OBLIC'S PROFILE

Looks pretty good so far. I only have one small criticism: from the time you press start to the point where you can see inside the bar takes a little over 40 seconds. That's... a bit long if you ask me, especially in complete silence. Other than that, I like it!

Ummm... I know this game moved away and all, but there doesn't seem to be any activity on its current page either. So... anything new going on?

Hoo boy... I came here to pontificate about some senseless nonsense (don't worry, I'm sure I'll have another drink and get right on that anyway), and I saw this thread. Everyone I have ever played an online game with that I also knew personally has asked what my name meant. I never really had a good answer for them, mostly because I didn't feel/want to explain it. Anyway, here goes...

Back when AOL mailed people 10 free-trial disks a day, my dad finally caved and figured he'd give it a try. Since everyone had to create a username to get on the internet, I was given the opportunity to try and express myself a bit. I wanted it to be unique and not something that every other person would use (Superawesomeguy69 or the like... no offense to anyone out there). The only word I could think of that sounded cool or remotely interesting was oobleck (cool stuff). Obviously, I couldn't spell worth a shit, so I did my best (never got an A in any spelling class).

I also added a "008", but I dropped it a while back. That came from a quote from "The Goonies" when someone called Data "double-0-negatve". But, since most things don't allow -'s in names, I went for something "just a bit off from what people would expect". I still use it if need be, but "Oblic" is usually pretty available.

Anyway, it stuck with me since then.

TL;DR I liked goopy things as a kid and can't spell to save my life.

I hate getting stuck in these games...



Any suggestions would be nice.

EDIT: Dammit... nevermind, got it.

Looks almost EarthBound-esque. I really like the buildings and the boats!
