That's ok though; we can have an "I don't have a stamp" group. :P

Should the "I don't have a stamp" group get a stamp?  It can say "I don't have a stamp and all I got was this lousy stamp" :D :D

What? :P

EDIT:  Thanks to Deloria's two year unlock & revival of that thread (::)), I decided to read it through.  It turns out my post (well, more my 4999th :P) influenced the whole rest of that thread! XD

So, yeah! *feels proud* (and a bit creeped out) ;P

I can't dance. :P

Post by: Deloria on May 31, 2006, 02:45:12 PM
I can just barely. I'm occasionally alright at Hip-hop if I can remember everything, other than that I'm horrible :P I also like Flamenco, but I never took lessons, just a two day course twice.

Omgsh! *wants to see Deloria dance hiphop* XD

I can dance if there are specific things we're supposed to do. I'm good with choreography, the cha cha slide, and the macarena. :P

There are a couple other dances I know, but I can't remember any of them except Cotton Eye Joe. XD

We had a swing dancing class in 6th grade, but if you had a foreign language class you had to go. We were going Christmas carolling in French and since the other classes were out, we had to sing in French by the Spanish classrooms. :angel:

lol, actually the reason the site keeps crashing is because of the TSL Trailer.  I think I'll replace the link next month with the Google Vid of it, since this server can't seem to handle the traffic. :P

Bandwidth-wise it's fine, but it's more the number of simultaneous connections it has problems with, crashing the web server. :-\

2. Variant of daimon.
3. Computer Science. A program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task.

#3's the good one. XD

I love it! XD  The offline messaging is perfect for all those people that always crash one me. ;P  And once you install Messenger Plus! Live, the log files are in HTML and finally WYSIWYG (i.e. smileys, custom smileys and handwriting show up just as expected)! XD

The only thing I don't like is that their logging doesn't show the seconds in the timestamp anymore, but I already reported that bug to MSG Plus. :P

Ooooh I remember... I think I would be a magical genie right now if Neil didn't delete the posts i made ;P I didn't realise there was a modify button... all i did was put * and the correction down :P

Jeanne, have you played any of the other King's Quest games? You can find remakes of the first 2 games at AGDI's site, and Infamous Adventures has a remake of KQ3.  Look at the links page. King's Quest is an awesome series. My favorite is AGDI's KQ2+, Romancing the Stones.

Any idea when the patch and voice pack will be released?  I am holding out until then to play the game because I want to see KQ III in all its glory.  It seems like a cease and desisit order from Vivendi only applies when someone is making a new quest based on an old but popular series like King's Quest as in the case of POS with TSL (formely KQIX).

Well, they also sent a C&D to a sex-inspired parody called Quest For Orgy.  I don't believe that was a remake, but it's pretty obvious why Vivendi would want something like that to cease and desist. :P

Quote from: Baggins on August 16, 2006, 09:42:17 AM
Sierra has actually already sold a few of their IPs to other companies.

They sold the Goldrush IP back to the designers that made the game.


Apparently Mark Seibert was able to gain the rights to Pepper's Adventures in Time IP as he offers the game for free on his site.

They sold the IP to the online game  "The Realm" to another company that keeps it alive.


As a side note there are certain games that Sierra never owned the IP's for so they can't rerelease the games(black cauldron for example).

The Black Cauldron is now freeware.
Title: Re: Phoenix Online studios buying Sierra?
Post by: Baggins on August 16, 2006, 04:37:10 PM
Who released it as "freeware"?

Are you sure it hasn't just been posted up as "abandonware" (which is not actually legal)?

Cause last I heard disney still owned the rights to it. Which was the reason why the disney Roberta Williams games sierra made were not able to be released in the Roberta Williams Anthology but only listed in the timeline in the manual.
Title: Re: Phoenix Online studios buying Sierra?
Post by: dew7 on August 16, 2006, 06:13:05 PM
The claim is Al Lowe -- Here is the site:

Google it and you will find it

He says they are abandoned so you are probably right.  I don't know all of the technicalities of abandonware.
Title: Re: Phoenix Online studios buying Sierra?
Post by: Baggins on August 16, 2006, 06:22:53 PM
Well Abandonware isn't tecnically legal. Copyrights legally have about 70 years from the moment the product is copyrighted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware#Abandonware_and_the_Law

But hey Al Lowe is cool to throw laws to the wind, heh heh. Imo, Abandonware protects games that would likely be lost to history otherwise. Its also cool he's trying to make some money off his old games via donation buttons heh heh.

But I"m not sure you can actually post links to abandware games on this site, forum rules and all...

As a side note Ken Williams actually supports the concept of Abandonware and often has links to all sorts of sierra games on his fan website in the forums(therefore I can't link you to his site)...

He allows it despite the fact that Vivendi usually tries to protect their games from being passed around as abandonware. His view?

