Re: [Audyssey] mvc 3 arcade mode playthrough
I agree whole-heartedly. But so far, it's way too early to tell... however, it's looking promising, and if it turns out to be worth my preorder, I am going to be playing for a long time to come. A lot of people think MK Deception was a good game... personally I didn't like it. I went back to playing it a few times after having played SF and tekken for so long... and couldn't pull off a single combo. Not that I didn't remember the combinations... I just couldn't press the buttons slow enough. Even the link combos in SF are pretty fast and require strict timing. Seemed MK deception required you to be as unfluid with your presses as possible. And puzzle kombat? The most obvious ripoff of Super Puzzle Fighter 2 turbo, for anyone who knows what that game is. As one of my friends said, capcom should sew them. lol. And I personally, I'm not inclined to disagree. But let's see what MK 9 brings to the table... and I agree again. I'd rather be a bad MK player than someone who can completely dominate because of the mess the controls and fighting system in general has become. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] mvc 3 arcade mode playthrough
Hmmm, agreed about MK's gameplay not being as deep nowadays. It's gradually been happening since MK4 onward, I find each title to be that little bit more watered down. It might only be me clinging to the characters I know, but I keep finding myself saying little prayers that MK9 can combine the insanely good sound design of the last few titles with a sharp increase in the depth of control available for each character. I want to be able to feel like there's more work to do to master a character than just learning specials and fatalities. I want to be a totally horrible MK player again because I'm so out of practice, rather than being able to plough my way through with a moves list and some half-hearted button mashing. From everything I've seen online so far, MK9 is holding its own sound-wise, so now we've just got to hope they haven't been lazy about the actual number crunching and mechanics of reverting to 2d movement. If 2d movement turns out to be just a gimick, the series is going to feel s tired IMO. On 2/23/11, Clement Chou wrote: > Ah yes.

[Audyssey] BPCPrograms Forum
Hello Everyone, Over the past couple of weeks the BPC mailing list has been down because of a server switch. This message is to inform you that now instead of a mailing list, there is a forum available at http://www.bpcprograms.com/forum/. This will be considered as the community-drivven resource that BPC provides--instead of the mailing list. You will have to become a member on your own in this forum, there will be NO mass subscription based on the members of the previously existing mailing list. Also, registrations for both Three-D Velocity and Treasure Hunt have been enabled again; they were disabled for a short time to prevent any potential data loss while the switch was in progress and tests were being run on the new server. Reply to this message if you have any questions (I will be leaving my mail options as enabled for about a week--I typically keep them disabled on this list because of high traffic,) or use the contact means provided on the website http://www.bpcprograms.com Munawar A.

I often make typos, come back and proofread what I wrote and kick myself for making such a mistake. For example, the other day I wrote faucet like fosset, and later when I saw my own e-mail I realised I sent it out spelled wrong. I knew faucet is spelled f a u c e t, but for some reason when typing in a hurry I forgot and spelled it f o s s e t. I looked at that and whent what the heck? Actually, part of the problem isn't that I can't spell it is I just don't slow down long to think of the correct spelling. When typing at 50 or 60 words a minute it is easy to forget how something is spelled and just type something that sounds right at the time. Its only when spell checking it word by word I realise I unconsciously typed something else. Cheers!

[My Reply:] Hi, Not sure where to get it, but if it's back in 1982, it's likely on cassette or cartridge. Don't quote me, but I don't think the 1541, very slow, 5.25 inch floppy drive came out until 84. Linux has a C64 emulator it would probably play on as well as a buttload of other emulators from the Apple II to the Playstation. I haven't tried any of them, as I don't have any software, but it might be as simple as having the appropriate disk drive hooked up to your computer.

Hope you have a good time! Let us know how it goes... and don't be afraid to lose. When you haven't played a fighter very many times, it's very normal to have trouble.

I often make typos, come back and proofread what I wrote and kick myself for making such a mistake. For example, the other day I wrote faucet like fosset, and later when I saw my own e-mail I realised I sent it out spelled wrong. I knew faucet is spelled f a u c e t, but for some reason when typing in a hurry I forgot and spelled it f o s s e t. I looked at that and whent what the heck? Actually, part of the problem isn't that I can't spell it is I just don't slow down long to think of the correct spelling. When typing at 50 or 60 words a minute it is easy to forget how something is spelled and just type something that sounds right at the time.

The z code format was indeed originaly developed by infocom to run their games like zork and hichhikers' guide, actually made to run games on multiple platforms with a virual z machine, but infocom have been out of business now for around 20 years, and the z code format is pretty much public domain. the vast majority, hundreds in all, of z code games have nothing to do with infocom at all anymore, though it is stil possible to run games like zork quite well on any modern machine that can read zcode games. Thus, when myself and others mentioned not hereing of an infocom version of the hobbit, we meant a version of the hobbit published by the original infocom company back in the 80's, rather than just a hobbit game run in zcode. Whether the game you have is a zcode port of the original, or another game based on the hobbit written by someone else in zcode, I'm not sure. Hope this clears the confusion up slightly.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
Hi Jacob, I think your DOS version is incomplete. If I'm remember correctly there's supposed to be a hobbit.dat file also. hobbit.com is just the loader for the game. It's a very tiny file which purpose it is to laod the rest of the program.

