As I reentered The Vortex on my way to v13-land, I began to fall...
After falling for minutes on end, I came across a blinding light...
I must have passed out from the experience, as I found myself sometime later in some sort of inter-dimensional nexus. It was as if vortexes from all over the space time continuum were converging all at once in The Bedroom.
Each of the pipes you see there seemed to lead to a different dimensions or, as we would call them, Blockland versions. The shorter ones lead to earlier and earlier versions, with the tallest one leading to v13-land. Off in the distance, I can see a gaping black hole in the ground with a large sign labeled "The Dark Ages". My guess is that it leads to vanilla Blockland. I'm headed there next.
Wish me luck...

And I thought I could date you D:
Not only am I a male, I am also 25. Both of these properties take me out of the dating pool for nearly everyone in Blockland.

I was rather hoping to see a video of your blockhead green screened into the real world.
Quite disappointing Trader D:
I'm behind the camera.

Once in the real world, I found myself outside my brother-in-law's house ... roped into playing a game of Yahtzee.

Not only is that seriously me ... it's also me, seriously.
Anyway, I'm headed back to v13 now to see what I can see.

« on: August 08, 2009, 05:34:29 PM »I lol'd. So Trader, will we be able to harness this vortex ability when we arrive at v13?
I seriously doubt it.
This is taking longer than I thought. A third tunnel opened in The Vortex, sucking me out into the real world. Seems like I'll be hanging out at some cookout for a while. Perhaps I can snag a picture of that too. We'll see...

Yes, I've been there several times. The problem is that I came back to v12 to say hello to some people, and now The Vortex is changing on me such that I can't find my way back.

Welcome to Zork (originally Dungeon)!
Dungeon is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it
you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortal
man. Hardened adventurers have run screaming from the terrors contained
within.
In Dungeon, the intrepid explorer delves into the forgotten secrets
of a lost labyrinth deep in the bowels of the earth, searching for
vast treasures long hidden from prying eyes, treasures guarded by
fearsome monsters and diabolical traps!
No DECsystem should be without one!
Dungeon was created at the Programming Technology Division of the MIT
Laboratory for Computer Science by Tim Anderson, Marc Blank, Bruce
Daniels, and Dave Lebling. It was inspired by the Adventure game of
Crowther and Woods, and the Dungeons and Dragons game of Gygax
and Arneson. The original version was written in MDL (alias MUDDLE).
The current version was translated from MDL into FORTRAN IV by
a somewhat paranoid DEC engineer who prefers to remain anonymous,
and was later translated to C.
On-line information may be obtained with the commands HELP and INFO.
This version is a PHP web hack of the original Dungeon, which allows
you to LOGIN, SAVE, and RESTORE your game. You can see your fellow
players, but since they are running their own instance of the game
you can't do much other than SAY things to them.. or at least you will
be able to once that bit has been coded. It is a work in progress.
Have fun.

Haha, good times.
Indeed, if only I had the time to delve into that world. But, for now at least, I must head back to v13.

As I exited The Vortex, an Ominous Voice spoke these words:
Holy stuff, it dropped me off in loving Zork! I'm sure the house looks a lot bigger from the inside, Ominous Voice.
Time to find my way back to the fork in The Vortex...
Quote from: Ominous Voice
You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
Holy stuff, it dropped me off in loving Zork! I'm sure the house looks a lot bigger from the inside, Ominous Voice.

Pictures don't make sounds, and there's no blue box. However, I believe your reference is escaping me.
