I don't think you could buy Redguard or Battlespire digitally anywhere until now.
If you had made a thread, we'd have edited your post so it was an announcement! You missed out on your moment of glory. Yes, this is the first time it was made available legally.

Damn, i could have used that as my chance to be useful instead of a questionable person that has intentions of harm against other UESP via comic book methods or stretched out puns, jokes, poisoned Foundcakes or [&@%!]. Also, can i have 4 points for all of my erm.... not successful attempts at taking over the forums? Oh and for being the bloke that kept chat alive for a long time.

Yes, i'm claiming that. What? My ego has taken a major beating and needs to be rebuilt. Would do it in Iron Man style but if i could, i wouldn't be here.

Doesn't matter how tolerant you are to caffeine. Sleep is a basic, instinctual thing, and thus is effected on basic, instinctual levels. Stimulants lingering in your blood can and definitely do affect your sleep patterns, and not in a good way.
Remember, caffeine has a half life of 6 hours, giving it about 12 before it's fully out of your system.

Coffee is one of the few cheap things that i can buy without worrying about it breaking my wallet at the moment and my body is used to abuse mainly due to £20 a week being crap if you want to have a fairly healty diet as in my experience, fruit goes off quickly, veggies are not usually worth the cost when looking at quantity and tis fairly annoying that i....

don't know many meals that i can cook. That and on a per meal basis, i generall go for what makes a meal instead of item.

Instead of a point, I like point-y hats. I was highlighting the pun. And a pointy hat cause I want to be able to turn to other peeps who check their phones in class and yell... Ahem...

You can't put Hat in the mix! He's supposed to stay separate because he's the topping.

Golly gosh LLW, that is big font. My mother would love it.

And you never know, maybe 100 points could buy you a special point-y hat (this statement is wildly speculative, so don't be expecting hats where hats may not be present.)

Oh, they are never on her forehead. Though sometimes they are on the tip of her nose at the threshold before falling off.

Lanyards were bought for that -easy to find cos they're around my neck- thing, but lanyards were not used because the not-young-person thinks that they look like a not-young-person accessory. *shakes head*

As a weapon, they are useless. I mean, the sheer amount of effort that one has to go into in order to strangle a foe with them is usually never worth it. On an unrelated note, if you start noticing bad smells around here, i er... farted. Oh and don't go into the door down the hallway. (it has my prawns in)

Joking aside, the one thing i hate about Lanyards that they are too easy to break and just fall apart. I even had to resort to using tape to hold it together.

Tape? Oh my days, the horror.

They break easy cos they're crappy bits of shoelace holding on to something. Good part is that at least they cost nothing.
What do you use your lanyards for?

:lol: For some reason I was expecting something different.

That's the only thing I've ever used them for too. I wish my mp3 player had a hole for one - it'd be really useful for when you're not wearing pockets.

...my lanyard has lasted since I started 2 1/2 years ago. Same one.

Different nametag, though. They start off with a nice big font when you first get a nametag and every time you have to get a new one (original lost or whatever) the font gets smaller and less snazzy. And no, I have not the slightest idea what is up with that.

Everything goes back to the beginning fonts.

The italics are 'foosing me tonight.

You must have the good ones where you work, llw. Perhaps the increasingly small font is to teach people not to lose/neglect their nametags, and to let everyone else know who the nametag losers are.

Edit: Now the italic is a scorethrough......I gets it!

I hit the wrong thing in my haste to be clever. Instead of being clever, I was confusing. To people other than myself for once.

(Why is the strikethrough not grouped with italic and bold anyway?)

Good point. It does seem odd that it's down there between the tag shortcuts.

JCTS, I'm assuming there may be a bit more traffic in the forums now that the GOG games have just been released.
