All I know is it was a bloke but now he's a puddle in a crater having fallen from space to his death :toot: .

Not a bad start.

The game starts at the character creation and has you falling in a sequence that I thought was character birth as it talks about being in a dark place that opens up (it sounded like the birthing experience) and you select a gender and it gives you the option to go faster so I said "Yeah lets get this over with" and it turns out you're actually falling from space and I'd decided to speed up and plummet to my doom.
I didn't even get to select my stats or make him look like a freak show before his organs were liquefied on impact.

I enjoyed a spur-of-the-moment day out at Hastings yesterday with a couple of pals. Great weather, a bit of grub and a few laughs.

Worst-ever "I have a friend" post etc.

Ya know, when we were travelling down there I thought that a GRcadian or two lived in Hastings. I think the place is great! It feels like some coastal places have suffered a little in recent years but Hastings seems to have evolved and remains a fine place to visit.

I really like Hastings and I'm quite envious of folk who live there. I don't drive so I only visit a couple of times a year with friends... and I always enjoy it. Disappointed not to see any GR logos about the place though, obvs.

Glad you liked it :D

Yeah, it is a good place for Hipster bearded types especially around Warrior Square and George Street.

I like the idea of living near the sea (even though I have to really cover up from the sun). Do you find that the place is a wee bit cold in the winter though, Errkal?

Not really, we have central heating now so it's all good.

I grew up here so it is what I'm used to so can't say I really notice it being super cold or anything. Can be bloody windy though, the seafront is "interesting" when it is like that as the waves can splash over the road and stuff.

You should look at moving down pretty much guarantee you will get way more house for your money (you may even get one without wasps)

Yeah, even though it was wonderful weather yesterday, the wind was whipping along the front!

:lol: . I do like the idea of coastal living although, certainly at the moment, family, friends, job-hunting and being a non-driver link me to the London area. Maybe in the future that could change, though.
