There is already a grapling hook like weapon called the ninja rope, sadly it is not polished though...
I seriously want to hurt tcxxx572.
Every time a new game comes out, some half-wit has to come and suggest we turn Blockland into that game. Allow me to furnish this outlandish remark with some examples:
- GTA VC and SA
- Portal
- Half-Life 2
- Mario Galaxy
- Halo
- Phantom Hourglass
- Ratchet and Clank
- Conker's Bad Fur Day
- Some crap about Kirby
- Stargate SG-1 (Its a series, but its in the ballpark)
- Spiderman (same deal)
- Dance Dance Revolution(??)
I think you get the idea. Blockland is about making nice little houses out of blockos, sitting in them for a while, then blowing them up in some crazy minigame.
I kinda agree with what you are saying, but with a difference:
I think it is bad when people want to recreate entire games and put it in blockland, with is A.Often impossible and B.Pointless, because people play blockland, and they could easily play that game if wanted to do that stuff.
But: I think it is all right to take specific aspects of games and make them into mods because they can be truly fun. An example: portal: portal gun is a really fun toy, but I really hope nobody recreates the entire portal game, because that would be lame...
Another example is a Stargate mod: It would really be fun to have a star gate for making mini worlds and traveling between, but when someone makes a Stargate, every weapon in the show, every vehicle in the show, and makes a ton of maps depicting different Stargate places, thats when it gets out of hand.