QuoteI have heard that there are sites that are distributing the old games. I even found one site that had the old Apple II games, and an emulator, for download! To the extent that Sierra doesn't object, I think it's great. Hopefully, they'll either distribute the old games, or look the other way as they are passed around the internet. I'd hate to see them just "cease to exist".
Whereas I would not post old Sierra games on this site, I am not opposed to including links to other sites here. I mentioned to one of Sierra's senior haunchos a couple of years ago that I had found a site from which to download all the old Apple games, and his only comment was to say "cool". My guess would be that Sierra will never officially bless the downloads, but neither are they likely to spend a lot of money chasing people who download games that can't be found in any other way.
That said, I feel very differently about people downloading a "really old" game like Kings Quest II than I do people downloading HalfLife. If a product can be found at retail, then any attempt to download it is piracy, and unacceptable behaviour. I see a distinction between preserving history and piracy.
-Ken Williams .

I guess if Al Lowe is putting games he worked on up as abandonware its possible that Mark Seibert might have put up the Pepper's game as abandonware as well. So it might be technically illegal.

So what is your real first name Tage7?  You don't have to tell me if you don't want to because I went under dew7 for a long time till I felt okay about revealing my name.  It is funny how identity theft of first my personnel identity and then my work identity helped me to put all my trust in a higher power than myself.  Anyway, I am not here to debate religion which I know is forbidden in the forums but something greater than me is out there helping me through my crazy rollercoaster life.  I remember praying for adventure in my life and that prayer was certainly answered.  Thanks for all of your support and advice Tage7 and you really seem like a cool and friendly guy.  I am really glad I became a member of this forum because it has helped me through rough times like the difficult times I am going through now. 

BTW, my transmission on my car died recently but fortunately it is covered by an extended warranty on my Honda Civic 2001 EX Sedan.  This car is on its 3rd cd player already and still has less than 100,000 miles on it.  It was purchased in December 2000 and was a gift from my parents.  I did pay for registering the car in Arizona and for all the upkeep after that including insurance, maintenance and fuel of course.

I am now seeing a psychologist to help me refocus and also taking medicine for my bad viral infection.  I am even taking a small amount of medicine to help me calm down especially at night during this rough time.  Finally, I am back at my folks house where they are helping me out greatly with all of my issues. 

My parents are really cool to me.  My dad is a minister and my mom is a retired special education teacher which really helps me since I work at the Albuquerque Public Schools.  I am currently on leave pending this whole investigation.  The interesting thing is that I had the 2 sick days and put the rest in as unpaid leave and now my bosses changed it to paid leave which is really nice since all the charges of computer sabotage were ludicrous and I think my immediate bosses at the school now realize that.
Title: Re: New Journal
Post by: dew7 on September 15, 2007, 06:58:10 AM
Okay Guys/Gals, now you can now some more about little old/young me ---  8)


Okay, I am just so curious as to what city/state/country you live in Animan but if you don't wish to share then I totally understand.  I grew up in NYC in the statest (U.S.A.), went to college in the southwestern U.S., and now live in New Mexico. My real name is Daniel (God is my Judge) but I went as Danny back East in the Big Apple and usually as Dan here in the Southwest.  I currently work as an educational assistant at an elementary school in the southwest.  I have had a ton of problems with my identity since 2005 when the house I was renting in the Southwest was broken into and my social security card was stolen.  I worked for an air force base as a civilian with children in the past for a few years.  I currently had my home computer which is a dual-boot with 98 Second Edition on C:\ drive in Fat32 and XP Professional on D:\ drive hacked into via VPN (Virtual Private Networking) that I got from work --- there were some vulnerabities that the hacker(s) took advantage of.  This hacker(s) was so good unless it was another hacker(s) that he/she broke through the 128 bit RC4 (Release Candidate -- 4) of my work email at webmail.aps.edu.  Now that is a scary thought that someone was that good especially since I have been working with computer security since 1984.  I know some programming such as BASIC on my IBM PCjr which I still have in storage and from classes I took at the University.  Another language I know about is Java.  Anyway, I was so stupid to trust my home computer to the work's -- APS (Albuquerque Public Schools) Intranet due to all the security vulnerabilities that they had.  That was extremely stupid on my part and I have learned a valuable lesson here.  Anyway, I have been serving on Jury Duty while I am on leave from work pending a complex and comprehensive investigation of all the junk that I have gone through.  Take Care.

