Lord Crump older than one year ago

Changes: multiple new rooms, two new bosses, a new partner, an actual chance to test out your FIRST partner's abilities, and THE PLOT THICKENS.

This is made with a different version of Game Maker, so if it still doesn't work for you, Nassy, or you, Dim, then all I can say is that I'm stumped. You'll eventually be able to play this GLORIOUS shoot-em' up game thingy, though, don't worry.

Here's the second version of Franis 2. The big changes are healing items, a new room, a new party member (Most of this version's changes were dedicated to the party member logic, which I couldn't get to work for some stupid reason, until now, that is), and you can save and load games (Saving after each fight is a pretty good idea).

If you're one of the few people who could not get the first version to work, try downloading this one and see if it runs. I'm still unsure of what the problem is; if you get an error, screencap it for me.

So I assumed Plastic Mario wouldn't mind/care if I took that old franis Game Maker game he made a long time ago and turned it into a sequel of sorts (Of course, if for some strange reason he DOES mind, I'll stop immediately). Like the original, members of digibutter will make appearances in the game (With starring roles for loafSKZ, Nastasia, and franis, obviously).

Here is the first demo. It only has one "level" so far, but who gives a shit. It's a demo. :3

Controls: arrow and s keys. And yeah, this is related to the "Digibutter: The Game" project.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

FRANCIS SAID, "LET THERE BE NERRS." And he saw the nerrs, and saw that it was good.

He commanded them to make the "ultimate totally hi-technical community Game Maker game ever."

And so we SHALL. Here is my contribution. PROVIDE YOURS AND IT WILL BE A GAME FOR THE AGES

(Also we need to contact Plastic Mario and see if he still has his franis game)

I AM VERY EXCITED

...is that it is too hard to navigate. BUT I PROPOSE A SOLUTION!

We can keep the format largely the same in terms of content delivery, but tweak it a bit. By that I mean making topics more noticeable and the general site more easy to navigate.

My proposition, Francis, is well within your coding capabilities, I would think, and it would not be too difficult to construct. Nor do I think it would eat up too many resources. Essentially, what should happen is that the site should be more graphically focused. Here's what I mean by that.

Imagine that the site was wiped clean. There are no topics, no members... nothing. The site would be represented as a blank field (Which you can choose different skins for the "floor"). Now, let's say someone joins. Say, Nastasia joins the site for the first time. A member profile will be made for her, and she'll have her own message board; pretty much like the current site. There will be a little flag going up on the right hand side of the screen notifying that there are new users; when you click the little notification graphic, Nastasia's name shows up. However, here's the thing: a little graphic will appear on the field. It will probably look like a little smiley face or something by default. Nastasia, however, could edit this; she could make it a little sprite representation of herself, for example. Or she could upload an image or something.

Anyway, when a user clicks on this little Nastasia graphic, her User Message Board pops up, in addition to little buttons that can allow you to navigate to different sections of her profile.

This will happen when every member joins; a default graphic will appear on the previously empty "field," that they will edit and make it their own graphics. When you click on the "Newest Users" thing on the right-hand side, the user list will pop up, and when you click on a name, you will be navigated to the User's graphic on the field.

The same thing will happen when a new message board is created; the creator of the board could edit the image and it will appear on the field. The thing is, though, is that users will be REQUIRED to choose one of five categories for the board when it is created: General, Off-Topic, Gaming, RP, or Groups.

Now that there's two kinds of graphics,  when you click on the "Message Boards" thing on the right hand side of the screen, all of the User graphics will go away and all the Message Board graphics will come to the front of the screen; likewise, clicking "Users" will make all the Message Board graphics go away and display all the User graphics. And clicking on an individual User or Message Board in the list will navigate to that graphic (Think of the Mii Channel on the Wii, and how you can organize/manage/search Miis).

As for the message boards, instead of having the "ignore" feature, people already in the message board could, like in an online game match, vote to "kick" a user out of that message board. In the end, this would make things more easily manageable.

so whaddya think

"I have been following the stories and comments surrounding Lord Crump, and frankly, I'm appalled. Why doesn't Crump try doing something constructive for once in his life? First off, there are some jejune freebooters who are cranky. There are also some who are deceitful. Which category does Crump fall into? If the question overwhelms you, I suggest you check "both". If you can go more than a minute without hearing him talk about adversarialism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial.

"If the human race is to survive on this planet, we will have to expose some of Crump's short-sighted deeds. Okay, that was a facetious statement. This one is not: Crump will do everything in his power to weave his disingenuous traits, disgusting perversions, and dictatorial bait-and-switch tactics into a rich tapestry that is sure to insult my intelligence. No wonder corruption is endemic to our society; Crump plans to embark on wholesale torture and slaughter of innocent civilians. He has instructed his mercenaries not to discuss this or even admit to his plan's existence. Obviously, Crump knows he has something to hide.

