Tenderfoot Thahd Michael Pearson Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm sitting here thinking about Geneforge, and I'm also thinking about Jeff/Mariann's new child. "Man, they must be really low on Essence by now." Kill me. ... ... "They should give this one +2 int - she'll be controllable that way." "I guess if they get tired they can always Absorb her.."

Garrulous Glaahk Mr.Bookworm Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I would advise seeking professional help and deleting Geneforge from your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It's never too much until carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists makes using the mouse impossible. Although taking a break might be helpful. When you see the game in your sleep you are nearing the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply switch from mouse to trackball and continue until you can't move your fingers either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I think the seeing Geneforge in your sleep is more worrisome than the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel can be blamed on other things. Seeing Geneforge in your sleep can't be explained away so easy. Despite the fact that Dikiyoba sometimes sees Dikiyoba's self as a small, orange dikiyora plotting to build a Geneforge that gives massive amounts of power solely to Dikiyoba, Dikiyoba doesn't think that Dikiyoba has played too much Geneforge. It's not like Dikiyoba has attempted to create that Geneforge yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Geneforge_Fan Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If you cant move your fingers, you can always use your nose or just hold a pencil in your mouth. If you start screaming in pain from that, toes are always available. Eventually, you will end up with full-body arthritis. Also, seeing Geneforge in your sleep isn't that worrying- seeing it while you are awake might be a little.....odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 It's when your hallucinatons include serviles that you know something is wrong. ...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 See serviles isn't so bad. It's when they starting talking to you that's the problem. Especially if it's not with deep respect because you are a shapeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still not that bad as long as you don't go into a store and try to open every jar of pickles and put in your hand, hoping that it's a "canister".

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have wished many times to have a long robe. Not a jacket like "The Matrix" followers would wear, not a trenchcoat. A Shaper cloak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Originally by Zeviz: Quote: PS This is beginning to sound like a kind of "10 signs you've played too much ..." thread. Thirty signs that you've been playing too much Geneforge: 1. You're trying to create your own Geneforge in the basement of your house. 2. You count serviles to lull you to sleep. 3. You expect everyone outside of your clique to automatically give you respect and loyalty. 4. You frequently mistake pickle jars for canisters. 5. You wear hooded robes whenever you are out in public to hide your glowing skin. 6. You are disappointed that you are only allowed seven pets and only four types of pets. 7. People frequently ask you questions about your moral beliefs and spread your answer to everyone they meet. 8. You have red eyes in every photo and in real life, too. 9. You are already stocking up on candy canes in preparation for Geneforge 4's release. 10. You get angry a lot. NO, I DON'T! TAKE THAT BACK, OR I'LL KILL YOU FOR NO APPARENT REASON! Edit: There. Dikiyoba put together ten things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 What have I started?! 14. When a conversation gets uncomfortable, you press Esc key on your computer keyboard, hoping this will end it. 15. Whenever you enter a house, you have an urge to pick up everything that's not nailed down. 16. When punishing your dog, you tell him "If you do that again, I will absorb you." 17. When your dog misbehaves again, you try to absorb him. 18. When you get a cold, you get into your car, drive out of town, and drive back in, expecting this to restore your health.

Tenderfoot Thahd Michael Pearson Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 There's a bit of an population expansion policy going on down here in .au, amid fears that we'll have a balloon of retirees and no youngins to support them in twenty years time. One of the recent campaigns is: Have three children. One for Mum, One for Dad, and One for Australia. So these days whenever I summon my third creation, he's "for Australia".
