Yaaaawn.......

I think the trick is to just forget anything's happening at all. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at it so it's still part of my daily ritual. Maybe I'll start looking every other day and start to acclimate myself to the idea that it doesn't matter. Then I'll try once a week...then once a month...then eventually I just won't give a damn.

Aaaaaahhh....who am I kidding? Uru gets in your blood.

In the meantime, we wait...............

Yaaaaawn.........

Have fun with Myst V on the big TV. Not long ago I hooked up Uru on my high def TV and I must say it was pretty awesome. I didn't play for long but once I complete my relocation I plan on going through EoA and Uru CC in their entirety on the big screen. It's pretty cool. Unfortunately, you can't tweak the graphics to the extreme of something like Quake IV but it's still pretty nice. The one thing I didn't do was play it through the surround sound theater system. I bet that'll add LOTS of ambience. I can't wait to try it.

In the meantime......we wait. I'm almost tempted to organize a group of explorers to play through Uru all over again. It's not the greatest idea I've ever heard, and ordinarily it wouldn't do much for me....but, then I thought, 'Hey. How many times have you gone through the game on your own?' And truth be told, I've never played any of the ages with another person which seems crazy since that's what it was all about. I'd love to go through the Ages from scratch and record a bunch of it with Fraps or something.

Anyway.........still waiting. No new posts by the DRC....no word from Sharper..........

Yaaaawnnn.........

I think Victor heard us yawning Professor Very Happy

http://www.drcsite.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=210

So I wonder what the deal is with this proposal? Is it an effort to get us all together again in the cavern or something else?

I turn my back for a half hour dinner break at work and Victor posts. Ain't that always the way?

Well, it is a very interesting post because it deals specifically with us explorers. So, they continue to be aware of our presence. Good to know. As to what he's alluding to as "problematic" is anyone's guess. The worst case scenario is that they don't want anyone in the Cavern while the DRC renews itself. I believe this is fairly unlikely. They may want to reorganize how things are done down there....some kind of head-count maybe....some way to track the Explorers who are down there so each and everyone can be accounted for.

A proposal to discuss the scattering of people....don't think it's about keeping anyone out.....don't think it's about recruiting more (though it could be, it's doubtful).....so I'm thinking organization....creating some uniformity of access. Originally they had some control over who had access to Ae'gura and when. Jeff threw a monkey wrench in the works when he began facilitating Yeesha's Call and allowing Explorers a "back way in". At this point no such monkey wrench exists so perhaps they're going to take advantage of that vacancy.

Speaking of which.....I wonder what Yeesha thinks of all this new activity. I'm sure she is keeping a watchful eye. I don't know how far Doug got in his Journey (I'm sure he still had/has a ways to go before he catches up to Phil.) Still, I always assumed Phil had the potential of coming in contact with Yeesha much more frequently than us. I wonder if Sharper has that distinct pleasure as well. I'm just supposing out loud. But, if we look at the two camps, and I use this term very loosely, we're seeing some rumble of activity from the DRC, but what's happening on the other side of things? Since Phil is missing, Doug's our only shot at learning Yeesha's thoughts on this new activity. Unless Yeesha decides to make an appearance.

Hmmm....Doug, where are you?

When have the explorers not been "problematic?"

Sounds all too familiar to me. Rolling Eyes

Professor Askew · Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 8:57 pm Post subject:

True, Daedalus. I find it interesting that the DRC tolerates us (Explorers) at all. I mean, why did they ever invite people down there in the first place? Sure, Zandi found some folks an alternate port of entry. But, even those invited by the DRC kind of had the run of the place (barriers aside). I wonder what their original intentions were and if they plan on resuming said plans once this "problematic" issue has been dealt with.

I suspect that the reference to "scattered groups" would be the groups originally referenced in this bulletin:

Professor Askew · Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 11:21 pm Post subject:

As I stated at the DRC forum, I am very excited about the DRC's return and the possible resources they might bring with them to renew with vigor their exploration efforts. I have been in and out of the Cavern now for over two years and I've made no headway into discovering or accessing new territory. (I can say, however, that I've made quite a study of what is available.)

I will hold my concerns in check for now and see what unfolds.

Did anyone notice that Chris Clement, aka the mysterious ResEng141, is apparently back from his trip to Colorado? He has posted in the explorers' reply thread.

Well, Marie is right... Kodama and Laxman certainly haven't changed much.

I feel like I've heard this Blake name before...... but maybe my head is making up memories again Confused
