I've become a fairly good shot with a blowgun over this last weekend.

Cacti are really satisfying to shoot. The only thing funner than shooting a cactus with a dart is slashing it up with a knife. They're so thick you can really get the knife into them. (introduced varieties - I'm doing nature a favor)

I used to shoot rocks at Cacti with that elastic based rock shoothing thing(don't know it's name in english) whenever we went to my grandfather's old ranch which was surrounded by a bahzillion of those.
It is indeed very fun, we used to see who perforated the most with a single rock.
And I once killed a bird with a rock that way, altough I was just trying to scare it off...(honest...)
:-/

double post edit

And I once killed a frog that way too.
And then some kid told me that the frogs would revenge in the night, that they would come in dozens.
And the next day we got a really big and ugly frog, and my grandfather killed it with a big rock.
And then it misteriously dissapeared after a while.
O_O

Having finally got around to playing Eric The Unready (which Ev has been relentlessly reccomending since I've known him) past the copy-protection (since they cleverly didn't include the manual in the download), I have found it to be most strange.

It feels like a kids' game then it tells me to **** off. So that's mixed messages.

Then I solved a lot of it rather easily but now I'm trapped in a puzzle that feels a lot like the getting-the-babel-fish-from-the-dispenser puzzle in the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy game and then I get killed for taking too long over it. This game is crazy and I demand an explanation.

The last one is actually quite interesting. It accelerated from about 0 to 300 km/h (190 - 195 mph) in a matter of seconds. It had no control since the nitrous boosters would flap around and send it in all directions. Including up, down, around, etc. But rarely forward. Sitting inside it was slightly weird since all I could see was a map spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round. First when I created it, the nitro containers at the back got too little support and became too heavy, so they dragged along the ground. So I decided to add some baloons. It worked like magic, actually, since not only do they lift up the nitro containers, but they also lighten the weight a bit, making the car fly around randomly, which is always fun."

On the plus side, when it got frustating, you could just slap your creature until all frustation was gone
And if that didn't do it, you could always throw villagers around, or throw rocks at them
Or have your creature eat them
:p

:pi always teached my creature to eat villagers. it keeps the towns' population under control :)
i find B&W to be very frustating since being evil clearly wasn't as fun as it was advertised. well yes, it was much more fun than being good, but you didn't get any rewards on missions, i couldn't get everyone to obey me from fear (they either ran or died), and the villagers were still whiny little *****es.
i mean come on, it's THEIR job to build the town and get food/wood and take good care of the crops... otherwise i would've sticked with SimCity.
and using fireballs to turn villagers to your side, although very powerful at long-range, meant lots of rebuilding was in order when the village was yours, or it'd be pretty worthless. though i did get my hand half-evil looking.

oh, and storing the creature stats in the registry was just plain silly when saved games and such weren't. oh yeah, i get to keep my progress and saved games, but now i gotta beat this really hard mission with a worthless creature :rolleyes:

and... meh, i could go on forever ranting about why B&W wasn't as good as it could've been. indefinitely. but i won't :p

From what I understand, B&W1's release was rushed. There has never been even an estimated release date for B&W2, so they're doing things exactly as they want, and everything that was wrong with 1 is being fixed while everything that was right is being improved.

I hope it has cheat codes, so I can just go around destroying everything and stuff ignoring the damn missions

Indeed. Apparently Lionhead's biggest blunder was, believe it or not, giving an estimated release date. Then, as development of the game seemed to be wrapping up, bugs were discovered that then begat more serious bugs; small adjustments to the level of balance required revamping practically every other area of the gameplay, and so forth. In the meantime, the pressure was building because they had gone way past the original planned release date, and finally, about 2 years or so after the game was originally going to be out, they wound up releasing it, bugs and all.

That's why they're not going to give any estimates on B&W 2. Some are saying that we may see it as early as May or August this year, others say it might be out around the holidays, and in reality it may be delayed into 2007 or '08 for all we know.

Meh, everyone knows that by 2008 either robots or aliens will have taken over the world already, so they can't delay it that much.

I'm-a DANCIN' LIKE A MUNKEH!!!!

:pYeah, trouble is, I wanted to play a good god, so I couldn't do that.

