I lost SO many hours of my life playing Duke Nukem 3D. In fact, I dread to think how many man-years went into various computer games, starting with Space Invaders. When I was at 6th Form College, I needed to get two buses home. I worked out it was just possible to get off the 1st bus, run down to 'Lucky Las Vegas', get 9990 on the Space Invaders, and run back just in time to catch the 2nd bus. I did this most days. How sad!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've just uploaded my finished route for MSTS (that's the Pahusett River at www.train-sim.com, there's screenshots of it on their forums). Strictly speaking railways might be viewed as a little more grown up than the Duke (all blokes are little boys at heart, right girls?) but that took three years to polish off. That means statistically I can finish six more and be halfway through another before I die of old age.

 

Oh stuff it. Where's my Duke Nukem CD?

This is what I get for taking time off the blogs...had I just pointed my last couple of dates to this sensible information, things might have gone better. Instead, alas, this available woman has been disappointed yet again. I'm in serious need of a mid-late 40s silver-haired fox with a Lambo with a house and who is ready for a commitment.

 

Or, hey, there's the bar down the hill...lol
