remember, it's only a... game :rotfl:


or, if you are thinking about "time wasting" as your other half is, then consider the poem 'Days' by Philip Larkin. it came to mind reading your post...

if SH3 makes you happy - helps you escape, even if it is to the bottom sometimes, then BINGO!!


no shrink required - this is your therapy

...........What a COLECTIVE of LUNATIC´s.

My respose was::rotfl:

Well i´m glad to have my Loony Colective because (like guys above telling) this is my therapy.

I am sick of today´s world, so after all day work(and all this sh...t what i livetrough every day) i sit behind comp. and lost up in SH3 where i am somebody else in some different time.


Games are my escape pod from today´s reality.

Which ones? Donitz gave his 'cease fighting' order on May 4, the formal surrender was issued on May 7. The last u-boat was sunk on May 8.

Given the time it takes for orders to actually be recieved (submerged boats sometimes don't get messages for days), I find the idea that they fought "till they had nothing left" to be a bit far-fetched.

It's okay, just lie back and relax. Now, where did I put that needle?

I do not belive I have gone more than a few days without my SH3 fix. I wounder if that because it needs so many different skills, just to get out of the harbour. I cannot think of many people who would wait 45 minutes in real time just waiting for a tramp steamer, fire your last fish and.....miss

somewhat apt...

it's astounding;
Time is fleeting;
Madness takes it's toll.
But listen closely . . .

Not for very much longer

I've got to keep control.
I remember doing the time warp
Drinking those moments when
The darkness would hit me

And a void would be calling . . .

Let's do the time warp again.
Let's do the time warp again.

Okay, so i'm due for major knee surgery sometime in march to repair my ACL. Will be off my feet for 6 weeks when not in rehab. 1 guess as to how I'll be spending my time convalescing? And my wife won't be able to say a thing...
