Being 2 levels above the current floor is no guarantee that all of the monsters on that floor are 2 levels below you. You'd not believe how much of a struggle it was to get Jeff to agree we should even slow down the combat for the menu at all! I think I can adjust the time some more. But really... be prepared, and no whining. I'll have to think about it. Definitely I want to add stuff for the stats freaks. We will see what all I can roll in for the big update. For instance, we're going to add a multi-page pause screen with a bunch more stats and info.
Well, there's nothing specifically about that in the rules of engagement, but I think that, at least for males, we're all used to putting things on hold while a woman digs through her purse, so it's kind of an automatic reaction. d&r
Ain't no smilie for booing and laughing at the same time. Too bad. Guess you're not a man-purse kinda guy, huh?
I have a simple rule: If it is prefixed by "man" and isn't followed by "cave" or "chester" or "look at the boobies on her," then it's probably emasculating. Plus, when men delve into the dungeon depths, all we need is a sword, a shield, and a pair of brass orbs. And this ashtray. And this paddle game. The ashtray and this paddle game, those are the only other things I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair. And I don't need one other thing, except my dog. <bark!> I don't need my dog.
Heh, I don't think it's so much a flow change (afterall, it's already slowing down the combat, which itself isn't very realistic - Sally could no more tell the thugs to stop in their tracks than she can tell them to move in slow motion) as it is a change in the strategy of the game. Slowing it down gives you a bit of time to deal with the interface and find what you want while still leaving some room for time pressure. Stopping altogether would remove that bit of stress altogether and alter/remove the strategy of thinking/planning ahead.
Laugh! I love a man who travels light, gotta admire that. Note: some of us do quite okay without...ummm...orbs. Another note: I personally need my two dogs _at all times_. Sometimes it gets crowded. So what!
This is actually what I was thinking (no really!) when I said "flow". You just said it so much better than the voice(s?) in my head.
Women have orbs. They're just north of the equator. (Or in the brain, if you believe Madonna. And there's no reason you should.) I actually didn't think anyone would get that one. My day is complete.
Choice between believing Madonna and Mindfield? Whew, let me get back to you on that. Okay, I'm back. Paul is right. madgarden is always right.
Do they have some sort of sharing agreement? Paul goes out, needs to look spiffy, asks the wife to borrow the keys to the breasts? Would make his ties hang funny though.
Wife and husband!! *face palm* NOW it all makes sense! I would think that they would keep your tie nice and straight