"Mass anxiety is the equivalent of steroids for Crump. If we feel helpless, Crump is energized and ramps up his efforts to substitute pap for art. Imagine people everywhere embracing his claim that he is omnipotent. The idea defies the imagination. His chums contend that he is God's representative on Earth. I say to them, "Prove it"—not that they'll be able to, of course, but because I find it amusing how all thinking people simultaneously flinched when they heard Crump insist that he can succeed without trying. I don't think anyone questions that. But did you know that it is widely known and beyond dispute that his speeches leave the impression of an army of pompous phrases moving over the landscape in search of an idea? Unfortunately, I can already see the response to this letter. Someone, possibly Lord Crump himself or one of his subordinates, will write a sinister piece about how prissy I am. If that's the case, then so be it. What I just wrote sorely needed to be written." --some guy

WAAAAAAAAA ; ;

It kinda disgusts me how divided this whole issue is. I do hold immense sympathy for the Palestinians, but some pro-Palestine individuals are in the extreme, thinking that it's a good idea to kick out all of the Jews living in the region, justifying it by saying, "WELL, IT'S THE PALESTINIANS' HOMELAND." No shit, but take a second to think about this. Most of the Jews that were alive when Palestine was transformed in to Israel are now dead, and the vast majority of the Jews currently living in Israel/Palestine were born and raised there. It's their homeland too, damnit. In other words, Israel shouldn't have existed in the first place, but now it does, and a solution to the conflict must accomodate that.

Saying that the Palestinians should have the land is just as incorrect as saying that the Israelis should have the land. The only correct hope is to hope that both can have the land, and prosper in it as brethren. With that said, the first step to solving the problem is to hope that the Israeli government will eventually stop treating the Palestinians as dogs and let them live and participate in the government as equal citizens. I don't support any solution that involves a radical deconstruction of the government of Israel, however; that will only create more problems than it will solve.

The Bitlands theme is nice and all, but some of us would like to see a bit more choice; you know, multiple skins. Francis, when (And if) you see this, note that this is related to that message I sent you about a new "style" for digibutter to correspond with upcoming major Nintendo videogames that are not only of interest to our community but to potential new members, as well.

For example, the default, non-registered member skin could be based on Paper Mario 3DS (To lure in any fans of the upcoming game), whereas when you register, you can get a choice between the default skin, the "classic" Bitlands theme, or some new ones; for example, you could create a Skyward Sword theme or a Super Mario Galaxy theme for us to use.

Also (And I already know you're going to shoot this one down), being able to create our own avatars is dandy and all, but we should also have the option of uploading an avatar image, like a more conventional social website. There's only so much we can do with the image creator; I know it fits in with the theme of the site and all, but as I suggested, it would be a very good idea for us to have more stylistic options, instead of just one.

...to be completely honest, it isn't that great. I mean, Kid Icarus: Uprising looks fun and all, and I'm looking forward to it, but it baffles me as to why it's being made in the first place when the original game isn't very fun. Kid Icarus NES just isn't very polished; the level design is terrible, the difficulty isn't so much challenging as it is frustrating, and the controls can be blech at times. With that said, I've only been through two stages; does it get any better? Because so far, it isn't as great as some people have made it out to be.

(I am aware that there is a second Kid Icarus title for the Gameboy).

Frome here on, this will be digibutter's new mascot.

Not that OoT's critical average matters taking factors such as the amount of reviews, how many reviewers were actually credible or are now defunct, etc., but the fandumb's reaction is bound to be entertaining

I could just copy/paste the text, but I'll link to the topic I made on another forum. K', discuss

Once upon a time, a Tanuki was heading down to the local marketplace to purchase some more sake when

Read the review at the link I just gave you. Go ahead, I'll wait.

I doubt I've ever read a more stupid critique in my life. I mean, what the hell? I could understand giving the film an incredibly low one star if he, you know, actually explained how the film was bad based on its artistic merits. That's what critics are supposed to do, right? Good critics, that is. Provide an objective-as-possible take on a movie, considering the quality of its acting, script, cinematography, and other important qualities.

Ebert didn't do this. Instead, he wrote a mindless  rant on how the movie is supposedly "immoral."

First off, newsflash, Mr. Ebert: it's a movie. If you can be offended by pure fantasy such as this, then you're an egotistical moron who's obsessed with upholding a moral code that has essentially become meaningless.

Secondly, there's a certain amount of hypocrisy at work here. Roger Ebert has actually worked on films in the past that could be considered "immoral" in the same way this film is. Also, why doesn't he complain about Tarantino? Tarantino directs all sorts of films with over-the-top violence treated in silly ways.

Is it because "oh, it's a cute little girl, she shouldn't be doing those things?" No. That's a stupid argument. Grown adults shouldn't be doing those things either. By using that argument you're essentially arguing, "well, it's not okay for little girls to kill people, but I have no problem with grown men killing other grown men! Da-derp-da-derpity-dumb."

Jesus Christ, this guy's going senile, I swear to God. He'll trash anything he deems too "immoral" for his pompous tastes and like shit like the Garfield movie just because it's "family friendly."

You are all to address "Frozen" as Fludgewidgeon

Or at least get a D in it.

Shit.

Now that I have your attention, do you agree or disagree, and why?
