Why would I "Quit" Blockland?

Sheath:
Ah okay.

Still, the console is ignored by most children who play the game. If you ask me it shouldn't even be there.

Console window, quit command--- its still not a replacement for a traditional quit button in a game whatever way you look at it.

I'm not sure you appreciate that if you think manually closing the console window or typing the command makes any difference to the point.

I'm 18 and have a lot of things to do

--- End quote ---
no, not really. I haven't done that either.
I'm just curious about the benefits of closing Blockland with the Quit button.

--- Quote from: Wehrmacht on October 23, 2012, 05:17:07 PM ---not to mention all the kids that don't even know console exists and would be extremely confused

Perhaps all those kids wouldn't be able to inform me anyway had I explained it to them.
This part still sounds like a joke to me.

i bet a solid 1/6 of blockland doesn't know what console is and has never used it before.

I bet they don't use the forums either.

I fried a hard drive doing that. Sure it took 6 years but I miss that data

I doubt you fried the hard-drive itself, probably just the file-system and/or a couple of files. Also note that that wouldn't happen with a journaling file-system.

Chrono:
You've most likely spent more time thinking and posting about this topic than you saved by closing it by console.

Edit: And another point, when you click quit, you don't have to wait for it to close, you can alt+tab to something else while it's closing.
