Title: Happy Birthday, Oceanspirit Dennis!
Post by: Ponch on Sun 15/05/2011 19:36:56
That's right! On May 15, 2010, Ben304 uploaded Oceanspirit Dennis: Scourge of the Underworld to the interwebs -- an event so seismically bad ass, that ripples of its awesomeness are still being felt in remote parts of the world to this very day.

What followed was a deluge of gaming goodness that was so mind-blowing in its amazingness that even the incredibly shoddy nature of the games being released could in no way dampen their enthusiasm and desire to entertain you.

So thank you, the unsung heroes of Square Peniks, for giving hope to millions (possibly billions) and showing the world that you don't need to make a good game to make a game that's good. (http://www.barnrunner.com/OSD/Roger-Dennis-Wink.gif)

So Ocean Spirit Dennis is almost exactly the same age as the Con-Dem Coalition... Coincidence?

Happy Birthday to the most unprecedented event in the history of the online gaming community.

Does that mean it was OSD day? No wonder I couldn't get my hair brushed flat today (http://www.barnrunner.com/OSD/Roger-Dennis-Wink.gif)

I see what you did there! (http://www.barnrunner.com/OSD/Roger-Dennis-Cheesy.gif)

(You know, in retrospect, I think we should have released the first OSD game on Talk Like A Pirate Day. Or would that have been too much awesomeness for one 24 hour period to contain?)

All right, I guess this is as good a time as any to tease this:

Any similarity to graphics from the games I ripped off is purely coincidental.

I disavow any implication that I might be working on an Oceanspirit Dennis game. Or that it might be called Oceanspirit Dennis: Schoolyard Solicitor.

Happy birthday, OSD!

Stop showing off, Dennis and get onto the public Birthday thread like everybody else:

Haha oh dear.

Happy birthday Dennis, nice looking pics Snarky and congratulations to the AGS forums for taking a joke much further than I ever thought it would be taken.

What do you mean, joke?
Gratz, Den.

Ben:
Joke? JOKE?!? There's nothing funny about OSD, Ben. As the pioneer of the series, you should know that. ;) Also, when can we expect a new OSD game from you? Seems to me like the time is ripe for another installment.

Limping:
We all know you were planning on doing that anyway. You're just using this great day as an excuse!

If those are the buttcheek islands then that fire is too far to the left.  Meanwhile, Motionspurt Dingus turns 1.

Hooray!

Happy B'Day OSD. Snarky, that's too cool to fail. I press my thumbs that you'll get it done and please let Dennis visit the Geyser of Buttcheek Island ;D

Happy Birthday dear Dennis, and what an awesome gift from Snarky!
Hmmm, that means that LPR's birthday is only a few days from now too!  :D
Title: Re: Happy Birthday, Oceanspirit Dennis!
Post by: Ponch on Mon 16/05/2011 15:26:12
For what it's worth, I've always had this notion that at the center of Butt Cheek Islands is a deep, dark well that hides the entrance to Dennis' secret lair. Something like this:

Although as geyser or tiny volcano would work just as well too.

And for the record, LPR first appeared on May 19.  8)

Ummm, guys, regarding my BG, that's not a geysir, nor a volcano, but a hastily-drawn campfire, as part of this screen's general "Monkey Island ripoff" motif.

We know. But ProgZ saw an opportunity to make a fart joke and the rest of us jumped on the bandwagon.  :=

Who would have thought Butt Cheek Islands would be the subject of adolescent jokes? You have made a mockery of the Oceanspirit Dennis universe!

Oh noes! Now we'll never be the new RON!

I blame ProgZ for the whole mess.  >:(

It's almost done. But before I release that, I've got to finish the next Barn Runner game. And before I can do THAT, I need to figure out a way around my looming unemployment. One thing at a time, you know. :P

Yeah I feel you on that. I got finals coming up so I need to study big time. :-\

Just thought I leave this here.
