Re: if (Play && Want && Bin) { post_pwb('ugvm'); }



My games playing as usual seems to deviate from everyone else's. I must be
weird like that.


Play:

The Sims 2: Seasons (PC): It's snowing! Woohoo! Erm, yep - suppose that's
one way to keep my Sims warm in bed(!). Why is it that despite my Sims being
indoors when it's snowing, that they still somehow freeze to death? I sense
a glitch somewhere...

The Secret of Monkey Island 2 (PC): Finally saw the need to download DosBox.
This game is still great and the jokes still seem fresh, despite it's age.

Sim City 2000 (PC): Unplayable on XP until I found DosBox. Haven't really
played this one in years and unlike SOMI2, this one's pretty horrible to
play.

Duke Nukem 3D (PC): Again via DosBox. Really hasn't aged well at all.

Jobhunting (RL): This is really crap. I've applied for five jobs so far and
had three rejections. Terrific. Why does the dole suddenly seem so bloody
tempting?


Want:

Gunstar Heroes (GG): I've seen screenshots in the past and thought "yeah
this looks pretty". It's not until you actually see it running here:

....that you think "Jesus f**king Christ!". Of course if I was somehow able
to get hold of a legit copy (almost impossible seeing as it was never
released outside Japan, apparently), then the fact my Game Gear has
increasingly become senile in it's old age would mean I still wouldn't have
much luck playing it.


Oblivion: Shivering Isles (PC): It's been a while since I last bothered with
Oblivion, but this would tempt me back.


Bin:

Unemployment.

Paul.
