We are weirdos, we like Hexen. Maybe it's because we're from Europe - it's some sort of residual world war trauma :D

Different time zones produce some periods of silence here, yes, though I think I got used to them. During a typical work day I get plenty of other people talking to me about various stuff, so that keeps my mind distracted. And tomorrow we start the new academic year, meaning we'll get some extra social activities (yikes!). Curiously, I am a lot more polite to students and get along with them much better than my coworker, even though I'm supposed to be the more asocial one.

Hah, yes, I can't stand "internet speak" either. In an online game, most of the chat going on is just nonsense, spiced up with "LOL"s and obscenities about people's mothers. What's the point of that? And when someone says "it's teh intrenet, spellign is not importrent" I die a little inside. Yes, it's online, does it mean we have to butcher the language?

Didn't know NES was supposed to be the best - I always thought the SNES and the Sega Genesis were the paragons of oldschool console gaming. A friend of mine had a NES and we played some pretty weird stuff on it (those 8-bit graphics). I could say I have had an Apple II - I had a Pravets (Bulgarian communist-era computer) as a kid, and technologically it was an exact copy of an Apple II (can't say if this was done legally or not, though).

I guess Raadec won't get some our jokes for a while, until he catches up. Like if I mention DOORH... he won't know what this is :P

Addendum: Aha, now I know why Raadec takes so long to reply... he is busy baking!