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
Hi Jacob. Actually, I've checked and that hobbit game was written in 2005. The author does make it clear he's not recopying the original but trying his own work. It actually sounds interesting, though unfortunately I haven't got too far yet. Beware the greu!

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games
Hi, Don't talk about my old primary school teacher. Oh gosh, I never ever concentrated in her lessons. Then I moved to secondary, and our french teacher is much more better there. I found her lessons even better. My teacher is planning to move me into a higher class, but I need to be well at my other subjects. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 8:17 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games Hi Dark, Best guess is because of the origens of the language. English started out as a Germanic language when England was concored by germanic tribes, and over the centuries English speaking people adopted or borrowed from several other languages. We get words like mirage, ambience, bureau, plateau, shateau, and crayon from French. We get most of our scientific terms like psychology, biology, chemestry, and so on from Greek. Here in the U.S. there are lots of places and things named after Native American people, places, and things. The end result of all this mixing of languages is that even when we set rules for phonix and spelling they don't apply to every word in the English language as a hole. For example, in high school I took French. The phonix rules are very very specific. Most of the time if you hear the o sound at the end of a word like plateau, shateau, bureau, etc you should automatically think e a u. If you hear an a sound at the end of a name/word it often times is an accented ay followed by a e like in Renee. If I hear, voo, I know it is spelled v o u s because the o u s sound makes that oo sound. I found the language quite enjoyable because the spelling was pretty much the way it sounded based on the phonix rules for the language. I actually got higher grades in French class than I did in English class. Now, I only half remember the language. Lol! On 2/22/11, dark wrote: yep, english is a silly language.

It is f a u c e t. There isn't even an r in the word so I'm not sure where you are getting the for sound when it is foss not for. Is this an accent thing that confuses you? The reason I ask is because down south, where a lot of my relatives live, every one says stuff like I'm going to warsh the dishes, warsh my clothes, etc and I constantly ask them where they are geting the r from. It is spelled w a s h which is wash. Yet they will sware up and down it is not spoken like wash but warsh making them sound uneducated. The funny thing is some of them are college educated, know better, and continue to use the slang. So I was just wondering if this is a local thing where you guys say forset instead of faucet, or an unintentional misspelling error. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games
Hi, Well my spelling sucks as well. At school, or at homework, I always use a spell checker. My teachers say don't use a spell checker, but I have to say I disagree. The only way you'll learn most words. Yes, reading is the key, but how are you going to correct your spelling without you knowing? You do not just correct it like that, you learn the spelling. Anyways, Hayden says my spelling is improving, isn't it? - Original Message - From: "Darren Duff" To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 11:26 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games Yeah...

For example, the other day I wrote faucet like fosset, and later when I saw my own e-mail I realised I sent it out spelled wrong. I knew faucet is spelled f a u c e t, but for some reason when typing in a hurry I forgot and spelled it f o s s e t. I looked at that and whent what the heck? Actually, part of the problem isn't that I can't spell it is I just don't slow down long to think of the correct spelling. When typing at 50 or 60 words a minute it is easy to forget how something is spelled and just type something that sounds right at the time. Its only when spell checking it word by word I realise I unconsciously typed something else. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Old 1982 text adventure of The Hobbit for DOS
As I recall it, the Hobbit from 1982 was written by Melbourn. The zcode adaptation is a completely different game than the original 1982 version, it would seem. There was a DOS version of the 1982 Melbourn. It's probably available from some abandonware site. I have it somewhere on a burnt CD. I could try and find it.

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games
You missed latin, ancient norman, cornish, welsh, galic and probably a hole load of others ;d. english is sort of the biggest linguistic thief in the world! I never could get french, because I started off doing spanish in school and spanish has to be the easiest language spelling wise ever! Every letter in every word is spoken aloud accept for the letter h at the beginning of some words for instance habitacion, ie room, who's phonically correct sound would be something like hab bit tath thee on, with the spanish th sound on the c and a long oo at the end. After that French was a nightmare. interestingly enough, I'm now looking at learning at least enough Italian so that I can sing in the language convincingly, especially considdering that my singing teacher sets me to do some pretty intensive Italian voice exercises, and once again, it seems to be as ponetic as Spanish (though i admit I haven't looked at that much yet).

Re: [Audyssey] Creating Adventure Games
Hi Dark, Best guess is because of the origens of the language. English started out as a Germanic language when England was concored by germanic tribes, and over the centuries English speaking people adopted or borrowed from several other languages. We get words like mirage, ambience, bureau, plateau, shateau, and crayon from French. We get most of our scientific terms like psychology, biology, chemestry, and so on from Greek. Here in the U.S. there are lots of places and things named after Native American people, places, and things. The end result of all this mixing of languages is that even when we set rules for phonix and spelling they don't apply to every word in the English language as a hole. For example, in high school I took French. The phonix rules are very very specific. Most of the time if you hear the o sound at the end of a word like plateau, shateau, bureau, etc you should automatically think e a u. If you hear an a sound at the end of a name/word it often times is an accented ay followed by a e like in Renee. If I hear, voo, I know it is spelled v o u s because the o u s sound makes that oo sound. I found the language quite enjoyable because the spelling was pretty much the way it sounded based on the phonix rules for the language. I actually got higher grades in French class than I did in English class. Now, I only half remember the language. Lol!
