he is located in Holland, his connection is ADSL, 2240/416 Kbit/s*. He played ET fine until this problem. Thats all I know about blizzard (well, what concerns this topic :wink: ).

everything works again… i did that stuff what in pgh`s post… dunno what it is but it works… v43 thnx guys!

Hehe… ill explain. :slight_smile:

Basically:

com_hunkmegs:
Ammount of Mem that ET will use depending on its value. Eg, if set at default, 86 I think, then it uses 86mb mem. Obviously the higher its set at the more mem it has allocated and can run more efficiently. Highest possible value without having any more effect is around 256/260.

com_soundmegs:
Dito as above but the ammount of mem for sounds. Preloading sounds etc… iirc.

com_zonemegs:
No fkin idea… :slight_smile: - just rc’d u up it.

“I am rubber, you are glue”

wasn’t that one of Guybrush Threepwood’s replies used while “insult sword fighting” in monkey island?


(eRRoLfLyNN) #10

I will do my best :smiley: Have you got a second line to rhyme with it?! :stuck_out_tongue:

@BondyBoy, please explain more. What is this monkey island you speak of? I’m intrigued!


(BondyBoy007) #11

well you could continue with this (which i believe expands on it’s meaning also):-
“shit bounces off me and sticks to you”

Monkey Island the point and click adventure game which was one of the 1st computer game that had humour(which worked)

It’s spawned many sequels and it’s second incarnation (which came on 11 floppy disks) was the reasoning for me spending £100+ on a 20MB hard disk for my Amiga

monkey island :smiley:

hilarious games

i am rubber, you are glue

everything you say

bounces of me, and sticks to you ©® monkey island > other games

Yes the monkey island series were hilarious games…

Sometimes people even give the correct awnser from the game…

Something like… “you suck, i will beat you black and blue”

They used the"i am rubber, you are glue" sentence in a armwrestling fight with some pirate who joined u after u beat him…

He would say something and u have 2 give the correct reply… then u knock his arm down a bit and visa versa… Really hilarious…

Marco… POLO!!! Marco… POLO!!!

AAAAh the memory’s --> guybrush treepwood :banana:

I suppose it was all text-based or were these things said in audio?? I could try a Monkey Island ballad, complete with sound effects! I have some ET/RTCW-based tunes which I am unveiling to the VPL guys at our LAN party next weekend. I might put them online if anybody would be interested?

@BondyBoy, man they saw you comin’ for that 20mb hard drive! :stuck_out_tongue:


(ETplayer) #17

the latest games were with audio… it was hilarious… i suggest u play monkey island 3/4 :slight_smile: the other ones are pretty old…

:smiley:


(evilsock) #18

um, Monkey Island 1 and 2 are now ‘abandonware’ so you can download them for free :slight_smile:

Maybe this can help?


(pgh) #19

My god. The good old days indeed…

Boris… oh Boris… (Skull btw ;))

Anyone remember the spitting contest? Or the grassy knowl gag? :smiley:

Elaine as gold :confused:

For more fun…

Sam and Max
Maniac Mansion < teh win.
Monkey Island 1/2/3/4
Grim Fandango
Broken Sword 1/2 < Great games these btw… so intense. :smiley:

These imo, are 5 games everyone must either own or completed (YOU CANT PLAY A POINT AND CLICK FOR 5 MINUTES!!1)… if you haven’t done any or even just the one I highly suggest go grabbing your medication (spliffs? beers? your dog?) and sit down for a few nights and become entranced. :smiley:
