I just get the urge to sing "I'd buy you a fur coat... but not a real fur coat, that's cruel" and such. Just like on the last one of these...

Uh... if TM was willing to let you use his time machine, I greatly doubt you'd need that much. After all, Louisiana went for only $15 *million*.

...if you hated Myst so much, why did you play the sequel?

My thinking was "If the original sucked this bad, the sequel has to be better."

I was wrong. Simply no action in either game. Both exemplify why you should NEVER put more value in graphics than gameplay. They simply have nothing gameplay-wise. If there were more games like them, I would give up gaming altogether.

I would equate the gameplay in Riven to going through a maze that has beautiful scenery. I would equate the experience of playing it to stabbing myself in the eyes with a rusty, serrated kitchen knife. Now that I think about it, Riven and Myst are the games I hate the most. Actually, hate isn't a strong enough word. It's more like absolute loathing with every fiber of my being.

A question for those who despise Myst: have you perchance played Secret of Monkey Island or any of the other SCUMM point and click games? Do you dislike those as well?

UA, Java can connect to a server-side storage. Runescape runs on this - one big Java applet.
Flash I have no idea about. But I remember several internet flash games with a highscore list stored on the server, which would imply that the game sent back some information to the server.

TM: We'd be laughing if he'd set it up and asked us to join it. There is irony in repetitive stupidity. :P
But right now, he's asking about the technical aspect, and apparently that's an interesting subject.

Edit: Corrected.

JavaScript can help if you know it, but a BBS with it might be a little clunky.

"Clunky." "Might." A BBS in JavaScript. *wibble* :eek:

That said, a board could be made in Java or Flash (both are interpreted on the client side, so no server issues like with PHP), but it would not only be clunky and take more time to make than a real forum, but would be basically the equivalent of writing a text document with MS Paint. Possible, but... wrong.
