congrats, you've just won a Secret Monkey. No not the game, a monkey you can tell secrets to. Don't worry, it won't tell anyone else. Unless it's illegal, then it has to report you tot he proper authorities. It's under contract after all. Damned Union.

amedeus8 said 4 months ago

Sometimes I wonder if ALL my secrets are illegal... Can he at least do my laundry?

wastelander75 said 4 months ago

yes but not men's underwear. he does do windows, and dishes. no vaccuuming though, he pees himself and climbs the chandelier howling if you turn it on.

amedeus8 said 4 months ago

Bah, who actually vaccuums anyways? And I guess I only *really* need table lamps...

wastelander75 said 4 months ago

that's the spirit.

enjoy

wastelander75 said 4 months ago

oh. don't let it bite you. Something about a "rage" virus or something.

amedeus8 said 4 months ago

I already have a rage virus. It's called the Internet!

wastelander75 said 4 months ago

same here XD

n3rd said 4 months ago

Uh erotic gaming for crazy people. <3 :P

ChangeAgent said 4 months ago

When I see the word Tentacle... I think of other things...

wastelander75 said 4 months ago

hey hey hey! this is a Family friendly site. none of this tentacle porn talk now.

Not....that I'd know where to find that sort of stuff anyway.

-starts passing out fliers-

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Pfff, and here I thought you said you have the Internet.

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

He does. He downloaded it, burned it to a disk and forgot where he put the disk. Doesn't everybody?

Torinir said 3 months ago

Wait wait wait... I thought @wastelander75 burned his "fun images" to CD. His Internet is on the secondary drive.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

that's not.....yes. Yes that is exactly what happened :X

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

I knew it!

DestroyerOfWorlds said 3 months ago

So then what's with all those thumb drives he has in that shoebox, with the masking-tape labels that say things like "@#$^@" and "@$#&$#" and "$&*@$#?"

Torinir said 3 months ago

Those are the videos...

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

That's a strange code, though. I wonder what it could mean...

Torinir said 3 months ago

They mean those naughty words that younguns shouldn't hear or see. :P

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Oh, good. A second there I thought it might be alienspeak or something.

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

Why would it be Alienspeak? Everbody knows Slitheen only speak English.

DestroyerOfWorlds said 3 months ago

We only speak English around Humans. Nothing sucks more than to be busted because you forgot to speak English, so we try to stay in the habit.

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

We'd probably just think you were Mexican anyways.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

Andale! Andale! Arriba Arriba!

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Well that just makes you a mouse.

Torinir said 3 months ago

A Mexican Mouse to be precise. :P

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@DestroyerOfWorlds those videos are... well, lets just say FSM tentacle raping C'thulhi is a little somewhat less mad than the horrors he has on those videos.

I mean, ever wonder why is one of the most crazy people here?

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Did you just accidentally the person?

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 you mean to ask where I learned about the horrors in @wastelander75 's shoebox?

Maybe one day when you are old enough to understand the natures between a paputa snolox and a merita makusa I will tell you ~.^

Torinir said 3 months ago

What is this I don't even...

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

I'm 12 and what is this

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 ah--ask your resident Elder Gods when you are a little older ^.^

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

I have nothing to hide in my shoebox.

-hides his shoebox-

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Does it hold those shoes with the light-up heels? 'Cause I can understand how you'd want no one to get those.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

yes.

>.>

<.<

Yes it does.

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

I had a pair of those once. I don't know what happened to them.

*glare*

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

-hides his feet-

Sorry about your loss there, buddy.

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

*puts the shoebox in the evidence locker*
What was that about something you don't have?

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

Well, possession is 9/10ths of the law ^.^

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

Maybe, but it's hard to get away with a plea of "I was posessed," except in Star Trek.

Mishy said 3 months ago

*steals the shoebox and starts handing everything in it* there jsut ain't shoes in here boys! and Gals if your into it x D

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

*swipes the empty box and gives it to the kittens*

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@Mishy *looks down at her own sheer lack of feet.*

What are these "shoes" you speak so highly of?

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

More importantly, where the hell are your feet?

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 Lamias dont have feet silly ~.^

Mishy said 3 months ago

because i ate them RAWR!

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

lamias are good with chianti and ceasar salad.

tastes like chicken

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

Really? I've never tried a chianti or a Caesar salad made by a Lamia.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

it's got a slightly fruity side to it. >.>

snicker

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

I've never had a salad that tastes like Snickers before.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

oh it's simple really. Lettuce, Snickers bar. mix with whatever dressing you like.

serves one.

