Any one know how many new people have come on the list in the
last couple of months? I believe there are quite a few around here.
One thing that ticks me off are the idiots that play role-playing
games and take them as serious as real life. Like the people who die
playing D&D for example. What brain capacity does it take to decide
between real life and a fake character? I don't mean anyone on the list
because most of the people on the list are a lot smarter than this. The
people i do mean are are the ones who compare eerything to game terms and
what if you had this in real life and what if this happened in Sr and
what if this character out of a book came to life and a lot of other
things...
I hadto say this seeing the kids playing games in the Gamers Club
at my school. I mean were talking kids who have no life playing Magic or
D&D till their brain oozes out their ass in a state of atrophy. I saw a
kid today with a cardboard box filled with nothing ut about half a foot
of magic cards. What a waste of money. To him its a liffe, to people
like me it is only a game and a game it will stay.
Sorry if I offended anybody.....
