TEH LENSS FHLAAARRREE!!11!!

25 fps
Pentium III 600 Mhz
Trident Cyberblade e4-128

oh, and i think we'll see a lot of games in development double their size...

Woot!

I ARES TEH 1337 PROWJEKT MANHANDLER!

All will bow at my feet and quiver in fear at my prowess!


Meanwhile, can someone get Yufster her medication?

Well, lets say 16bit 320x200 and we're going to use a Lucasarts GUI, because the templates are great and I think that GUI's pretty popular.

I'll have to go and hunt out the Novella-so-far so people can get some background, but the plot can be adapted to fit a game better, obviously.

I was impressed by the other ideas that people had, and also by those who enetered the OQ on plots. So, if anyone wants to volunteer for plot/puzzle development assistant, I'd be very happy for help. Dragonrose, or one of the l0sers  

So artists: remember that teh charcters will be Aille (teenage hero girl), some witches, a Scottish lord (Aille's father), A dragon, unicorn, pegasus and sea monster.

but the background will be thigns like: Scottish scenerey backgrounds: a loch, a castle or fort, medieval village

Musicians: Scottishy, swords-and-magic type music: some light, some dark in tone.

oh, and do I or Yufster or both choose the winners?

My eyes hurt! That paintpot icon on your paint program is flood-fill, by the way.

I was walking along one day and then this baby jumped on top of me and wrestled me to the ground. We rolled and rolled in a tussle of death.

Or maybe my wife took this photo of me playing with my daughter at my Gran's house and then I animated it with rotation...

Also, the boat game always seems to say "You failed" even if I survive. Is there something I am missing?

Vel, if you asked all PC owners today if they like KQ or prefer something more modern, I think we all know  the answer. Obviously, if you ask a bunch of self-selecting people who are obviously fan of Tierrra's work enough to register on their forums if they like KQVGA... well what does that prove?

Barcik: I just couldnt disagree more.
You judge a game, a movie, a piece of music or a book by the standards of the time it was released, if possible.

I think that the 1909 film version of Les Miserables is by far the best, despite being black-and-white and silent.

Also, I think that the book "Ugh!!!" written in pictographs by anonymous caveman #56 on the wall of a cave in the south of France is by far the best book ever written.


btw, You know that there's an edit button, right, Vel?

The games are great (and MUCH harder at PhD level!)

However, Opera crashed on PhD level playiong the Hangman one. I dunno if it was anything to do with your stuff, though!

Here's me looking all Scottish, surrounded by beautiful ladies...

I think absoluate values would be better, because percentages would mean that you maybe can't get exactly the size you want, but you could always write a bit of script to calculate percentages.

the Ten commandments can now legally be put up by the administration in schools

So why is some judge in the news today on trial for having the ten commandments in his court?

I don't think that is blasphemous. I mean, playing around with practically meaningless words and letters. Blasphemous would be assuming that God isn't intelligent enough to see we're only joking. Or something.

I know what you mean, Pessi, but on the other hand:

juncmodule, I think you didn't read all the posts if you're saying that "the general idea that we do not intend to hurt you or your religion with these statements". Boyd, Bodyart, Terran and some others are obviously trying to do just that.

I, on the othr hand, am perfect.

Now THIS post by SSH is one I can actually acree with, in addition to simply thinking makes sense.

At last, someone recognises it  

Wel,, Wanderlady politely asked people not to offend him by saying things which he found blasphemous. His request had pretty much the opposite effect to which he desired. Some people replied saying "Well, I don't follow  a religion, but I don't think it's offensive", some said "I hate religion" or "here's a list of books that rubbish your faith" and others probably said things far more blasphemous than the original complaint.

So, based on the evidence, the moral of the story is:

If someone offends your religion, keep quiet about it because if you complain, you'll be battered to a pulp by people

OK, maybe they weren't defending freedom of speech, although plenty said "you have no right to force your beliefs on me". I don't see how someone saying

Can it please not be done anymore?

is forcing anything.

However, as Andail said, maybe WanderLady is being over-sensitive. Now, myself I am a Christian and I used to get upset about these things. However, I discovered at my own cost when a teenager that complaining about this simply makes people think that you're an idiot. I'd rather keep that secret! It certainly never achieves any reduction in blasphemy and it puts people off Christianity as it makes Christians seem prudish and killjoys. I try to avoid judging people's actions because I can't presume to speak for God.

So, in summary, those who have ranted bitterly about forcing beliefs are hypocritical, and those who get offended are counter-productive. I, on the othr hand, am perfect.


EDIT: And Timosity is so drunk that he make less sence than usual  

let's see something original, and something we least suspect, that's what I love about the selections.

You mean "The Adventures of Princess Marian", then ?  

I think the moral of this story is:

If someone offends your religion, keep quiet about it because if you complain, you'll be battered to a pulp by people defending freedom of speech.

I know there is a new forum, that's why I used its name in my question! All the other forums get their not-touched-in-9-months threads deleted: I just wanted to check if this would happen to the threads in the new forum too. Does making threads sticky mean they don't get deleted?
