*Sigh* Stuck at work for the first saturday in like 9 years... I've always had a "nine to fiver" and this is just sucking. Nothing to do, nobody wants parts so here I am, trying to pass the time.

For the love of all that is holy and insane, please, entertain me! wallbash.gif

Hey, don't feel to bad. I'm stuck in my office from 7am to 7pm every friday, saturday, and sunday. This(as you could undoubtedly figure) categorically, shoots my weekend to hell(I'm 19 so my weekends are still a precious commodity to me). But do you play chess?(this might seem a little off-topic, but i promise I have a point with this)
Thanodai
I do play chess, but it's been ever so long. However, I do remember liking a good game now and then.

Of course, after my first post I got umpteen things to do. biggrin.gif

Edit: I remember being 19. I would have been livid had my weekends been taken away from me that much.
jojo man
Well, anytime you feel like a game, let me know! We can PM moves back and forth so we can "play" against one another!
Thanodai
I've never played a game of chess like that before and I know I don't remember the board well enough to even attempt something like that. confused.gif

I wish it were that easy. Most everything entertaining is firewalled. The only thing that isn't, at least that I've come across, is youtube, and that's dodgy at best.

And thanks, a buddy of mine found it and sent it to me. It's a clip from the from teaser from Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Unfortunately the clip escapes my best efforts to locate it.

Well we could always use this image as a reference:


And the pieces start like this:


So we could Pm move back and forth with the following naming convention:

Pawn=P
Rook=R
Knight=N
Bishop=B
Queen=Q
King=K

We could issue moves like: P f e2-e4 (Pawn from e2 to e4)
We'de have to be careful though, Keep coordinate letters lower-case and piece letters uppercase. It could work though.

I take my computer to work because I need the graphics card. It's mostly to work on a Thief 2 FM series, but sometimes I play a bit of Oblivion. And you know, it's nice to get paid to play a game.
Speaking of games, enjoy the game of chess....

I'm always open to playing a game if you'de like.

I haven't played chess in years. State law forbids me. The last time I was in a game, my opponent took ages to make each move and I got so aggravated, I smacked him so hard his kids were born dizzy.

Since I'm such a nice guy, I managed to dig this up so you can be entertained this next weekend. Should keep you busy for some time.

My advice:

Next time your at home, DL this. Then bring it to work on a flash-drive! tongue.gif

Remember, if your boss is coming, "Tab" and "q" are your best friends! yes.gif

Now that's what I need. At least it'll keep me awake, and hopefully alert enough to enjoy a game of chess with Jojo.
