friend sent me this link.. it starts the on the most recent page rather than the first page so just click "first day". and then keep hitting "next day" until you run out of pages. It's a webcomic. Not bad.. don't click on "today" as it will just jump all the pages to the end

moo (oh.. random discovery for you monty python fans.. I just discovered that on a qwerty keyboard if your right hand is offset and you try to type moo.. you instead get nii... nii nii nii!!)

"...Gothmog, lord of corn and compass..." It's amazing what you can find on YouTube these days

Rofl..."Die...die, evil blue things..."
Very funny stuff

. It was rather annoying the way he kept clicking on the health bars to go into the inventory and would just click items on ther to put them in the inventory and then pick them up and move them, and he didn't seem to know how to use the purse and stuff but that's cool - it's kinda sweet that there are still people out there who don't know every little square centimetre of these dungeons and how to play them, eh?

I hope he continues that...is funny

I just found the first part where he actually reincarnates Grinney. I'm scared for life!

It would be nice to see if his vids get new players, and with the recent joining of a few new members, maybe they have already?

He really needs to get a better mic though and not be quite so close to it. His accented plosives are awful and make it hard to hear what he's going on about.

Post by **Ameena** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 10:03 am

I've watched all four of his vids now...I like his commentary as I find it funny, though I do keep trying to tell him stuff, like "Noo, don't click there!" or "No, put it in the hand..." lol. I do hope he continues these

Yeah, it's funny watching others play, as you noted it's funny how he keeps putting things in the inventory directly, then goes in to find it and manipulate it. "Oi, RIGHT click and do it all in one move you plonker!"

It's a shame he doesn't elaborate more though. Reincarnating Mophus should have had a little story about his powerful grin weapon, not just "I shall name him.... Grinney".

I think it would be better if he actually clicked on the movement icons for a video, it's really difficult to see what he's doing when it's all done with the keyboard and actually makes it look like the movement is screwed...

Nice work though. It's given me ideas about integrating video into the codex at some point.

Pretty nice -- looks like it will take a long time to read up to the present day, there's two years worth of stuff here. Do you know what software it's made with?

Post by **cowsmanaut** » Thu Apr 03, 2008 3:51 am

no idea, but I'll guess 3DSmax since a lot of people doing independant stuff use it.

I only read about 40 pages or so.. there are a lot. but it was fun

This has to be the best flash game ever! So simple but quite a chuckle at the end

You absoultely must have Flash Player 9 installed before playing as the game is unplayable without it and the ending is immediately spoiled. You're best off installing it just incase as I didn't have it

Haven't heard of that yet, and it actually sounds like something Japanese people would come up with.

The latest on OML...chuck a blob of snot (with a cute face) as far as you can...

http://onemorelevel.com/game/snot_put

My best score is 1885.9m, which was what I got on my first shot. Despite having had, ooh, I dunno, maybe another thirty-odd goes (wasn't counting but I know it was lots), about the nearest I managed to get to that was about 1500-ish. And I only got that once. Lol.

5 tries got me 4237.9m

I can't come close to that anymore. Still, that's pretty good.

Yeah, welll... I got 10 m no kidding, I kind of threw it and it came back and hit me in the face. The next time was 3684 m so I guess I'm learning but with green stuff all over my face.

Another one of those games that yell "Yes, I am THAT stupid!" from the get-go and that you want to turn off after your first attempt - and still continue playing after several hours...

It seems all my good attempts are slightly above the 2000 mark, my best one is 2431,5.

EDIT: Wow, 3415,3! No idea how I did it, though.

There are TWO center of gravities, if you observe carefully. Use it to your advantage.
