Ah okay. No I don't know who anyone is. Though I have seen questions tagged jon skeet :P oh and jeff I recognise his avatar appart from that its all just general.
Okay well I'm hanging arround the Tavern a bit, but I'm not really sure why. I'll probably disappear in a couple of weeks. TBH oh and maybe reappear at intervals.
@26yearsofWelbog I get the feeling your playing with me.
hahaha true. I'm beginning to wonder if someone could create a good looking layout with just standard markup. Do not send me to zen gardens as a response.
Reminds me of something I've seen on eric mayers site but I can't remember where I saw that.
Plus I need someone to have played that, because I'm planning on doing something like that boss stage in one of my tabletop RPGs and I need opinions, damn it!
@GraceNote Nope but if the jewel case is still sitting infront of you it was a very appropiate comment. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaay behind in games now. Also I can't find Disc 1 of FF8 for pc (shows you how behind I am)
I do 3.5E D&D for the most part. I have looked into various others. The wrong person introduced me to Shadowrun so I've yet to do the right research in it
Our first game project was a vertical scrolling shooter. As much as I knew the math to make awesome curtain fire, we didn't exercise it. But we did make Apollo 13: The Reckoning.
The story goes that you are flying the Apollo 13 mission, which didn't fail, and learn of the Space MIGs and Space Zeppelins of Communist Russia are beating us in the space race. The final stage reveals that the man on the moon is none other than Space Stalin (who is Stalin wearing a diving helmet)
So our second project (Platform game where you must be able to manipulate gravity in some fashion) is the prequel, telling the story of Space Stalin (who cannot jump, only flip-kick) and the first journey to the moon to liberate it from the capitalist pig king and destroy the moon cheese factory.
Third project was to make a simple driving game with at least one track, in 3D. It almost seemed innocent, except for the "Space Stalin for '09!" bumper sticker on our inexplicably pipe-and-steam-run car.
Final project was to make a multiplayer party game. We combined two jokes there to create MarkMail, the game where the objective is to fill our prestigious teacher's inbox with as much junk mail as you can. Naturally, Space Stalin returned as one of the playable characters.
(MarkMail itself originated as a secret function we wrote for Apollo 13: The Reckoning that could send an email any time the game was beaten, addressed as coming from Space Stalin)
You know what I hate? Those games which people make in which you wait one minute for matchmaking and then the game fails to start for no apparent reason.
I also hate games which robots make. They tend to be repetitive.
@26yearsofWelbog Aye, it does. Made it to the Scarlets.
Unfortunately, I really wished I had learned half the mechanics before Stage 4, but that's a story for another time. So, in any case, I've refreshed myself of the battle between Kaguya and Mokou.
That's because they strain the seeds out. DUH. Nobody would drink tomato juice with seeds in it. Then tomatoes would take root in your tummy. And you would die.
What site do you recommend for watching TV shows for free streaming? Not Hulu or anything, because I live in Bolivia and can't pay for hotspot shield. :P
My plan is to get a really high rep. Hang arround the chatrooms and use a custom gravatar image that looks identical to a normal gravitar image. Then just hope someone asks me. "Wes in all the time it took to accumulate 25M points did you never think to set an avatar", and "I'll answer oh but I did"
