20 things you can do
─────────── ──────────────────────────
while the game is loading from the tape
Only smug lovers of easy
life use a disk drive. We are cool
guys, we still use cassettes,
because they are cheaper and look better
more sexy (what kind of little ones there are)
what holes!) So, you can...
01. Read the description of the game while it is
loading. I think it's better to know
control keys, than to steam, dusty
trying to feel for "Fire"!
02. Eat some cakes. They must
we definitely need to use cream, although
At worst, puff pastries will do. Post-
be careful not to drop crumbs into the keyboard
ru because they may not be the best
way to influence its performance
ness.
03. Adjust your hair while looking in the reflection
on the monitor. Of course there's not much there
can be seen, but if you look closely,
then you can see the outline of the hairstyle.
True, sometimes this can lead to
what will be on your head
"explosion at a pasta factory." If
If you're going to squeeze pimples, it's better
use a regular mirror.
04. Go into the living room and watch "Helen"
and guys" for five minutes. And in
then break off cruelly,remembering
that you downloaded Football Manager 2,
whose download needs to be paused
to pass the advertising
naya screensaver. When you return to
your room, you will see it on the screen
blinking curb.
05. Cut your fingernails and toenails.
See point two in relation to ob-
nail cutting.
06. Engage in masturbation. If the sounds are blocked
If the signals will disturb you, then turn it off
sound from the tape recorder and good
jerk off.
07. Engage in masturbation again.
08. If you have some "plastic" lying around
“on”, then you can curse him. Towards the end
loading you will be ready for the transition
yes to virtual reality.
09. Imagine that you are flying close
sun on out of control
ship in Elite. And this is the radiation from
stars causes all these funny effects
defects on the curb.
10. Go to the store and buy some chips.
If there wasn't a line, and the chips would have been...
is it on sale, you'll be just in time
by the end of the download (and eat delicious-
whom, while you listen to the intro music -
ku).
11. Go to the store again because
forgot to buy beer.
12. Play a shitty pocket electric game
throne game until it loaded
the game you are waiting for.
13. Try to remember what you missed
til interesting things on TV when
spent the whole evening sitting at theirSpeccy.
14. Play a charming tune on
flute, whistle or any other
a small wind instrument. Inte-
I wonder if you can play in one
keys with loading sounds?
15. Try to tune into a radio station
tion so that the tuning sounds are
in unison with the loading sounds that
you can hear now. Try to stream-
tune in to this frequency. M.C.
RADIO is a good choice (Haha).
16. Take some acid. While I'm loading
Rainbow Islands is compressed in 128' mode
meh, this will be the best game ever
the ones you've ever played
(at least you won't be loaded
huddle, what else could you do?)
17. Light a cigarette. This is perhaps when
Yes, it will kill you, but usually
during the time it takes to smoke a cigar
Yes, the game manages to load.
18. Insert a cassette with Claw-
finger - listening to music can
distract you from the tedious waiting.
19. Call work and say that
take the day at your own expense. Use-
those remaining three minutes in order to
to order pizza with shrimp and
beer.
20. Look out the window and dream about
you guys will have a great fuck on Saturday
in the evening.
And remember that you can't do anything...
those make of this if you have dis-
leader! So, which one of us is the sucker? ────────────────────────
