Do we really want to plumb those depths again?

Makeo · May 19, 2003, 04:22

I blame trev.

Makeo · May 19, 2003, 04:51

Hey horse are you going to get RoN? I think I might. I haven't played a rts since the first command and conquer.

Alexander's Horse · May 19, 2003, 08:25

I might - but I was really put off rts by Age of Empires, which I thought was complete crap.

Hydey · May 21, 2003, 17:58

I'm sure the AI will do wonders for your civ

finbar · May 21, 2003, 19:02

Thanks. This is the last week of rewriting. Mainly because I'm going to have to write the last 6 episodes myself because no one else can write the frigging thing!

Yep. It's all too true, unfortunately. All too terrifyingly true. The business here is mad enough, but nowhere near as mad as over there.

Alexander's Horse · May 22, 2003, 01:48

It would be okay if you could like bounce into Hollywood and bounce out again with a few million. I mean some of those hotshot young directors and writers who'd been sidelined didn't seem too distressed that their one and only commercial production flopped.

finbar · May 22, 2003, 02:04

Hollywood is a bizarre place. Writers can earn a huge - and I mean HUGE - income writing scripts that are never produced for various reasons. Ultimately, subject to their sensibilities, they get very frustrated. If they don't, they lack sensibility.

People like Baz Luhrman have it worked out nicely. Live here, take their money, make the films mainly here. To achieve that position, you need a track record, which he has created.

Ms finbar:

"So Horse" she swigs a glas of wine, " why do you think ceding a city is OK in a non-alliance game?"

Horse (Mr Ed):

"Well, I had a choice... I could have taken the city Makeo took off deity but that would have depleted my resources so it was easier for Makeo to just give me the city."

LOL!

It's true! Go figure!!

Ms finbar will back me up IF she remembers...???

Ahh, dinner at finbars = a delight

With out saying a word logic outweighed nonsense

deity · May 22, 2003, 02:25

Horse:

"Hosting games isn't easy you know"

deity · May 22, 2003, 04:19

If it was Bananas in Pyjamas who is B1?

If it was Punch and Judy...

Meanwhile...

deity · May 22, 2003, 04:27

Ahhh, that softens him a bit

finbar · May 22, 2003, 04:27

For crying out loud, someome pull his plug.

deity · May 22, 2003, 07:10

That was definitely more than 2 cans.

deity · May 22, 2003, 14:01

It's absolutely true!

Help Ms finbar

Hydey · May 22, 2003, 18:42

Ms finbar, I have to tell you, is less than impressed with your use of the verb "swig" in relation to a glass of wine. "Guzzle", she wouldn't have had a problem with, but "swig" is just plain offensive.

Besides which, she says she has absolutely no recollection of the conversation you quote. As I pointed out to her, the dining table is solid timber and it's hard to hear much when you're under it.

Alexander's Horse · May 22, 2003, 21:51

LOL!

deity · May 23, 2003, 05:44

Well, she might not have used those words but that was the drift of the question (it might have been a quizzical look perhaps after finbar brought up the issue!) and Horse's answer is almost exact

I shwaear bwlind...

Hydey · May 23, 2003, 05:45

but he only had 2 cans
