Title: Stu's chant of the day: Well, that was certainly interesting.
Post by: Stunaep on July 20, 2003, 05:32:33 pm

So I was riding on the bus from one estonian city to the other, y' know what I mean?

I had my mother's laptop with me. A P4 1.6 Ghz 256 mb DDR Ati Radeon 32 mb VDRAM beast.

Incidentally with Splinter Cell installed. To pass the time I decided to slack off a few levels. After all, the monster-acumulator would provide me with two full hours of play-time.

After one hour, exactly 14 1/2 (1/2 being a child) people were standing around my seat, cheering, instructing, and generally discussing the Ubisoft masterpiece. Now, if I ever need to overhaul my car, get a decent webserver, or generally need a favor, I've got some new numbers to call.

Never would have thought.

I wish I could play Splinter Cell, alas I'm too poor/lazy/cheap to upgrade.

So that's what it takes to meet people? I need a laptop... I'll put starcraft on it, and rome rockland county's public transportation routes... On second thought...

Maybe in South Korea it'd work, then again, they probably have laptops installed already, with Starcraft on it.

Ah, right, Estonia.

Having a 'magic drawing' and 'portable lighting' they probably all thought he was some kind of evil wizard and wanted to get on his good side.

I generally get annoyed with that happens. But you didn't obviously. Go you! :yes:

In general, if you start doing something in a public place that nobody else is doing, everyone will crowd around you to watch. :D

yeah, in Korea there's no such thing as a Starcraft n00b.  Starcraft to them is like baseball to Americans.  it's on public television and everything.

Happens to me any time. You just start taking off your pants, and suddenly you're the center of attention for a block around.


Really, has nobody anything better to do with their lives?
