As for energy being "lost" and our doom, we believe that energy can be converted or transferred, but it is never lost. The universe, even if it expands to the point of catastrophe (for us, anyway), will still have energy, mass, and gravity though they might not interact in their current array. Since this would take a fair ammount of time, and since there exists lines of research towards this end, could we not modify our orbit to maintain relative position? Could you kindly list your sources? I am intruiged by this line of thinking and wish to learn more.

Windows Media Player runs on Macs, but some enhancements are missing. Microsoft is like that. (I would guess, with little knowledge, that some enhancements are also missing on Windows. Microsoft is like that too.)

I needed to download some things to get 3ivx working with quicktime on a Mac. http://www.3ivx.com/ is, unsurprisingly, the place to get them.

—Alorael, who is too lazy to worry about having more than one movie player. Therefore he is willing to expend the effort to find all the necessary bits and pieces to make Quicktime work.

About the custom objects script: make sure you've defined both te_which_sheet and te_which_icon. If you haven't, define them both. Also, if you're on Windows, make sure the graphic has the right name: G500.bmp or whatever the number is, or on Mac, that you have a properly formatted cmg file.

About the text bubbles: you need to clear a text bubble before you can display a new one, and you need to refresh the screen in order for any change to show up. Also you need to pause so that someone can read the bubble. That means that putting a single text bubble on the screen usually looks like this:

Originally written by Lochmacher:

While everyone has posited interesting and surprisingly intuitive ideas, they are limiting themselves by applying conventions and words to their thoughts. Why not have a species that is self-aware and one with all? It would not need a house, because the idea of a house is already part of it's existence. Hands? The idea of hands to manipulate would be unnecessary as all things are accessible, all relations moot. It is the water, it is the tree, it is the fruit. What creature would drink itself? Rend itself? Eat itself? Short of being incredibly dull (the game would be a blank screen since all things, being part of a whole, would not function without the sum of all, there would be no distinction between elements, sounds, feelings), the game would not even be a game, as to think of it as such would be to, again, apply words and notions to it and thus it would not be the real game. Though I speak of this, I do not know it for to know it is to not speak of it. :)

If this sounds familiar, yes... I stole it. See Taoism, Buddhism, and Plagarism (the last of which I was careful to avoid through practised re-phrasing).