P.S. I warned the elementary school that I work at and am now planning to switch to another elementary school due to a false charge of computer sabotage by the assistant principal even after I had worked almost all of 2006 and to May 2007 on the school's computer issues and the school computer network was working great when I left.  I was gone for 3 whole months while working as a Christian Camp Counselor and someone really messed up the whole computer network at the elementary school while I was gone.  I remember the head computer lady whose name is Stephanie told me a former system administrator had locked down all the computers at the school back in Sept. 2006 to the equivalent of DOD (Department of Defense) standards because the person was so mad at the school.  Actually, her words were that the computers had been locked down and I knew about DOD because I worked as a civilian at an air force base.  Anyway, I am now more passionate than ever to have the Windows 9x source code used again for backwards compatibility for DOS Games and Educational Programs as well as support for Windows 3.x older games and educational programs that schools and consumers have to help the consumers have fun and our children to be educated more effectively.  In addition, this could cut down on waste and money by not having old software thrown away in the garbage.  In addition, I am hoping that a tri (3x) based source code will be released that will feature an open source browser like Mozilla Firefox with Windows 9x consumer line (like 98 Second Edition) and Windows NT (New Technology) as well as Unix/Linux Technology thrown in for good measure as an underlying maintenance operating system.  You can find out more information here if you would like.

That's kinda what I was thinking, plus several the other CSC majors would be in it with me, and I won't have to take Calc III with the professor that I have right now for Math reas who I do not particularly like all that much. So as long as my prof approves, and I can get it, I'm planning on taking that. But I'll have to make sure I pass Math reas (which is not a 100% certainty atm), as that's the prereq for it. :P

Hmm... I took two courses that involved mathematical reasoning... Did you mainly work with proofs, or was it predicate & propositional logic?
Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: tessspoon on November 08, 2007, 12:18:07 PM
Proofs, mainly. We covered different strategies for doing proofs, and now  he's teaching us point set topology so we have something we've never seen before to practice them on. I'm not sure what predicate and propositional logic is though. :P
Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: Yonkey on November 08, 2007, 12:38:37 PM
I'm not entirely sure if I know what point set topology is either...

Propositional calculus is stuff like:

(P -> Q) ∧ (Q -> P)  =>  (P <=> Q)
That is: if P implies Q, and Q implies P, then P is equivalent to Q.

Predicate calculus is a more formal extension to that. 

EDIT: I found a simple example of predicate calculus:
From "All dogs are mammals" we may infer "If Rover is a dog then Rover is a mammal".
Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: tessspoon on November 08, 2007, 01:49:18 PM
I still don't understand exactly what point-set topology is either, which is probably why I'm not doing so great in the class. :P

We did a little bit of the propositional stuff, but just the basics.
Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: Yonkey on November 08, 2007, 08:22:48 PM
The propositional & predicate stuff looks more difficult than it actually is.  Most of it is just ordinary logic organized into fancy formalized rules. :P  I guess it's to meant to help you to think analytically, although if you've programmed before, you pretty much know how to think that way regardless.

Basically, it helps you write code so that you don't have hundreds of nested if-else stuff, or endless loops that lead to deadlocks/livelocks.

The quality of the graphics IS quite amazing, and I'm running at a near full-screen resolution. (Won't do full-screen, as I'd have to Alt-Tab to switch from that window to the bug reporting tool-window).

XD I haven't exited the castle yet! I keep finding things! I need to try Alt-Tabbing, 'cuz if I press the windows key the game crashes and I can't get back in.

They could try "claiming" the windows key when in fullscreen mode, essentially disabling it, preventing the crash.

Might as well report it so that someone will investigate it.  Does the game crash (as in, does it generate some error message), or does it just get unbearably slow?  If it's the latter, then it's most likely because your amount of RAM is too low.

But in fullscreen the game really does freeze when I'm going to the interior courtyard/garden. Also, when I press the windows key or alt tab (only in fulscreen though) their is no trace of the game in the  Task Manager but I can hear the music still.

Unfortunately, TSL happens to fall into this category as well during some scenes. ::)
Yeah, it takes up a lot of memory. Don't even attempt playing it with 256 MB ram (Koko) it's no fun. It's mucho fun when you have 2 GB ram, though! (Moi! 8) )

Fortunato-ly Cat upgraded her RAM, so everything's good now.

Well, you can invest in some RAM (which'll come in handy anyway) or you can invest in a copy of War and Peace to read while you wait for things to load.

Actually reading a couple of books while your game is loading in not a bad idea. I am on a friends list of knowing Classical literature if she ever ends up on a gameshow and needs to 'phone a friend'. You can gain a lot of knowledge just waiting.

There's definitely more posts than normal.  But we've had both dry posting spells and excessive posting spells, caused by many different factors (i.e. vacation, exams, posting sprees, announcements, updates, etc).  That being said, while I don't expect this level of activity to continue for months on end, it is a refreshing and welcome change. 8)

I don't see the issue with using myself, although I think "I" would be a little better than me.
Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: Deloria on April 04, 2008, 10:54:29 AM
It's not a question of style, it's a question of grammar. XD

"between" is a preposition and therefore demands the dative (or the objective, considering that they've practically merged) case in the personal pronoun(s) following it. The dative pronoun in the first person singular is "me". :P

"Myself" is reflexive. If you used "I" (as a subject, not butchery) in the same clause (here the "I" is in the subordinate clause and the "myself" you would have suggested would have been in the main clause) earlier in the sentence, you can use myself though I'd say it's even worse stylistically. :P

Besides which, would you say "From what I saw (I do not bother reading threads I find uninteresting, at this point), most discussion posts (which fuel the the +1 post threads) were either game-related (can be taken as due to the beta), or they were primarily between ourselves"
or
"From what I saw (I do not bother reading threads I find uninteresting, at this point), most discussion posts (which fuel the the +1 post threads) were either game-related (can be taken as due to the beta), or they were primarily between us"?


