-.o Explain hard copy? And welcome to the depths. But hard copy WHAAAAA? When'd that happen?

Hard copy = physical version, like on a disk or something.

And it didn't happen! (at least, I don't think it happened!) But he bought Aquaria anyway, because it's awesome.

1)  Make a node where the first time Naija is in it, if she has discovered fish form, there will be a line of text.  She doesn't have to be wearing fish form, just have it in her inventory.

I think the hasSong(Song value) function is the important bit there. The value you're looking for should be SONG_FISHFORM = 10.

Holy shit! Those look really, really good.

Wait... what? Wasn't the official date the 21st?

I dunno! Probably it was at one point! I wasn't paying a lot of attention!

aint got no money

Sell your kidneys! Sell your lungs! Sell your parents! KILL A RICH MAN AND EAT HIS LIVER TO OBTAIN HIS POWERS OF WEALTH.

In conclusion, holy shit Portal 2 is fantastic. It is hours upon hours of hilarious, brain-twisting raw awesome injected directly into your brainstem. In the first sixty seconds of the game, I encountered no less than three things that I will be laughing at for days on end. IN THE FIRST SIXTY SECONDS.

It got better almost immediately.

My closet is very neat, and I'm perfectly sane!...I hope.

Mine too!

--although admittedly that may be due in part to the fact that it is empty, because all of my clothing is draped over chairs and I haven't gotten around to ironing it yet.

I *knew* someone would mention that!  xD
It's a greek name.

Hai there! ^_^

Heya, SuperDecimal! It's always great to see new faces around here.

Unless they're spammers, but you're clearly too cool to be one of those guys.

If it doesn't contain social awkwardness or embarrassing interpersonal situations, I will see it and I will love it to bits. Otherwise, I will shun it like the plague.

Inyssius, I appreciate you attempting to fight spam by redirecting it to a "Spam" page, but in the end this just makes more work for me since I have to delete both the original spam and the redirect. So, please stop.

If you (or anyone else for that matter) would like to volunteer as a spam fighter, I could give you delete rights so you can delete the spam properly.

Aww, I liked the Spam page. It had a gorilla in it.

(Yeah, delete rights would be awesome.)

Yeah Giant hips. ^__^;;
I reckoned with all that swimming, she'd need legs and thighs of steel. Also wanted to make her hands and feet more fin-like and make her body more sinewy to glide more easily in water.

I love it!

I've actually had some similar thoughts recently; in fact, I've been working on a character who'll probably have hands very much like Naija's right one in that pic.

Those are some fascinating pictures, BishopKayn! I feel inspired to go make something.

I can't define them, like.... give me a blue and purple pencil and tell me to point out the purple pencil and I will, give me a blue and a dark blue pencil and ask me to point out the purple one and I'll point at the blue one.

I've learned through the years that I'm not so much blind to them as long as I use logic to define them. xD

Interesting!

You know, that reminds me--XKCD did this great big survey a while back about identifying colors. It is pretty hilarious. You might find it interesting as well.

Also I hate April fools day.

April Fools' Day has the worst bad parts of literally any regular celebration I have ever encountered. I think everyone hates it, at least a little. (It can be occasionally hilarious or otherwise really interesting when it permits normally strait-laced institutions to loosen up and tell some obvious jokes, though. So, against my better judgement, I still rank it as like my fifth-favorite holiday. Even although great swathes of it do tend to inspire white-hot burning rage in me.)

Okay. As my astute readership may have already gathered, a difficult issue has come up in the development of the mod I'm currently working on.  The delays it has caused can no longer be borne... but I've been agonizing over this for days, and yet still no answer has come. So, I turn to you:

If someone is born with membranes stretching between their arms and legs, like a flying squirrel or a vampire squid, what on earth does that individual wear?

Please--if you know the answer, tell me quickly and put an end to this waking nightmare!

Games / Re: Your first Game

« on: March 30, 2011, 12:35:25 am »

Which was the first video game you have ever played? Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?

Man, there's a tough question. I'm fairly sure it was on a PC or an early-generation Macintosh. I was always more into watching other people play games than playing them myself--possibly out of necessity, since there were always fewer computers than people and I always hung out with kids who were older and more assertive than myself. As a result, I remember a lot of early videogames, but which ones did I actually play? I have absolutely no idea. I've been immersed in the subculture for literally longer than I can remember.

Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)

Friends. For most of my childhood, I probably could not name one male acquaintance under the age of 19 who was not at least somewhat into gaming. Obviously it rubbed off on me.

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?

Ha, now there's a memory. The first game that I got which wasn't either free or purchased by someone else... I believe it was Warcraft II, when I was eight or so. I didn't pay for it myself, though, not strictly speaking--I actually talked my school's budget allocation committee into supplying the needed funds, enlisted a bunch of other students, and (with their help) talked a couple of teachers into arranging a class field trip to an electronics store so we could buy it during school hours.

Which was the last one?

Magicka. Which I should start a thread about, come to think of it.

edit:

ARGH. If it's not one thing, it's another.

I'll see you guys in about twenty-four hours, mod in hand, and you all can decide if the mod is good enough to keep my hat out of my mouth and the Twilight Saga out of my brain... or not.
