Off Topic / Voice Recognition.

« on: December 14, 2010, 06:55:35 PM »

Yes, who hasn't heard of how advanced voice recognition technology is and the ease of writing it brings us all. Why, here is a story Qwepir and I made using this wonderful tool:

Once upon a time there was a lone soldier who was allergic to grass and phone₁.  That older head₂ had the nose of a bumblebee and berated₃.  Can you remember I did not ever say and berated.  Towers all the way to grandma's house₄.  Folger county was bounded₅ by Mexican immigrants in 1809. It was a peaceful town until the cowboys and samurai brought their bloody war to it.  Back to the lone soldier story.  He was drinking all these warnings₆ when he suddenly realized that you're gonna die good and whether do a nude to convene erated denied that can lead to a pack of the above a popup if two erated that these edits a suntan erated to erated₇.  Suddenly a cowboy jumped out of A bush and totally killed all the samurai with Bob Dylan the villain₈. And who can deny how totally awesome that would be.

¹ Qwepir said "fun"
² Tingalz said "He had"
³ Qwepir coughed
⁴ We seriously don't know
⁵ Tingalz said "founded"
⁶ Qwepir said "coffee"
⁷ Qwepir and Tingalz said "period" repeatedly, trying to get this mad machine to stop.
⁸ Tingalz said "a herring"

needless to say it was a great learning experience!

Forum Games / SPACE ADVENTURE REDUX - beter than deadrooster!!

« on: September 17, 2010, 05:57:21 PM »

(old OPs can be found here and here)
(First Redux post)

I AM THE ONLY ONE CONTROLLING THE EVENTS OF THIS ADVENTURE. YOU CAN ONLY POST SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS. THIS IS NOT YOUR PLAYGROUND. THIS IS ALSO NOT AN RP.

SPACE ADVENTURE REDUX
Is a 2D forum adventure which takes place across the galaxy in the year 2795, 2 years after it's prequel. Use the old OPs to try and figure out how to play, but it's pretty obvious. There will probably be a tutorial mission.

After the assault on the Kresh Moonship, the Kresh pulled back once more and disappeared. The Confederation of Humanity took the large station over and began remodifying it. This built tension with the Iconians, as they believe that Kresh technology will eventually lead to races becoming just like the Kresh, collective-minded monsters who abuse living matter for power. The Kalakarg, however, seemed to find it more fascinating than even the Humans, so they funded and helped the project heavily. Thanks to them, progress rates tripled. However, more news came in from the northern empires, the Toraai, Isekut, and Kanulom. Their war against the Toraai raged on, and the Toraai started to fall back to Lacamptu space. The Lacapmtu protested this, and skirmishes start on neutral zone border colonies. Humans and Kalakarg, having a break from Kresh activity, join and help the Lacamptu, and thus the Lacamptu Border Wars start. The Toraai, being cornered, become desperate and start launching more hive ships. Suddenly, the Kresh struck again, attacking many small worlds of almost every race, including the Isekut but not Toraai. New kresh ships were identified, and are referred to as "Generation 2". These attacks gave the Toraai an advantage, and they took back several worlds. Meanwhile, in an attack on Rotidor, a human world, a small fleet flagship which was holding several ship commanders, including the commander of the Buffalo dreadnaught, gets destroyed, but the officers escape on a shuttle...

We have a Formspring.

35x50 SPACE ADVENTURE
is a 2D forum game set in the year 2768, in which you are the captain of a brand new ship of the Confederation of Humanity. The gameplay is ship combat in which you will need to think strategically in use of cannons and power diverting, i.e. cannons will have recharge time and there will be limited power at once. Over time you will be able to upgrade and repair your ship at space stations to have stronger cannons, faster engines, and more efficient power cores. If the ship is destroyed, you will lose everything you had on the old ship and be back with the stock model.

Off Topic / Electricity just happened

« on: August 04, 2010, 02:24:33 PM »

I was minding my own business on the computer, and then all of a sudden everything electrical in my house shorted out for a second and made a stuff ton of weird sounds. It didn't shut off my computer, but the monitor was off for a moment. Then the radio turned on by itself during a commercial about apple products. I think this all may have something to do with this big storm to the north of me, either that or we're currently being invaded by aliens.

General Discussion / Bros: Airshow, STARTS SOME loving OTHER TIME

« on: July 29, 2010, 09:10:42 PM »

Once, I was flying around and stuff on a server. Then It hit me that an airshow in Blockland would be cool beans. Then I remembered I had this clan and my best friend reaper.

What it means

A couple bros members will fly around while you regulars are in bleachers surrounded by invisible walls. Maybe we'll give you guns. Maybe we'll be the ones with guns. We'll do tricks and stuff and maybe try to go through these rings we haven't built quite yet. So, it starts Sunday at 4:00 Eastern Daylight Time and ends when it becomes an out of control dogfight and not an airshow anymore.

Pilots so far:

1. Tingalz

2. reaper

3. Infomaniac

5. HGrumpy

Oh, and if you want to be a pilot:
too bad lolololololololololololol
Come to reapers server before the show and show us your skill.

Off Topic / Severe Weather

« on: May 21, 2010, 06:18:20 PM »

There is some really severe weather going on around where I live (Cincinnati Tri-State area).  There has been reported that maybe a tornado has touched town somewhere, but those storms aren't headed in my direction.  Where I live, we were getting some rain and thunder earlier, but it has passed.  Discuss :C.

Games / SimAnt

« on: April 25, 2010, 01:11:40 PM »

Look what I found in an old stack of CDs :D

Description:

SimAnt is a single player ant colony simulator released in 1991 by Maxis. You play as the black ants at war with the red ants, while overcoming obstacles like spiders, antlion traps, starvation, and the lawnmower. Eventually, if you're in a full game, you can take over the house since apparently the guy who lives there doesn't know how to hire an exterminator.

Gameplay:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ucLyqEboGM

There are three main modes of play; Full game, Quck game, and Experimental. In the full game, you battle the red ants across the yard and house while keeping your queens alive. In the quick game, it's similar to a skirmish mode in most RTS's. You can only fight in one patch of ground and the main goal is to kill the enemy's queen. Experimental is a god mode, where you have tools that can place pheromone trails, maze walls, rocks, ants, pesticides and food.


SimAnt is abandonware, so that means you can get it on the internet legally. I'm not sure if the CD version is sold anymore. If you find one, BE SURE TO USE DOS BOX BECAUSE ODDS ARE YOU DON'T HAVE AN A:\ FLOPPY.

Who else thinks this game is awesome?
