Define Cynical Fan Forums

For all of you SL members, I'm hosting an Ozy & Millie Fans party at my place on the 3rd at 5:00pm Pacific Time (GMT -8). IM me (Felix Uritsky) for a teleport or landmark. Hope to see you all there!

Forgot the quote... fixed now.

You mean you got a new computer?

*sigh* I guess this is as good a time as any to come out of the closet: I went and signed up for that thing a few days ago, more to see if it would accept my PayPal account than anything else. It did. But I knew this computer would never be able to play the thing, so I let it hang. Then last night it occurred to me to try downloading it onto one of the eMacs at the library! It worked, and even ran! So I took the tour and found Felix's place (empty of course) and then visited a place I'd heard about, and then the computer crashed. So I didn't get to do much, but I at least know that I can use the thing from somewhere on campus.<br><br>Incidentally, it just so happens that the library closes promptly at five on Saturdays.<br><br>"And isn't it ironic, don'tcha think?" <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/cry2.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cry2.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I tried to get into it, raelly I did, but MMORPG's just ain't for me. I prefer fast action.<br><br>*continues playing Call of Duty 2*

Guh, dial up. Really, I like some MMORPGs, such as Runescape, but my internet sucks so bad, well, I dunno...<br><br>But it sucks.

Where does the money come from?

Dwell. It's a payment from Linden Labs (made in Lindens) that reflects the traffic your parcels receive (from people who stay for at least three minutes).

Is this real money or game money?

Game money, although I do receive a discount on the monthly land fee (in USD) for having a large amount of traffic to my land.
