limiting yourself by playing by a set of rules that Starbuzz obviously does not follow, you are simply setting yourself up to be a whiny scrub and should learn how to play.



I read that article a few years ago. It sounds dramatic, but it didn't just change how I play, it changed my life.


Aye, friend. This takes me back to a time where I was working as a physiotherapist at a hospital in Germany during World War II, back in 1997. This particular ward I was assigned to dealt with poor chaps who could not walk due to ailments such as broken legs, cerebral pausy, ingesting 3 bottles of whiskey and the like.

On this particular day, the patients were coming in thick and fast. The sky was a menacing black colour that gave illustration to the morbid song of clanging surgical utensils and franticly given orders.

A fresh patient arrived. While getting up to make a coffee, he stubbed his toe on a couch. The doctor reluctantly glanced at his family and said "I'm sorry, he won't make it". Just before they turned his life support off, I shouted "WAIT, I can save him!"

I reached into my briefcase, and pulled out 3927 copies ofPlaying to Win, by Sirlin.net, flung them in front of the 38M Diamter industrial fan and ran out of the ward waving my arms around like a Windmill and making Zoidberg noises. The propagation of a curious sound emerged, and I slowed my run. Was it hailing? I looked up to the dark sky once more, but no hail was to be seen. The sound grew louder, and louder. It was like the sound of metal clanging against a stone path. I turned around, and so it was.

I stood there, frozen in bewilderment. Hundreds of patients running towards me, their metal leg braces disintegrating and falling to the ground mid flight. I gazed at the sky once more; sunlight pierced through the once dark veil of clouds, and a rainbow most likely created by nyan cat spanned the width of the horizon.

It was then I realised they were my Forest Gump's, and I was their Patch Adams. It sounds dramatic, but it didn't just change how I play, it changed my life.





That was so fucking funny, it bought a tear to me eye with laughter. Thumbs Up Rocked Over
