Cool stuff you've found on the web

Yeah, I've gotten to know him through comedy podcast stuff over the last few years - he's great

Reggie Watts is my new idol (I know, I'm 36, but whatever). This guy looks like they put several genius into one body.

That just changed some of the boundaries in my world.... total genius. Thank you!

[Seriously Unserious]

Yeah, I'm definitely impressed with Reggie Watts.

Yahoo's favorite picks

[Chaos-Shaman]

nice, that's the kind of work that is fun to do, not too hard... is there a crossbreed you'd like SU? maybe even triple or quad breed...

[Seriously Unserious]

how about a gorilla and a cobra? That should make something really odd looking.

[Chaos-Shaman]

hmmm, yeah, do you have the pics already?

[Seriously Unserious]

No, but I could dig something up pretty fast with an image search.

[Chaos-Shaman]

do it SU, i have fooled around with blending before, as long as you have a source with similar colour, otherwise it is much more difficult to blend.

[Gambit37]

Wow, that stuff still going? We did some of those hybrids here many years ago. Shame I can't seem to find them anymore.

In other news, here's a metal version of the original Tomb Raider theme!

some people just have the feel, nice

[Seriously Unserious]

yeah, I'd say that was pretty badass.

This always puts my head straight when I need a little perspective.

That was incredible!

[Chaos-Shaman]

very nice, the tune was also nice gude. when and if any of you get your hands on the magic crystals of DMT, you'll see a scale that will astonish you beyond belief, it'll open the door to the universe, but that's all i can tell, the rest i'd love for ya all to find out. it's not a joke. the scale will make more sense, believe me, we're not alone.

[ian_scho]

Thanks for sharing that link.

The older version of the Scale of the Universe thingy used the menu music from Spore .

[Chaos-Shaman]

cool, never checked out Spore, read about it and its morphing i think it does to create creatures.

[Seriously Unserious]

I love Spore. I haven't played it in a while though, I kind of gave up on it after I ran into this weird bug that kept causing me to get shorted on the number of cities in the civilization level, that made it unwinable. Still, one of my favorite parts was messing around in the creature creator making all kinds of strange creatures.

[Chaos-Shaman]

i should check spore out.... get back to me SU, not heard a peep from you since i sent that directory.

[Ameena]

Hehe yeah, Spore is good fun. Haven't played it for a while now but I should get back to it at some point. I never really got round to messing around with the Asymmetry feature they added in. The Creature creator is my favourite part of the game, but it can be quite fun making spcaceships and stuff as well. I know I also messed around trying to create creatures from stuff like Doctor Who, Oddworld, and Dungeon Master. They were mostly a bit crap but never mind, I had fun making them .
Never came across any major bugs...did you try starting a new game and seeing if it came up again, SU? It doesn't take long to get to the Civ stage once you know what you're doing...though I tend to spend ages in the Creature stage, gathering every single body part .

Here's a kickstarter for some fantasy music incase anyone is interested:

One of the GMs from the Lone Wolf boards vouched for the project, having heard priviews and even launching a (non-LW) game based on it!

Yes, I could recreate that particular bug every time, without fail. It seemed to happen with a particular planet design. I would be short 1 or 2 cities to win the civilization stage and advance to the space stage. I'd say my favorite stage is the creature stage, I also love to spend hours running around exploring every area three is to explore and find every part there is to find.

Sorry about that, I've been sick with the flu for a few days, and the computer I'd d/l'ed all that stuff to is broken and in the shop right now. I've got it on my old computer now and have looked at the stuff in it. I've also been working on the finishing touches to getting the Lynchegate demo out as well.

I could definitely see those tracks being useful in custom dungeons for any of our DM clone engines.Thanks for posting that. Maybe you should also post that link in it's own topic in th Creative Endeavors forum.

[Chaos-Shaman]

that's wonderful stuff beowuuf... that is the kind of sounds i was thinking on making. i already did an example of the cave echo with my sound card and my own voice. the example was in EoC, but it came from an attack the Gorn had, if he saw you from a distance, he'd execute a ranged attack that attivated the ambient sound. i thought it was a clever way to get that random sound when the Gorn was near. did you check EoC out beowuuf?