The problem is, you're trying to micromanage your village(s) AND look after your creature AND complete all the missions and side-quests, all at the same time.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, the villagers are the worst bit about the game. it's like micro-management taken too far, people who won't do absolutely anything unless you tell them to.
except whining. they whine if you're good, they whine if you're bad, and they whine if you're throwing them around to shut them up :p

mind you, they even got themselves easily killed on mission 4 (the one where you return to your homeland to find everything wrecked). seriously, it seemed like they were attracted to the lightning storms and fireballs. ohhhh, shiny... ZAP!
though, i liked the atmosphere :)

Well, yes, you can't question Lionhead's attention to detail. You can, however, question the fact that my creature forgot how to eat when I started Level 2...

Not really. The majority of people think that IE *is* the internet. The majority of people that don't use IE have brains and intelligent opinions.

I think really to settle this you'd have to ask a representative group of Firefox and Opera users to name browsers they've tried, and then work out from that what proportion of people who've tried both use which.

But of course nobody can be bothered to do that.

Does Deadcode have access to OD?

Actually they do have brains, I can't possibly think of one human that actually works without a brain.




:p

I'm assuming you were kidding as anyone with a brain knows that "they have no brain" is just a term saying they're stupid. Just like "just a minute" is rarely, if ever, actually one minute.

It usually lasts half an hour

This was just featured as the Awful Link of the Day, but I think it's quite amusing, if not extremely weird. It's the ending battle and credits sequence of Final Fantasy VI... re-enacted by game consoles. No, I don't know either. :p

Note: You may want to set aside a good portion of time to watch this, it's incredibly long for the filesize.

As I am having slight problems understanding anything more than about 3 words of that, it tends to drag on.

Ouch. I hope it doesn't get bloated with stuff like that. Opera is a nice browser, I just prefer Firefox, but I don't like it when bad things happen to it :/


Hopefully there'll be an Adobe free version. If not officially then by people messing with it.

IF nothing else there'll probably be one to ease download times. You can get it without java, I think.

Yes. The Sunday Times newspaper is reprinted in an Irish edition. The Magazine, though, isn't. It includes plenty of British ads. So yes, I have seen them.

Never heard of it, and I'm pretty sure I have every Radiohead song.

well, i think i'm gonna restart Deus Ex all over again. to see if i'll ever finish it.
because, if you remember, my most up-to-date saved game got corrupt somehow so all my progress was lost. and, as i recently found out, all the other saved games got the same faith. so it's back to the beginning from me... :mad:
and i was already on Vanderberg, too :(

Now go rar them all and put them up to download :p

eMule, mostly. Betong and Mashimaro (from CL2K) sent me a few. I also download a couple of bootleg compilations of rare/live Radiohead. One was called Towering Above The Rest. Can't remember what the other was called.

Is eMule the same as eDonkey.

No, but Eass is.

Another product of my deranged mind:

And so there were these three guys who looked like chineese waitresses who decided to eat a pile of chile the night before who then exploded into a billion pieces. The force of the explosion was felt as far away as Paris, France, and as near as Belgium, where the explosion took place, disregarding that the guys were in Turkey. Soon, the telephone rang in one of the effected areas, and a big fat skinny guy named Frank got up to pick up the phone when suddenly his left artery exploded and he died in a pile of blood where he was found several years later, so old and decayed that nobody was able to determine his cause of death. In order to attract an audience, the media channels waged wars blowing the event out of proportion and making wild and crazy claims as to why and how this man died. Not one news agency correctly speculated that he died of natural causes, much less from an artery explosion, and not a soul even considered for a moment that this artery explosion was caused by a chili imbalence in his kidney, which it wasn't.

And no, it's not the same with a different shading engine - Link looks normal and his head is in proportion to the rest of his body. And the enemies have nice textures.

I just watch Pulp Fiction this weekend. It's a great movie with excellent dialogue. If you like this movie you should watch the other Tarantino films such as Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs. They are excellent movies. And if you like Tarantino go see Rodriguez films like El Mariachi and Desporado, and defenitely go see Sin City. They are some of my favorite movies. They are very different which is one reason they are so great. I can understand if you don't like them though, because they are quite wierd, but I like that so meh.:p

i now have all of the TIM series games:
- The Incredible Machine
- The Even More Incredible Machine
- The Incredible Machine 2
- The Incredible Machine 3
- Return of The Incredible Machine: Contraptions
- Return of The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions

as well as the similiar series:
- Sid & Al's Incredible Toons
- The Incredible Toon Machine

ho-hum.

Which ones are your favourites SupSuper? I think I've only played 1 & 2, and was thinking of getting some again.

I played TIM, TIM2, and the The Incredible Toon Machine. All fine games.

Full Throttle is a good game

What's the best Monkey Island game to get, if you could only buy one?

