Erebus the Black

If you want "eyes" here's what you should do: (You guys will probably hate this and I think I even hate myself for suggesting it) Make a short (about 4-20 hours game play) prequel to Avadon with the same engine but in flash or shockwave or trinity or some other web based platform. Add at the end "If you liked this game check out our other games on spiderweb.com". Let us guys beta test it. Upload it to kongregate or newgrounds or the likes, wait a month to see if it gets badges( if it doesn't pay kong a bit to make sure it does (you should probably check out how much they charge first through a dummy company, so they won't pull a fast one on you)). And vwalla instant hits and maybe even extra cash from the tip jar; kongers are real suckers for badges, no matter how lame the game is (present company excluded of course) once it has badges it will be played. Make sure to ignore all hate mail, kongers and newgrounders have very avid hate mailers. As I've probably said before, Flash is an inferior prog. language, but its one hell of a marketing tool.

If a character's Kick The Dog moment is excessively horrible, cruel, or otherwise despicable enough to make an audience lose all sympathy for him, then he's crossed the Moral Event Horizon, if he's not on the other side of it already. If the Dog in question is someone the character cares about and discovers Being Evil Sucks, then they've Kicked The Wrong Dog and might be in time to avoid a Face Heel Turn. If the dog belonged to a minion, expect it to help cause a Mook Face Turn because Even Mooks Have Loved Ones. On occasions, if karma works in the dog's favor, he'll manage to get a last laugh. On even rarer occasions, after being pushed around too many times, the dog may decide to plan against the Big Bad for his own ambitions, because Being Tortured Makes You Evil. ROFL

This is from Deathspank's trailer, Old man: "I once slayed a dragon" Deathspank: "Really, that's amazing" Click to reveal.. Old man: "Well, I didn't really slay it and it wasn't technically a dragon. What I meant to say is : I once kicked a cat" disclaimer: I am not recommending you buy it, I myself do not plan to buy it. I just really liked the joke.

Strange mushrooms aren't so easy to justify for research in theoretical physics. I did just take delivery of a nice Mac Pro, though. Too bad I forgot to order a monitor for it. At the moment it's kind of a zen workstation. You can fire it up and slide the mouse around, and type. It's up to you what you want to imagine the results are. just pilfer one from the system room when they're not watching, they probably have a few lying around unatached

I used to have a "solely storming an orcish castle" dream, which involved a lot of jumping around avoiding arrows and going up an endless stairway which was built right outside the wall (maybe they were renovating the walls and those were the scaffolding).

I really hope Jeff will tweak the next game engines to be keyboard friendly again like they used to be

Originally Posted By: Randomizer The cover you show Slarty looks more like Minas Ithil (Tower of the Moon) on the left and Mians Anor (Tower of the Sun) on the right, the original names of Minas Morgul and Minas Tirith before Sauron's forces captured Minas Ithil. That makes the figures of the moon and sun over the two towers. The sign over the black tower is a pentagram (maybe you consider a pentagram as a mark of a sun, I don't know), and beneath it there's a symbol of a hand which is Isengard's symbol.

What in the name of all that is cute and cuddly is a penne?

nvm

Quest for Glory: So you want to be a Hero?

Exile also has wall bumping, which is a wonderful thing that was lost to Avernum's nearly visible button

another good game I've DLed from abandonia is Albion. It sometimes has a top view and sometimes a first person engine, and by the look of them the first person view could really use a makeover. However Blue Byte have announced that they won't be making a sequel nor a remake so I wouldn't hope.

Douglass Adams had a say about immortality when you are not used to it

*facepalm* It's a new game developed by Jeff Vogel and is currently in it's beta phase

remind me what fyt is

Well, there's the chaotic halberd with the same effect, I'm assuming that the poisoned/acidic weapons you were able to identify (they're green man), there's the fire sword that does a bonus fire attack (or maybe it replaces the physical attack, anyways its red), and if you feel like me you'll add the icy touch descriptor to the cryo-spear. Anyway I think this should be on it's own thread, maybe one of the mods can move it?

I think he means a session like in the movie "yes man" with jim carry or what tom cruise played in "magnolia"( please forgive me if I made a mess out of this, I'm writing out of the tip of my memory )

apparently you can modulate the number of posts you will see on each page, in order to improve surfing times. So if you set the setting to 500 posts per page you'll see all posts on page #1 ,if you set it to 7 posts like alorel you'll find yourself on page #5.

thanks

If we're already on this subject, I have another question: When you say gnaw (as in gnaw on a bone) is the g silent as in gnome, soft as in gentle or hard as in get?

I'm trying to read does god play dice? by Ian Stewart. Has anybody got feedback about this book?

Your answer reminded me of this, so I tried to put it in my autograph, but it was too long, so I'll just post it here: When your college lecturer says : He means It's true to a constant : I've got a mistake somewhere Let epsilon be : You can go to sleep, this will be over in a hour It's trivial : I couldn't care less that you don't understand It's easy to see that... : I can't be bothered to explain... It's by definition : I haven't the darndest why its like that That's a good question : You got me there That's an excellent question : You might have got me there, but incidentally I know the answer That's an important question : Great scotts! You just reminded me of something I forgot to teach That'll be in the test : I'm tired of speaking to myself This won't be on the test : I've got a few minutes to kill until the end of class WLOG : I'll solve it for a sphere in vacuum, you'll solve it on the test for a multi-singular hexagon in a magnetic field
