    Not for me even though I like adventure games to a certain point.

    Thanks Ant,

    I always found it amusing that with Spalls, you get a good sized
    paragraph of information, even if he hasn't played whatever free game
    is on offer.

    With you... a link. :)

    But anyway, thank you.

    What can I say. I'm verbose, loquacious, wordy, communicative, blabby, garrulous, effusive, articulate, and/or a long-term sufferer of verbal diarrhea.

    And I'm sure some people like the quieter straight-to-the-point "gimme
    the link and go away!" technique used by Ant. I can respect that...
    even if I can't honor it.

    After all, I'm born of an older era where one or two line comments
    were looked down upon on Usenet. The old-timers beat verbosity into me
    with sticks, and I've never been able to break the habit.

    I also like to pretend that my descriptions might trigger a deeper conversation, even if its only to tell me that my characterization of
    the game is completely inaccurate and full of shit. But at least it
    will get (I imagine) people talking more on Usenet. ;-)

    Oh Spalls. You are a bunch of fun!

    But I think Shakespeare said something like "Brevity is the soul of
    wiit" :-)

    Love ya!

    Thanks!

    Just goes to prove I don't have a soul. Or wits. ;-)