"I" has absolutely no reason to be in that sentence as it is only to be used as a subject. :P

I welcome corrections from anyone, should this be incorrect. :)

and you do catch on that half or more of grammar rules were caused by change (and "incorrect usage"), right? :P
Yes...hence my great respect for obsolete languages (especially inflected ones) and old grammar. :P I would also point out that English has already lost six glorious cases and numerous other grammar functions for whatever reasons (many languages have lost their cases, actually). :P Why make English even less aesthetically pretty, moreover, less logical? :P It can just make it more ambiguous, especially to people who don't learn it through practice. :P On the other hand, how much more do you want to simplify the language? Aside from the verb "to be" and the third person singular in many other verbs, one can barely conjugate it at all. :P I just don't understand why anyone would butcher it when the rules actually make some sense. :P

That's really irrelevant as we're talking about grammar and not context. :P "Myself" and "ourselves" are (for grammatical purposes) the same thing except that one is singular and the other plural. XD My issue is only with the reflexive pronoun (myself). :) Frankly no one would have said "ourselves", but rather "us". Thus the usage of "me" instead of "myself" makes more sense. Again, I truly mean no offence by this, but would rather clear up any ambiguity I may have caused with grammar jargon. :)

In this forum, they get as messy as religion/politics sometimes... ;P
If I actually took the time to really try and understand the grammar talk that goes on all the time, I'd have learned a whole lot on grammar already XD

But giving that I'm horrible at grammar and its rules and most of it looks way too advanced to me, it'd take me more time than I have to do so :P

But it's fun to watch you guys debate it, even if I don't understand exactly what is you're debating. XD

You is already plural. :) The 2nd person informal/singular (thou, thee, thy) is no longer used. :P

That's really irrelevant as we're talking about grammar and not context. :P "Myself" and "ourselves" are (for grammatical purposes) the same thing except that one is singular and the other plural. XD My issue is only with the reflexive pronoun (myself). :) Frankly no one would have said "ourselves", but rather "us". Thus the usage of "me" instead of "myself" makes more sense. Again, I truly mean no offence by this, but would rather clear up any ambiguity I may have caused with grammar jargon. :)
Grammar, not context. Bugger, she got me. XD

Yes, it does make sense when you put it that way. Thank you!

Isn't that around TSL's birthday? When exactly is that?
I think it's around July 7th or 27th somewhere around there.
There was a big event and they opened the chat room for it. Two years ago when they did the contest. (I think that was it.  :-\)

The TSL site was actually launched on June 1st, so I guess that's its birthday.

Yeah, both. Incomplete group in that 2 (me and one other guy) of the 4 group members did 90% of the work. Incomplete project in that there was too much work to be done to complete the full task load.

Hopefully Tessy will post it.  *wants to see as well* :P
It was in the "Backspace" section of the PC Gamer's July issue that I got in the mail today, by Yahtzee Croshaw.

"There comes a time when an unpleasant truth you have tried to ignore for a long time must be confronted. Like when you buy the DVD box set of a cartoon you loved as a child, only to discover it was just as infantile and rubbish as your big brother used to gloatingly say it was. Or when you gradually come to realize over many years that someone replaced you bed with a sleeping tiger. The uncomfortable truth that has been slowly sinking into my mind like a lead weight on a trifle is this: Were adventure games ever any good?
   This is a particularly awkward realization for me, because for most of my gaming life, I’ve considered myself as being to adventure games what the Pope is to our lord Jesus. I played a little else in my Amiga-owning childhood, I’ve written for AdventureGamers.com, and lest we forget, I myself designed something like 15 of the things. So what brought on this drastic loss of enthusiasm?
        Don’t get me wrong. Pretty much every LucasArts adventure game, like Monkey Island, was good. It’s just that it was generally the writing that made them good, and the quality came in spite of, rather than because of, the gameplay. Besides, they were outnumbered by legions of bad adventure games, most of which began with the words ‘King’s Quest’ and ended with a roman numeral.
   Lately, I find myself at a loss to explain exactly how adventure games are fun. I would previously have said something about the satisfaction of having your logical thinking rewarded, but really, logic rarely had much to do with it. Why can’t we use the bamboo stick to pester the sleeping cat on the high shelf, as would logically work? Because the designer intended you to use the policeman’s disembodied arm, that’s why, and the bamboo stick is needed to mollify the rabid panda two hours from now, not that you’d know that.
   Frequently it comes down to you hording useless trinkets like a crazy homeless woman with a shopping trolley, shuffling form room to room, waving you pointer around looking for a hotspot, then throwing every single one of your trinkets at it until something good happens while you character drones “THAT DOESN’T WORK,” ad nauseum. And if it’s just a case of point and clicking in every conceivable manner to make the story progress, then you might as well just be reading an Excel spreadsheet.
   I dunno, maybe it’s just that my own definition of fun has shifted ever since Half-Life first absorbed me like an action-packed gelatinous cube. Maybe I’ve been corrupted by instant gratifications to the point that I can longer concentrate on anything that doesn’t OOH LOOK SOMETHING SHINY…"


