Reminds me of a handle to a fridge door at my workplace that's been missing for several months.
This fridge keeps all the meat and stuff in it, and without the handle the fridge can't be sealed.

:/  My mother just called me.  Bad news about my brother. :[  Very bad.

Not sure how to feel.  :{

Every time I see your signature, I try and think of how I can use that post to lead to the death of dwarves.

It has lead to entertaining thoughts...

I think I've had that disclaimer in my signature...ever since the change to SMF really.  Might very well be one of the oldest sig lines on this forum not counting people who don't post anymore.

I have changed stuff under it from time to time though.   Like now.

Well it really depends.  Not knowing how to feel is kind of a feeling too.  Not everything fits into sad, happy, angry, or terrified.  (did I miss a thread in there somewhere?)

Well he had a hard break up and hung himself.  The police called my mum and she called me.  He's hurt himself before, but I hadn't talked to him in a bit, and indeed he was talking about his awesome new life in Boston.

I feel like I expected this, but that doesn't make it feel any better.  Im kinda more worried about how my mother is taking it and how Im going to get a job.

I gotta love that design philosophy of that game I am playing.

Uhhh UFO: Aftermath

It starts off pretty fun and some enemies who pop up are a lot stronger then they have any right to be. Yet that is fine and soon you adapt.

Yet then enemies who always hit with Area of effects start showing up, but you kill them too... Then of course they mass you with these enemies in huge squads, give them tons of health and armor, and you are always less equipped to handle them.

It kind of feels cheap in the end. Not sure how I am going to beat the game at this rate.

[Greiger]

Well, that really sucks.  It depends on how well you got along with your brother but it seems like it would be devastating in almost any case.

I've always been taught that all we can do is carry on, but it's probably different saying it than actually doing it.  I've been fortunate and haven't experienced a really close loss like that in my adult years, so I'm probably not an expert on the subject.  All I think I can do is spout the cliche stuff everybody always hears.

All I can really say is I hope everything ends up reasonably well in the end, probably won't be the same but some things are out of our control.

Oh man. Sorry about your loss.

World of warcraft taught me to type.

Warcraft III was the game for me. Miss that game.

I would say that WoW was the game where I first started to make typos, which I have become so known for on the irc channel.

[Neonivek]

Truthfully... it was StarCraft that sort of taught me to type xD

[Sergarr]

I learned how to type by trying to enter cheat codes faster in multiple different games. Not sure how to feel about it.

[Frumple]

If it worked, it worked. No need for much consideration beyond that.

Pepperoni pizza, quarry, coinage, woodstock, bigdaddy, flying Dutchman, e=mc2 trooper.


Also command prompt adventure games. "Hugo's House of Horrors" was the series I grew up with. Typing "Shoot elephant with blow dart" as quickly as you could was good practice.

You know, I'm not even sure where I learnt to type. I know the earliest website I really frequented was Neopets (and various Flash games, I think), so it was probably naming my critters and participating in those god-awful roleplays I was into on the forums that I first started to learn to type. >.> (Edit: that sentence looks terribly unwieldy but I can't be bothered fixing it. Bah.)
But then, I could be forgetting some earlier experience with typing, who knows.

I know my mother had some weird maths game for me on the computer that I was forced to play, where you had to quickly type in answers to equations to shoot down a bunch of green aliens advancing down a blue background, space invaders-style. Not exactly typing words, but I guess it probably helped me scramble frantically between keys. ...Maybe I should get back into that game, I'm awful at math these days.
I think it was called Maths Invaders or something.

I learned that all of my childhood games are on steam. On Steam!

Friggen Putt-putt, yo!
