aussie: Oh, well of course you rock too Your rocking overtakes LN's since it's the Broncos you're into.

OH MY GOD VINCE! O_O

I've been waiting for this thread, man! HUGE congrats to you and your wife ^_^ Baby = so cute!!

You actually picked my -favourite- Japanese name too (not Robocop), Emi! I still can't believe what a cool last name you have. I'm gonna give it to a character in my next game, okay?

We totally have to meet up at some point now, if only so I can see your little baby ^_^

Las Naranhas: I'm so happy there's someone like you around on these forums to back me up when I wanna go on about Rugby League ^_^

Best sport in the world and no exceptions.

Yeah, I agree. Hotspot, get over it. This thread isn't about SLP.

Esper, good luck. It sounds like a good opportunity and it can't hurt. Give it your all ^_^ I'd help if I knew anything about horror pen and paper RPGs but... alas.

My list includes a lot of what I just got in the mail today fro my loving paents:

Some tins of baked beans
Cadbury chocolate
Warm socks
A cute, warm wooly hat
Milo ... PROPER Milo, not the crap they have in Japan
A Gary Larson diary (I never would have thought of that but I was SO happy to get it)

Other than that stuff... my fiance by my side, which I know I'll be getting; flights booked and all! ^_^

A lovely turkey roast dinner would be nice though @_@

Not using SoM as reference, tried to make the characters a little bit like Terranigma/Illusion of Gaia style.


Don't you knock my pinks and purples ^_-

Manic: Yep A few people did and I really appreciate their efforts - they all came out great, but modgeulator's was just too good to pass up.

Absolutely not, thogh thank you ^_^ I want absolutely nothing ripped in my game. I want it to be all my own work as much as possible.

As soon as I get my scripting problems worked out, I'm set.

Know idea how long it's gonna take :/

Awesome!

There are so few people like you that will actually listen to good advice. I salute you, good sir. You have my respect Seriously, good luck with the game.

Scumm: I think his point was that it was originally written as "money". A three-headed money.

Oh my god... be my best friend!!

I'd be a bad person if I didn't share this.

It's, to me, a piece of true art.

Perhaps you'll love it as I.

I've had weird things happen to me but nothing I can't explain with coincidence, something unknown (you know, something I don't personally know myself), science, imagination, the brain, inventing memories or ... well, any one of a thousand of other, non-paranormal explanations.

Th intelligent design argument just doesn't sit right with me. I mean, it would take me several years of the most incredibly trying psychologically-straining deep thinking to even come up with a way to start thinking about exactly what's behind the whole universe. I, and nor will any human being I suspect, will never, ever know why the universe exists or even if that's a valid question. I don't care, either. Humans are gonna die out as a species before we get anywhere near to even seriously thinking about considering that question.

However, I don't myself accept intelligent design as a logical argument for the existance of a "god". Some people look at the world and see a bunch of stuff that fits together so well, it must have been thought up. I think a lot of these things are just doing what comes naturally given the laws governing their make up. Some of the laws are just the natural evolution of other laws. I think it comes down to a few laws in the end. Why do they exist? I don't know, but I sure don't see that as a reason to think some guy thought them up. In that case, why do SO many things in the world make such little sense? Religious people would say that it's a mystery... the same as I would call the good things a mystery... nobody knows. Simple as that, but I personally believe it's FAR more likely to be some reason other than a great mind somewhere coming up with them.

Of course, if a god does exist, the question naturally presents itself; who invented god? And so on, and so on. So it's not much of an explanation at all, really. In the end, we don't know shit about exactly why anything is.

Stepping down from that ridiculous question, we DO know that within the laws of nature that govern our universe, there are some things which are just fact. Water heated to 100 degrees will boil, water below zero will freeze. Light travels faster than sound. Earth has gravity and gravity is the reason things fall when you drop them.

Things like that.

Now, we call it science for ease of use but science isn't just plants and physics and guys wearing lab coats. Science is the way things work and everything that is true.

If we did indeed discover that ghosts exist, they too, would be a part of that ever-encompassing word, "science". You could ask exactly what the science behind ghosts is, which is simply a question about everything that makes them up and the various properties of ghosts. Science = the deal with things. Whatever the deal with something is, it's science.

Heck, what's the deal with this stupid TV show? Well, the format of this TV show is following a formulae that has been proven economically to be very popular. It's popular because of various social traits, perhaps the majority of which concern our love of humour. Why do we love humour? Partly because of our history as humans and anscestory, and partly because of the way laughing makes us feel good, which is in turn the result of the biology and chemistry of our bodies.

Etc, etc... that was a really stupid example but everything boils down to various reasons like that.

We don't know them all yet, that's all.

What was my point again? Oh well, I'm gonna go have some chocolate.

Pff.

Science isn't proven wrong, people's various theories are. Science is what exists.

Okay, a few days late but I finally got time to test your code. It works really well! As you mentioned, the only problem is that 'jump' at start when the room loads.


What I'm thinking is that there should be a way to calculate, before the room loads, the position the objects need to be set at in relation to the x, y of the character. I'm just not sure how to do that.

Nikolas, I'm VERY hurt you don't like my Nikolas Cage thread.

VERY hurt

Have to say, I don't believe in anything that can't be explained logically with science. But I do like hearing people's ghost stories . . . during the day.

Everything I've tried so far is the same.

Kinoko: Yes I will PM-flame you. But let's ot discuss that.

The fact that you can 'get away' with something apparantly silly and worthless ties in to Farlanders thoughts of presentation value. Also Hyde's oh so true remark on how 'oldies' make silly posts aswell from time to time, without suffering. But your other ideas are more interesting. The fact that you wish to discuss with people with similar interests, references and preferences implies you see the forum as something dear and close to you. In fact, something that in many ways are yours.

This is a natural development of human social behaviour, but a world wide forum presents the villager hostility rather openly. Adapt or suffer the consequences. We are very much threatened by people entering our spheres bringing change, but where a village could always bring the pitchforks and torches to get rid of nasty elements, a forum is owned by noone and a result of its inhabitants. So the notion of qualitative threads is just a matter of personal taste of the established forumites. My question is; Who are we to decide a threads value by our subjective preferences?

But I think that's just it. We dont 'decide', and we should be open minded, but at the same time, what's wrong with every individual who wants to expressing their opinion of a post?
