ADDIT'S PROFILE

Wait a minute. Are you telling me that this thread was the catalyst for this event? Ha! I knew that there was something afoot about that, and now I know.

I’m going to be curious: Whoever gets my word or image for their chosen theme, I’M definitely going to be paying extra attention to see what you do with it. Oh lordy lord.

(Although, to be fair, the odds of getting mine are like 300 - 1 based on all the other replies in that thread, so none of you guys will probably get it. But – who knows??? Maybe the odds might tip in your favor - and by favor, I mean mine.)

I want to make it possible to do a pacifist (or boss-only) game play, so I'm making a sort of bribe system that happens at the beginning of the battles.

Like, if a creature lives in the desert, you can give it water. Or many monsters you can give meat.

There are wrinkles, like some items require multiple quantities, and some items won't be accepted or will cause a reaction (don't give vials of blood to vampires, as it'll make them crazy and attack).

I actually kinda like this idea! So instead of trying to fight enemies normally you can basically try and offer enemies up a gift so they’ll either potentially leave you alone or be even twice as hard to fight than before, making for a real challenge if the player wants it. Neat!

Lol, I love the expression on Chalmers face when you’re faced with the dreaded YES or NO options after the whole Aurora Borealis bit that he just looks so…dejected based on Skinner’s answer like he crushed his spirit by telling Chalmers the truth… Too bad it didn’t play this scene (at @ 0:12 below) right before he ultimately rides off into the sunset. I think that would have been a more fitting choice instead of what was used.



But I must say! Out of all the Steamed Hams parodies that I’ve seen, this one definitely ranks up there among the top (IMO) just behind the DK Rap one and the Metal Gear Solid one…especially when it comes to RPGMaker, as I think this one FAR surpasses all the others that were made before it. It really is quite amazing how smooth the animation flows while running the game in real time. And it’s even more amazing if you’ve used RPGMaker 2003 for so long yourself and you see this and you're like, “…How the hell did he do that???” And then you wanna figure out how to do it yourself after that. Well done!

And…yeah, if I had to review this myself, I probably would have given you the same exact score as Frogge did in his review and probably give you a non-rating as well. Because, as a game, there really isn’t that much here that deviates from the meme itself (besides two different endings) that it can be even counted as an actual game. It’s definitely an impressive technical display of what you can do with the techniques listed above, though, so it's got that going for it.

Make me wonder if you're planning on doing something similar again for next year - and what exactly that could be? You've already done Dogs and Hams... What else are you planning???

Demanding next month's game of the month to be this game. Or else I'll sue.

N…Nah…I’d dunno if I would go down that route myself…maybe as a possible Gamespot for May - or, maybe you could possibly save this for next year’s April Fool’s Day before announcing the actual Featured Game and do something like that! That could totally work!

Yeah, it's basically Kory vs. Shinan now.

Yeah, pretty much…especially if one of them happens to get the full value out of that Columbus and Boston series then there’s probably no stopping either of them in the end for the rest of us without a little help... Although it’s still mathematically possible for everyone to still win the pool, the rest of us are going to have SERIOUSLY step up our predictions in the later rounds in order to have a fighting chance, including yours truly, lol.

And, yeah - holy shit - good job Narcodis and Kory for picking the Hurricanes to win - especially Narcodis who was right about the whole Hurricanes upsetting the Capitals in seven. And, because of that, he rockets up into second place in the standings! Nicely done.

So the next deadline to get everyone’s second round picks in is by Monday, April 29th @ 4 P.M. PST. just an hour before the start of Game 3 of the Stars and Blues series. I’ll add everyone’s second round picks that they’ve already made (including making my own for Round 2) sometime by tomorrow, as I’m too tired to do it right now and have to get ready for bed for work tomorrow! But, yeah, good luck in the second round you guys! May the best choke artist prevail.

"Maple Leafs fans put Game 7 blame on Justin Bieber" this is a real headline

I’m surprised that they didn’t blame the ghost of Harold Ballard for this latest blunder.

Lol, F**king Toronto. What a disgrace... You supposedly have this star-studded team that you’ve been clamoring around about for the past couple of months that they’re going to “win the cup no problem” and they end up doing what they’ve always done: choke in game 7 against the Bruins again. Jesus, what a clown show…

And I can’t believe that the Golden Knights gave up not only a 3-1 series lead but also a 3-0 lead with about six minutes or so left in the third period only to just p*ss it away. Unbelievable. I thought the Sharks were usually the ones that choke.

And, yeah, pretty much everyone came out of these two series as winners and got points. The only one who didn’t get full value was Kory with the Bruins winning, as everyone else picked up points in that except for him. He’s still in the lead with 17 points now and a 5 point gap with one series in the first round left to go, though.

As for the bigger riser today? F**king Shinan outta all people! He ended up going from having one messily point to now 11 points total for 3rd place overall as he got 2 points for the Sharks winning and 8 points for the Bruins winning in seven, and the Bruins are his Stanley Cup Winning Team!

Now “I’m” suddenly in last place after tonight! WTF!

@ Cap_H - Still have to wait to find out the winner of the Capitals / Hurricanes series before the second round predictions can begin, but I’m sorta leaning towards the Blues, Sharks, Blue Jackets, and probably the Capitals if they happen to make it to the next round, even though the Oshie injury scares me a bit. If it’s the Hurricanes that make it, I’ll probably pick the Islanders in that one.
