I loved Myst and I loved Riven.
I'm in, too. I loved Myst. But I never could love Riven. IIRC it was 5 CDs. The first time I tried to play it I kept clicking something wrong and then riding the stupid rail from one CD to another and then back over and over. I felt more like a DJ than a gamer and finally gave up.
Too late to fix it - but I just realized this was Bureaucracy and not Hitchhiker's guide.
possibly because neither Google nor walk-throughs existed back then.
Google I'll give you - but walkthroughs existed long before Myst. I remember trying to solve the Infocom "Hitchhikers Guide" game with a friend at work during a slow month (loved getting paid for that) and we got stuck. We tried kicking the door, picking the lock, opening the door using everything we could on the door, all to no avail. We went down to the "Computerland" store and asked them if they knew what to do. They pulled out a 5.25" floppy disk, put it in one of their IBM PCs and printed a complete walkthrough on an Epson MX-80 for us.
Who would have thought we should KNOCK on the door.
That was 1989 I think.
And of course - if the "Slightly Larger Telescope" ever stops working for some reason - all you need to do is try turning it off and back on again.
cot.
No we force feed them and hold them without trail.
Well if we're force feeding them, there won't be any breadcrumbs left to leave a trail!
i dont think we can potato this much longer!
Don't you carrot all how annoying this is to most people?
No, it's not; not even clone.
I'm confused. I've never heard of the programming language 'clone' - so I can't really determine if it's like English or not. Or was the 'clone' you're referring some meme with which I'm not yet familiar?
Either way - my clone sleeps alone.
... or malls that have closed completely. But very few mall management firms would sign off on turning one of their anchor stores into a datacenter.
Wouldn't the number of firms that would turn up their nose at someone continuing to pay them rent (especially those malls that can't sustain a Sears, which are probably half empty) be far lower than those who would be grateful for the income?
This.
This was my thought as well. Instant on. I wait minutes for my Lenovo Craptop to boot. My wife's macbook air is seconds. I want seconds. Please sir, may I have some more?

What are you, a 14 year old girl?
THIS is why the ROT13 initiative is a good idea.
According to this troll's LinkedIn profile, he's a "Creator/Producer" at Nerdlocker.com. A site that reviews (and has images) of video games, movies, and comics. So - what gives Patrick?
The first time someone told me to cue the horde of grammar Nazi's queuing up for something, I think it was Q.
Hey - Let's be careful out there.