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

It ought to be easy to make a Snickers salad dressing. Maybe I'll call in and ask Lynne Rosetto-Casper during her cooking show next week. At the very least, I could play "Stump the Cook" and give her a Snickers bar as one of the ingredients she has to use.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

and butter. just those two items.

"now make me something to nom on beyotch!"

T.T

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

You have to give her 6 ingredients, and she gets butter and a few other basics for free.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

bah. there's no challenge then

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Give her a Snickers Bar, lettuce, ramen, onions, gravy, and sauerkraut.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

ok NOW it's a challenge after all :D

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

It's got onions. I'll eat it.

EarthboundX said 3 months ago

Yuk, onions.

Torinir said 3 months ago

Mmm... onions

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

and snickers.

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 I am pretty sure that _could_ figure out how to do something with that too.

Lets see...

First attempt for this:

I'd dice up the Snickers Bar and Onion, and mix it in a sauce pan with the Gravy and Sauerkraut. The Ramen, I'd have sit for a bit in some water--until it is fairly soft... enough that it is easy to eat. I'd drain the water from the noodle, and put the sauce mixture in the sauce pan into a fry pan with the noodles. Fry it all together, mixing it a little, just until the ramen is somewhat darker.

I'd then serve with grated lettuce as the garnish.

I would likely need to play with spices and other additions, such as hot sauce, salsa, spinach dip, vinegar, various fruit or maple syrup--depending on what it tasted like the first time.

Actually you know, I am kind of tempted to try this now... but then, I do enjoy Deep Fried Snickers Bar as well.

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 If you give her those ingredients, she'll ask why you even listen to her show.

The hardest one I can remember involved caviar, blackberries and sea urchins.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

that actaully sounds delicious

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

She had the guy make something like okonomiyaki.

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

@KatrinaTheLamia You need to make that and document it. On video if possible. if it works, we could have something going here.

I absolutely love finding things in the cabinets (and when I worked at KFC, just picking up random ingredients around the store) and throwing them together to see how they work together. Unfortunately, I'm no good at cooking so it usually amounts to weird omelettes and hot dogs covered in ew. If you're good enough to think of all that... it could be the craziest YouTube match-up ever.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

you should try my fruitcake recipe I posted in my intro thread. delicious. :P

LordXenophon said 3 months ago

I think I'd rather try to make a creamy, chocolatey Snickers salad dressing and let Lamia figure out what kind of salad to put it on.

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 Will do ^.^... I just want some prep time to try to make it work, and be decent.

Though if I do this, it won't appear on YouTube... I'll prolly try to work on getting it onto my friend Yami's web cast called: Red Octagon Tv http://www.rostudios.org/

-=- @LordXenophon that would have been my second attempt with this... but the idea of a Snicker's Salad Dressing, if the only thought would be "Snickers Salad Dressing", then I would be downed to try to figure something out there.

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

@KatrinaTheLamia Pfff, that's no fun.

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 well... see the thing if this works, I'd prolly be open to more combinations like this ^.^

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

And then... YouTube?

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 well... it will more likely appear on Vimeo or Google Video--as I would mostly be making it as a segment on Red Octagon Tv, and that is available for download, on Vimeo and sometimes on Google Video.

DestroyerOfWorlds said 3 months ago

Don't forget Veoh, so I can download it with their trickle downloader.

wastelander75 said 3 months ago

@amedeus8 have you tried any of the sam & max episodes?

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

@wastelander75 I played the whole first season when I had a GameTap subscription, and they were alright. I played the XBL demo too and the mouse controls with the control stick weren't too shabby. The episodes kind of get better as you go. The one where you fight a statue of President Lincoln for the presidency and then send the country to war is the best of them.

I've heard numerous times that season 2's a ton better, though. But I couldn't run that on my computer very well so I never played through it.

KatrinaTheLamia said 3 months ago

Yeah... I enjoyed Season 1 myself lots--however didn't find it had much for replay value--which is _very_ odd for a SCUMM game. Generally with most SCUMM games, you can play several times through just for the senseless destruction and mayham your character tends to make.

Once I get Steam working, I _will_ most likely be grabbing Season Two of Sam and Max ^.^

amedeus8 said 3 months ago

Well that's 'cause every single episode took place in the same spot with the same people, usually with one extra location each time. You pretty much played it six times over by the end of the season, anyways.

Season 2 cured that, I believe.
