I remember when GameStop used to sell physical copies of games. Lol. I still have my Command and Conquer games somewhere.

I had a problem accessing my Steam account because I forgot my PW and they asked me to provide them with the serial number for the first game I bought and used their service on, DOD on the halflife platform from like 1998ish.  I was like "You really expect me to still have that?"  I actually had to threaten to write the attorney general and leave bad press on tech sites to get them to give me my account back.  Side note, almost all of my games are bought by my friend because I did not have a bank account for a very long time....lol

I'm old school.  I like having a copy of the disc, just as I like paperback books and music CDs and movie DVDs.  Don't have to worry about password/account problems.  Of course, if the house ever burns down I'm in trouble ... ;>

In reply to Berta (msg # 168):

I was that way until the flood. Since I lost a major chunk of my physical copies.

Yeah, I appreciate the risk. Even with insurance, some of this stuff you just can't get anymore.  A long time out of print.  We're very unlikely to get flooded (on high ground with a good slope), but fire is definitely an issue.  Not the computer games so much (as you say, worst comes to the worst there's always Steam), but the books and DVDs.  :<

In reply to Berta (msg # 170):

I thought the same. Then the sewer backed up due to the whole system being overloaded. The water was no where near my house.

Pfft, dvds, I have hundreds of them that all fit into an area that is 4x3x.5 inches....lol.

I Don't want to call it... but Esyld has not logged in for over a month at this point. I've been hesitant to push faster due to the time of the year.

Either way, it is evident we are at a point where the roll call can easily change.
No I'm not going to out right kill her.

I'm also not going to open enrollment either.

She did mentioned she would be eXtremly busy :) I say we give her some more time :)

Well done !  Last time we discussed this Esyld magically reappeared !  I expect much the same result ...  ;>

I'm sorry everyone. After the massive snowfall that i was not able to claim as a sick day I'm bedridden. I've been fighting with this for a few days now to wake up with a 102 temp.

Did not make it to the doctor today as I've been asleep till roughly 20 min ago.
Just wanted to let you know where I'm at.

Sounds nasty.  :<

You take care of yourself and get better soon !

Today is my first day stable on my feet. Heading into work thanks to new job not having the 100 plus hours of sick time built up.

Try to update in the next day or two

Hope you are feeling better. I still miss my vacation and sick time from Lowe's.

For those who are still in the game. Go ahead and update your character. I'll begin tallying allegiance points for the last chapter. I should have everything updated by Thursday.

Yay, sorry for the delay, my daughter was in the hospital for a few days things are saner now so I am back in full capacity.

As excuses go, that's ... quite unnecessary !  Hope your daughter's doing better now.


Now I'm really hoping you're just referring to absent friends ... but I haven't read the IC posts yet, and it was looking very grim last time so fingers crossed Berta hasn't met a grisly end.  Oh, and any of you others too, of course.  :P

Hooray !  I survived !  Oh, er, and yes, at least some of you did too !  Yay !  ;>

Ugh, I always forget how to advance my skills....lol

Roll d100, if it is higher than your skill you increase the skill by +1d10
If the skill value is equal or higher to 100-Int, roll D100+Int if it is equal or higher than 100 you increase the skill by +1d10

good grief, I need to use more skills....lol

I never updated Viktor. Grey Lord has my permission. I think he likes to choose my fate. Lol

In reply to Viktor (msg # 187):

I did yours a while ago

AAAH !  Haven't done my skills either ... I knew there was something I'd forgotten !

On it now !  :>

Edit: And done !

Hello all,

Thursday morning I am flying to a family vacation until April the 7th. Since I'll be in London I am guessing I have internet connection but as this is a family vacation I am not sure how much time I'll have.
