@SolidTy: hello yourself

@zyxe: good to be back and good to see you again.

@GSJones1994:

good to hear from you.....I never played Earthbound b

any game that has Tales of as the first words is worth playing!

I've played several of the Tales of Games but not the very first which is Phantasia.

@VintAge68: it is good to be back Alexandra.

I missed this place and some of the people. you are one I did miss.

on other forums I've been encouraging Greece to stand firm and not let the German banking cartel bully them into 50 years of penury. I reckon if they stand firm the other nations who are in problems due to the Euro will take heart and possibly Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Estonia and Cyprus? I talked to people in Malta and Greece but I haven't had contact with either for a couple of years now since conditions worsened. so I have to follow the news to keep up to date on conditions.

@Spinnerweb: seems like everyone is either too wet or too hot. I'm also too hot.

that is the way forums go though, people come and go. but it is good to be back here ...Gamespot was always my favourite spot.

@BravoOneActual: the girls keep you in line and that is a cool name for a drink.

I would freeze with the AC down that low.

@zazern: World of Warcraft has a free trial. I think 10 days or up to level 20 and although there are some limitations in place it gives a good idea of what to expect.....if you want a family friendly game that tries not to allow crudity and blocks bad language there is Wizard101 which also has a free trial. GuildWars 2 is another popular MMO and the advantage of this one is that it is one of the very few free to play games that genuinely is free to play unlike most of the so called F2P games that are dominated by the players who can afford to buy the most extras with real money

other than the scientific fact that the world has not shown any trend towards warming over the last century.

the man made Global Warming scam has however made guys like Al Gore rich(er) while they use tonnes of electricity - enough in his mansion to keep a small city powered.

but then if you want to listen to scare mongers rather than scientists and use insults rather than arguments that is your choice

I can't believe there are still people who fall for the man made Global Warming scam.

they accidentally have the truth but not man made - we are entering one of the natural cycles and appear to in the early stages of Global Cooling just as we were warned about some 40 years ago.

The sun is at an ebb right now - it has been reported that there is a low similar to the last mini ice age with a lack of sun spot activity so there is less solar heat reaching us.

in the 1700's there were Ice festivals on the Thames and Washington didn't need to use a boat to cross the Rappahanock (not the Delaware) because it was frozen due to the mini-ice age and could be crossed on foot. Remember the stories of how he and his men suffered in the the unusually long and cold winter.

we are nearing that again.....the warnings I heard during my uni years in the 70s about the onset of Global Cooling were actually the truth - NOT this Global Warming scare which has only been used to line the pockets of a few politicians and their buddies in certain industries.

It will take a long time but the world does appear to be in the early stages of a mini-Ice Age.

In other words......Global Cooling

He has never had poutine, Tims Bits or coffee from Tim Hortons.
