A less presumptuous name.

RE: Pricing It looks like Jeff is getting a lot of the same crap he got when he released Avadon for $10 on iPad. Of course, he's being very upfront about it now, so people can't just deal with it. You know all of the prices to begin with - if you want to pay, great; if not, your loss. Sorry, but it annoys me when people complain about prices for things that are nonessential to their life.(of course, one can argue that after a time, SW games become essential for life) RE: Steam and Mac I really don't like how forward-oriented Apple has become. I'm still running a PowerBook G4, which uses a PPC core. Moving to Intel is great, but don't forget about us? And now they're removing support for older platforms. I get that they want to cut fat, which is why new OSes don't support PPC, but why remove completely backwards-oriented things like Classic Environment and Rosetta Stone? At least have them as optional installs when a person buys the computer. I'd like to continue using my old, paid for software on my new computer in a year.

But that's the best part of Wikipedia! Learning so much random information is what makes that site so much fun! I honestly love that one can go from any random article and get to the page on Hitler in <10 clicks. My average is about 5.

I played the demos for Avernum 1 and maybe 2 and never got into them. I look forward to trying the remakes and learning the game. Alas, most of the current forum chatter about these is way above or around my head.

We read the first chapter in class at the end of last year, and aside from learning vocab, the reading was pretty easy. We had done a few other excerpts from well-known French lit, and this was the easiest by far.

The irony is that someone had just said that Wikipedia has an article for everything. Also - did I start a monster? I think I'm going to walk away slowly.

iPhone/iPad Explorer isn't a web browser, it's a program for accessing the save files on your iOS device. At least, that's the impression that I've gotten from discussions.

Words cannot express my joy with Slarty's logic.

But when you think about it, the longer any conversation (real life, online, or any other type you can try to imagine) continues, the greater the likelihood of a reference to any topic, Hitler/Nazi or otherwise.

No, far from it. It's like regular bread except that it's a flat circle instead of a loaf. Pita is totally different.

Originally Posted By: Sotth Unless you jailbreak your iPad, then you can use iFile and edit files, transfer files, etc. I'm pretty sure that, like the MAS version, even if you could access the script files, there are checksums in place to prevent editing.

I can't remember exactly where to go, but a new door opens up north of his chambers. The game guide book or The Turtle Moves' FAQ (in the strategy central thread) should help. Pretty much, you'll go through the zone in a very linear fashion, fighting baddies all the way, until you finally get to the heart of the complex with Lord Baddie. EDIT: I just checked the FAQ - nothing in there yet. I'll admit that the guide can be helpful for zones like this. Just look around until you find a new door to go through.

I know this sounds like stupid and useless advice, but make sure you check your spam folder in your email. If you ordered 13 days ago, you should have received your code already. I never believed that spam filters could mess with me, either, until it happened.

And readers don't play. And I foolishly assumed that people would look for help before asking. Silly me.

Since this was posted, people have already asked questions answered on this page. Perhaps we should stick it in Strategy Central?

And just like that, we're up to 8001. It was fun while it lasted. Originally Posted By: Randomizer Also a new admin user at member 1 shifted the members upward. I was just wondering why Jeff is member number 2. Does the number 1 account actually exist, and does it ever do anything?

You could always try finding a public access computer. Public libraries are great places to go to download files. As long as you have a flash drive, you can download the game at the library and transfer it to your home computer to install.

Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. The games make much more sense that way. Edit - Sniped by lilith Coming out of the stairs, you make one full circle to your left, going until you're back at the beginning. Then you do it in the opposite direction, and a new door opens up.
