Yeah, but when you just have stats of numbers fighting other stats of numbers,
it really begins to lose some of its appeal. It's kind of fun, but I never
finished DOOM for the same reason. After awhile, it begins to just be the
same rooms, over and over, the same NPC's I just killed, three rounds ago,
and when we finally kill them...we are magically healed and some more suddenly
show up. It just seems that it loses most of its fun after about five minutes.
(Not to mention, ten gaming sessions...)

I did not mean to start a flamewar, although it seems that I have, but in
defense of the people who are not from English-speaking countries, most of
the people on here with lousy grammar and such are from the U.S. I think
this is because most of the "furriners" find english easier to read if it's
written well. Not that I'm now trying to start another flamewar...you can
write however you want, as far as I am concerned... *lets out a whimper as
he looks at the burns covering his body*
