"Let's Play A Game." - War Games</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>That has nothing to do with nuclear warfare. Nice game, but I wish it didn't have those extra turns after each hit.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Uh...since you're playing against a COMPUTER.....Sine. "Here's your sign." Jeff Foxworthy ("stupid sign" stand up routine)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>'eh, it's battleship on PC...I fail to see anything special</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>That could get addictive...especially at work. :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Shuddup! =8^P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>No shit, Sherlock. I guess I didn't notice the fucking "Computer" label next to my battlefield. I was talking about the fact that you (or the computer) get extra turns when you actually hit something.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>My reply was for your comment about "This has nothing to do with nuclear weapons". Here's your sign.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Attaching a WarGames quote means you have to have some sort of nuclear game linked. You could argue that the missiles that blow up the ships are nuclear, but I doubt it. Otherwise, I could attach the quote to a link to a Flash version of Pong or Pacman, because technically, you're playing against the computer.

Besides, the correct quote is "Let us play a game". Old 80's computers don't use contractions, because it sounds cooler.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Speaking of nuclear warfare, do you have Civ3 PTW?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Would you give drugs to a person in rehab? It's my weakness I must avoid. So no. My social life would be in peril should I get involved with another Civ game.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Translation: GMJ wasn't getting any.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I think the fact that it's playing a (simple) simulation of war gives context for War Games.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>So? I'd prefer sex over a game any day.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Errm, for me, I'm not so sure about that. Depends on the mood I'm in and the game (particularilly a new game).</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah but the game you can play anytime, sex on the other hand is somewhat of a rarity for a single guy. (PS, this girl in my french class looks like the girl in your sig.)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The girl in my signature is third in line for the Throne of Sweden =P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You'd have to understand Civ addiction. It's something that can effect any type of person (particularilly guys since for some reason we love strategy games and competition)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>And we all know about girls from Sweeden. :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I think it also depends on if you're single or not.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, they're tall, blond, and very reserved.... Until they get drunk =P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Sometimes a guy can get too much sex.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Thank you. It's a miracle that Sine can find his way home. =8^P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Tessian made the top ten! You geek!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>LoL, I did?? It was only because the dumbass computer put ALL his ships next to each other vertically!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, you took 8th place dammit! Why can't my computer be as dumb as yours! =8^P</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>NO! he can't</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Thank God someone else has his priorities straight. (take that anyway you want)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I think I'm with Der on this one.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt georgia; text-align: left; '>I drive home :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I dunno...I just think it's not enough for official use of a WarGames quote. For example, Seeker starts off the conversation with "Speaking of nuclear warfare", so I know I'm not crazy in thinking that the whole nuclear part is important to the usage of the quote.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Yes, it brings thoughts of nuclear war, MAD and all that. But if it's lacking, I think it's reasonable to stop and think "Well, could it work otherwise?" There aren't rules for this sort of thing...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>You're single and not getting any. So I understand you situation. But there will come a time when too much is too much. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I dunno, I guess you'd have to be the luckiest guy alive to get tired of sex.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>You don't get tired of sex. You just have it regularly. Trust me, once you get some on a regular basis - your sex drive get recalibrated. =8^)</div>
