Age is a state of mind, but I'm out of my mind at the moment so I can't check which state it's in. The calendar says I'll be 20 in six months-- something else for me to not cope with. Just who the H E double-hockey- sticks ever said that computer games are for kids? Just ask my dad, he's fifty and just as immature as any kid I know. I love playing XDoom, I changed all the shaved gorillas into Barneys, what fun! The look on my five-year-old cousin's face when I tear into a the Purple Bastard with my chainsaw is just precious! Is it just me, or is that hissing sound unfitting for the cacodaemons? Why someone would want to spend thousands on machine so they can play games that are nothing more than steroid-crazed rehashes of Duke is beyond me. Damnit, they're too real anyway, gives me nightmares. 30-foot tall mechdaemons indeed. Whatever happened to the good ol' days when we ran around shooting Nazis and listened to those awesome sound effects on the internal speaker? Which reminds me, I need to fix my Adlib card and my 5.25" floppy drive so I can get Lemmings reinstalled. Now if you'll excuse me, I seem to be out of Jolt Cola and Dr. Pepper. Haze, who's looking for a new Nintendo light gun. -- Knowledge is the perception of truth distorted by reality To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
