I have a collection of 1,000 Hello Kitty Handbags in my home.
I'll bet you do. I'll bet you have hundreds of Winnie the Pooh dolls too.
..Granted, each one has the desiccated head of a dead man in it, but that's sort of not the point, now, is it? Hmm? Hmm? Or do you want YOUR head in a Hello Kitty handbag?
Listen, in my mind's eye you run around wearing the sort of ostentatious military outfit George S. Patton would have designed had he ever put something together with the female form in mind. It's quite striking, really. Lord knows how you shop for groceries like that. :mrgreen:
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now!

Cool. What language is this written in, out of curiosity? Doesn't look like a standard C++ thing, and, well, that installer means it ain't .NET stuff.

.lmu files? Can't recognize that either.

As to the game itself..... well, at least now I know why such vicious flamewars were fought over FF's random encounter system....

And the injokes rock. Looks VERY cool, overall.

BTW, is there an actual "wait" function in the game or do I just have to go do something else while waiting for Steve to get his lazy ass out of the Admin tower?

ASVB, or Alt.Startrek.vs.B5.

Pronounce them to get acronyms, and it'll make more sense. RAST is from the first Final Flamewar; I think it's 'Rec.Art.Star.Trek' or similar.

That was cruel when you had it "game over" the game just cause I didn't do this certain thing first. :evil: :lol:
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Nitram: RAST is rec.arts.startrek.tech. I think that's where some of the Pro-ST guys used to hang, like Ryan McReynolds and Tyralak.

After talking about getting a ship with Wong, you had to sleep. If you didn't sleep and instead get out of the bed, it'll make it "game over."

More than that. I can't find coding for it in the game.

Maybe some kind of error protection? The code seems a little unusual.

Ok, I just went through it again and when I moved around in the inn, it didn't give me a game over like the first time. I even tried doing it without the trashcan, whatever that's used for...

Something weird must've definitely happened to my game.

If you haven't used the trashcan by now, then don't even worry about ever using it again ;)

So yeah, probably just a one-time bug.

The trashcan can only be used on one foe. And if you must know who, you're not an ASVSer. :P

But how do I get to Baron's sheep farm?

Oh and if there's going to be a third instalment I would like to be in it. :) An enigmatic ASVSer. :)

edit: by Graeme, I of course mean Steve. I think. Shit.

edit again: nevermind, you slack bastards just turned up late for the fight.
Thats what I wanna know, I've been to every village it'll let me.(Before it goes "ZOMG!111 you need to go south, north, east,west!!11" Phong says you need to get misty to join your party...but all she does is babble about LC. You go to see Steve and he isn't there, fine..I can live with that... I go to see the loremaster and he gabs on aboot how he sees an inner light(I am sure that has something to do with misty later on.).
So how do you get misty to join the party? I've been everywhere on the map, the ruins, the bar, fought like upto lvl 20 against little imps and guardsmen, and I am just tired of trying on my own. How do you get misty into the party?

Let's see if I remember this correctly....

Spoilerized for your gaming protection!
1)Go talk to Phogn (I think it is) right outside the Esbeeh's Admin building. you and him will talk awhile, now goto the far right Esbeeh pub . Behind you is some new dork blocking the door, you and O'Farrel must fight this dork, and once you go far enough into the fight, Steve and Alyeska (those slackers) come in and you spank the ass. Follow the instructions which come after, and you now have Misty in your party, and a righteous Tifa-clone she is.

How am I supposed to beat those two trolls with Schala alone? It's impossible.

Impossible I say!
