Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, February 9 2006 05:07 Profile Homepage #82 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Hey, why does tentacle mean seafood? Terrestrial animals haven't evolved tentacles. I wonder why not. Maybe fingers are as close as it gets. So we are all tentacle monsters. Globber globber! Funnily enough, there was a discussion on this exact topic on one of the game forums. The general conclusion we reached was that a creature with boneless tentacles would likely have difficulty supporting its own weight on land. (An octopus can "walk" on dry land, but not very well.) Mind you, an elephant's trunk isn't so different from a tentacle, when you think about it. So maybe the general principle is still useful on land, but other appendages would be needed for locomotion. Fun fact: technically, the appendages an octopus has are called arms, not tentacles. A squid has both tentacles and arms; an octopus has only arms.

Very tasty. Plus eating actual tentacles is a way of realizing you're really an adult that has far fewer concomitant complications than any of the more widely recognized rites of passage. See, now you've gone and made me mention this. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Member # 869	written Thursday, February 9 2006 00:26 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by spidersilk: Does the shade go away eventually, or is it always there after a certain point? The shade moves semi-randomly between Silvar and Formello. Also, you can eventually kill the shade, which is another way of making it go away. (In fact, by the time you finally finish the translation quest, you may well have killed the shades already. But you won't be doing either for a long time yet.)

Stuck in-between Honeycomb! in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, February 8 2006 03:19 Profile Homepage #1 Wow. Haven't heard of that one before. Fortunately, you can rescue your game by typing Shift-D, and then entering backtostart in the window that appears. You'll instantly be taken back to Fort Monastery. There are other cheat codes for A4 as well, as described in this thread.

OS X updates and registered copies in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, February 7 2006 17:11 Profile Homepage #1 I think all you have to do to reregister is move your old preferences file from the OS 9 system folder to Users/apple/Library/Preferences (which is its new location for the OS X version). If that doesn't work, email Spiderweb for a new registration code. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
