Wow. That was really fast and well done. The only thing I can think of is whether it would be faster in the final boss battle to run between the saxophone players to collect notes from them both instead of just one. If not, I vote yes. (I voted yes because I'm sure you already thought of that and found it slower).

Blech, that sucks. That guy is obviously unfit to be an administrator. Blame it on not having any rules, since it enables the admin to do really whatever he wants.

I thought we were talking about Street Fighter II. Okay then, The Blob was also a favorite of mine. I especially liked the "eat your enemy whole" move.

In fighting games, I only ever choose the coolest-looking character of the bunch, then proceed to suck more than technically possible at the game. As for Street Fighter, either Ryu or Ken (the one that did not have yellow hair) was my favorite, mainly because it was the only one I knew how to and could throw a projectile with.

Too bad it won't hold a candle to CoD4 or Crysis though.
Oh, and there's nothing accurate about the 2 activations only.
2 at once, yes, and when it came out, but if you uninstalled it you got that activation back.
Plus, they changed it so you get 5 now. Still have to uninstall to get one of those 5 back, but there you go.
There are plenty of other reasons (instability, widescreen issues) not to buy it though.. I know I didn't.
The point is that you shouldn't need to "activate" the game at all. But okay, Half-Life 2 did that also, and I'm not terribly bummed about that because I actually found Steam easy to use and convenient. The problem comes when you have a limited number of activations. What kind of a genius thought about that in the first place? I mean seriously, I will bet everything that whoever who initially thought about this sceme has never played a game or used any piece of software in his life.
If everyone followed Bioshock's example, if you had a bunch of games and software, and you wanted to format your hard drive and re-install your OS or setup another one or whatever, you would first need to spend hours just uninstalling old games and other software just so you could activate them again in the future. It is retarded, it is stupid, it is completely crazy and insane. Don't support this. Don't buy the game. Fuck them.

The sad thing is that there's already a cracked version floating around that doesn't have any of that crap. So the pirates win and paying customers lose. It's like 2K Games made a great game, and then took a big dump on it, thus ruining it for everyone.
*sigh* It looks like a great game, too bad I will never get to play it.

Just change that thread and call it "Post your crappy crap here!!!1" and be done with it. Then post everything there that doesn't have anything to do with reality.

I was going to buy the game, but changed my mind when I found out what kind of retarded digital restrictions they put on it. You know, getting only 2 activations, and after you've used them up, you can't install it again, that kind of thing. I simply won't support something like that. I've heard it doesn't work on most graphics cards anyway, mine included (even though I can run Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and Quake 4 extremely well).

The way I see it, it's simple. The .fcm should complete the game as fast as possible. The point is not to make the shortest .fcm file, but to make the shortest game-completion. That's my take on it, and I would vote no on that movie until the ending was fixed.
Ending the input early should only be allowed if it does not result in the game completing slower.

I silled my drink because of this run. If this forum had a rofanity filter, I would let loose. Holy cra, this is ridiculous. By the way, the "p" key on my keyboard just went haywire. robably because I silled some drink on my keyboard. (I coy/asted the one instance I really needed that key, in case youre wondering).
So you can be glad that your run may have ruined at least 1 keyboard. :
(switched to a backup, so no damage done... except now I'll have to haunt the thrift store until some backup keyboards show up......)
Edit: By the way, I like the run, voted YES.

I too have thought the number of flashgame-related topics was reaching critical mass. Since the kill everyone project finished, I have no idea what to do anymore. Unless putting a ball into a hole is exciting for you.

I'm stuck on level 18 ("Keep it straight"), any ideas? It seems like the only way to "keep it straight" is to put a pod on the opposite side of the stuck one, but that's no good because the combined forces of the two pods will grab the bullet and make it come back... Oh well who cares, it is a silly game.

Wow, I didn't know the torches had these charges. I always thought it was simply time-based, ie after a certain time, a torch would just burn out. Extremely tense, especially when the game was so incredibly creepy and I couldn't really get very far in it. It's fun to see the game conquered like that, although I have seen it before. Some of those images can still give me the creeps. And that song is permanently embedded into my brain. Man, those were the days...
By the way, the ending (of the GAME) just sucks.
Oh, and the movie was of course very nicely done, really fast and smooth.

Yeah, if I had been Voldemort, I would have encased each horcrux in a large cement block, and dropped them into the ocean where it's the deepest. Spread them all over the globe, and maybe put some on the moon, Mars or other planets. Actually, maybe even launch one of them into space so that it would go outside the solar system and go on into infinity. Then it would be absolutely impossible to destroy them. Sorry, you just couldn't do it.

I've always felt that Harry Potter wasn't the brightest bloke on the block. But yeah, one could make the argument that "absolute power corrupts absolutely."
What was Voldemort's motive for turning evil. I don't seem to remember what it was. Did he just hate his father for abandoning, became a bully, and eventually decided to murder all non pure-bloods?
I don't know, but the Elder Want doesn't provide Absolute Power anyway. If Harry went and found the stone-thing (like any sensible person would), he would have become "master of death", which might have given him some additional power, but it is clearly stated in the book that the Elder Want alone doesn't grant any power beyond that in battle. That is, if he's unprepared, he's vulnerable, but otherwise unbeatable.
But I don't see any negative aspect of that because you would have that situation no matter what kind of wand you were using!!!! ASheeis. If you are attacked while you have no wand, you're toast. It does not make a difference whether your wand is the Elder Wand or not. Holy Shit. Harry Potter is so stupid. Harry Potter is a stupid git.

I was under the impression he did keep it, he just didn't plan on using it. Also if you think about it, it would be so much smarter for everyone to have more than one wand. Say they did expeliarmus you despite the string and all that, just pull out your spare.
No, apparently he returned the wand to Dumbledore's tomb, hoping he himself would die a natural death so no one else would become master of the Elder Wand. Like it would make ANY difference whether the wand was located in his hand or that tomb. Not. Stupid git. I mean, he could use the Elder Want to easily repair his old wand, a feat that was beyond even the wand expert Ollivander. Sheeis. How stupid would one need to be to turn down that kind of power for no reason whatsoever. Answer=VERY.
