- Clearly, I need to keep my overclocked computer in a room full of Argon.

-- Additionally, I need a vac suit.

--- On that same point, an OC'd computer might be nice, too.

- As said above, never try explaining it to those with short attention spans.

-- Really, really short attention spans.

--- Honestly, he asked about it once, and I started to explain it.

----- Halfway through the first sentence, he walked off!

- This forum dosn't do spaces very well. Ruins the whole formatting of this post!

- Just TRY to keep the story in an understandable storyline, and you'll make your head asplode.

- References to things can be made ANYWHERE. And any time, as well. (Space is big. Really big.)

- If the images on your site start spouting classical literature... DON'T PANIC. It's the Princess.

- Your Princess is in another coffin.

- ... TO BE CONTINUED! (Dundundun!)

You think the walk to the alchemist's around the corner is long? That's just peanuts to space.

Never underestimate a group of geeks that have a common interest.

Flea++ is waaay cooler than C++.

Pumpkin spice ice cream never goes out of style.

Radio drama - still an excellent storytelling medium.

The first rule of ILB is you don't talk about ILB (to unbelievers). It's much too messy to explain in 5 sentences or less.

Working 12 hour shifts M-W sucks. A lot.

Enhotenate is a word, even if I can't figure out where it came from.

I learned what a Reverse Geocoder is.

AI's can commandeer entire communication systems, but they only answer questions on Tuesday.


Picture files are a digital breeding ground, warm and moist havens of genesis that give rise to puzzles and narratives, much like a sponge gives rise to bacteria.

I learned that I can freak people out by spouting off Fleaspeak instead of normal English. It's funny seeing people's expressions afterwards.

Directly from my latest game of Warcraft III. Shortly after doing this, I spouted off...

I love... BEES!

... as well as several other quotes

Soon, everyone will cut their chickens like this!
For the Sleeping Princess!
I can do better than that...

I may suck at the game, but I can sure annoy the hell out of people quoting things they don't understand.

Also very helpful to know random Shakespear quotes. It makes you seem smart! =P

[HitsHerMark]

Actually... It's...

"I'll cullibono your sides and make a sop of the moon shine of you!"



But I already knew that... ILB didn't teach me that.

[WhiteGulls]

That's not what the copies in my class had in it. There's two diferent versions of it, so... Yeah. I'll go grab my book here...
New Folgers Library edition, pg 85:
Kent: Draw, you rouge, for though it be night, yet the moon shines. I'll make a sop 'o the moonshine of you!

He says the carbornado line a little later down. Sorry, I'm not trying to be mean, I had to memories these lines just a few weeks back. I'm still having issues remembering that wonderful paragraph of insults, though. I have this urge to have to correct anyone when I know I'm right, so... yeah, sorry about this if it sounds mean.

Edit: And once again, classical literature works its way into ILB discussions. =P

I learnt that the spoken word can have more impact on me than moving pictures, if I use my imagination.

There are people who get totally obsessed with minor plot and backstory developments of a crummy little video game and I'm proud to be one of them.

I really need better PC speakers.

I learnt how much fun an ARG can be and how little people not playing the game can tolerate or understand.

Timezones are not cool when axons get hot from 11pm-9am each Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.

I leant that a good story is something you care about in a game.

Finally, I learnt that there are intelligent, creative and funny people all around the world and I'm glad I got to hear what you guys and girls had to say...

- No matter what, the person you think is most likely to LOVE this type of game will completely glaze over whenever you mention it.

- Your friends will think you've flipped your lid when you can't really explain WHY it's so important to you to answer THE LAST PAYPHONE.

- Your significant other will want you to see a doctor when you start crying about not being able to go to a "Combat Training" session with people you've never met, but talk to about an AI from the future.

- Inevitably, when there's a set of wavs you REALLY want to listen to, your speakers will die. (As mine did, twice. Yes, I am for the second time listening to all this via headphones)

I've learned that I now have a 'bee sense'.

I got home from work today and switched on the TV. The news was on, and I left it on while I started making dinner. Then I heard the word 'bee' and my attention was captured. Turns out it was a story about imported honey, beekeepers, and an outbreak of - get this - varrao mites. Took me a minute to realise it wasn't related to the game.
