'ll have something that will end up occupying my entire day... Then I\'ll check my e-mail and read slashdot and most likely go to bed without even noticing that CB had come out.

Of course... the day I _discover_ cb is out (most likely I won\'t see it until the weekend)... I\'ll probably start by doing my shower/breakfast/e-mail check routine... then I\'ll check the PS website (have more time on the weekend, so I\'m able to check all 2^64 websites I read)..
Then, I\'ll proceed to give myself 30 lashes with a wet noodle. After that, I\'ll realized that I\'m covered in bits of noodle and have to take another shower. After that: get on the computer. discover that the internet connection is whacked, try to reset the router to no avail, download CB over the neighbor\'s wireless connection, and then. Finally. Get to install it... And play it... and play it... and then, when the router comes back up, open up another psclient and play both at once! One over the neighbor\'s connection, one on mine! Then my little sister (an avid planeshift-er herself) will discover that CB is out... and I\'ll lag out of the game as she downloads the client. Ah, well...

PS: Gronomist: Bah, everyone\'s just having some fun. I find it entertaining anyway.

What? I didn\'t know what they were called so I invented a name! I mean, all good villains have a cat to sit in their lap while they scheme(Dr. Claw and Dr. Evil to name a two)and I decided Tigger(my cat)would be excellent for the job. He\'s beaten up every dog and cat in the neighbourhood, been hit by a car 8 times, and can go out in winter for 3 days before having to come home.

Z3h perfict henchcat.
