Does anybody else feel bitter dissapointment when they refresh their game menu and find that nobody has made a move in any of the games.
Similarly, do you feel a euphoric rush of excitement if there are games available to be moved in...
I know I do.
I'll be back soon to see what you say about this...maybe this is the big one, maybe this post is going to get everyone talking ...maybe some nut job will hurl abuse at me...maybe someones going to be denial and call this all psychobabble... oh yes...refresh! refresh! refresh!
Of course I'm not affected by any of this.
Edit: Well maybe not as much as some people.
