NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I forgot, West Coast America and Britain have the possibility of being on two seperate days simultaneously! I wasn't ready!

Can Americans get an extra day?

...oh wait... we kinda do....  But still! I missed the whole first day of the competition! Noooo!

Oh well. I'M STILL ENTERING, BABY! (gets in TARDIS, goes back in time three years, and starts producing a game that will r0xx0r every pair of s0xx0rz that has ever been worn...)

I had to cheat for the last ones, too... Apparently, I'm a full-on genious in America, but not so in other countries, because the only ones I missed were the culturally biased ones (except 9 p in s a)... I don't even watch American sports, so there's no way I'm going to know how many players on a team in British sports!

It's also rather odd that the first person to launch a diatribe against MENSA also happened to be one of the people who expended the most time and energy trying to complete their friggin' test.

What can I say: I'm a hypocrite!

Hmmmmmm..... Try the SSI series of roleplaying games... the Dragonlance series and the Buck Rogers series... Then give the Bard'sTale and Wasteland a try, and if that doesn't meet your fancy, even some of the simpler games have more rhyme or reason to them than just "rescue your girlfriend..." such as one of my all time favorites, Road War 2000, and the arcade platformer "The Human Race." Not to mention, it was the C64 that introduced me to Infocom and Sierra...

No, just the inability of my "s" key :D

I am not a big fan of sycophantium (yes, I know I made that word up) myself, but I would rejoice extensively if I could meet Einstein. He's my hero. Who else could explain his extremely complex theory of relativity by saying “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity.”

I know what Matt is saying, though. It's like, you're inundated with all this crap like Halo 2, and Fable, and all the other juicy juices that are out on the market today, and then, looking back on C64 games, you're like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I want to like this but I just have too much storyline-less crap in me!!!!" And then you realize that, even though you can draw a kickass pic of Master Chief riding in a Warthog with weapons blazing that you just can't seem to copy the style of the oldskool games!!!

And, CJ's Antics? Did the Pumameister know someone made a game about him?

Spy vs. Spy 1, 2, and 3 were the bong...

This is totally why I don't like MENSA... Mentally Elitist Nerds for a Stupid America.... They are really a bunch of complete morons, according to Albert Eintein:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

All those losers have is a bunch of minds like a steel trap: they can remember whatever they want to from a book of facts, like how many tablespoons are in a deciliter, and exactly which cities in the United States declare it illegal to pour pickle juice on trolley tracks (Cranston, Rhode Island is one such city) and the names of all the states and capitals spelled backwards... But, like Einstein said, these people are a bunch of worthless minds that are destined to do nothing but be sycophants for the entirety of their lives. What is really important, Einstein continued, was "to never stop questioning." The way to limit yourself, to make sure you never accomplish anything great, and to ensure yourself a good standing in the MENSA Hall of Mediocrity is to be like them; but the way to make something of yourself... the way to come up with great new things... the way to change the world... lies not in trying to experience the dreams of others, but to dream for yourself.

"Too low they build, who build below the skies..." -Edward Young

......of course, this is only my excuse as to why I didn't get a perfect score myself. You know Einstein couldn't spell his own name, right?

By that, do you mean you created Jibbedybob, or you created the initial version, JibbedyboD, which then was switched back and forth several times???

Honestly, I can remember such things from KQ.

>Open door

The door is locked.

>Unlock Door

You don't have the right key.

<Graham wanders around for a bit, getting aggravated>

>Find frigging key.

You cannot find the frigging.

>Key, dammit.

I didn't understand that. Please try to reword it.

>FIND THE KEY FOR ME LEST I FLAIL THY RANK BUTTOCKS!

Oh, why didn't you say so? The key is over there on the floor.

<Graham walks to middle of floor>

>This dog?

That's not a dog, it's a key.

>This is a dog, joker. There is NO WAY this thing is a key.

Use it on the door.

>Unlock door.

Bark... Just kidding... The door swings open...

>Thanks for nothing...

Hmmm, actually, yeah, Nipper, that was the wrong link ANYWAY...

http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php/Category:AGS_people

And from that, you can discover that Becky, DragonRose, half of LJUBI, and possibly Pesty, are girls, and then proceed to communicate with them. Also, by using the "Post Your Picture Here" thread, you can find a couple more... The Ivy, for example, is a girl, and a relatively... hell, forget relatively... a VERY pretty one. Kinoko, as she already stated, is also a girl. I am not. However, as a being that transcends space and time, my gender doesn't really matter.

Haughty Intellectual. Interesting, I took the Ultimate Personality test on Tickle.com a couple years ago and was branded a Criminal Mastermind... There might be something to this...

...Who wants to help me design my costume?
#394
::insert smiley here that doesn't exist but should, in which the smiley has one eyebrow raised::

Kinoko IS famous!

And I think the AGS Wiki link was very helpful, and then, pointing out exactly where to go was even more helpful!

The thing that isn't too helpful is when people post "I like fish! Monkey monkey monkey!" in their Wiki profile... Not that anyone has, but alot of them are pretty much equal to that...

(note: I don't have a Wiki profile yet because I like fish, and my motto is "monkey monkey monkey," so it wouldn't be a very helpful entry...)
#395
That link Nipper gave you?

Bottom right corner.

"AGS COMMUNITY."

then...

o.0

Huh?

Response PMed you, but I'll say this here, too. This is nothing like what you said you were interested in writing. You said you wanted to do stuff like Korn, Radiohead, NIN, etc... To which I replied I can't write lyrics for that type of stuff (not that I don't like it... one of my favorite groups is Three Doors Down, and I used Rammstein music in one of my old Flash-based games)... If this is the type of stuff you are going to be writing, then I would be MORE THAN HAPPY to work with you.

Well, considering when I clicked on the link I was presented with the phrase "and grr is BLRUI," I would have to say that I'm not altogether too certain that this will be successful...

EDIT: Ah. Matt, you beat me to it. Good on ya, mate...

Hm. It does the poem more justice than the poem itself!

The only thing I can mention is that I can't seem to follow along with the words. I'm not altogether sure how you have it working out, but then it's most likely that I'm not putting the right words on the grace notes. However, that can't be my entire problem, because I wind up only at the beginning of the next to last line of the verse by the time the melody stops! I must just be retarded: we saw that i had the same problem when it came to the Christmas play music :(

I'm not a terribly big fan of that one note that sounds out of place... I don't have perfect pitch, but I would say, if this song were in the key of C, it's the only flatted note in the song. However, I don't have perfect pitch, and I don't think the song is in the key of C, and so you probably have no idea which note I'm talking about!

Other than those two VERY minor things, I think this is beautiful. I wish I could write stuff like this to go along with my other works of poetry.
