I have done this more than once and had to remind myself, "Oh yeah, that was in the game and this is real life."

MacDee Adept Boomer Registered: 06/06/99 Posts: 14887 Loc: Battle Creek, Michigan	What a great thread this is.... I can relate to that APL. I heard some music on TV the other day and I still can't remember what game it's from. I think maybe the 2nd floor of Shivers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> Good idea OZ. Maybe when it scrolls off the page we could move it to the archives. <img border="0" alt="[winky]" title="" src="graemlins/winky.gif" /> ~Dee

Yapette Settled Boomer Registered: 06/16/02 Posts: 241	When you read the word "game," you assume it's for computers (not console or board or card). When you read a game title that's unfamiliar, you immediately google for reviews - hoping it's an adventure that you've (somehow) missed.

Gameman007 Settled Boomer Registered: 02/19/01 Posts: 904 Loc: Ardsley, NY, USA	You know you're playing too amny av. games when you fing yourself looking on the ground carfully where ever you go lookng for things that may be usefull later on, even a gum wrapper or dog tag and hearing a voice in your head saying (I don't think that will be useful or necessary). All the gaming best to all!!!, Bill _________________________ Would the oceans be deeper if there weren't any sponges? If the world didn't suck would we all fall off?

Something might be under there!" When you start cleaning out a closet and think of it as an adventure When you find something in that closet that reminds you of something in another room so you go see if it works....and don't finish your closet! _________________________ Banana phone!
