I actually felt compelled to play again today ... and my connection gets refused!  Won't let me connect (tried several times).

ERROR MSG:

Failed to connect to the server

Connection refused: connect

It's pretty common knowledge [around these parts] that people are more concerned about good game-play, story, and puzzles.  Sure pretty pictures/graphics are nice, but it's more important that it's a good game.  So don't get discouraged just because a lot of people didn't reply!  If you have aspirations for a "new" game I'd suggest you continue development on this one (call it a learning experience before tackling another "real" game).

This is just my advice   It's up to you of course!  If you want help on the graphical stuff, seriously, post in the critics lounge!  The artists in there really can help you improve (it's helped me in the past as well).

However ... if you've decided to halt development on this game please let me know and I'll lock this thread.

Good luck.

If you want advice on the graphics/style please post in the critics lounge. Are you halting development on this particular game?

Please post in the critics lounge if you want feedback ... keep the C&C out of this thread please.

I can't remember what my morning was like FIVE YEARS AGO when Pet Terry asked this!!

A SEVEN YEAR NECRO-POST!!  Ladies and gentlemen I believe that is a new record?!

And it still doesn't follow the rules!

Is it really me posting this? **ponders**

Thanks!  I think I'm gonna go with the second one ... Even if it's not the exact one she remembers fondly it's not like she'll actually use it anyway.  It's more a "thought that counts" type gift.

And Ponch ... I'm not sure I knew you were a twin? I am as well.

Greetings.

A few months back my girlfriend and I were chatting about our pasts and she mentioned that, as a child, she always really wanted an "Easy Bake" oven but she never had one (her parents thought they weren't safe).  I thought nothing of it for awhile until yesterday I thought it'd be a cool "sentimental" gift to get her for Christmas (not the only thing of course, just a secondary "cutesy" type thing to make her love me even more).

I set out to search the web (using Google, eBay, etc) and I found loads of Easy Bake Ovens!

Here's the boggle...

I have no idea which one is the one she would be referring to.  I would assume it was one from the early/mid 1980s (of which I found several) but I don't know which is the "official" one (if there was an official one).  So I was wondering if any of you were familiar with these from decades past and could offer any insight as to which one to purchase.

Here are a couple of the ones I found:

> 1983 Kenner/Betty Crocker Easy Bake Oven
> 1983 Kenner Easy Bake Oven

I have this old memory of TV commercials for this thing and I don't find either of these (the links above) ringin' any memory bells.

So ... if anybody can point me in the right direction I'd be very appreciative!

Thanks!

Just learned that we also lost Irvan Kirshner (the director of The Empire iStrikes Back) at age 87.  This one hit me hard too ... Episode V is, in my opinion is the best of the Star Wars saga.

It goes in threes so we should probably expect another loss soon.

There must have been 30 Facebook posts (from my friends) that say "surely you can't be serious...". Funny how a man can impact so many. I, too, was saddened to hear of his passing. I was never a huge fan of The Naked Gun movies but Airplane is, to me, one of the most funny movies of all time.

So long Mr. Nielson... 

I really want to start Darthville 2.0 ... My life has been a tad hectic lately and I haven't had a lot of free-time to play but I'm hoping to change that soon!

This doesn't belong in here (until you have read, and can meet, the forum rules).  For the time being stick the recruitment thread where this belongs.

Good luck!

I am not going to lock this [just yet] ... I'll give you a few hours to read the rules and update your post.  If you don't have the 2 needed in-game screenies yet you posted too early and I'll lock this until you're ready!

Okay ... well just let me know when/if you have the details needed and we can unlock this!

[Edit]

I, too, have joined the illustrious ranks of those being given the boot!

DarthMandarb (no space) is my username.

Edit - well that (above) explains that!

I'm waiting until the whitelist is in place before the ground-breaking of the new and improved Darthville.  That little incident put a bad taste in my mouth and it sort of makes spending that much time on something seem pointless.  So hurry up and whitelist the server!  I'm aching to make it again!!

Granted, if it was who I think it was the whitelist won't make any difference...

I experience that all the time ... I think it's an issue with latency from playing over the 'net because it doesn't happen to me when playing single-player mode.

Why it happens more closer to the spawn point (another thing I've also noticed) I have no idea?! (edit: Ryan answered that one)

I was able to play a little [single player] earlier ... but now it won't connect to the minecraft servers.

That guy seriously needs to upgrade his server(s).  If he's going to take people's money he needs to provide more reliable servers.  And I read today the profit is now 6 figures so the dude can afford to (and should) update them.

I believe, in the new version, there are multi-type environments.  They are called "BIOMES" or something like that.  So you can go from desert to tropical to snow all in the same world.  Should be very cool I think.

Personally I am not a fan of the snow worlds but that's just me

I decided to have some fun w/ TNT on my [old] castle ...
