Forum Games / Re: Family Feud ROUND 14 RESULTS
« on: December 16, 2012, 06:29:11 PM »
there were only 3 wise men not 4. geoo spotted this first and gets the 0.5 point. Almost everyone else did spot it, apparently knowing their bible; Jesus gives you a +1.
Actually, the bible never says how many wise men there were. The number three became attached to the legend because there were three gifts.

that would've made a MUCH BETTER easter egg.  Proxima gets +10.

CRAP----- What i did was... I was making a chart listing all the points earned and wrote "1" for winning instead of 1.5.  :XD: :XD: :XD:

@Steve: your score should be 1, not 0. sorry

[I seem to be good at making questions that have little to-no impact on the score what-so-ever  ???  :D ]

And I agree that the eater egg was too easy, but I was afraid of making a tough one that no-one might get. Plus, since I'm not religious at all, the idea that the "3 wismen story" is extremely well known didn't occur to me. I love old comedy routines but don't love the bible what can I say...  :XD: :P

(I didn't use the spreadsheet except for the top section, too lazy) yeah I know that's really lazy ;P )

probably nobody noticed or cared but that question was based off the whole "Let's play money making game!" from the first Zelda game.

should I mention the password on the chat or.....

Tech & Research / Re: Lemmix new database

I haven't thought of using the giant net and then use erasers. There's 397 terrains and adding more will stop it from saving. Terrain number 3 and 6 were used a lot, just so I won't place nets in areas where their not suppose to be, like the missing pieces in the picture. This is another one of those 36 PSP levels by the way and this one is the most confusing.

here ya go: see my attached picture.
All I did was spawn (thinking garry's mod) insert a big mesh piece. Then use a couple of single small straight 'wires'. Check 'erase' and put them so they cover up just one direction of lines. They'll cover up too much, so put in another one (not erased) [facing other direction] over that.  :)

u may still end up using quite a bit of pieces but I don't think nearly as many

I can't make "Back of the net" in Lemmix. I found out it has a terrain limit. :( Can this terrain limit be increased by updating this editor? This level has a lot of nets and some of them have pieces missing, so I couldn't just spam the big net, which is number 14, so I had to use a lot of those small ones.



are you sure it's because of a terrain limit? How many terrain pieces are in your level?

Realize, you could also use the big net and just use an eraser piece to cover up that spot you need. ;) that's what I'd do.

The reason I'm asking is because I remember seeing a level by someone that has a RIDICULOUS amount of terrain. (it was also a crystal level) with spiderwebs stacked on top of each other so much that there's no space in between them. (well.. it's kind of hard to describe but I'm pretty sure they had hundreds of pieces.

The name reminds me of the 'Deadly Danger Dungeon' by Rolf AVGN.

Non-Lemmings Gaming / Re: Legend of Zelda
« on: December 09, 2012, 07:50:32 PM »
I have played the first one. Unfortunatly I saw hints and walkthroughs before playing, but it was still enjoyable. I didn't know that things get re-arranged in the second quest, that's interesting.

Adventure of Link is just asinine (the American version anyway. I heard the Japanese version is easier). My only complaint about the first two is that they have some of the standard problems games of that time did. And because of that can be unfair at times and way too difficult or just annoying for me.

I got the Minish cap and played a little but didn't get very far. I didn't care for that one too much, don't really know why.
I have all of those except Four swords + I have Twilight Princess. I didn't get very far in that game yet.

Help & Guides / Re: Confused newbie question
« on: December 09, 2012, 07:46:06 PM »
Don't be at all ashamed that you're confused. There's very few people interested in Lemmings--that's why there is not a lot of help and discussion on the subject.
sadly, the current state of Lemmings is pretty bleak. But they're are plenty of ways to play Lemmings, none of them are amazing but at least they exist.

I don't know anything about Lemmings32  ??? never heard of it.

For help running Lemmix, first read this: http://www.lemmingsforums.com/index.php?topic=414.msg9334;topicseen#msg9334 and follow the instructions.

This will allow you to edit the game as well as play the original levels and user created levels.

I also recommend reading Eric Lang's page (the black colored website where you can download Lemmix) thoroughly. There's a lot of information you need to know.
and one Extremely Important thing: when using the editor; don't re-size the bottom panels. There's a glitch that makes it so you can no longer use hot keys then.

there's also Lemmini: http://lemmini.de/
you need Windows Lemmings to play this however, a CD game. but you can get the files necessary somewhere else I think. Windows Lemmings will actually work on most Operating Systems. (I have W7 and it works)

Look around this website; there's a bunch of programs and things at least mentioned. And Don't be afraid to post here if you need help. I would've found this community years ago but gave up on these programs at the time because they were too confusing and I couldn't find help on them.

