Yeah, I spent my childhood in a house of cats, all of which learned to hate and hiss at me. I am not one for having many distractions, so a cat seems like an unnecessary obligation with no real end goal.

Yeah, I can definitely agree. My room is pretty dark (mainly as a way to fight off the sun due to being used to CRT monitors and their reflective nature) so I cannot generally see my keyboard. I could go out and buy an expensive keyboard with a backlight, but it is pretty pointless when I never look at it and prefer to look at the monitor.

320GB? That is larger than my secondary hard drive (232GB) and nearly as large as my primary (465GB)! Yeah, I can't wait until they gain a bit more stability and size, right now it sounds pretty awesome.

Ugh, stinks to hear it is the hard drive that is the bottleneck. Part of the problem of switching is also laziness, I would have to reinstall all my software and transfer everything. Eventually I will, I just need to save up my funds and play around with a new piece of technology.

Checkpoint saves? I hadn't heard of that one, I thought that was something more old school like the NES or Playstation. I survived the hardest difficulty of Dark Forces though and don't really save scum like I used to anymore, so I think I could handle it. Heh, I take it as a challenge to survive from one checkpoint to the next, I just have a problem with the checkpoint resources are limited (Resident Evil 1-3) as it makes me paranoid that I won't have the time to play much and I will waste a ribbon.

Heh, funny you say that, I actually like the website Outlook and use that as my primary email (I hate using Gmail, it is extremely frustrating to play with and feels heavily outdated). I guess I am lucky as I have no real serious need to worry about email, I rarely get messages these days.

Sorry to hear that, I thought there were still plenty of idiots to mess up their computers. Go to download a file, click the wrong download link and end up downloading a video player as well as a couple toolbars. I am surprised you don't get the crazy people that want you to fix their computer while they watch and the issue is that the monitor is broken. If moving a laptop screen can fix the computer, I don't think the issue is software.

Heh, I went to bed, so I guess it was a good time to say "later".

Yeah, the original Tomb Raider takes some getting used to. I started on Tomb Raider 3, I actually never tried any of the titles after that one, and backpedaled to the first game.

I actually limit the number of games I play for no real good reason. Pretty much, when the Wikia was messed up and I was on a hiatus, I had little to do or play (Le Rottweiler has been lately disinterested in playing much Quake, so the server hasn't been as active as it used to be). I am glad to be back as now I can actually do something.

It was released during my favorite time period, but 1996 is a picky year for me to be honest. 1998 is the best year. Sprite based gaming just wouldn't feel dark or atmospheric to me either.

Heh, you can see that with the edit I did yesterday, small change but something that needed to be done. Yeah, I spend a lot of time reediting things to fix some small mistake that has appeared on hundreds of pages.

It is a shame about the Wikia, but at least we are reaching a stable point.

Yeah, Wikia can be pretty unstable in regards to editing, it is made to be easy for anybody to do but also makes it challenging to master. We are pretty strict here with formatting on certain pages for a better user end experience (basically, it is hard for the editor if they don't know what they are doing, but comes out great for the reader).

Yeah, calling someone a Darwinian nightmare wouldn't exactly be the best way to approach them :P

Wikia is a profit based organization, if that is what you are asking. It is free for people to create here, but they are a commercial business.

I actually had a period where I kept trying to play text-adventure games. Unlike the FPS, I have absolutely no skill at them, so I end up entirely lost (usually I think if I go east and then west I should end up in the same spot, but that seems rarely the case). I also stink at commands, it is hard figuring out just the series of words the developers wanted you to type.

Yeah, I am more of a FPS fan any day.
