		<description>1st a bad joke..

Batman came up to me and he hit me over the head with a vase and he went T&#039;PAU! I said &quot;Don&#039;t you mean KAPOW?? He said &quot;No, I&#039;ve got china in my hand.&quot;

Am quite impressed with the Ready-Up site which in turn is a credit to the gaming community and industry. Keep it up El (+ crew)

Warmest Regards 

S

P.S Yes yes i know, the joke was poor. What can i say i have a weakness for bad jokes. *Hangs head in shame</description>

		<description>I loved those slidey games! I often wonder if they were a way to secretly train spies for the next generation during the cold war 80&#039;s....or it could be me watching too much alias :)</description>

		<description>I remembered a while ago that they had a line of Transformers Choose Your Adventure books.  Well, they weren&#039;t as long as the ones you&#039;ve got (less than a hundred pages), but those were good.

Also, one of those books had an adventure that took place in Hawaii of all places.  And I have it somewhere in my house!  I must look for it later.</description>

		<description>Maybe they weren&#039;t bothered about you as they&#039;re used to people? And, yes, you&#039;re right they&#039;re left to get on with things after a while. 

Method? Tch, that takes away the appeal of it! And by that I mean knowing there is one, out there, removes the challenge and makes it pointless. Well, it does!

I don&#039;t mind washing up... OK sometimes I do but it is quite soothing and is a time when I think of stuff and come up with ideas. So, um, yeah.</description>

		<description>Oh I loved sliding puzzles so much, but it is really interesting to see the mixed feeling towards them here! They often crop up in games, making me happy all over.

Uzi, the parents were on the beach and pretty close, but they didn&#039;t seem too concerned, I was wondering if it had been sort of rejected, which makes me sad. I saw a fluffy white baby too, and that one was being closely guarded, so maybe once they go grey they are left to grow up a bit.

I have done 4 sides of a Rubik&#039;s cube but never more, as Uzi said I think you have to have a method from the start or it will never happen!</description>

		<description>Skill: &quot;I play games the same way i live my life&quot;

See, the reason I play games is to do exactly the kind of things I&#039;d never do in real life.

Shooting people, running people over, killing aliens with rayguns - all these things are so humdrum for me thanks to my daily life, so that&#039;s why I like wacky games where you can do off the wall things, like doing the washing up in The Sims.</description>

		<description>&quot;Mama needs a new pair of socks.&quot;

My brain slides just fine, but I can only do two-thirds of a Rubik&#039;s Cube. :/

I play games the same way i live my life;
I try to identify what rules are in place,
which rules can be bent and which broken,
and then seek to &#039;master&#039; the environment,
becoming expert within the worldspace and unlocking the &#039;good&#039; ending. :)

Achievements are nice too. And a long Friend&#039;s List. ;)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve only ever been able to complete one side of a Rubik&#039;s Cube.  You had to complete one side and get T&#039;s all around that side&#039;s edges in order to be able to implement the &quot;easy&quot; method of solving the rest.  I was never able to get all of the T&#039;s.

Pretty stones on your beaches.  We only have sand (and odd garbage).  Not even many seashells, anymore.

Where was the baby seal&#039;s mother?  Aren&#039;t they supposed to be very protective?</description>

		<description>I used to read those Choose Your Own Adventure books.  Yes, I managed to get my hands on the very first one and it&#039;s sequel.  And yes, I cheated too by doing what you did.  I have one or two of the super-deluxe editions as well.

I didn&#039;t know your house was by the beach.  Lucky you.  I can&#039;t really tell if that is a seal though.  I keep squinting, but can&#039;t pick it out.</description>

		<description>Fuck, I adored Choose Your Own Adventure books and still have some of my collection.  You would never see them published in these coddled, pc strangled days though...all the gruseome deaths!  

Also loved the Interplanetary Spy, Mystery Squad, and other &#039;flick about page&#039; books as I called them :)  And yes, I used to go back if I got a crap ending too :D  I also liked to read all the nasty ones and enjoyed the pictures of the bukket/knife/acid/ghosty deaths....wow, so games didn&#039;t corrupt me...it was books ;)</description>
