One last gardening lecture - vines need to be cut in general because the best grapes come from young branches. How do you get young branches? You cut off the older ones, while still being careful not to kill the plant by cutting too much. The young ones grow so fast that in the end the whole thing could become bigger than before you cut it. And it will give better fruit :)

You kniow, despite some differences, our tastes are pretty similar. We like retro stuff, with an emphasis on first-person shooters. I guess this is why I often believe that if I love something, you'd most likely like it as well (besides, Raadec liked it too, though he is weirdo :P ). In the case of Hexen, it is something I liked a lot - you have probably noticed that I focus on art and design (whereas you focus on gameplay), and in this regard the game pleases me quite a bit. Plus, it was the last part of the series to obtain and it wasn't easy, making it an even more valuable addition to my collection. Anyway, I definitely suspected you'd find the enemy respawns annoying, though I honestly never imagined it could be so bad. I guess I underestimated it :P

I am sure you know I'd never recommend something to you if I know for sure that you'd hate it. It is no secret I dabble in ancient stuff, yet I am aware that more than half of it is stuff that you'd either not be interested in or outright hate for various reaason. And so it never gets mentioned, much less recommended.

So yeah - there is always an element of gambling involved. When I first saw you play Arena, at first I thought I'd hate it. But when I actually spent some time with it, I found out that I liked it. It was a successful gamble. And the Hexen gamble probably wasn't that successful, though I hope future instalments can remedy this to an extent.

Hey, ramblings are still better than shouting obscenities (another thing I'm not really proud of, though it's in the past now). I know you can manage. You are an embodiment of persistence.

So, we foudn the DRAGON map. Seems E10N stuff is starting to show up a little more often now. Coudl we expect a BIGGEST map soon? We'll see...

I'll check that SS thing as soon as I can.
