Have you had any experience with mods for ms word? The visual basic interface can be hard to figure out, but it can really make the gameplay more interesting.

Word is basically Typewriter with better graphics and way way dumbed down for casuals, I can't believe you play that shit. Typewriter was way more challenging, you didn't get do-overs when you fucked up, you had to live with your mistakes. And the mechanics were way less smooth, but that actually added to the experience. In Word it just all goes exactly the way you want it to and you don't have to pay any attention. How boring is that?

Filthy casuals.

Honestly I prefer the other games set in the Office universe -- especially the MMO spinoff.

Not to mention key jams! You have to type fast and accurate but, not too fast too avoid the keys jamming up!

I can't even believe it automatically does line breaks. WTF

You guys liked manually pressing space twice after a full stop? You're stuck in the dark ages, folks. It's time to move on.

MS Word is a game made for casuals while the true hardcore fans and playerbase sticks with pen and paper. MS Word introduced a bunch of features that took all the skill out of what differentiated the good writers from the noobs: Auto-formatting, multi-character selection, and smart spellchecking all built into the game. The skill ceiling is so low now anyone can compete with the best, it doesn't mean anything to be an A+ writer anymore.

Edit: Meh I was beaten to the puch, oh well.

I still play "Stone Carvings". I wish I had money for fancy gaming like you do.

Reminds me of the time I added Microsoft Visual C++ Express to my Steam. I tricked quite a few friends and family there.

Wait what? Honest question, how does your "none steam game" game time gets recorded? I have Starcraft 2 added on it but while it does show "Starcraft 2" when I play it, it never recorded play time !?

I know it's a dumbed down version of Word, but all my friends use Google Drive, so that's what I end up playing mostly.

Can't believe you casuals still play Word. Men play Scrivener.

you think that's tough? try playing pen and paper.

if you want to go old-school, use a quill pen. that's what real gamers do...
