Penis penis penis. Penis? Penis penis, penis penis penis!! Penis penis penis; penis.

Yes, yes, any format's ok. MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV, whatever.

Although EldKatt won the last Tune Contest, he hasn't been around, and forgot to start the next one. So Sluggo asked me to host this one. Ok? Ok.

This week's rules:
Movie theme. Cover your favorite movie theme song in any style you want. Be creative about it. Do a mariachi version of the James Bond theme, or a heartfelt ballad based on the PumaMan theme.

May the best tune win.

Ready set go!!!

Oh screw it.

Got any pictures of Gil for reference?

Awesome... looks rather organic for a robot, though, but that's interesting in itself. Great job.

(obvious)

I have some webspace. I even have an upload page thingy... I could try and get it set up.

Ah, I get it. Yeah, that's right.

It sort of reminds me of the Terry Pratchett book "Night Watch", where Vimes ends up in the past and has to make sure history occurs as he remembers, so he can travel to the correct future.
Also sort of reminds me of 12 Monkeys... And Back to the Future... And Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure... God I love time travel stories.

Very cool idea. I like time travel stuff. Especially semi-paradoxes like the ones your character keeps causing...
Maybe there could be an ending where he makes it back to his time and freaks out because everything is different-- to us, it's completely normal, but he originally came from a world where all the historical changes he caused hadn't happened. Like, say he had accidentally helped create the automobile on his adventure-- in his original world there were no automobiles, and when he gets back to the present he sees them and doesn't know what they are. So his time travelling made the world as it is for us. Or something.

Get this idea! There will not be a newbie forum and an oldie forum. It's going to be an oldie forum and a general mass forum. The oldies won't just ignore this forum once they have their own forum. And if they want to share something with the AGS community as a whole then they'd put it on the general mass forum. If they just want the oldies to know about it, then the oldies forum. It isn't that complicated.

But this hypothetical Oldies Forum is so that the Oldies don't have to deal with the Newbies. Therefore, there would be some sort of split. What's the point of a new forum if the people who use it are still going to use the old forum?

Would we allow cross-posting in both forums? I mean, what if I have an idea for a thread that I'd like both Newbies and Oldies to see? If I post it in the Oldies forum, Newbies might not bother looking there because they can't post. And if I post it in the original General Forum, there are Oldies who avoid the place because it contain Newbies. Crikey.

Wait, if we all focused on making games, which would allegedly make the forums a better place, wouldn't we then be more compelled to be at the improved forums? AHhhh paradox!!!

No way we're doing full segregation. If we're making an oldies forum, I say let the newbies lurk. Nobody ever said they had a problem with the newbies READING their posts, did they?
That said, for a newbie to behave they need more than moderators. They need the oldies to set a good example, right? If we do make an Oldies Forum, the oldies had better not neglect the original General Forum. It's not worth it to have an Oldies Forum if it means we'll no longer be there to help and teach the newbies.

I also suggested that the limit not apply in the tech forum, and that it turns off after you've been registered for a certain period (maybe a few months.)
I don't know about posting as a guest... Maybe it could go by the IP address.

Also, I wouldn't want it to only apply to certain nuisances. If this sort of thing is done it needs to be objective.

I just had an idea which I PM'd to Chris.
10 post per day limit...

What happened? I can't think of any way someone could have a traumatic "relationship with a country" unless they were involved with the government or military. In which case my advice would be to stop hanging out with the government or military.

I'm still not sure what the problem is and why it needs to be "fixed."
This is not a tiny community anymore, it's a fairly open forum, and we need to deal with it carefully. I can't believe some of you would snub the newbies just because they're newbies. CJ's had to deal with more newbies than ANY of you (including you), and he's still polite. And sane.
What few Trolls we've had over the years were all jokes and have disappeared. Even the 13 year olds are pretty polite around here, for 13 year olds. There are hardly any real persistant annoyances. If a person is *that bad*, then odds are they'll disappear. Despite all the newbies, there are more professional quality games than ever. The forums are just bigger, the ratios are still about the same.

My suggestion is to dress in black, listen to crappy music and whine alot.
Just kidding. I don't know what to say, you were rather vague, so the best I can offer is to say, cheer up, get some new friends, and try to put bad times behind you.