EDIT: Typo :P

Post by: PirateKingChris on July 14, 2008, 08:00:19 PM
I lost that guy's reasoning from the beginning when he said he loved cartoons as a child and got them on DVD and doesn't. I'm not like that about movies, books, and games from my childhood...If I liked it as a kid I like it now. His reasoning makes me think he liked the bad shows as a kid. Anyway, the major point he misses in his explanation is that adventure game plots are WRITTEN so well. Plot has always been the most important thing to me in games, especially adventures. Now plot has definatly improved in non adventure games, but to this day, plot is still not as good in other game genres as adventure games of old.

If his way of solving adventure games was to pixel hunt, it's no wonder he dislikes them.  I haven't played the KQ games in a while, but from what I remember, the vast majority of puzzles made logical sense.  Of course, as soon as he said his interest changed when instant gratification games like Half-Life came out, it pretty much nullified his entire viewpoint. :P

Yes but he connects this to adventure gaming, like being younger is why he liked adventures in the first place. I liked shows as a child I STILL like. So I'm saying he must have watched shows that would be bad to any audience at any time.

My dad had already read the article and waited around for me to get the part about KQ to see what my reaction would be ;P (He finds it all rather amusing :P)

He's certainly entitled to his opinion; it just saddens me to see KQ bashed so in such a major gaming magazine.

So, Neil asked for updates on my game programming class. I've only had one class period so far, but it seems like it's going to be a lot of work but a lot of fun. :D

The whole class is a "game". Our syllabus isn't a syllabus, but a manual. We have player summits instead of classes, quests instead of projects, challenges instead of tests, and one huge project called the Ultimate Mission. As we turn in work, we get points, and we level up as we get points. When we level up, we get 2 coins, which can be spent on power ups such as getting an extra cheat sheet on challenges or an extra day on a quest. XD XD XD

The Ultimate Mission that we work on throughout the whole semester is a 3-person project where we code a game engine and make one major game and one minor game to run on it. :D

The first class we spent a quarter of the class playing games online to help us determine what makes a good game vs a bad game. XD

Well, duh. Do you think they'd let us play the game before it was released and then let us tell everyone beforehand what exactly to expect?
The Beta Testers are not testing a game developed by VU. All VU has to do is endorse it.
So yes, we signed an NDA with POStudios. WIih POStudios, at the moment, being a totally non-profit company, the penalty can't be anything monetary. So, after all the effort it took us to be beta testers, think what would be the penalty if we didn't abide by the terms of the NDA. :deal:

Yep, and possibly a lot more, depending on the situation.  VU actually only granted legal permission to use Sierra-based IP (i.e. TSL) to POS, but this permission is only for the company as a whole.  No individual team member is permitted to use it however they please.  Doing so could easily be seen by VU as copyright infringement.

You have to remember that even though VU isn't involved with the development this game, they share ownership.

The books do have a pretty big fanbase...the books are a little more targeted towards girls though, I think.

Thats my 1 cent anyway. (Too cheap for two XD)

I think Connor gets a bad rap because people don't feel MoE belonged in the KQ series. I think that's mainly because MoE really wasn't an adventure game - there wasn't that much of a plot, and progress through the game was mainly through violence rather than intelligence. I tend to agree that MoE doesn't fit very well with the rest of the series, but I thought it was a decent game otherwise. Of course, I don't know if I would have had the patience to get through it if it weren't for god mode!

XD I love God Mode. It's become my personal savior for a lot of video games. And I really don't consider MoE a part of the KQ series. I would much rather exclude it from the series if I could. If only Roberta hadn't lost creative control...

Post by: dark-daventry on November 18, 2008, 10:14:05 AM
That's why I included it. I didn't want to exclude those who liked MoE. And perhaps someday I may begin writing my KQ novel once more... If I am allowed to obtain the publishing rights to the KQ books, then I may just write my own novel, in addition to compiling a collection of the first three novels, and re-releasing the Companion with an expanded section (though I would likely just have Peter Spear do the expanded sections...) Perhaps I'll even release a fan-fiction collection... Of course, this is all in the realm of dreams for right now...

