    That's a great chat up line. Not forgetting that you can't speak properly because you've been playing priv for so long. "Greetz. Cn u hlp me wiv mi eatin prob?" I recon that would get some funny looks, and probably ensure you don't every get the chance to reproduce.

    "Learn something new every day"

    Today I leanrned that my pervious post as to the origin of the word "Hello" wasn't quite correct, Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the word hello, but it was invented as a greeting for use over the telephone, although there were several similar variants before 1883.

    Meh, I thought what's her face in Rygannon was the nicest. Probably becuase she wasn't mean to me.

    Soon you'll have difficulty co-ordinating anything other than a keyboard or mouse. I hope you're joking about all the friends going ;)

    "Hooked on Magnavox!"

    You could try getting a job doing a paper round or a milk round or something like that. With the amount I get paid though, you might have to work for quite some time.

    You know you've been playing to much privateer when...

    Yeah, its great isn't it? You need to play more games obsessivley until you've completed them, then you'll be able to have many a thrill. Dreaming about a game I've played obsessivley only happens once or twice, so great games need to continually be brought out. You also know when you've been...

    Perhaps you could just reset the post count for the spammers concerned.

    "Learn something new every day"

    Today I learned that proxy servers can do wierd and wonderful things with FTP connections. As soon as I used an internet connection without a proxy, the problem just went away, and I had no problems uploading my website.

    Fair enough. I really like it too, but I like to move on to other things. As for the buffer overflow error thing with the retros, I wonder how long it would take to kill that many retros? Too long for most I would imagine.

    Help With Navigation

    I've never had that problem. I've even found that I don't need to get all the nav maps and still everything shows up - or it could be that I bought the nav map and forgot that I did it.

    You know you've been playing to much privateer when...

    I like a bit of variation. It allows me to replay games many many many more times, as I don't just play them to death and never play them again (like have with deus ex). Surely you get bored of games eventyally and decide to play something new for a bit of a change? Or is it just me with a short...

    You get the cops on your tail? You need to think about sticking to the speed limit. You know you've been playing too much privateer when you get bored of it and play something else instead.

    "Learn something new every day"

    Today I learned that drinking up to five cups of coffee per day can make it four or five times less likely that you will get parkinsons disease.

    You know you've been playing to much privateer when...

    That would be such an awesome thing. Especially if it worked with arseholes. In the real world the closest thing to an accept button is a fist in the said person's face (not that I advocate that sort of thing). I know I have genuinely been playing a game for too long when I have dreams about...

    4 year old killed from Mission Space ride

    The thing is, while age does not nessecarily imply maturity, you have to remeber that kids of that age grow incredibly quickly, which should mean that they become stronger and therfore more capable of suriving the ride. As for the impossiblity of enforcing it, that's mainly down to the...

    4 year old killed from Mission Space ride

    Well, I don't nessecarily think that was a bad call by the parent, unless the boy really didn't want to go on the ride. He was over the height limit, and I would imagine he was probably free of all the illnesses listed on the safety notice. The fact is though, he was very young, and probably not...

    I think I'll stick to being attracted to human females ;) If the wookies had a decent fleet though, they'd probably kick some major ass. And to add to my list: You know when you've been playing too much privateer when you've been beta testing PR rather than revising for imminent exams...

    If it wasn't for PR, I wouldn't have discovered these fine forums.

    "Learn something new every day"

    Today I learned that most pop and rock records are compressed (dynamics compressions, not filesize compression) to the point where they cannot be compressed any more.
