Deus Ex? Old? Older than Phase?

Surely you jest.

It's nine years old apparently. I don't think Phase is quite that young. Perhaps of spirit, but not of age.

[Coidzor]

Huh.. I thought it came out in the early 90s.

[Rutskarn]

"Doom" came out in the early 90s. Deus Ex was released in 2000.

[Coidzor]

OH FPS's and your Ds...

What's with that anyway? Are guys supposed to love Ds?

[billtodamax]

Ds are awesome. They'd totally punch you in the face if they had arms.

[Neko Toast]

Playgrounders, a dilema has just been thrust upon me. Hear me out for a minute.

Now, my friends and I have a tabletop game running, but we rarely have enough time to get things done because most of us work or other engagements. We usually only get a few hours in. We were going to do some on Wednesday, but our GM is unavailable that day, and they're rescheduling tomorrow. Why tomorrow? Because everyone else has the day off. This has never happened so far this summer, so they were planning on gaming all day. Which I LOVE to do.

Unfortunately... I did have prior plans with my family to go to Milwaukee for the day, first to go to the zoo, then to the state faire. I was even going to see one of my college friends, because they're working at the faire.

I... I don't know which to choose. I am leaning more towards the gaming because it's only a matter of weeks now before we all go off to college for the school year, and I want to spend as much time with them as I can, but if I do, I think I might upset my parents father by doing so.

So, if you were in my shoes, which would you choose? All-day gaming, or zoo and the faire with a family (to clarify things a little more, I'm not entirely close to my family, and my brother's a brat... there's a good chance that the day could be ruined with me being there)?

[DraPrime]

STUFF

In the end, you are you, and we are not you, so only you really know which you will enjoy more. But if I had to pick for myself, I'd do the gaming. Especially if there's gonna be some twerp brother irritating me at the zoo.

[Assassin89]

Text regarding choice of whether to choose all day-gaming or family plans

In your shoes, I would choose the gaming, considering that your brother would cause complications in the plans at Milwaukee. I don't think you would be missing much if you did all-day gaming since I have been to the Milwaukee county zoo with my family several times. Not sure about the state faire, but that doesn't seem that exciting.

[Philistine]

That depends on the context, doesn't it?

[Phase]

Also. What is thine writing assignment?

Rutskarn's Steam-group Chocolate Hammer contest. Gotta get back on that.

What? Tell me more or link me to elucidation, por favor. *puppy dawg eyes*

Slayah: You know what you must do.

drug your brother and ship him to.... [roll]1d20[/roll]

[Moofin Bard]

Pick The Gaming. All Day Gaming Is More Fun Than Anything With Family.

EDIT: This was in all caps but somehow it's not anymore?

[FoE]

Slayer, I would choose the path that ends with the fewest people getting upset with you.

[wadledo]

I'd actually go with family, simply because you've got more time for gaming, but this is the only time for family.

In other news, I feel somewhat dirty from reading so much of Bleedman's work.
My eyes feel like the the bottoms of a very large and very runny bat.

[Coidzor]

Bleedman? The guy from Oceania who did the Powerpuff girls' fan comics?

The familoy is a more limited venue and has those who has some fiscal influence over your future involved...

[wadledo]

Bleedman? The guy from Oceania who did the Powerpuff girls' fan comics?

Yes.
The non-powerpuff girls stuff is pretty good.
I especially enjoy Sugar Bits. Hansel knows kungfu!

[Phase]

As seen on TV.

[Coidzor]

His art is very good. That, I won't deny.

But I was turned off very quickly by the story lines of his that I was exposed to through deviantART.

Hmm... Well, I guess another chance never hurt anyone.

Other than all the people Dr. Wily has killed...

[Cristo Meyers]

Ever have one of those dreams that just refuses to let you go? I feel like I must've spent a good hour just trying to wake up, knowing that I was dreaming, but the damn thing just wouldn't let me...

[Dragonrider]

Ever have one of those dreams that just refuses to let you go? I feel like I must've spent a good hour just trying to wake up, knowing that I was dreaming, but the damn thing just wouldn't let me...

What I find is that I have a dream with a premise that shocks, horrifies, annoys me, and yet when I wake up my brain can't let the story go and I continue in the vein of the unconscious dream, somehow unable to alter it or stop thinking about it.

[Player_Zero]

Pick whichever option you want but have no regrets.

You mean like essentially being in your own horror setting while it's being run by one of your most sadistic characters?

I think she was either trying to negotiate for more screen-time or trying to get me to actually work on the book...too bad excising that demon vinyl from our home comes first!

[Player_Zero]

You know what we need more of? Things like Dr. Horrible...

And more Let's Play videos with amusing people. I think Phase would be pretty good at one if he hasn't already made one.

[Flickerdart]

Oh, FedEx and your zany screw-ups. First you go to the wrong house and say "your daughter said you were asleep" (pro tip: I am 18 and do not in fact have children), then you come 2 hours too late. Then instead of my GeForce 9800, you bring me a GTX280. That needs an 8-pin connector to run which nobody stocks except for NewEgg, which came up to $17 for the $5 cable. Even when you get something for free, you still have to pay.

I was thinking "Bioshock: A plumber on a mission" at one point. That damned wrench can't fix the pipes.

[Dragonrider]

Yes. This.

[Coidzor]

That would have been an interesting take on things, to be sure.

Also how the digits of nine's multiples always add up to nine.

Also that I'm not a mathematically inclined person.

Wait. According to Zero's implication, you've already done an LP?

Gimme gimme gimme!

Also: I entertained the vague notion of doing a Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter LP on top of my Morrowind one, but shot that down. Technically, my Morrowind LP has video ELEMENTS.

Huh, that is pretty cool. I had never noticed before.