Yes, but apparently there is no UI for it - you have to edit the persdict.dat file (in Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\~username~\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) in a text editor and remove the word.

I enjoy writing, but I never take the time to actually sit down and write a substantial amount. When I do sit down and write however, the words pour out of me like a never-ending faucet... I was at one point thinking of making a website that would compile all the KQ fan-fiction from around the web... But that project pretty much died out... A lot of the projects I helped out with or was involved in died out...

Yeah, she lost creative control. She had to take a backseat while other people butchered a series I came to know and love. And in the act of butchering it, they gave the ability to butcher actual characters to the players. Fighting and King's Quest just don't go hand in hand... MoE was a completely different genre than the previous KQ's in my opinion. I would file it under Action/Adventure, and not pure adventure... If only pure, true adventure games were as abundant as they were in my childhood...

I never thought about that, overall it's great as a game though, and I just replayed it because tsl is also in the land of the green isles, Tsl will make me like Kq6 more, and vice versa.  I'm excited!

Well, the first two chapters of Shadows are in the Green Isles, anyway. Chapter 3 is in Dreamworld (wherever that is). I don't know where The Two That are One and Eternities take place, though I'm pretty sure Daventry is in there somewhere.

So, we turned our games in on Monday for our game class. Since some of you wanted to see it, I'm trying to figure out how you can play our main game Shipwrecked without needing XNA and Visual C#. If you do have those, the project files are linked on this webpage (http://student.elon.edu/jbatchelor/) under Shipwrecked.

This  download (http://www.4shared.com/file/76340936/8664a741/Share.html) I tried to use the executable. There's a file called Shipwrecked.exe. I really don't know if that'll work though. You might need .Net Framework 2.0 & Service Pack 1 and DirectX, and possibly XNA Redistributable 2.0, from what I've read. :-\

There's one major bug that we didn't have time to figure out, and probably some minor ones, but it should be playable if it runs.

Title: Re: Newcomers - Introduction Thread!
Post by: Yonkey on May 12, 2009, 07:35:08 PM
When we released the public demo, the site kept crashing.  But, that was mainly due to the hosting company that we were on at the time not being able to handle the increased load.  The one we're on now is with hosting company we've used in the past for years, which is also the same one we were on when the Vivendi shutdown happened (i.e. when site activity was at its all-time peak).  I'll be putting the game itself on a different site specifically intended for high-traffic downloads, and purchasing a few accounts as well to balance the load.  So, don't worry, it's very unlikely that the servers will crash.  They might be slow for the first week or two, but they shouldn't crash.

I played it for a little while and I honestly never really enjoyed it. There wasn't enough plot, there wasn't a reason to keep going except to make a really awesome character, and that's not enough motivation for me. XD

That's kinda what I thought for a while -never payed much attention to the story - but then I started reading the lore on websites like Wowwikki. There's a actually a lot of story behind the game. It's half the reason I play the game now. :P

-Waiting for Legend of the Seeker to come on.

I love that series. I came into it a bit late and missed the first seven but I rally like it. Next week is the final and I hope the series is picked up again. I want to see more.

I would love to see that production studio do DragonLance. I think they could do it justice but I don't know who to write to suggest it.
:D You can watch all the full episodes on their site. And they have been approved for a second season. :D

So psyched for the finale!.

I forget if you've said, have you read the books?
No I haven't read any of them but I might put the first one on my list to see how it goes. Unfortunately my "to read" list keeps getting bigger and my time to read them hasn't. In some cases it think it's shortened. Not enough hours in the day.  :(

Glad to hear it's been picked up for a new season. They've done a great job so far. I hope they come out with it on blu-ray. I think I might buy it if the price it right.

Yes the final sounds interesting.

How close are they staying to the book and how much is being left out? How far are we into the book?

Post by: tessspoon on May 20, 2009, 04:01:40 PM
Umm... in one way they're very different, and in another they're similar. The characters and their values are the same, as is the very basic plot - Richard's a woodsguide in Westland, Kahlan's a Confessor helping him (in the books she's is the only one left), and they're trying to defeat Darkhen Rahl, but it's still a good bit different. Most of the stuff on the show is based on stuff that happens in the first book or even others later in the series, or was completely new.

A lot of the minor characters got changed a good bit - for example, the artist James who used magic is a bad guy working for Princess Violet and her mother in Tamarang.

It's changed so much that you can't really follow along with the book at all.

Post by: Shades2585 on May 21, 2009, 05:59:10 AM
Hummm... Interesting. A little disappointing though.  Well I guess the book will still be new and fresh and full of surprises then. (Whenever I get around to reading it that is. LOL)

Stay away from WoW... trust me.  I started playing that game a year ago when I stopped driving for a living and have been addicted ever since. 

