Holy Sweet Sweetbreads!  My head asplode.  There is entirely too much thinking about such mundane details here.  It's like you got together and smoked forty bongloads of weed and just started talking!

I don't think I ever thought this much about any subject in my life!

LOL

Now you know how I feel everytime I see one of these threads going on about. I'm sorry, Katie, I know you  are trying to keep the peace in this thread, but I just had to say it. If we had Karma in our forums, I would have given BT at least 87 karma points for this.

Thanks, BT, I needed that laugh.

I'm sitting on my hands for this one.

Literally.

I am typing this with my nose.

What I wanna know is how he hit the shift key to get those capital letters.... well, I suppose I could've hit caps lock. ;P

I use caps-lock instead of shift in my typing. I use the hunt and peck method to type, so what lamb did is pretty easy if you're skilled like I am. homerow FTL

Really? Wow. That sounds like it must take much longer!

I type mainly with two fingers on each hand instead of all five, granted, but I still use the shift key. A few other fingers have slowly become part of the process over the years, though.

Actually, not at all. I'm a very fast typist. You'd be surprised. Some people just stare at me typing in awe.

Maybe I'm in the minority,  but I was actually taught HOW to type in school.  :)  Now granted, I've altered the traditional finger positioning and movements and such into my own personal style, but typically I type extremely fast and without ever looking at the keyboard.  You almost have to be a fast typist if you want to do any kind of post-graduate work in the humanities.  My Master's thesis was well over 100 pages long.  ;)

KatieHal

I took a typing class in middle school, but I was horrible at not looking at the keys and typing at the same time back then. Suffice to say I've much improved since then!

But this is rather off-topic by now :)

I joke with Emily sometimes about how when I would approach her at her desk in Telltale, she would be talking to me while still typing on her keyboard. She would just raise her head, talk to me, and continue to type on her keyboard as she was having a conversation with me. Freaked me out!!! That girl can type and FAST :)

I can type fast too. After so many years of working on this project, and communicating through MSN for the most part of it, you get to learn how to type really fast. There are some really slow typers on our team, mainly Petter, that really make me desperate when chatting with them. Thank God we now use skype most of the times!

Anyhow, back to topic!

I read the first page of this thread... only to find that by the end of the first page, my eyes had rolled back into my skull.

Seriously Baggins... you are a compendium of knowledge.  A real life Crispin.

Now if only you could formulate your vast wealth of knowledge into something that was as engaging as it is informative (and perhaps cut down on the multitude of quotes in a post, as it gives the appearance that you are breaking down the post you are responding to into bite-sized pieces and then blowing up said pieces with a BFG-9000).

Didn't think so.  :)

I say we should petition Wilco to assign Baggins a special title...

Grahaminator

After all.... anyone with that much knowledge of the KQ universe and that much post destruction capabilities at his disposal should have a title that befits his special talents, yes?   :P

If anyone is going to be named Grahaminator it should be someone who is actually named Graham....... *cough* :P

That's Graham in the photo to the left (my character in LOTRO), the character is actually named Graham.

Just noticed a post by one of the Developers of KQ3Redux, that actually praises my work over on the Omnipedia concerning their timeline subject, here;

QuoteIt can take a few playthroughs of both Romancing the Stones and King's Quest III Redux to get all the links for the Father and Leginimor and how they tie together to form the entire back-story of both games (and even the events that occurred before the games). One site that has done a very good job at arranging the timeline and historical events of our King's Quest 2 remake, is the King's Quest Omipedia wiki:-Anonymous Game Creator 2

Such kind words from them, and shows how great and respectful team that they actually are.

If any of AGDI's developers read this, I say thank you.
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

It's a shame the Hovitos don't know you like I do, Belloq.

That person typing this post? His name is Graham. Therefore, he (that is to say, I) should be the Grahaminator.

*takes a very theatrical bow*

But, Baggins, you can totally be the Daventronian. That's fine.
