A traditional, house-hold favorite of my clan's forum games, the up, side, down, game. Here are the rules:
Rule #1:
^ = Answering someone's question
< = What you are currently doing now, or what you have done recently
V = Your very own question that the user below you will answer
Rule #2: Do NOT post "also" questions! This means that: e.g. You are drinking a glass of tea, so you would ask the question, "also drinking tea?" This is a giant no-no among my people. Be creative!
Rule #3: This is not a truth-or-dare game! Do not post questions that will make the user uncomfortable, such as sexual questions, or those that the below user deems inappropriate. So don't ask these questions please.
Rule #4: Of course, do not flame, spam, or abuse. Typical rule in every thread.
Since I'm the starter, I cannot ask a question, so...
<: Posting this thread
V: Are you going to watch the new movie Twilight at 12:00 AM, or when the crowd is smaller?
< Finally attaining the bravery to check out my 1000th post. Whenever I show something to anyone, I just want to forever burn what I have made and go live in a rabbit hole, safe from all embarrassment and become an idol for off the grid living.
V You've got a cosy little cottage on a lakeside next to a mountain and a forest. But you only get 50 kWh of electricity a month. Do you move in?
^ It's hard because I don't listen to music that much. I sometimes listen to Viva la vida, Undercode's hero and paradise (coldplay). They all give me a sense of nostalgia, daydreams and thoughts of what could've been.
^ I'm neutral about other people's nostalgia, it's people's choice what to spend time on. I learned to be as little sentimental and nostalgic as possible - from the future taking only lessons. Focusing on what's right now and what's going to be.
^ At the moment that's Fallout 2. I like that in literally every place you visit, you change its destination, either for better, or worse. It's incredibly sophisticated if it comes to alliances and consequences.
< Chilling to Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack and playing the game. Hmm CivV you say? If it's that good I maybe gonna buy it. From this series I played only good old 3.
V Your best year in the history of computer games?
^ On most situations rational thinking + action is what helps me: analyzing and a few minutes of planning on how to get out of a dump, then of course executing this! But often this alone won't work or just can’t be forced. I visit my buddies, especially a dude that I know for 20 years, but usually I'd dodge seeing them when feeling really unwell. Confiding is not my thing - rather drinking beers and encouraging them (and me) that nothing really happened (break from rational thinking :P ). Playing games only helps when I really have to forget about a failure and give myself a time to recharge motivation (otherwise a pause). If nothing else helps, I just train to vent, it's the least pleasant but very efficient method to improve mood. The last thing: rest.
A few words on this rational thinking: on one hand I don’t deceive myself (yeah… when not drinking with buddies) with overly positive thinking. On the other hand I fight with pessimism before it sprouts. Only REALLY important tasks I support with a pessimistic realism (+ action looking like a mild OCD).
< Going to sleep. Zoo Tycoon, I remember that game! xD The first part from 2001. I played a free demo and then full. Also lost somewhere in time and places.
^ Wow, you really left me with a choice, eh? One hundred duck-sized horses. But I'm guessing this is with my bare hands. I'd go for the big duck if I had a loaded gun or something.
< Geography! Yay!
V Who would win in a fight: a two-headed dinosaur or robotic bigfoot?
