The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Right so the point of this post is that although I've been thinking about posting for a while - and even registered a few days ago - its taken until now to actually do it. Oh, if only you all weren't so witty and interesting, I wouldn't need the dutch courage of a skinfull to join in the discussion! Of course, it's a stupid way to do it cos after a few beers my rapier-like wit has all the cutting edge of a plastic light-sabre. But what's a newbie to do?
Please post breathing-techniques, encouragement, digital valium, tales of losing your forum virginity etc etc. Go on, please.

Nice Review of Ecks VS Sever by the way.

Breathing techniques: Depends what you're doing at the time, but generally an inhale followed by an exhale works quite well. Unless, of course, you are a fish. Fish have a saying: 'Go with the flow'. Never try to inhale whilst drinking.
Encouragement: Anyone who can make me laugh with their first post, even when I'm sober, gets my vote for something. Dunno what that something is. But I'll work it out.
Digital Valium: I'd never heard this phrase before, and because it's 3:52am I actually looked it up on Google.com. Amazing what I do when I'm bored. You'll be pleased to know that there were only two hits for it. Mike Godwin once said that video was a good digital valium for surfers, and Clay Shirky was extolling the virtues of a piece of software using the same phrase. So soon there'll be 3 hits on Google once it finds this particular post. And you'll go down in history as possibly on the third person in history ever to post that phrase. Isn't that great?
Tales of Losing My Forum Virginity: "I post, therefore I spam." - Descartes.
