IRC doesn't have pretty graphics to look at, maps to download, or a picture of a pair of drunk, singing combine

Plus lots of chat distracts me from mapping.

Just noticed - 100 posts

Fun fact: it took me 5 minutes to post just this little bit of text. Not because I'm bad at typing, but because I'm bad at communicating. I wrote and erased at least 20 versions of this.

Even after posting it I might go back and change a few things, dunno.

That's why I don't hang out on IRC. It's...awkward.

Which is different from taking five minutes to write a forum post?

(Total time: 30 seconds, while watching TV.)

because (aside from the fact that he told us) noone would KNOW it took him 5 minutes, on irc it would be quite obvious that he was a blabbering moron when it comes to communicating, ie: he probly rethinks what he thought a bunch of times.
here you can type it a bunch of times. hit preview. rethink it. retype it. hit preview again, then post it.. THEN once you read it on the actual post and relize you wrote something retarded (atleast in your mind) you can hit edit and turbo edit it again

like hamster its not a typing speed issue. i type 70wpm+ on a bad day. but once i hit "submit" i can always go back and undo/change/make it like it never happened by hitting edit. once you hit "enter" on irc. your word becomes stone.

From all the snippets msleeper has posted it sounds like IRC has been invaded by that spambot glados unit from that terrible off-topic thread.

I'd be more than happy to use steam chat with you, the TWP group chat... but no one uses it so i don't even bother. I don't want to have to install YET another 3rd party program when I already have two perfectly good chat programs installed ie msn and steam... oh and theres always the forum, why not put a shout box up?

Hey, she's actually beginning to post coherently now! Kinda spooky. Hope she doesn't get any ideas about neurotoxins.