I'd say the third, probably.

The first two are great and all, but the low res no sound, generall DOSness of them can get annoying. The fourth one is too hard to control and graphically unengaging. And also not funny.

Which ones are your favourites SupSuper? I think I've only played 1 & 2, and was thinking of getting some again.most of them are pretty much the same, so they're all good, but the originals (TIM 1 and 2) are the best. and TITM is also great with all the crazy cartoony anthics.

here's what each game is like:
- The Incredible Machine: the first, with time-based scoring system, code-based progression (you complete a level you get a code), only 2 music tracks and a bunch of puzzles to keep you entertained.

- The Even More Incredible Machine: same as above, but with new puzzle items.

- The Incredible Machine 2: completely improved for the better. dumped the scoring system, added much more (and new) puzzles now organized by categories (including tutorial ones), many new puzzle items, storage of your progress, an actual main menu, sign-in, more music tracks, two-player mode, backgrounds and help system. oh, and Professor Tim. imo, the best one from the series.

- The Incredible Machine 3: same as above, but for Windows, with voice from Professor Tim and Parts Bin organized by categories to make it easier to browse when making your own machines.

- Return of The Incredible Machine: Contraptions: modernized version of the above. new graphics, new music (including digital music besides the MIDI one), new interface. overall better looking, but still the same puzzles and items from TIM3. at least they didn't ruin the formula.
and the puzzles are now called contraptions instead of machines :rolleyes:

- Return of The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions: completely new puzzles for those that were fed up with the same old ones. oh, and Puzzle Swap option to trade puzzles online, but it doesn't work.
we should have a thread to share the crazy puzzles we do (even if some aren't for you to spend hours to solve but just overall crazy), but i think most ppl just solve puzzles, they don't make them.

- Sid & Al's Incredible Toons: same gameplay as TIM (and same author), but in a funny, crazy, cartoony way. not as complex but still hard and great fun.
only thing that bugs me is that you can't "program" solutions to your homemade puzzles (like in TIM) since there's no "checkered flag" option on items.

- The Incredible Toon Machine: Windows version of the above.

If you can find the first two for download somewhere, get them anyway. I'm totally stuck on the second, though. I have an infinitessimally small piece of rope and I can't work out what to do next.

I'm on a pirate boat, being a mighty pirate! Aaaaarr!

And I've got a big bowl over a fire, and a cannon, and some layabout crew who won't do a thing, and a captain's office, and presumably infinte gunpowder and rope. And a flag. And a lot of other crap. And I'm totally stuck.

Also, the save file's on my other PC, so I can't easily check things or try out suggestions for a while yet.

That's the first game, and if my memory serves you have to stuff as much stuff as the game will let you into that pot.

Worth a try.

On an unrealted note, I've just been watching the BBC's Dr Who webcast, because it was a script by Douglas Adams for Tom Baker to play and that to me spells greatness. He put a Ford Prefect in it.

It is a shame that the sequel got canceled. Why does Lucas Arts cancel sequels to all good games?

To focus more on Star Wars games?

What's the best Monkey Island game to get, if you could only buy one?

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

To focus more on Star Wars games?i doubt it, lately they've just been handing those jobs to other developers. which is an improvement imo, since SW games were really going down the drain.

Right now I've only got room on my computer for one more major game, and I'm trying to decide between Curse of Monkey Island, or Grim Fandango. Never you mind how I'm planning to acquire them. I feel I'm justified anyway -- they stopped showing up in bargain bins around here years ago, and the only other way to get either involves a credit card, something I still don't have.

Grim Fandango. Do it.

I've already got both demos, and frankly the Monkey Island one seemed more entertaining simply because of the huge variety of pointless dialogue choices. :p Mind you, I guess Grim Fandango is more famous for being an excellent game.

RUN, YOU PIGEONS! IT'S ROBERT FROST!

The Grim Fandango demo doesn't work very well on my computer. Though, I want it. I hear the full version works better.

Another brief question:

Which should I get: System Shock 1 or 2? I can't get both.

I have a list of 14 games to get after I finish my exams. Some I'm going to use during a LAN party I'm having on July 1st/2nd, the rest are for me alone on my PC.

Advice?

System Shock 2. The engine is far, far better. SS1 has a doom style engine, but much clunkier. SS2 has a proper 3D engine.

I'd say 2 as well. 1 is insanely hard to get to work; it doesn't run well (or at all) on its own, and running it in DosBox slows things down to an intolerable crawl. 2 I think requires a little patch to work on XP, but that's it.

