    hahah, yeah i noticed that too, "Hey! he's playing HLDM!" it felt <i>awesome</i> to see HLDM being used as opposed to something evil like.. uh.. unreal tournament.... despite that being awesome as well...

    well, you get what i mean at least.

    good question, i fear it may have been one of my awesomeness induced temporary insanities, it happens when i am so overwhelmed with awesome that i completely forget the meaning of a word and just decide to use it because i thought it went there.

    no big deal however, i shall apologize immediately for misplacing the word "harrowing" with "hallowing"

    Hallowing:

    1. To make or set apart as holy.
    2. To respect or honor greatly; revere.


    Mein most sincere apologies for wasting thine skorpion's valuable time, i shall attempt to apply more fastidious methods to my word-grooming. thing. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I saw this dude (and kid) in a documentary about the history of video games (PBS). He's a crappy parent and his kids sucks. Not to say that video games can't be good, just that his family seems like a terrible example.

    I did too. It wasn't quite as easy as 3, but basically I thought, symmetric, 4 and 4 gives 8.

    You missed the point he was making.

    Saying "there's 4" without thinking is what he's talking about.
    Saying "4+4 = 8" is technically counting.
    Congratulations, you have joined the wonderful world of counting, next up we have our times tables.

    Yeah we were counting when we did that. I did the same also. The only part where we didn't count was when we took for granted that there was 4 on each side.

    i said "8 balls" out loud, without counting the balls. I don't know, i just knew there were 8 balls before my brain actually told my consciousness, that there were 8 balls. <b>balls</b>

    Actually that wasn't what helped me.

    It was those blasted Sonic games! Its high-speed gameplay really needs you to keep your eyes peeled....

    Well that, and the Sonic Adventure 2 Time Attacks for the extra VS costumes. I swear I could run through Sky Rail without breaking a sweat....but that was long ago.

    And I couldn't count the balls when he added the other 5 for some reason, so I was just stumped when he had 8
    Apparently I've been slacking on gaming....

    I use arrow keys and I like to think I'm pretty good. I doubt anyone remembers how well I played NS, maybe I should go back to it. I know if I do I'll get my **** stomped like a pumpkin.

    I used to use arrow keys because my brother did. I remember I'd have to push the keyboard over till the arrow keys were where the WASD keys are normally. Then I finally figured out what I was doing and switched over so I wouldn't have to move the keyboard around and so I could use all those extra keys around the WASD setup, i.e. E and R and Q etc.
