Hello, fine folk,

I'm 14 and I'm from Lithuania. My favorite roguelikes are IVAN, ADOM and... Cracks and Crevices(dunno why, but I just like it).

Currently, I'm developing a roguelike called Stones&Dwarfs... it'll be in playable state pretty soon, and will have a couple of pretty original features...

My non-roguelike favorite games are UFO:Enemy Unknown (simply the best, play it now if you haven't played it yet), Diablo II and Starcraft.

I see pretty friendly people out here... and I already know the user beam from elsewhere.

Cant help but think on a buncha cool looking people dancing kapoeira

(or soccer )

That's a brasilian sport, not portuguese. Everyone's maniac about soccer (futebol - football - it's called here), except me apparently. I was glad we got kicked out from some championship (euro?) pretty quickly. I'd more than had enough... sheesh. Everyone's so bloody patriotic when all they've got to do is drink beers and cheer on the couch at home. When it comes to actually doing something to improve and otherwise VERY sucky country, noone moves a finger. Or a penis. Yeah, I said penis. That's how mad I get. Bah.

Yeah I went to Portugal just after they got eliminated from Eurocup and everything was full of portuguese flags...we watched Spain vs. Italy in a bar and cheered and everyone was eyeing us with envy, hehe.

I'm English and I'm glad we didn't even qualify!
What is the obsession with a small (relatively) round thing you kick around with your feet? I like my balls to be oval(ish) - yup, rugby (second row forward) or American football (don't laugh - tight end), and I used to play both.

I got to see the first regular season NFL game in the UK, and I'll be going to the next as well, much more fun that football (soccer) (there were supporters of pretty much every team in the NFL and they all got on well with each other... Football supporters always seem to be hateful people, at least shortly before/after or during the game... And the hooligans...)

But I digress...

Hmmm.. soccer is pure emotion, rugby and american football is turn based gameplay

[Scautura]

American Football is turn-based, I'll agree... But rugby and soccer have pretty much the same amount of stoppages so if one is, so is the other.
Besides, have you ever seen a rugby player rolling around holding his shin/calf/ankle/knee after diving when someone came within 3 feet of him? What about a soccer player with a dislocated shoulder (think goalkeeper for equivalent use of hands) staying on the pitch to finish the match just because he can (here's looking at you Johnny...)

I set up a court and tried to teach some bolivians basketball. They just started kicking my ball around after a few minutes.
And whats wrong about American football being turn-based? Don't we all like turn-based games here?
