I go *poof*

Post by Big_Juan_Teh_Furby » Mon 28.10.2002, 09:38

So, I'm around 1k...I stair scum down from 950, right into a pack of water hounds.

"Oshit....heal heal heal!"

Too late.  POOF.  I die.

I ask Domino to come down and save me...he does, but the recall point for 1k and the stairs are right there together...so he shows up, sees hounds, and destructs, as he normally does.

There goes my gear.

Oh well, I'll ghost it for awhile.

So I'm going up and down between 1k and 1050, and pop into a bunch of orcs.  I float around until I figure out where a wall is and start popping in and out.

Then more water hounds show up.

"No biggie, I'll fight 'em until I'm close to death, then I'll float up and rest."

So I hold down the shift key and wait.

BEEP BEEP!  Up comes the interface for sticky keys in Windows 2000.

"NONONONO!  Get that outta here!!"

I get rid of the sticky keys window, and I'm a 5.  It's almost time to go up.

I'm a 4.  Time to float.  I don't move.

"Um....oshit, sticky keys!"

I try to turn it off, but I go poof just before I get it turned off.

Damn you, Accessibility!
