DM-PianoHorror released

[navboy]

Yep yep Finally overcame the urge to quit tinkering, it's done and it's at:

http://home.swbell.net/navboy/DM-PianoHorror.htm

As soon as BaSe sticks it up on a Fragadelic page, i'll start passing the word around -- my personal page can't handle much traffic, but anyone reading in this forum is definitely encouraged to d/l it and check it out. It ended up being 2.3MB zipfile, not too bad for today's maps i guess. Thanks for the prerelease comments!

woo f*ckin hoo as they say ;)

It's great!

But where are the industrial-facility ramps and rusted iron walkways? :)

Well done for being original AND making it play well. I even turned off the bots and just played the piano for a bit...

[ULTBase]

Yep, its a dam fine map.
Well done dude :)

[navboy]

thanks fellas ...

I even turned off the bots and just played the piano for a bit...

heh, yeah, i kind of did the opposite when i was testing the bot paths i guess: Played in spectator mode with anywhere from 8 to 16 bots in there, floated out aways from the keys to get a good view where the weapons sounds weren't so loud but i could hear the keys against the music track pretty well, then sometimes just turned up the volume and went into another room to work on stuff. Amazing what those bots would come up with sometimes ... just like a 1000 mapping monkeys for 1000 years and Shakespeare or something like that?


But where are the industrial-facility ramps and rusted iron walkways?

Oh yes, the industrial-facility ramps and rusted iron walkways, yessss ...

They are actually in there, in the map, but you just can't see them normally because of recursive latent effects of gravitational degaussing residue emmanating from DM-Gravadyne7 into this map via a poorly-understood bio-quantum entanglement mechanism masquerading as a relatively straightforward Riemannian tensor flow process but intermittently showing field orientation properties of runaway photonic oscillation involving trillions of cesium atoms and beryllium ions all at the same time!

But they're there, trust me ...

StevieD said (in the readme):

--- My Goal ---
To keep UT different, unique and interesting. Now everybody repeat after me ...


:) Hee-hee!

(Anyone else see the Dec 19 update on DavidM's site? The "here are a load of maps that all look the same because everyone did exactly as I told them". BWAHAHA! A fine jape).

[navboy]

heh, you noticed ;)

The guy makes great maps, but he seems to me to be....socially retarded (read: a ****)

[Silus_of_Earth]

I fully anticipate my own crucifixion for saying that.

But what you don't know is . . . I like crucifixion...

show me the nails!

Are they rusty?

Are they?


I only want them if they're rusty!

[DavidM]

davidm is a mean arrogant arse who bashs n00bs!

[Nachimir]

Hello Mr. M.

I keep meaning to get back to you, but haven't downloaded and played all your maps yet. But I will remember to get all insulted when you don't tell me my maps are the best thing since sliced bread, then call you a <blah yudda yudda, insert badly thought out unreasonable insults here>. Rest assured.

Silus, have you heard "Banging in the Nails" by the Tiger Lillies? It's not exactly subtle, but it is quite funny. also, "Murder", and "Her Room".

DavidM:

you confuse me

sorry, that post was badly worded before I edited it.

What I meant to say was: Large groups of people are, of course, very rarely wrong. Look at western culture for shining examples:

Environment: Replacable.
Adverts = Women clever, Men stupid.
Excercise: Doesn't matter.
Junk food: is good.
Cultured music: is bad
Throwaway pop: is good
Four legs good: Two legs bad.

See? See? Large groups of people are always right. So if lots and lots of people say you bash n00bs, then it must be true! And the best part of accepting blind opinions is, I don't even have to think (http://www.zeppotron.com/unnovations/) about it!

[navboy]

huh, well put.

And lately i've been intrigued about the whole tendency to want things to be fairly absolute, things are either right or wrong, good or bad, cool or uncool, pc or not pc, leet or unleet i guess.

i like this idea (easier said than done of course): Humans should be capable of holding multiple and contradicting ideas and opinions in their heads at the same time ... They can all be true and false at once depending on context, but mostly their just different facets or views onto the same things but from different angles.

or somethin like that
