Title: You know you're a ShipSim Addict when ...
Post by: Denis on July 23, 2008, 22:30:54

You know you're a ShipSim Addict when at work, if you have several computers on your desk, you start Ship Sim full screen on one, launch the Furie in free roam at full speed straight ahead through 4 meters waves, and let it run the whole day just as a screen saver ...

Don't smile, I did that today .... Nice screensaver indeed :)

Don't hesitate to post below if you have another proofs of shipsim addiction :)

When your eyes literally water at the Virtual Sailor Titanic due to how dreched in errors it is.

Makes you appreciate the Titanic we have doesn't it? But at least there is a VS Titanic at all.....
Anyway.......back to topic  ::)

I think the topic is turning into one about wasting electricity ;D.

Lol they don't use that much. My lights are allways off though.

Well, it is better to leave them off rather than keeping them on. Who plays XBOX360 at 1 o'clock in the morning ;D? Why must you keep them on at night ;D?

*cough* Global Warming *cough* :P

Bad throat Carl? :D ;D *cough* Greenhouse Gases *cough, cough*

Even worse throat Jack? :D ;D *cough* Carbon Emissions *cough, cough, cough*

:P

All exelent points, but is there a cold going around the forum ;D? I think that you guys should take some tilonel or something to relieve your aching throats ;D. I will make you all some tea ;D. ROFL

I always have my xbox 360,tv and pc on, AND my battery powered clock  :o, but I dont pay the electrical bills LOL

Yes, but who do you think pays the electric bills ;D?

*Begins sobbing uncontrolably*

:'( Having no model is better than that! :'(

:'( Because people who don't know what she really looked like think that's accurate! :'(

Listing its errors will probably cheer me up! ;D

(that model is so full of errors, I called it "it," rather than "she")

No, it was America and White Star Line flags on her masts, which is strange, she was an Irish ship which was registered in Liverpool.......

Post by: LucAtC on July 25, 2008, 13:59:45
Yes, that question has already been discussed in your topic "Irish or American' (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,7255.0.html).
Now, this topic was about  ??? ShipSim addiction, not about Titanic addiction, nor belittling other games or criticizing them.
Regards,
Luc

I was responding to a question asked by pauljanaway and responding to RMS Gigantic, i was not the one that went off topic.

When you eyes literally water at the Virtual Sailor Titanic due to how dreched in errors it is.

Seriously! I can't take it! She deserves better than that :'(

If you look at the messages before this post, you'll see that i was incredibly random and off-topic.

Ok, i'll be honest, i am litrally addicted to ship sim hehe. But the main thing is that i enjoy it, because of the nice people on MP and on the forum, its a nice community here. Most of the time.

The "When" was continuing from the "when ..." in the title.

I'm addicted to Ship Sim (in case anyone hadn't noticed) :P

4 Movies, hundreds of hours of testing, and a little bit of time spent on the forum: 63 days, 14 hours and 29 minutes :D :D

I was thinking of doing a Ship Sim screensaver, but I never really use screensavers, so it would probably be a waste of time ::) ;)

Carl.

"Don't Cha Wish Your Game Was Hot Like Ship Sim?" :D

Ok, I'm sad I know ::) ;D

What if someone set a Titanic video to "Don't Ya"?

I would, but I'm not sure how to edit videos :P

Yes, the record is DJM:63 days,17 hours and 2 minutes.

He also holds the record to the most posts:7,040 posts at the moment ::).

How do I know this you ask and why do I care? Because I am the record keeper ;D.

How? He just posts everywhere ;D!
