Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Do you know of any Macs I could purchase that cost less than $20? And come with a mouse, speakers, keyboard, monitor, and TV-R? I didn't think so. Nah, I'll just apply to become a beta-tester when the time comes.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Nice new screen shots from the middle of the game. Jeff is still revising the last part of the game so he'll be rushing to add the new graphics and any other changes. It seems to be shaping up to be the best Geneforge. One nice change is that the options you get with both sides depends upon how much you actually help them and not having to choose between dialog options. You still need to make the right dialog choice to get to the option, but now you don't have to pick opinions that you don't believe in anymore.

Seasoned Roamer Silb Aran Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Is this a placeholder graphic? Do they... cast 'razor disks'?

Ineffable Wingbolt JadeWolf Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 What the heck is the second thing in the party roster in the screenshot above (in Slippery Salmon's post) ?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Since when was Salmon a loyal underling? —Alorael, who thinks everyone should pay more attention to the ostensible lies in a certain rather Xian thread.

Seasoned Roamer Silb Aran Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thank you for clearing that up, Dikiyoba. May you prosper and buy a Mac. Edit: Quote: —Alorael, who thinks everyone should pay more attention to the ostensible lies in a certain rather Xian thread. See how many grains of truth you can extract now! Are you speaking about the "good news" thread (I'm not sure what Xian is)? Sure, that place is all kinds of devious, but suggesting that vahnatai are shapers is outright evil.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Some things one should not joke about. There are NO Avernum connections in G4. Kyshakks, yes there are. That is one of the older released screenshots. I don't know what that mysterious second item is in the party roster of that screenshot, but it must have been some kind of test element from a very early build. It has not made it into the actual game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 -X- loves the new Shaper graphic. -X- is now so excited, that he reverts to eating fluffy turtles. Perhaps the half-digested sanity will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Haven't you read any of Dikiyoba's stories, -X-? Don't you know that Fluffy Turtles are now an endangered species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Don't you know that fluffy turtles can attack. The bite is more of a gumming attack, but they clamp on and don't let go until they get all of your sanity. You still have about a week to get a Mac. There are probably some used old Mac minis out there that you could use with your Windows equipment for not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Do not underestimate the fluffy turtles, -X-. I once saw on the Discovery Channel a video of a steady stream of ants marching up a tree only to be devoured by a praying mantis. However, the ants eventually swarmed the mantis and tore it apart, after which they carried its parts back to their colony to eat. Remember that the next time you try to eat a fluffy turtle. They're smarter than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dikiyoba has always seen the fluffy turtles as covered in really fine, long fluff, kind of like the cats and dogs that have more fluff than body. Edit: Post 2222.
