Lat night, I was thinking. I don't do much of it, but I decided to do some, as I hadn't done any decent thinking for a while.

Anyway, I thought about this forum. The Future Of Gaming forum. 2 questions came to mind.

1. How long will it last??

How long do you think we'll on stay on here, chatting away about Gaming.
What about when people my sort of age (me, edgy, sniper, a few more), have to go to college/university??
Will we ever get bored with it??
What are your thoughts on this??

2. What would it be like if we all met up??

What if Ali or someone sorted out a day where we all met eachother in person. Would it be the same?? Would we all be shy of eachother, not saying anything to eachother??
Would it be normal, like we are now??
What are your thoughts on this??

Anyway, that's my thinking done now. I'm off to eat sugar.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Did you hear about the the agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac?

Although we know that time passes at exactly the same rate as it always does, our perception of time certainly does change as we grown older.

I certainly remember fondly the everlasting summer holidays, and as I grew through my teenage years I was always sure that we had had less time off than the year before.

This year, well last year, I found that Christmas, and my 11 days off work passed extremely quickly, whereas the month of January seems to have lasted forever!

What those horrid evil newbies? No doubt someone will just have a go at them, and they won't bother coming back here.....

Hmm...

Time travel: Sure it'll be possible one day, somehow.

Notice now how the years seem to fly by? Scary, isn't it? It seems that your perception of time changes as you get older; the older you get, the faster time passes. Well, it does to me anyway... anyone else?


This forum: Will probably outlast any of us! Even if/when the regulars get tired of it and disappear, there will be 'new' regulars to take our place. As long as SR are around, these forums will be here, I reckon. Unless we all stop posting, of course! :-)

Exmouth hey? I was in you neck of the woods back in September on holiday. Unfortunately the weather was a bit off that week too!

My sister-in-law lives in Exeter, so we were in the area visiting her, but we did spend an afternoon in Exmouth. Found a strange little shop selling little Russian dolls and stuff!

Didn't see any game shops though. Mind you, I was with my evil mother-in-law, so she would have cried like a baby had I have wanted to go anywhere that she didn't.

Cow.

but time, although inextricably connected with space is not itself a physical entity, and thus cannot be around you, or touched by you, felt by you, travelled through by you or passed through by you...

I'm about to travel through time in my car. Forward. As far as sitting through time, it's not passing me by as it's all around me.

Oh no! Time is surrounding me.

Are you travelling through time, or is time passing you by?

Time travel is possible, if you want to go through time forwards and minute by minute.
