But for a blind play through, I would wager maybe around 10 hours? That sounds a bit long, but the more I think about it, even knowing exactly where to go and what do to, it still takes a long time to get through just cause there's so much content. So it could really be near even up to 20 hours.
No version of this was ever posted on the forum, right? I remember playing that game Porter made a long time ago, but I think I have only seen a few screen shots of this game.
Nope. And it probably never will be.

Was that the game where he made a poll for rating his title screen and then threw a tantrum when the rating wasn't high enough?
Was that what it was? I remember he posted some screenshot that looked exactly like this:
And then ranted on about how long it took him to make in Bryce, how he had to "chisel" out the torus or some retarded shit like that.
To put that in perspective, that took me roughly 90 seconds to make in Bryce while failing to remember how to even use the program.

Last I saw he was hanging out in the community for some Final Fantasy fangame made in Sphere (remember that program?), and was basically writing that community's version of Wrong Way or something. Not that Wrong Way is a work of art, but I liked it better than whatever the hell he was writing.
War wrote:Impossible had a very short time as being OK before he ended up in and endless raging tantrum.
That short time being "his first 5 posts" maybe.
War wrote:Teenr0cker, well if you ever have to post that you are leaving an internet forum then that speaks for itself.
Indeed. I'm still not really sure what the fuck happened to that guy like... overnight. I think he hit puberty at the age of 17 or something.
War wrote:Then there was Glenn who had this christian like persona for the longest time, but then turned into something weird after he apparently read a dating book?
Yeah, that's a pretty accurate story. Not entirely unheard of, but at least he didn't become as much of a cunt as teenr0cker did after he discovered boobs (I think). Actually speaking of Bill trying to grab power (which in all honesty was him asking to be made ops once and then leaving in a huff after he was denied), Glenn did actually come back after like... a year of being gone and PM'd me asking to be made a mod. I told him dead forums didn't need four mods let alone one, and he vanished again.

At first he seemed like a normal internet troll, but he just keep coming back, acting like he wanted everyone to forgive him. He eventually tried to stage a cou, trying to get Jeramyu throw out of power in favor of him.
Lol, what? That happened? I mean I remember him being some tedious, 4-chan-esque troll (ala Blaksun, remember him? sorry) who then tried to act like it was cool and never really owned up to being the colossal douche he was. I never remember him trying to stage a coup. That's pretty funny.
God damn, if I have one regret with this community it's not getting admin sooner and not being a bigger asshole. Think of how much much sanity we would've retained if I just fucking banned guys like Excell (and I say him and not Impossible only because Excell was marginally more proactive with his cuntery) or blaksun or Inderos or whoever right off the bat. Sure we wouldn't have some of those... uh... classic memories, but you know what? I'd be okay with that.
Speaking of banning Impossible, here's some random facts:
Times I banned Impossible: 1 (He was being a douchesicle and I banned him, and he exploded at me that he was kidding and I unbanned him. In retrospect, I think kidding only made it worse)
Number of phone numbers of people in this community I've gotten: 2
My favorite people (excluding Lun, Roman, et al.): OoS, Iteroth, Sage
My least favorite people: Inderos, Takarious, Ryan
(Yeah yeah... the rest of you go in the "if you died it wouldn't garner a reaction from me at all" group)
Number of times Lun actually showed up in the chatroom: 4 or 5
Number of
compliments I've received about my modding: 1
Weirdest thing I did for this community: Host a terrible godawful winamp radio station for the E6 release party
Day I registered for the first real forum we had: September 11, 2001
Highest point of being in this community: Alpha testing E5
Lowest point: Boy that's a tough one... I dunno, having to mediate one of Excell and Impossible's millions of flame wars and not being able to ban either one of them.
Coolest thing that resulted from being in this community (that didn't particularly involve The Way or the community): Got to chat with iiShenron about the plot of TTHW
Anyway, here's one random picture for the road:
