Seriously, I'm over this ****. Someone close the topic, too, if possible please. (If I don't stop myself from caring, this topic would never end, so burninate this from the face of the earth if need be!) -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Even if I did get them to play SW games, it wouldn't be multi-player (necessarily). Oh well. I'd rather do a Geneforge one anyway. Which would be hard because there is only one shaper at a time in the Geneforge series, so it'd have to be much more difficult. Also, I'd combine stuff from 2 into it. It'd be really weird and full of discontinuities, but it'd be awesome. Eh? ;) [ Saturday, August 23, 2003 23:17: Message edited by: Trogdor the Burninator ] -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

Hey, could someone design a D and D scenario based on BoA when it comes out? I'm really tired of the old way and my friends don't play SW games so it'd be cool. Well, I guess it could be based on ANY SW game but this is a BoA forum, see? I could do it, but I'd probably give up halfway just because it would be too complicated for my incompetant work-ethic. :( Edit: Alright, quasi-cool idea. :mad: [ Saturday, August 23, 2003 00:15: Message edited by: Trogdor the Burninator ] -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Yeah, bands of people are what caused all the changes in history. Sure, one man can make a difference, but only if he does this by leading a bunch of people to help him. :D But singleton just makes the plot SO much easier to work with. And coding wise, too. All those little things where people have reactions like: "A dwarf, a man, and an elf?!?!" Or maybe something like an item that only a rogue can use and you don't have any rogues...oh, that's not hard, just irritating. ;) To tell you the truth, I don't even know WHAT I'm talking about when I talk in this forum. I'm just a crazy old man, I guess. :P -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

Hmm..I think I'll only respond to the off-topic topics :D ! Karzoth, when you piss people off, you should TRY to be doing it. Otherwise you end up apologizing. So just be like me :P . Note: I often correct myself and accept others to be right but NEVER do I say I am "sorry." I accept the consequences of my actions as is. As for the way Yoda talks...Arancaytar was right: he DOES end every sentence with a verb. Why? This is a subtle joke (well, other than it just sounds funny). This is PROPER grammar in German. And English is just a form a German that has been reformed over the hundreds of years (also, a little of the romantic tongues were mixed in). Yoda is very old. 900 years old it seems. If he existed in our world, he would have had to adapt from German to "early" English (forgot actual name!) to Middle English to Modern English. Maybe more. I don't know about you, but I'D be confused if I had to learn the SAME language half a dozen times! -Trogdor, he is wont of a world without plagiarism in a world run by P. Diddy. :D -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

Would it be possible to make a tile play a sample of Yngwie Malmsteen shredding a scale when stepped on? 'Cause I might be inclined to do a scenario where that happened every three seconds. :D -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Seriously, adding swashbuckling-on-the-high-seas excitement would be too awesome! Man, there was this neglected, old NES game (to be fair, it was neglected because it came out after SNES did :eek: ) simply called "Pirates!" that was an RPG- of all things- where you sailed around until you met another boat (enemy or otherwise ;) ). Then the game went into battle mode and the two ships fired at eachother. Winning at this type of combat proved impossible, but what was awesome was crashing into the other boat. If you did this, a picture of you with your flaming boat behind you would come up and a subtitle that read something like, "You gallantly board their ship. Prepare for hand-to-hand battle!" Then you'd get to sword-duel the captain and if you beat him before all your crew were killed, he'd surrender and you'd still win. Maybe if this was done in BoA, it would be best to skip straight to the boarding fight when another ship met you in the water. Raga! :D -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Well, you can move in 8 directions (up,up-right, right, down-right, down, down-left, left, up-left) but there's only 4 directions for each graphic, right? This is kinda confusing. Or ARE there 8? -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