Although it does save me money on game purchases... since I don't play anything else... so I suppose that's a good thing.  :)
Dude, I've never even considered trying WoW, but you guys are making me curious! 

I think I'll just stick to the Sims.  It's not like I need another game addiction.   :P

The last two are too short. They should be making them at least three hours. preferably four. I would love it if they did and Extended version like they did with Lord of the Rings.  That would be SOOOO Awesome.

Hmmm, it looks promising (http://mystmovie.com/). I have all the games, but I've never read the books (although I hear that they're very good). I'm glad that they decided to adapt one of the books (http://www.amazon.ca/Myst-Book-Tiana-Rand-Miller/dp/0786861606/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247067104&sr=1-4) to film, rather than trying to base it on one of the games. The games are terrific as games, but I think that it would be very hard to make them into good movies. RPG games like The Legend of Zelda (http://www.theherooftime.com/) are more suited to film adaptation.

Anyway, I hope they do a good job of the film.

That would be AWESOME. But I disagree about the last two, I thought they did a good job editing down the story without changing things around too much. I think Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire were VERY guilty of that. No house elves in Goblet?! Ridiculous.

Oh, you just opened up a whoooole world of sports-related innuendos. :P Unfortunately for Lance, by the time I'm famous enough to be on his radar I will probably also be on Adam Lambert's radar... and even all punked-out, Lance does not stand a chance against that man's voice. :P

Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: crayauchtin on March 15, 2010, 12:48:01 AM
I can't say them, you might think less of me. Let's just say most of them involve a "bat". ;P

T.R. Knight's cute and all, I guess, but I'm like "eh" about him, y'know? Besides, he's just an actor. That's what I do. We'd only have one industry cornered. And I love a man who can sing because music is like my serious weak-area talent-wise.
Whereas Adam Lambert, I love his voice almost as much as Darren Hayes' (and if he weren't already married, that'd be the plan, but I refuse to be the other woman :P) and I love his look.
I suppose if I HAD to pick another, I could be convinced to go with Jake Shears, although I think he might be married too so that wouldn't work out then.... :P

The principal dragged her away, and still he screamed "GET OUT MY FLAVUH!" With some cuss words in between of course. The horrific cries echoed through the halls, everyone mystified.

One of the older male teachers was approached by a girl while waiting in line for a ride. The girl walked right up to him and in all seriousness asked: "Where be the go out?"

By the way, Cray, your whip has no power over me.  Unless you wield the almighty Vampire Killer (http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire_Killer_Whip) from Castlevania, you got nothin!  Besides, I am female, I suffer more pain monthly than you suffer yearly!  If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!  :say:

Therefor it has little to do with beeing clean, and just a hollow argu'ent. I never said wo'an leave the seat down to inconvenience us 'en, it is just that they have no 'anners and are lazy!  ::) ::)

This is true: when one flushes, a mist rises from the bowl due to the mixing action of the water. This mist carries lots of nasties with it. With the lid open, it can reach farther in the room, which is more of an issue, say, at home where there may be things like toothbrushes in the room too. :P

27 testflushes , the cloth cover I put over the toilet has nothing on it!

12 testflushes with a blue-ish la'p to spot any 'ist, no 'ist spotted either!

You should get a better toilet! Also, we have nothing against people that put the lid down when they flush the toilet, as long as they put the lid and seat up after they are done. You have any idea what 'ess you get when you have to take a pee and the lid is down... who said anything about wo'an liking it clean? that is just wrong...

But that means you have to wait for it to finish flushing! Who wants to waste time doing that? :P

Restroom gremlins do not live in toilets!! They live in those air dry things for your hands -- you know, you push the button and the air comes out but your hands NEVER GET DRY. NEVER!

Why don't your hands dry?
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE GREMLINS ARE! It's all a trick!

But if the toilet seat is up, they can be easily shooed into the toilet, where they will get wet, melt (like a Wicked Witch would!), and be easily flushed!

I swear I have to explain everything to you people. ::)

(And, Haids, it was NOT a lie. It makes perfect sense. They live in the dryer, which we know because it does not dry. If they live in a dryer, then they must die in water. It's OBVIOUS. It's SCIENTIFIC!)

Every dryer I've ever used worked fine. The gremlins must've sabatoged all of the ones in your area, thanks to you leaving the seat up so they can escape.  ::)

To prove that we will have so'eone look for herself;

*grabs haids, put her up-side-down in the toilet and flushes her through*

If she never returns then 'e and Cray were wrong and there are Restroo' Gre'lins in the toilet, if she does return Jafar and Delling were wrong, there are no Gre'lins there and this is just another lie to cover the real reason why wo'an do not want to put the toilet seat up; they are selfish and lazy!

