Three hours off-line?!?!

Zombie thinks it must have been serious this time.

UnChartered

I recall getting the first game that had proper speech programmed into the intro It took fecking hours for that one sentence, "Welcome to Myth" to load - but we thought it was amazing.

I was also addicted to Those long evenings of the late 80s would hear DH and me shouting "Big bat - get it, get it! You missed it, you knob!!"

how I wasted a year of my childhood

a bit like the 2 seconds i wasted opening that shit link, Daddy

Not quite skyrim...

Manic Miner on the Spectrum here for most of my teenage years..

With that fucking awful soundtrack?!? Argh!

Talc I love that RAND photo. What was the big steering wheel for???

Quenelle - I think it's probably for when the Techie of the Watch comes on duty.

He/she will take the helm and steer MN safely through the choppy waters and bun-fights - pipe clenched between manly/womanly jaws.

Orders could be delivered through the speaking-tube down into the engine room: "More RAM into the gas turbines, please - troll in AIBU!"

See I envisage Tech as more of a Scotty from Star Trek (Original series!).

"I'm giving it all she's got..."

"She canna take much more Captain..."

skyrim has stolen my life.

Carpe - do you reckon when MN goes down, it's a

Ah ok. Thanks Talc.

Otherwise known as a 'mouse'.

GetOrf - is she Turning It Off And On Again?

OYBBK I have so many dragon souls I don't know what to do with them!

Oh I thought they did it for me? I managed to get 6 sponges cooked for ds's birthday tomorrow make soup and play with the toddler and play with the HullyPuppy.

No, Helen is just clouting it hard. Dry joints. That's all they do in MNHQ. Look puzzled, whack it with a great big book, stand back, frown, and then go down the pub.

GetOrf - according to the article that your pic was attached to, that thing is Une bombe de l'US Navy

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE

mumsnet's new computer parts

When was these alleged three hours? I have an alibi.

look lively, they've paid a temp to act as spokeperson

ThorDaddyman - that looks like a sort of computer-based W.I. baking competition.

No, this you cant blame on mnhq. All internet and sms was taken offline as the Queen was touring the capital.

We know you do, Tech. You were propping up the bar.

eh?

what happens when she nips out to lidl M&S then?
