Reading Shakespeare is somewhat akin to attempting to eat a bag of flour.

Merricat · 06-06-2008, 12:43 PM

You (probably) frequently quote from Shakespeare's plays without even knowing that you're quoting him.
And the sonnets are amazing, as well.

Mind you, I say that as someone who loves language.

Giligan · 06-06-2008, 01:26 PM

Probably. He's arguably the greatest wordsmith of all time, with a great influence upon the English language. I simply do not find his writing to be... palatable.

Squinky · 06-06-2008, 01:54 PM

It's okay. I feel that way about Tolkien.

All the world's an adventure game, and we are just players. Some have their entrances and their exits and their stupid puzzles

Squinky · 06-06-2008, 02:35 PM

I've always thought of the world as more of an MMO, actually.

RLacey · 06-06-2008, 03:22 PM

Indeed.

Giligan · 06-06-2008, 03:57 PM

I think it's definitely an action-adventure. I'd go with first-person shooter, but there aren't enough evil geniuses to go around.

RLacey · 06-06-2008, 03:59 PM

Go see if you can climb Oxford's chapel like Lara Croft would, there's a good lad.

Squinky · 06-06-2008, 04:09 PM

Does he have super bouncing man boob technology?

Giligan · 06-06-2008, 04:10 PM

Hopefully not, but I wouldn't know.

Not A Speck Of Cereal · 06-06-2008, 07:41 PM

So you say...

Oxford's chapel?

You do realise that there are quite a few chapels in Oxford, right? Like... one in almost every college?

Merricat · 06-07-2008, 03:59 AM

Best get started now, then. Call us when you've finished. We'll just stay here, torturing the thread.

Giligan · 06-07-2008, 07:37 AM

Quite right. You can be like that French dude that climbs skyscrapers and gets arrested every time.

Trumgottist · 06-07-2008, 07:45 AM

Gustave Eiffel?

Giligan · 06-07-2008, 07:45 AM

I don't know his actual name. I believe he's known as "Spiderman", though I could be mistaken about that.