Non-Lemmings Gaming / Legend of Zelda
« on: December 09, 2012, 12:58:25 AM »
I've been playing Legend of Zela Oracle of Season/Ages. I played Seasons first and now I'm playing Ages secret game. I really enojyed both, even more than Link's Awakening which is one of my favorites. (Link's Awakening actually inspired me to write a story (it has nothing to do with Zelda)). I like the whole secrets concept.

This is part 2 of a 3 part video series about a Rube-Goldberg Machine. My personal favorite and truly amazing.
Anyway I posted part 2 because I'd like if someone could possibly explain what you think is happening around 8:00-9:00. I asked a lot of people now and nobody yet has a good answer.

I noticed everyone here seems to have lost interest in video games latley. :(
You could do what I do and procrastinate everything or do things slowly to the point where it takes months to read a book or video game then you don't get them all done too fast.  ;P (you probably shouldn't do that)


I'm currently reading the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's pretty epic. It can get a little slow in areas but then speeds up again, and it's strange.

If you like comedy I recommend stuff by David Sedaris--very funny. I'm reading 'When you are Engulfed in Flames' and I'd like to get 'Chipmunk seeks Squirrel'
Some other I've seen recommended on other forums:
How Not to Make the Same Mistake Once by Barry Farber
Uh-Oh and It Was on Fire When I Lay Down On It by Robert Fulghum

If your into strange and crazy there's chuck Palanuik. He's the author of Fight Club (of which the movie was based on). His stuff is pretty different but can be gross.

I've also recently read the 'Myst' books. Written by the same people that made the video game. I wasn't expecting much but the first one so far turned out to be very good. There's three in total.

If you like sci-fi or fantasy; anything by Stephen King. (If you don't like fantasy there's 'Different Season' his one of few non-fantasy books that contains 'The shawshank Redemption'. Excellent book.
Also Michael Chrichton. Two of my favorite books of all time; 'Andromeda Strain' and 'Sphere'.

There's a ton but I'll just make a short list of great one's I've read.
1984 - George Orwell
2001 A Space Oddysy - Arthur C. Clark
White Fang - Jack London
Hatchet, The Transal Saga by Gary Paulsen
Physics of the Impossible - Michio Kaku

It looks nice! The graphics are well done. I’m curious what the 7 skills are.

I don’t have an iphone. (I’m waiting for the virtual reality implants to come out. ;P )
But if it’s available to test on the web I’d be interested to try.

why are the first three levels all the same?

I also like the builders building into eachother. There's few other levels (that I've played) that utilize that.
Could you please identify some levels using that trick? :) To clarify, I meant that kind of bridge which lemmings can travel both directions (and are supposed to), not for example, that builder from right knocks his head to the bridge from left, and then lemmings can walk only to the right.
Offhand I can't think of levels using the exact trick. I'm thinking Pieuw maybe had some? I thought I saw videos of at least one. [...maybe it was Gronklings :XD: ]

Tseug's "Stuff in the Way" has two lemmings build toward each other but the one must be underneath to turn around.

Gronklems #5 - Level 7 – Where Clouds are Made

Lemmings: 10
Save: 8
Release rate: 88
Time: 1 minutes
Skills: 8 climbers, 1 floater, 1 bomber, 1 blocker, 2 builders, 1 basher, 1 digger

Good: A very tough level that looks tough. I like stalling the lemmings with climbers like that. (any multi-task type of situation like that I usually like a lot) Of course the decoration and the clouds are really awesome! I also like how you made the big areas of brick more interesting by using variety of small blocks.

Bad: Nothing major. I think my solution may be a back route so I attached a video replay of it (avi file, sorry if it's big). If it is, it was still tough to find.

------------
I think Restoration in Progress is very tough (I haven’t beaten it yet).
And I don’t think it looks messy at all.

Well, I would have said something about Gronkling's special entrance from where lemmings "fall facing left" (he has used that trick also in two other levels) and then this lovely "builders encountering each other" trick,

:o I didn't even realize that. Okay, how did you do that Gronkling?

I also like the builders building into eachother. There's few other levels (that I've played) that utilize that.
