I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I did a search for games, and in the bottom field of user, put his name in, that did it too.

sure, NoiseDesign is actually working today. Me? Not so much. All that means, no testing of the Conquer Club.

OK, because it took me so long to join Death Spigot's school, I contributed three brutes: DePunch Mode, who is lame, and Darth Nane and Darth Nocuous, who are scary. Here's Darth Nocuous' second fight ever, and it's a two-hit fight: [link]

Damn. Nice going. Peeeeeeev has managed a 1 hit kill when he opened up with that crazy flying hammer attack but when he doesn't use it (or uses it inappropriately on a Brutes' frikkin pet!) he has to work hard to stay in the game.

Oh, and Omnis, I'll be getting my copy of the Orange Box back soon. If there comes a break in the craziness I will meet you on TF2 and show you the ropes.

Sweet! I'll be sure to bring my hard hat home.

There are some real advantages to being close to an Amazon shipment center. I ordered a new copy of Orange Box (Cass is keeping the one I loaned her) last night at 11pm.

I got the package this morning. 10 minutes before I got the shipping confirmation email.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I thought the thing was broken and I kept creating students and I got a little silly. Now I have students named Regina Phalanges and William Bendix.

No, no chance. Saturday night possibly but I have a lot of work to complete today.

show you the ropes

I think you misspelled "slaughter you mercilessly while cackling manically."

Au contraire. TF2 is a team game. I intend to show Omnis how each class works. Indeed, I'd like to get a bunch of Buffistas who own the 360 version of Orange Box together because TF2 really is a brilliant casual team shooter.
