Soo, um, do I need to do something here?edit: never mind, already did.

Click on your account name, then click the "Infractions" tab.

Technically those SMNC betas are useless now. It's already out. I also have a spare Dota key....

Chaps were made basically to prevent wear on your normal pants while riding a horse. They're crotchless (and assless) because the thick leather would make it very hot and uncomfortable in those areas for extended journeys on horseback.

NOW YOU KNOW
AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE
G.I. JOOOOEEEEEEEE

Just made this one...

+1 Internets to the first one to name the video.

Indeed he does. I can't give it right now, I'm away from my home computer.

Well, I managed to find this. I'm not sure how much use it will be, or if it even works still (You're using Game Maker 8 I think you said, this is from Game Maker 5). It's also probably horribly messy code, but meh. Just chuck this in the step event of the spycrabs and movement should (hopefully) be taken care of.
if distance_to_object(you) < 100{setnewcoordinate = 1xcoordinate = you.xycoordinate = you.y}elseif setnewcoordinate < 0{xcoordinate = you.x + random(distance_to_object(you)*1.5) - random(distance_to_object(you)*1.5)ycoordinate = you.y + random(distance_to_object(you)*1.5) - random(distance_to_object(you)*1.5)setnewcoordinate = distance_to_object(you)/4}if self.x = xcoordinate and self.y = ycoordinatesetnewcoordinate = -1mp_potential_step(xcoordinate,ycoordinate,3,false)setnewcoordinate += -1Change 'you' to 'pyro' or whatever the player's name is.Changing the 1.5 in "random(distance_to_object(you)*1.5)" to a lower number will make the spycrabs more direct in their attack. Making it higher will make them spread out more before attacking you.Similarly, "setnewcoordinate = distance_to_object(you)/4" making the 4 a higher number will make them more and more direct, but they will act slightly more erratically.I'm fairly confident that you'd be able to come up with something a lot better than all this though, this is from years back when I was just messing around with Game Maker.===========If you're looking for ideas for minigames, you could have a space invaders sort of thing, you play as ianskate (sprite being a guy on a skateboard?) who must shoot banhammers at incoming Pootis posters to protect subSPUF. I'm not sure what a Pootis would look like though...

Well, Spring Break is coming up, and seeing as I'm going to have some free time on my hands, I've decided to ignore my (many) current projects and get started on a game based on the wonderful thing called SPUF. It will be a top-down shootemup RPG. I'm currently working mainly on the engine, but keep on posting ideas!

Probably taking a few things from the Super Spuf Fighter thread. REP based powers, Fight off trolls, maybe meet a few famous spuffers along the way. Work your way to defeating (or joining) the Admins.

Again, open to suggestions, and I'll update as progress is made!

Looks like it'll work, so you want me to use those for your boss in-game?

The beatdown

Going with the theme of the "getting to know you" threads, I thought it might be interesting to see where we've all come from in our time connected to the World Wide Web. Simply post or explain communities or websites that you did/still frequent.I'll start:The first website I really started to get attached to was a Lego Bionicle forum called bzpower. That was really my first major website, and I spent quite a bit of time there. Next, one of my friends introduced me to Neopets and Millsbery, which were a bit short lived. My obsession before steam/SPUF was the infamous Roblox. Actually a ton of fun at the beginning, but it started going downhill after they introduced premium stuff. Now I frequent SPUF, SubSPUF, and the Game Maker Community.Your turn!

Say chaps, might this be of an interest to you?

I found it most beneficial in my on endeavors.

We should also only post in this font.

Hm, yes.

Long ago, in the land of California, I was on my computer. I was signing up for steam, and I couldn’t think of a name.Suddenly, from the heavens, an angel descended, and he told me to travel on the road, and get on my way to Scotland, and I’d be told what my username should be.So I went off, to Scotland, with nothing but 10 dollars, a pack of gum, a rubber band, and half a pencil. Out of nowhere, an eagle majestically picked me up, and made me fly into the heavens. I tried to break free, but then a voice in my head said “Don’t resist, just go.”So I was on that eagle for quite a bit, until I landed in an unknown area in what appeared to be Scotland.I walked aimlessly for hours, until I came up to a castle. Looked abandoned, so I went in, and there was nothing. I kept looking around, but all the rooms were empty of furniture, except for a bookcase in the what appeared to be a dining hall.I went up to the bookcase, and started looking around; There was some interesting stuff, records of towns, and stuff. I pulled a book, and the book case opened up, leading to a hidden passage.Since I was in Scotland, no idea where to go, and probably gonna die of starvation anyways, I decided to go through the hidden passage. Any sane person wouldn’t have done it, BUT I WAS ON A MISSION! A MISSION TO FIND MY USERNAME!So I went in, tripped on a rock, and got knocked out. While knocked out I had an amazing epiphany. I was in a dark forest, but there was a light somewhere. I followed the light, and I saw… SEAN CONNERY!“WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR BOY. Can’t you see I’m readying for battle! Against lawyers. Lawyers. Bastards. Every single one of them.”“Sir” I said, “I’m here to find out what my username for steam should be. I was told by an angel to come to Scotland, and find out here.”“YOU TWIT, that wasn’t an angel.” Shouted Connery.“That was a lawyer in disguise, here to find me! Now I’ve got to find another abandoned castle, or else the Lawyers will come and find me!Well, you came all this way. You will be… Sir Guy923. I can't think of anything. Here, take this hat too.” Then I took the hat and left.And that’s how I got my username. It was bestowed upon me by Sean Connery, in a castle, in Some part of Scotland. The story of how I got back to America though… that’s for another day./artfulwords
