A beeholder might have a sting in the eye. I don't think that's gonna be a pretty sight though.
|

If the eye is black/blue, then it wasn't.
--edit
Added another color to prevent misinterpretation.

No. Once in a while I still play this game[^] in DOS Box, but the graphics have long become obsolete.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

cRPGs quite bored me, if they are action RPGs as The Elder Scrolls or the new Fallout franchise then I like them a lot, otherwise I prefer the pen and paper version - there is much more variability and you can do almost anything... pity that my group plays less than 5 times per year

When the game master smiles it's already too late

I like how sometimes the party is overconcerned for several minutes and the game doesn't go on because we're too undecided... and the master helps us with the dreaded sentence: roll for initiative.

At least GOG gives you value for your money

Reading the title of the post immediately below this, I began to wonder.
So here's what I was wondering, what is the correct syntax?
CPeon ?
C-Pee on ?
Or what?

Had I prior knowledge that anyone would take this thread in this direction I'd have down-voted myself.

I was more annoyed by the failure to use string.Empty in his sig.
|
|
|
|
|
Or should that have been a String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace()?
|
|
|
|
|
Then you're tying it to a specific version of the framework 
|
|
|
|
|
.NET 4+ should be fine for a recent signature 
Otherwise it should be something like:
if (sig != null && sig.Trim() != String.Empty)
That's .NET 2+
Currently the signature could print:
This is my signature:
And replacing "" with String.Empty isn't going to fix that 
|
|
|
|
|
String.Empty and "" are the same, Microsoft says so[^]
And personally, I prefer to see "" - it's easier to read at a glance IMO.

Empty is the proper convention though, not only for built-in types but it's a convention you're supposed to use for your own types. How do you reference a non-defined Guid? Guid.Empty? Or..... 
As well as convention, string.Empty is static, whereas when you use "" you create a new instance of string (compiler optimisation aside), and we all know that memory alloc and dealloc is a major performance killer.
