LOL @ the "emotion engine". "Thats what death sounds like to me." That part cracked me up. So, Chris, that's just a sound your computer makes? Like the actual components inside? Ha!

Since some of us are doing the shameless RL face reveal, I thought I'd throw mine out too for fun. This is me. ...partying with an artistically desaturated ghost of Ray Charles? Why, yes. Yes it is.

Yeah, I recently made the switch from Firefox to Chrome but I am pleased with it. My main selling point is how much faster it is on my system. It seems like a huge boost. You know you can set it to open new windows as tabs, also? I don't know anything about a WYSIWYG editor, so I can't speak to that. Yeah, the switch killed my mouse gestures as well, but I found a program online that boots up with windows for mouse gestures. You create your own, so all I have to do to start Steam is make an S shape, or a V for Ventrilo, C for chrome, etc. It's pretty handy, and has a cut-off mode for gaming so you're not accidently opening programs while playing something. It's called gMote. http://www.handform.net/gmote.php

Thanks for reading my email about the missent work email, thumbs -- it's so weird to hear internet people say your name...on the internet. But also righteous that you guys fairly read as much mail as you can! All thumbs up!

Haha, indeed, but I was surprised by how little of a reaction I got back. I got an email from the marketing director of that department basically advising me to watch what I send through email and that everyone in her department received it - not to mention anything sent through email in a government entity is public record, so it was available for local media to publish as well, haha. I was extremely surprised I didn't get ANYTHING other than that. I kind of felt obligated to follow up with her and I tell her it was all related to gaming. I mean, "slob shooter" is one of those open to interpretation kind of words, eh? But alas, I still have my job so oh well!

Hello! Stumbled across Thumbs about 3 months back and have gotten addicted to the podcasts. I'm the guy whose email the Thumbs read back in podcast 32 about sending "slob shooter, gamer-grub feedbag and strategy chocolates" via email to a different department at my job by accident. Lol. I grew up playing Nintendo systems but once I got my first 75 MHZ Hewlett-Packard, I was sold. I moved on to Team Fortress Classic for about 10 years (!!!) and various other games and now just video games! So hey
