Wayfarer's Tavern

Think I might read @Mckk's book this summer.

 

Which reminds me, I'm gonna have to start consulting the list of books our members published and compare what's in my local library so I can read them.

Hmm...The Light at the End of the Wormhole sounds intriguing. Will have to see if I can find it at my library or, failing that, buy it on Kindle.

 

If you actually do, let me know what you think

 

What's the title of your book? *takes out pen and paper*

 

Check out my signature or my avatar

It's No One to Save Her. It's a collaboration - just make sure you read at least 2 chapters, cus my writing doesn't come till chapter 2 (we alternate) But be warned, it's mostly romance.

 

The heat and humidity today is amazing.

 

I'll buy you a drink Does the Tavern have air conditioning?

 

Here too! Just had an awesome thunderstorm after a really hot day. The 5th and 6th graders figured they had to help me out and without asking showered me with water. I was soaked, but it was too funny for me to actually be upset with them.

 

Here in the tropics, taverns only keep the beer on ice, not the people, sadly. I saw an image yesterday showing you other countries that were on a similar/same latitude with where you live and I live at the same latitude as Vietnam and Thailand. *melts into a puddle upon the Tavern floor*

 

Today's thunderstorm is only just now setting up its drums and rumbles. Should be another David Attenborough commenting from behind a jungle bush downpour.

 

At least we don't have that problem in the UK! Living in the tropics does not sound like my idea of fun unless I had a pool. Must have a pool with a poolside fridge. Sigh...

 

Damn you and your tropical weather!

 

It's the mosquitos you've got to watch out for. They'll tap you dry in no time flat.

 

I don't like cold beer.

 

On a day like today I love an ice cold malta. Malta is what a Coke would taste like if it were made by Guinness.

 

Okaay, really nice. one or two, then hotlegs says:

'Who's doing shots?'

No, thank you,' I say, 'my favourite astronaut is on the box,' and 'cheerio young things, pass my jersey.'

 

*Warning, incoming rant*

Tell me if this is familiar: You get the game you've been looking forward to for weeks to play on your X-Box One. You play it for an afternoon, go off to do other things the next day and you come back to play it again for this afternoon's session...only to find out that your X-Box One has lost connection to the internet, thus it can't even start the game with your profile and saved game usage.

This is what happened to me.

*sighs*

Remember the good old days when all you had to do was turn on the console and put in the disk to play a game? You didn't have to worry about whether the damned fucking console would even work with or without the internet connection?

Why did I get an X-Box One again? I already have a PS4!!!!



Y'know what? Forget it. Forget my X-Box One. It can be a glorified doorstopper for all I care. I'll just stick to the PS4 and Wii-U. Y'know, the consoles that don't require internet connection to even work, much less play games?!? Y'know, the consoles where all you have to do is push the button and put in the disk and play the game!?!

 

As a hopelessly addicted MMO player, I feel your pain.

 

It's just...

just...what's the point!?? Not everyone has 110% high-speed internet connection 100% of the time, not everyone is into online gaming. People like me just want to be able to play the damned game and leave the internet thing an optional addition. But no, apparently with the x-box one (capitalization left out deliberately) you have to be on the internet at all times. AT ALL TIMES!!

And I blew away how many dollars for this? Just...just...

AAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!

 

My 8 year old learned that lesson when he got Plants vs Zombies: GArden Warfare for Xmas. He has no interest in PvP but even the solo game demands 100% online connectivity to play. It is a dark time for gamers ... I blame pirates, and the Democrats, but mostly pirates.

 

I am new to this forum, as well as this site. This thread seems very controversial judging by the OP, and I'd be unbelievably disappointed if I missed out on a good controversy.

So, hello. The name's No-Name.

 

If that you in the profile pic, has anyone told you that you look like Maria Bamford?

 

Lol, love your cynicism. You must be a writer.

But no, no one has ever told me that. I seem to get really strange comparisons, though, none of whom ever look alike, so it's hard for me to follow the thread. For instance, Delores O'Riordan of The Cranberries, and Natalie Wood.

Maria Bamford is hilarious, though, so I'll take it as a compliment.

 

I agree. My son tells me online games are addictive If you use your xbox as a door stop, think how much writing you'll get done in your free time.

 

I agree. I'm gonna go ahead and write for a bit. At least I don't need to be connected to any external devices to be able to type on a word document/write on a paper. My X-Box can be drink coaster for all I care. >:[
