    Hm, you mean suddenly some parts of you have taken over control. And those parts are not inside your head ??? Who would have guessed.

    Yago - That's almost right, but a much earlier game from that same company. :)

    I think it's a Steve Meretzky game. So either Planetfall or sorcerer ?

    heeeeeeeeyyyy, someone who likes Infocom. :cool: :) :D ;) :rolling: :rolling:

    [The first place I ran across it was Zork II, but I think it was in all the Zorks and maybe even others - BTA]

    I think this may be a sign that I'm going insane, but sometimes I talk to myself like I'm designing a website about whatever video game I'm playing. (Not while I play, while I can't.)

    "And then it will have a link to a pop-up with all the different moves he can do, and a reference to all the other games he's been in..."

    Yes. Perhaps I'm seeking my sanity. A personal favourite quote of mine is:
    "I once let my mind wander, but it didn't come back."

    BTA;
    Talking to yourself is a sign of impending mental collapse
    Its in Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy too. I am sure I heard it in my EasyListening of the BBC 1978 radio serial. I confirmed it with google.

    Anyway its indeed a small world. Zork is produced by Infocom in early 80-ties. Infocom also produced the Hitchhiker game by Douglas Adams. Its a small world and google makes it smaller. :)

    I'm dancing with myself, a-a-a, Dancing with myseeeelf......

    *shuts up before someone kills her*

    What about singing to yourself? :D

    I talk too much. I talk to other people when they are not there.

    I am insane. just ask my doctor.

    [​IMG] I think the best saying on the subject is:

    I'm not schizophrenic ... and neither am I.

    Do I talk to my self?
    Thats just like asking if pigs fly..... or was it birds?
    Well, yes i do talk to myself.
    I chose to talk to the wises around me.
    I talk to my self when i'm copying out notes or solving maths problems or ... well most of the time really. But i talk to other "people" just as much, most of the time they don't usually listen though, but thats not the point.
    And talking to your self makes you insane? certainly (note the sarcastic tone), maybe talking to trees and brick walls, but talking to your self i say is a sure sign of sanity not insanity (spelling?)

    Mithrantir, your case is very serious. From what I can see you have suffered a head injury thus making you...hmm how can I say it...insane, crazy. You think that you are talking to someone while this someone is yourself. I suggest you should take this medicine three times per day -morning, noon after lunch and night right before you sleep. Come again in one week to see you.

    :p :p :p

    I talk to myself, and to that other modder in my head...

    I guess i am mad. Just like any other Sorcerer's Place member. I am not alone.


    Madness and genius are separated only by degrees of success.
    (Try finding any game with that phrase...)

    Talking to yourself is something completely natural and common. So everyone rest assured that you're not crazy(with the exception of Mithrantir hehe :p :rolleyes: ).

    [​IMG] talking to inanimate objects can often yield impressive conversation.

    This of course could happen when you're insane but when you're OK in your brains then why's that?