Go with what these two intelligent lads said. Having brief experience playing SS2, I'll advise you buy that.

i've never played SS1, so i go with SS2 too.

I am evil - I set my desktop wallpaper to an "illegal operation" error message, so it looks like it crashed. And you can't click it away so it makes it look like the computer is locked up.

I just finished the Grim Fandango demo. I didn't crash so I didn't have to keep starting over.:) I think I'm going to get this game. It's pretty neat. I like the humor aswell. The music is tres nifty to.:p

Lol!

They don't seem very chatty.

I've emailed them again and they still haven't replied (transcript, same link). They have a fax number, too, though, so I could fax them an invoice if I could find a fax machine in this age of things that are infinitely superior to fax machines in absolutely every way (such as a telephone and a pencil-and-paper).

Another fun trick is to put icons into the picture and then disable desktop icons.

It's usually easiest to simply print-screen the old desktop.



Edit: The computers at school had a mouse calibration tool that let you move the mouse straight up and it'd recalibrate the mouse to that angle. Drag it down and everything's backwards! Fun!

I'd just flip the mouse over and continue with what I was doing.

You wouldn't be tempted to write a custom driver layer to invert all the movements at all, then? :p

You can do that, but then the buttons and the wire are at the wrong end. Mind you, if you've also set the mouse buttons to "left handed" at least they're the right way around again.

Well, I must say I am enjoying Grim Fandango more than I thought I would. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get Glottis to play that semi-secret Rusty Anchor song I've heard about, before he takes off when I show him the ID card. Whee. This town is a freakin' labyrinth. :-/

I like the scene between you vs Domino.

"I've just locked an open door"

"Strange, yet symbolically compelling"

Great game.

I had to help kill another goat today.
Who wants details? :p

http://www.hyper.readyfyght.com/random/comics/018.gif I've wondered this for the longest time.

Adobe is going to buy Macromedia.

Oh dear!

I'm not that fond of "Adobe-ey" (as they like to call themselves.)

Their acrobat viewer is the most anoying slow loading thing I've ever seen.

Then again my ancient computer cant have helped that much...

You think the Acrobat Viewer has a slow loading time?

Have you heard of a program called "Photoshop"? If not; lucky you.

Yeah, but acrobat viewer is only for viewing documents.
I'd expect a picture viewing aplication to have a faster loading time to a program for creating and editing them. :p

Is it me or does FWD. ADM. or whaterver his name is change his avatar on a hourly basis?

Yes, and they deserve to be shot for it.

Quite frankly I like the Adobe programs. I don't like the Macromedia programs. However, I hate corporations and espicially when they buy each other so I'm against this 100% and it makes me quite bad.

It depends. McDonalds own a large chunk of Subway but the food's still good. If Adobe don't turn Macromedia apps into the same clunky interfaced problemware that Adobe make then I don't care.

Photoshop's great, but a pain to use. Acrobat, and all it's trappings, is rubbish.

Past your sell-by date, are you?

The Lock Legion, llike the Clock Crew, are a group of Newgrounds users. Apparently the two groups aren't particularly fond of each other, for whatever reason. I always just wondered what would happen if you stuck a key in there. :p

this thread is getting far too meaningful. You need a: BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Past your sell-by date, are you?

lol, that explains why everyone runs from me.:p

Nice avatar :p

There's a post on the Fan Art forum that is awful. I had a really really good comment about it, but then I realised that if I posted it on the thread, I'd probably be moaned at/have my post deleted or something dull like that because the people outside this subforum are dull.

So I'll post it here instead. It's a link to the post in question, and the text of the link is my comment. Who agrees with me?

Leaving OD is dangerous business, especially if you go near Fan Art...

Speaking of Russia, we're just started the Russian Revolution in World History today.

Really? And to think that we have been blaming the Bolsheviks for it all these years.

Yes. I can read the thread but I can't find the attachments, so they must have been removed too. It was about some avatars someone had made.

That said, though, so does Andrea, so you have to worry about parents that choose to call their daughter Andrea. Or Andrew. Or Eunike, but that's just because it's a stupid name.

Edit: I have met a girl called Andrew at a party once. She seemed nice. But it was never going to work out, was it? Imagine if we'd got married. It would have been beauroctacy hell.

I used to know a girl named Andrea. She was nice. She also had a twin sister. Or was it her sister that was named Andrea? I suppose it doesn't matter. I can't tell them appart, and they were both nice. So the point stands.
