There you are you magnificent bastard.
Time to pepper your angus. You don't want to miss the BBQ that I'm gonna do. There'll be lotsa booze and MEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sounds like a genshiken discussion ready to happen.

Specially considering the love of yaoi among the female populace.

It feels almost prophetic that in response to the skewed homosexuality produced to appease deviant fangirls, GOG would put the original Leisure Suit Larry to counter "teh GUEY".

Get it, play it, feel your manliness swell, then shrivel.

Steer clear of the new ones though, they are steaming piles of dung.

Any ideas on how to fix my "Forum Replies" option? When I click on it I just get taken to a blank page. It wouldn't really bother me but I always have that 'unread' number up there staring at me.

FYI I did try a different browser but that didn't help.

Thanks.

Brazilian BBQ, I am so in.

Does it involve an electrical/communication tower? Because if so, that's what stumped me at first. If it is, I could offer a non plot spoiling hint.

I does seem to get better as more of the story is revealed and the strange twists and plot developments. The mixture of landscapes is nice as well, especially the more bizarre ones.

I agree with you about these two points. The oxygen aspect seems pointless, as it's never a real challenge to get there and it adds nothing to the story. I'm glad it wasn't a more integrated part of the game though, where you had to be careful of time in case you run out of oxygen. I'm not that keen on timed games.

As for the second point, I completely agree. It could have done with some cutscene, or a narration explaining that you have been travelling and now it's night (or transitioning from one area to another). Something as simple as a voice over during the loading screen would have done the trick. I wondered if the developers ran out of time and had to keep it short, or if this was always the plan.

I don't mind yaoi,hell I've read some. But the problem is because it's a shotacon hentai and it made my jimmies achieve maximun over rustle.

I won't even ask how you know that. ;-)
Thanks for the advice, but it's not something that I see myself looking at any time soon. :-)

Hmm... so you have the opposite kind of problem than me. I almost never get notifications for replies. So just give your notifications to me ;-)

I didn't know that, yet another incentive to get to playing it right away.

I love commandos for two reasons.

One; it was a groundbreaking game that brought forth a number of new mechanics and polished some old ones to videogaming, enriching the medium for it.

Two; it was a locally produced game that didn't suck.

Unfortunately, I grew frustrated with its difficulty curve and got stuck, then forgot about it. It sits forver in my backlog of games I must play, bringing shame every time I see it remain unplayed.

It's annoying as hell. :P I have this big 6 up there. Three are updates (that's fine), one is a PM I made to myself (stupid), but there are 2 others I can't find combing the forum. Those two might be people DEPENDING ON MY REPLY BUT I CAN'T FIND THEM!!! :O

If the first games were too hard, try Commandos 2 - it's a bit easier, especially on the easy settings. Plus it's lots of fun. :-)

Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion, as you may have already tried it, but have you tried visiting the recent posts page? It usually shows me what replies I have waiting for me. Link below.

That's the problem, I have been using that. It takes me to a blank white screen.

It does indeed. It seems like it has long strips on its surface that could be used for walking if it I could knock the tower over. Currently I am trying to climb it through timed jumps, but it is far too hard and makes me thing that's not the solution. Any hint would be appreciated!

Agreed. The mimics and the what I'm calling "vorticella trees" are pretty creepy. And initially the story seemed to start with hints that this is leading to yet another "you're dead the whole time" twist, but now it feels like a proper story instead.

I concur. I'd rather have it be a trivial plot point like it is than be a time-pressure element. I hate those in games, it ruins any ability to enjoy the environment because part of your focus is always on reaching the next checkpoint.

I'm not sure which it is yet, I may have a better idea when the ending is revealed. I could see where it would be done deliberately to create a sense of dislocation, but I suspect it really was more of just a development limitation.

Okay, I will try to explain. You don't jump on the tower as it is now. If you look to your right (as you look at the tower) you will see some lava spurting on another ledge? You have to go back around to get onto this ledge, on the ledge there are two boulder that you have to push to make the lava change to hit the tower, thus letting you climb it. Once the lava is changed, cover the new lava flow with the second boulder, and the tower should fall.

I just quickly took some screenshots to help explain it better.

Screenshot 1: Run back around from the tower until you are in the same position as the screenshot, with the tower in the distance to the right, and the lava flowing thing to the right. Do you see the ledge to the right? Jump there. It's quite hidden, which is why I never noticed it at first. I highlighted it on the screenshot.

Screenshot 2: Push one boulder onto the lava that is spurting out. This will make it change to the other end of the platform. Then push the second boulder to cover that one, and this should knock over the tower.

I hope this help. If not let me know and I will try to do some better screenshots.


Ah, sorry, I thought that you would already have tried the link, but I thought I would mention it anyway, just in case. I'm not sure why yours goes to a blank white screen, mine seems to be working correctly.
