Trust me, once you try it, you'll never play anything else again...

Yea, I tried that, didn't like it too much...

I disagree, UncleDave. I've been playing that one for quite some time but still find the need to augment it with other types of MMORPGs.

I did quite good in it though...I attained the rank of 'area manager', amased a _small_ fortune, successfully used the 'marriage' function and raised two n00bs.

I experienced most of the 'leisure' activities that the game has to offer and have been to a lot of the locations in the game that have appealed to me.

It is quite good but I think Vendetta may give it a run for it's money!

I dunno, I found it to get really tedious after a while...

I think it's buggy. I found one just a few hours ago. Every day my client randomly shuts down for a few hours, only to restart about 7 hours later. Somebody should contact Real Life's devs.

I totally and completely suck at that game...

The community is a bunch of assholes. Thumb's down from me.

I agree with SL, Real Life is pretty weak. Too many characters, no plot and is really slow.

Super awesome! 4 and a half thumbs up! I can't get enough of it!

Right now I'm trying to beat this "College 2.0" expansion pack.

Have any of your tried "Outside 3.0?" I hear it's really good.

Woo first pk. :P

"Venio, video, vinco"? Blah, doesn't sound as good... :P

That was already posted a year or 2 ago...

Ok, heres a real one. www.conqueronline.com

Which would translate into:
"I come. I see. I conquer."

You're right, it doesn't sound as good as the original...

Wouldn't that translate into: "I came, I saw, I conquered"?

Isn't that quote what Julius Caesar said and it meant the translation I gave?
Apr 04, 2004 red cactus link
Nope. The original quote by Caesar was this: "Veni. Vidi. Vici.". Those are the perfect indicitive first person singular forms of the verbs. Which means it translates to "I came. I saw. I conquered.". Now, the quote that was posted earlier is the present indicitive first person singular, meaning it translates into "I come. I see. I conquer."

Don't mess with my Latin III skills. :p

Bah, Latin II here... -.-
Apr 04, 2004 electric27 link
/me hates Latin. I can read a passage and get a good, general idea of what's being said, but I can't translate word-for-word, which is a problem.

PS That game looks cool, they need to port it to Mac.
Apr 04, 2004 red cactus link
Heh, likely the problem you're having translating word for word is that you can't. For example:

English: The soldier came home hating war.
Latin: Militis domi sui venit non amans bellum.

Militis = The soldier
domi sui = to his [own] home
venit = he/she/it came
non amans = not liking
bellum = war

You see the problem? :p

Post script: sorry for any grammatical errors, I just knocked this sentence out in about 5 seconds, and I don't feel like looking up the chapter on participles to make sure I have that right.
