Quest for Infamy / Re: Status of QFI physical rewards
« on: October 03, 2022, 01:13:54 AM »
Another it's been a while, so.. Checking in to see if there's update?

If it makes you feel any better, I still don't have the physical goods for Mage's Initiation either.

Klytus is the evil Emperor Ming's ... I donno maybe chief badguy underling ... from Flash Gordon, the brilliant and yet also rather rubbish early 80's movie starring Sam Jones. I've used this since the late 90's, although originally I spelt it Klitos but that name was banned from some forums due to admins thinking it was a play on Clitoris. So I changed it and it actually brought it closer to the correct spelling from the movie.

Quote
The Emperor Ming: Klytus, I'm bored. What play thing can you offer me today?

Klytus: An obscure body in the S-K System, Your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet Earth.

The Emperor Ming: How peaceful it looks.

Klytus: Most effective, Your Majesty. Will you destroy this ... Earth?

The Emperor Ming: Later. I like to play with thing a while before annihilation.

FLASH!  AAAAH-AAAAH!  He'll save every one of us! (or something like that- but now it's stuck in my head, thanks for that!)

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Re: DOSBox Help - For beginners
« on: June 12, 2013, 12:08:30 AM »
I also add a few other pieces to make my life easier, because I'm lazy:

I set up my directory structure as:
C:\Games
 ->C:\Games\DOSBOX
 --->C:\Games\DOSBOX\CONFIG
 ->C:\Games\CDROM
 ->C:\Games\%GAMEDIRs%

I copy each CD into C:\Games\CDROM, under its own directory ( .\Regret, or .\Remorse, or whatever)

I mount C:\Games as the C:\ within DOSBox.
Each games has its own .config file and associated shortcut (shortcut looks like C:\Games\DOSBox\dosbox.exe -conf "C:\Games\DOSBox\CONFIG\moebius.conf")

then at the bottom of the config file I mount the directories and CDROM if required (in addition to any other settings I had to tweak to make the game run the way I want):
Code: [Select]
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c c:\games
mount d c:\games\CDROM\regret
c:
cd crusader
cd regret
regret

This way, C:\Games is completely self-contained and portable (except that it's gotten pretty big.  All the CDROM assets are right where they need to be (and as mentioned before, this is where things get installed from).  Each game has its own shortcut that I can double-click and have it automagically start.  The shortcuts are also all portable from machine to machine.

Quest for Infamy / Re: Getting rid of Rayford- speculations?

4. ??? Rayford is framed and sent to prison, where he is raped to death by an ogre.

Would the raping to death be happening before or after the ogre eats Rayford's flesh and sews his skins into his clothing?

You sick bastard!  What kind of a game do you think this is?!  You've got a dirty mind!  Clearly, it would happen beforehand!

If he's very, very lucky, it will be done in that order.

Quest for Infamy / Re: SPOILER - A Small Map of The Game

Play-though #1: Play and just enjoy the game
Play-through #2: 'sketch' the layout (I used to use Excel too, but switched to Visio several years ago when I had to learn it for my work)
Play-though #3+: Screen-shots, at least two per screen so I can 'paint out' the avatar and any other 'undesirables' that I don't want in the finished product

A fellow mapper!  I am slowly digitizing all mine, replacing hand-drawn with screen-shot versions as much as possible- sometimes also pixel-by-pixel..

and taking a break from mapping.

but which is more fun?

That depends on the Rose in question.  And whether she's had too much to drink.

well at least nobody can accuse us of holding the map upside down if its almost completely unreadable

I'll take that challenge!

thats ok, I'll just glue your feet to the ceiling then the map will be right side up again.

Wouldn't it be easier to just rotate the rose?

Here lies John,
Who liked his ladies, liked his fun.
Until he finally met the one,
Who's husband he couldn't outrun.
