I wouldn't mind playing AoE.

If you could play Americans.
And you didn't have to collect resources.
And if rushing wasn't a valid tactic.
If it cost about $10.

oh wait...nevermind. Looks like RTS games pretty much just suck. :p

This cartoon summarizes my feelings on AoE III

Microsoft-like tours.

the home cities suck. the game is too easy anyway, let alone with having stuff sent to you. Not to mention the way it was advertised, you can explore your city. No you can't. It's a screen with a picture on, and your 'upgrade card thingys' at the bottom. oooh. the excitement.

Civ 4 is coming out monday I believe... I have to resist, I have three exams the following two weeks, and I wanna pass them.

Hehe Arathorn...puny feel, you cannot resist! Then again, even I managed to delay buying HL2 for 4-5 days because of an upcoming series of exams. So it can be done. And I'm pretty sure you're a better student than I am/was.

I tried it with San Andreas... and succumbed days before my last exam.

Hehehe...weak, I tell you!! Nah, because tbh: I still bought HL2 in the middle of my exams, just in a relatively easy part of them. (like I mentioned) Hehe. We're all suckas for games...like I really need to get to translating some text (for money) of 35 pages, but I wanna play games instead. It sucks.

What text is it you are translating?

"How to red teh 1337 pr0n" by Dorkus Belgiumus.

lol. I wish I could make a living translating 1337speak..alas, it's 2 medical case studies. About a correlation between imagined illness and actual illness. How the former influences the latter.

psychosomatic disorders and their effect on people?

I can write a fake paper on it, if you want. Just pass it off as the real thing. Or are you translating into Belgian?

Hehe, it's English-Dutch yeah...it's a little job I took a week ago..;guy called yesterday to ask how it was going, I was like "erh...I did a good part of this text and blabla, should be ready by next week'. Of course, I didn't do shit yet, and i'll probably end up doing it in 2 days before the deadline. I hate being a genius, I wish I was dumb and HAD to do it two weeks up front...now I just postpone stuff.


As for faking papers...thanks, but I'd do that myself methinks. Not that I distrust your 1337 skillz, but I've sharpened my fraudulence skills so well over the past 4 years that prefer doing that myself. My thesis (and the result) is a running gag at uni, I discovered yesterday. I think most of them are torn between if I'm really smart or just really lucky, and the truth is probably that I don't know either myself.


So much for my little egotrip. Bah...I need to go write some emails.

Could you make a pdf of your thesis and put it here online? I wanna read it.

heh...I wanna see how much BS Ox managed to shove into that. :p So anyway...err...yes, I meant Dutch, not Belgian. *cough*

Y'know, just because you're smart doesn't mean you have to procrastinate.
