Be a responsible adult and get a job like the rest of us...

 

*Is taking a uni class, and working 2 jobs this summer >_< *

poor you

When I was a Student I took my £745 Student Loan out so that I didn't have to work in the summer. Of course this was before the days of £9000 fees per year and not having maintenance grants.

    I passed all my uni exams, now off until September

    woooohooooooo

     

    now I'm suffering from post-exam I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-myself

    Roller coaster park :smile:

    I have heard things about that game...

    Good grief!

     

    I can't believe you said that. A game? NO.

     

    Step away from the pooter and GO to a Roller Coaster Park. Have fun.

     

     

    we don't have those

    the strategy I heard for roller coaster tycoon was to have a really steep downhill so people went really fast and were happy and increased your parks rating, and then the people get launched into a neighbouring park where the fall to their deaths, decreasing the happiness and success of that park

    that borders on dwarf fortress where people ran into the ethical problems of breeding merpeople for their valuable bones

    I played Sim City once.

     

    My Sim got up, got clean and dressed, had breakfast, went to work, came home, made dinner, tidied up and went to bed.

     

    The next day they did the same. And the next.

     

    So basically I was using my free time to play something where I had no free time.

     

     

    I didn't play it again.

    I could never really be bothered playing with my sims. I just liked building houses.

     

    I also have two free Alton Towers tickets. And they have a shiny new rollercoaster called the smiler...

    I never played the Sims. I did play the original Sim City where you built the city. I always set it up for the most natural disasters ( it even ad a Godzilla attack) the actual building and planning was kinda dull but the destruction was usually funny.

    My sims never behaved themselves.

     

    They're never happy and I tried so hard to please. They keep holding protests and leave leaving my city destroyed by Godzilla

    I like the Populous Type Games, where you grew your civilisation and helped them learn how to build cities and post and do science.

     

    I wasn't too keen on the having to attack the next village and just preferred the growth and improvement periods.

    it's been Eisteddfod preparation time here for the last week so I've been rather restricted on DM time

    You are Welsh?

     

     

    no but the did come from there, the Bishops headmaster at the time thought it was a great idea so he put it in place here and it's grown ever since

    Singing and things?

     

     

    Also ... I have purchased Civilisation IV and it is on its way to me. I played the demo version available to download online and can tell that it will be very helpful in passing the time.

     

    It is a little known fact that Romans were Buddhists and they built Stonehenge.

    I reread the history they put on the Eisteddfod booklets today:

     

    so basically we had the singing for over 10 years before the start of the Eisteddfod, and also speech competitions and whatnot throughout the year for English and Afrikaans. Then a teacher from Eton came along on a visit (I don't know if it's still done but I remember their choir coming here once) and suggested it to the then headmaster (the teacher had welsh origins). Then all the random other competitions got lumped together with the singing, some other stuff was added and the Eisteddfod was born

     

    oh wait do you mean the recording of the house singing, I was going to do that now too

     

    good to hear you liked Civilization :)