Title: Re: The Official General Chat Threade Returns!!
Post by: B'rrr on April 03, 2010, 02:19:12 AM
Actually no. There is no need for that, there were a few possibilities;

Haids would float - she 'ust be 'ade of wood, thus beeing a witch and we would burn her (ben a while since we burned so'eone, would have been fun! \o/)

Haids would never return  - This would be the worst option, not only would we never see our beloved Haids again but we can't be sure what happend. There would be a possibility that there were actually Gre'lins down there, but she could be eaten by a rando' aligator, sliced up by ninjaturtles or devoured by giant-killer-rats.

Haids would co'e back safely  - We all know that noone that has encountered Gre'lins lives to tell the tale, but Haids lives nonetheless, that can tell us two things; 1) There are Gre'lins down there, but they spared Haids live for a reason, that only reason can be that Haids is in league with the'.  This is not likely ofcourse, if Haids were in league with the Gre'lins why would she say earlier that the Gre'lins were down there? she would 'ore likely divert everyones attention to so'ething else. The second option is 'ore likely 2) There are no Gre'lins there!

Now we all know that Haids is biased, she does not want to put the toilet seat up, she supported the silly allegation of Gre'lins down the toilet and 'e and Cray beeing in league with the'. So whatever she says can't be trusted 'uch. However, her physical condition speaks for itself

She does not float
She is still alive
Gre'lins do not leave survivors
-> There are no Gre'lins down there.

It is always good to have logic and deduction on your side.

Since the seat is still down they can easily hold on to it if you try to push the' back. proper way to get rid of the' is; lid and seat up (as they should be in default!), push Gre'lin in the toilet, put seat and lid down, Flush! then put the seat and lid back up again, so you are ready for the next.

The title, my friends, will serve as a reminder to me and every other woman that toilet seats were made for women, and the idea that a woman would choose to put it up is pure malarky.  So Official Toilet Seat Putter Upper you may deem me, if only for the reason of understanding that I shall NEVER willingly raise the toilet seat for any reason other than to vomit!  :scholar:

You want to put it up, don't you? The desire is swelling in you now..
I have never been more attracted to you than I am now. :lovegoggles:

Haha, that is good to know, or scary *ponders*

I do like starwars, ever since I was a kid (and like 4-6 'ore then 1-3), but never concidered 'yself as a freak (don't have any lightsabers, dolls, or anything, i do have a cardga'e where I spend waaay too 'uch 'oney on when I was younger :P).

Careful with the Star Wars.... that's how this forum first ended up in CC's court!

Of course, if the toilet seat doesn't go up soon, we may have bigger things to worry about....

Put the toilet seat up! It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... sister. So, you have an older sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her, too. If you won't put the seat back up... then perhaps she will...

Yes, but England hasn't had a terribly interesting language since it stopped being declined and started to take after French. :( So you're actually welcome to France. :P Alsace and the Loire valley in particular are gorgeous. :P But do stay out of Paris; the Eiffel Tower is an eyesore that ought to have been demolished after the World Fair and not anywhere near as pretty as the Crystal Palace was supposed to have been. :P Enjoy your new territory. :D

Meh. ;P The colours in the Sistine Chapel are now so bright that it looks like a plexiglas cathedral. ;P Not something they were aiming for, I'm sure. :P

I don't mean to offend anyone, but it's silly to think that any place outside of Europe (except maybe Dubai, but even then I doubt it ::)) can have any building impressive enough to compete with Versailles or Sanssouci or Peterhof. :P The whole point of building palaces so incredibly stunning was to present an image to the world that money was no object and that anything the reigning monarch wanted would be done. :P They had to drain an entire swamp just to build Versailles and they constantly had to repipe the fountains of Peterhof because it gets bloody cold in Russia. ;P I highly doubt anyone else would ever go to so much effort to build something aesthetically pleasing and that many people will ever try to match what was done here anywhere else.

Would it be weird if I bought a cathedral and lived there?
No, it's not weird to want to live in a cathedral. I often wish I lived in a cathedral.

If you get rid of all those pesky benches you have a great area to play bumpercars!
That's not quite what I had in mind. XD

*sighs* MEN!

Cray, you may not build a nightclub in an ancient edifice. :P

Rob, the same goes for you and amusement parks. :P

And Brandon, you may not eat them!

Now, eye-candy:

The gold isn't that great at all, always get the feeling of trying to hard/over doing it when I see a building with that much gold

Have to agree with Rob on this one. It's too overdone, which to me makes it much less attractive.

And I just meant ancient places ought to be given due reverence, not eaten. :P That said, feel free to eat all the American cathedrals you want. :P

No! Better yet!

I'mma turn it into a nightclub, how awesome would that be? They did that in a Vampires: The Masquerade video game and they called it "Confessions". I could so do that! ;D

There's a little church in Liverpool thats been turned into a nightclub/restaurant and the interior is a fabulous setting for eating and a boogie!

it's nice and gothic...but then I think you need to be standing there in front of it as the picture doesnt really do justice to the immense size of the place...thats aweinspiring in itself!
