Alright? I just didn't want the following to be on the front page.
Oh man, woh', not even joking, but I think this morning I got visited by someone, I mean, someone who I'm supposed to care about and has passed away.

I had a really real dream which disturbed me a bit about an old man called Sissy who worked in the textiles industry and 'had a son, once, for a week, but he didnt survive'. Proper shook me up, even after when I woke up.

Wouldn't supprise me if it turns out to be a real person.

Nah', I don't think so, I don't normally have dreams like this.
I think it's 'cus I believe in that sort of thing or maybe I'm subseptable or something, donno, I was crying for a good hour or soo when I woke up. I think I better visit the grounds where Dad is 'cus I see him too much these days, like, every couple of days, just for a moment when I see an old man driving past me or walk around a corner, really makes me jump back... he's haunting me. I mean, haunting in the respect that he's on my subconcious so much.

Then again, she's probably set up a trade. She pays the mortgage, and as a result, is allowed to abuse the cats every few months.

I wonder what percentage of the body is gender specific, and if it's different between males and females....
... and then the most you can be is that perceentage one way or another.

Not being funny, but you know gay people, do they have more female parts than hetrosexual males? I mean, they fancy a bit of cock, so surely that part of their brain is female? A bit like how if you're preop transgender, you have a female brain.

I have no idea if this is incredibly insulting or not.
(, Fri 14 Oct 2011, 9:25, Reply)
My understanding is
If your body produces ova, then you are female; if it produces sperm, then you are male. Then added to this there are hormones which are usually defined as male or female, so for example if a woman has higher than normal levels of testosterone, she may display more male characteristics (being hairy, collecting comics, that sort of thing).
I'm not sure how it works for hermaphrodites though.

I had some toast and peanut butter while playing Total War. I've nearly won, Spain had me on the ropes for a while because I was really dependant on my foreign trade routes from the Americas and they kept blockading me, but I shipped in some extra troops and fucked their shit up in their homeland and now I'm getting about 25K a turn and I own all of the Americas apart from some shit little territories so I'm the dominant world power and it's just a matter of time now.

Nah', but it's got a really awesome packaging. Think of one of their pies...
.... except around the _middle_ is a tare off bit and the top comes off and you eat it that way. Really handy, I bet you could eat that on the tube without touching the food itself. I wouldn't though, 'cus it fucking skanks when someone is eating fast food on the tube.

I could never get into Total War, any of them, it's all fields and I like micromangement of structures in my RTSs. What one you got? I really wish Red Alert 3 didn't go so comical, and it ran well on the really-really-high-end laptop I had at the time when it came out. It might work on my macbook so I might give it another go, but they fucked it up.

Did you ever play C&C: Generals? That was my fave one. I liked it that when it first came out, we were just going into Iraq, and the game's opening mission was distroying the that big structure of the two swords.
(, Fri 14 Oct 2011, 9:28, Reply)
My computer wasn't good enough to handle the games after Red Alert 2 came out so I never played Generals
I used to love a bit of C&C though, my favourite tactic when they had the big indestructible laser was to build an army of engineers, like hundreds of them, and then just light brigade charge into the enemy camp and take over enough of their power stations to stop the laser working and then take their barracks and start making my own troops.

What about these days, do you have anything that can run it now? Ohhh, there is a mac version, with the awesome add-on "Zero Hour"...
... which gave the 3 factions about 3 countries each with specialist people.

I like it when you're playing with a newbie in a big 6 player game (2 on 2 on 2, or 3 on 3), and then you build all your nucular power stations in your 'allies' base. Then wait for them to accidently attach one of your troops which would end your treety and turn their base defences against your nucular power stations.

I'm exactly in the same boat
Red Alert 2 was as far as I go, but it was absolutely brilliant.

My tactic was to build as many Kirovs as possible, then just send them, following with tanks a minute or so after they'd reached the base,
