It's just being realistic. Sand's like that. <nods sagely>

Well, no. /Obviously/ I didn't read your post.

Probably for the best TBH. But your post on gravity had a sparkling of wit quite lacking elsewhere in this thread of late.

Apart for the wit of Pat, this is turning out to be one of the most mind-numbingly tedious threads evah. Congratulations to all of you in plumbing the depths so enthusiastically.

 

I wish you all continued fun building with virtual Lego. Although why you don't just go out, buy some real Lego, and invite your friends around for a house-building party I just don't know.

You know, there is an ignore thread option, if we're boring you so much.

I am bored shitless by threads about phones or mortgages or fridges or cars or boring films or whatever. What I do is not read them or post in them.

I don't think one thread on a PC forum about one of the most popular games of the year, in the games folder, is unreasonable.

Also, I think you're wrong. This game isn't just lego, it's infinite lego. It's pure "play" in the sense that children play. It's (again, as a child) going exploring in this not-yet-understood world. It's building a treehouse/fort/base. It's playing in sand. It's setting fire to things. All that stuff that was magical when we were kids, this game emulates that and evokes those feelings. It taps into that limitless wonder and curiosity and creativity we have as children and tend to lose as adults - reminds us what that feels like.

I suspect you'd enjoy it if you tried it. And I suspect you suspect that too.

He fears it, Drew :(

 

(as do I, because it will mean I get no work done)

I fear he doth.

(virtual work is the new work)

one of the biggest problems with lego is you never have enough bits
I always had more in my head than I could build with limited parts

Exactly. Also your chicken thing made me laugh lots.

This is the reason I've as yet avoided it.

fuck fuck fuck

fuck fuck fuck. I had the whole folder on ignore for this very reason. Then I noticed a couple of interesting threads when I was reading while not logged in. So I took the thread off ignore...and this is what happens! (fail)

I rather suspect that I'd waste a fair amount of time, achieve little, and get thoroughly bored, TBH. Overall, I far prefer masturbation as a way of passing the time, if it must be passed.

(oh, and I'm with you on phone threads)

:D

Of course masturbation is always preferable but there's only so much you can do without getting sore.

I'd deffffinately rather spend my time doing nothing in a game than watching TV (etc.) though. At least it's an active nothing.

Think I need a bigger castle :'D

For some reason I really like making homes within a cliff face. I'm going to try and make my own Rocamadour.

That would be awesome.

 

 

I wonder if I'm the only one who tries to scroll around images like that with my mouse (as if I were playing)

I often find myself trying to click or hover over things in LotRO screenshots.

Haha, I tried to do that on a YouTube video earlier :'D

You know the stories about building your house on sand Kos :C
