Taking a short holiday

Unread post by Gobberwart » Mon Mar 24, 2008 11:36 am

Just FYI, Elljae & I are taking a three night break and going away from today (Tuesday) until Friday (Melbourne Time). During that time we won't have access to computers or internet in any form.

We will probably be talking through a number of ideas for implementing a bunch of content in game and should hopefully be able to return with some sort of plan for at least the first half a dozen quests. Or we may just end up having fun and not do any of that. We'll see.

Hm...note the lack of the adjective "fresh" in front of "doughnuts". You might wanna let them soak in the coffee for an hour or two. We can't have any dental-breakage lawsuits again.

I will be gone for the next two weeks and only have very sporadic access to teh intarwebs. Which is probably as well, since I'm utterly burnt out at the moment.
Just thought I'd let you all know, so you needn't worry about the crazy little scientist chick :-)

See y'all soon

Actually it is first and foremost about your Schrödinger pantslessness, yes. Nobody likes witty people but almost everyone likes ogling well-shaped booty ;-)

You have to consider the occasional weirdo who values intrinsic values more than blatant eye candy. Douchebags, heh.
I was just trying to stick to the truth here, which we all know equals beauty and vice versa.

Anyway, back to topic - pantslessness. Awesome intrinsic pantslessness. Without any pants whatsoever. And buttocks. Which reminds me off my all-time most cherished subject. Boooobies. mmmhmm....

When I watched "Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay", and they showed that one guy's pantsless party, I was like "That's so freakin' awesome! I wanna have a pantsless party!" Then I looked around and saw a dude and my cousin...that changed my mind pretty quickly for the moment...lol

D'oh! Need I really explain to you how awesome pantslessness and wonderful bareboobebness only applies to pretty people?
On a side-note - I don't see any train-wreckage in here, only the sophisticated exchange among true connoisseurs going on.

I don't agree. The "pantsless" rule should definitely apply only to pretty people, however the "wear a bag on your head" rule should definitely only apply to non-pretty people.

there are 3 grads of baggage:
No Bag = pretty person.
1 Bag (for them) = non-pretty
2 Bags (for you and them) = very non-pretty (in case their bag falls off)

Ha! This topic should've died a looooooong time ago, although now I'm here I may as well let you know that we're going away again for a couple of nights on the 5th and 6th September. While we're away, the cat's in charge, but could someone please feed him?
