A sturgeon for ceremonial slapping - yes, that works much better than tuna for timorous tapping.

Re: a mouse issue

I feel your pain, Abyss. I had a dodgy mouse that kept clicking even though I hadn't told it to click. I cleaned it, and cleaned it, and cleaned it... and finally gave up and bought a new mouse.

I no longer fear my mouse. It works properly. Hallelujah!

Congratulations to Andrea who I am sure will be an excellent moderator.

And thank you to Collector for having such faith in me. <starts playing with the admin settings.> Whoops. "Er... Collector... was the forum supposed to hit that iceberg...?"

I have two EXCELLENT reasons for not knowing who she is.

1. I am not in the US.
2. I am female.

Has anyone <whisper> ever seen... a grue?

Re: And One Must Perish!

Poor Conner! But if he were the one to perish, there would be no emotional tug, and therefore the tension of loss would not be present. I think of Mask of Eternity as being a game in the KQ world, but not strictly speaking a game in the KQ series. It's King's Quest: Mask of Eternity rather than King...

Re: QfG5

Andrea, I am awfully sorry that your game of QfG4 is still giving you errors. If I see a copy of the stand-alone QfG anywhere, I'd be happy to grab it and send it to you. I wish I HAD purchased that copy at the game shop in my local shopping centre... It was sitting there, innocently... I nearly did...

Re: Movies?, movies!

My favourite James Bond of all is Sean Connery. My reason is that... er... he's Sean Connery. No other reason needed! <fans herself swiftly to stop from keeling over> Connery truly brought out the fact that James Bond is a dysfunctional human being - a ruthless man who uses people even when their us...

Re: Which emotion is most powerful, do you think?

That is - sit on it. Wait until it's fully hatched.