What is this, Marathon oo or Escape Velocity? Think about it this way: the point of Blades of [anything] is that the user can create one party and play many or even all scenarios with them. So if Ice Lances hits all enemies for 1000 damage and casts War Blessing and Haste on all allies no matter the level of it in one game, the user would be tempted to not level that up at all and would probably die later on (especially since he most likely would have worked to give all party members this spell, then spend his money on stupid things) whenever he would do other scenarios from lack of effective character developement. Besides, changing the physics of the spell basically changes out the spell entirely. I mean, in a lot of games, there are spells like Firebolt and Fireball that are entirely the same except for damage. You might as well ask if you can overhaul the engine. I suppose one could use ResCompare or Installer VISE software to provide supplemental sound and graphical data but I don't know if they'll put such a big file on the site. Crap, why don't you try to put music to your scenario while you're at it? ;) And if yer gonna put music to yer scenario...I suggest-... pffbt! I can't even type it. The anger that would come about by mentioning that three letter name AGAIN would be too much :D -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Could an administrator please close the poll? I'm tired of people complaining. It's as if they're being FORCED to take it! And as if they actually have the option of putting music to the game! And as if I didn't specifically call the poll "How will you choose to rock?"! I mean, you can't rock very well with classical music, people! Megadeth, bland? Feh? You must be confused with Anthrax or latter Metallica. :D If I had said Ricard Wagner, people would probably complain and say I'm anti-Sematic. And he's friggin' perfect. So you see, there is just no winning when dealing with people with NO classical training! :P :mad: Maybe I shouldn't have listed Dio so many times...or maybe you all should hear a Dio song sometime, hosers. Take off, eh? -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

"They"? "Dio" is a band, yes, but I'm referring more specifically to the man with the last name of "Dio." Ronnie James Dio has been in several bands, here are all of them: The Vegas Kings (garage band?), Electric Elves (garage?), Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and finally..."Dio." His most medieval, recorder/lute/clav-y stuff was Rainbow...but I only say that because I'm not familiar with anything before that. Well, can we just end this topic on the note that: "Enya definately does not work with fantasy RPG stuff." Honestly, someone should throw a brick with a note that has that phrase attached to it through Peter Jackson's window. :mad: -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Well, the REAL point of this poll was just to see how many people would actually hit a button that said: "Yes, I'm an idiot..." And quite frankly, more than 50% of you hit it so I can't help but laugh. Trogdor strikes again! Bwa hahahhahaha! :D -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

Julmuri's signature brings up a good point: Zep should have been a choice. Although I prefer Iommi's guitar work to Page's, and Geezer's bass lines better as well....and Ward's style over Bonham's need to show off in a solo (drums don't deserve solos :P ) ...but I think I like Plant to Ozzy. I mean, Ozzy sings WAY better blues than Plant (have you heard the Ozz at blues? He's awesome!). But Plant rocks more. Also, Ozzy plays the mouth harp in a medley on the first album. Talk about an instrument that doesn't get used enough ;) . Of course, Dio annihilates both of them, but he isn't generally associated with Sab. What was I talking about? Duh.....whatever.

I'm done debating. Iam being childish by doing so. But I just realized that I do need to point out something affecting the poll: Ronnie James Dio is a singer. As such, "Black Sabbath (with Ronnie James Dio)" would mean no Ozzy. Sorry if this changes your vote for Sab. :( Too bad you CAN'T change your vote now! :P Sabbath rules!!! Geezer and Iommi forever!! :mad: [ Thursday, July 24, 2003 00:07: Message edited by: Trogdor the Burninator ] -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination...

You know what's too vague? Your complaint is too vague! Honestly, techno has no place in REAL life much less virtual reality. Any idiot can do techno...and punk...and rap...actually, any idiot can ask a producer to just get them a composer, so that's the state of pop music now (and has been for some time). And NO the ability for anybody to do it is NOT the point of music. Music is SUPPOSED to be art and art is SUPPOSED to require skill and technique on behalf of the ARTIST. I'm sorry. I'm getting all flustered. I'm insulting you when I should be perfectly capable of civil communications. Let me try to reiterate in a less offensive way... I guess what I'm asking is: "Are you defending today's losers against the likes of Ludwig Van Beethoven and Michael Praetorius?" As for Megadeth...uh, they're just cool man. :D Oh, and as for Dio...I repeat, just ask Jack Black. ;) PS Wait, about that plot thing: what was I supposed to do, make a scale from 1 to 10 of "Avernum to random idiocy"?!? Honestly. -------------------- ...and all was laid to burnination... Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |

What are you guys talking about? Are you ignoring half of what I'm asking? I mean, I consider anyone not familiar with music from the Renaissance and/or the Romantic period to be the kind of person who only listens to what's goin' on in the "now" because I'm a jerk like that. As for Ronnie Dio...well, you'd have to be familiar with the man's work to understand the humor. Just ask Jack Black, he'll tell you. ;) Oh, and last time I checked, "somewhere between Avernum and random idiocy" was a WIDE range of plot choices. Unless YOU consider Avernum's plot as random idiocy. I don't. Guffaw, indeed. Posts: 153 | Registered: Tuesday, July 22 2003 07:00 |
