I mean.... *probably*. Probably not alone. *Some*body else would probably find that really funny.

Hypothetically speaking.

Of course, I *do* want the outfit I ended up purchasing for my character. Okay, yes, I have most of it already. But pink top hat! I need one!

My friends found the way to keep me motivated to play the game. I HATED the outfit my character started out with, and was compelled to earn money so she could have proper clothing. Pete found this hysterical.

I found it hysterical because she was not urged, teased or cajoled to keep playing, but once she'd gotten a taste of upgrading her character's outfit she played for another two hours to get the money to get a real ensemble.

Comedy frikkin' gold.

Am I stamping my little feet and demanding my own copy of the game? No I am not. I just wanted my character to have proper clothing.

Matter of time, matter of time.

Addicted, I say.

Addicted, I say.

I will only become addicted if they figure out a way for the clothing I buy for the character to be delivered to me in real life. Until that happens, I feel no need to play the game. So there.

P.S. I need a pink top hat.

Yeah, we'll see, the next time they're playing the game and you have the opportunity to expand your wardrobe and go after some of those expensive boots. We will see.

I didn't actually like most of the more expensive boots. The witchy boots were the right ones.

Pblllt!

And now I snag the satanic number-sluttage for the very first gaming thread!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

I need to get out more.

Yes, yes you do.

Driving around Liberty City DOES NOT COUNT as getting out more. In case you were wondering.

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

you two are an adorable couple.

Sean, I'm in. Looks like I can't do bootcamp. ND, does it require a lot of CPU? Will it run ok under parallels? If yes, then I gotta get that working again.
