Uh... yeah.<br><br>I'm pretty sure Kles was <i>joking</i> when he said that... <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[GhostWay]

So? Do you have a point?

[TyVulpine]

yes, this thread has gone way off topic... <!--emo&--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[GhostWay]

Around here, that's expected. In fact the threads most likely to stay <i>on</i> topic are those in "forum games".

yeah, it's dangerous...<br><br>...We already know so much about how dangerous stupidity can be that we often forget how dangerous thought can be.<br><br>...right? Or am I wrong? I dunno. It's more fun to blast things with flamethrowers around here, I guess.

That is pure speculation. If that ever happened, it would be published by Vaporware Inc.<br><br>And besides, I never really liked the Sonic games.<br><br>...I just dug my own grave, didn't I?
