Death by Default thread

[qq]

This a game idea I'm going to pursue after NaNoRenO, so why did I spent all this time drawing it instead of working on Terminal? Hmmm.

[rioka]

Love the title! Is it a murder-mayhem-mystery-thriller?

[Miko Aihara]

Ooh, shounen-ai.... I think Yuki's into that a little bit (hee hee)
Let us know when you finish, please!

[kara24601]

Oooh , interesting.
Not only is it shounen ai , but it does seem like it will be a horror / thriller or murder / mayhem type game!

[Taleweaver]

Hey qq, didn't I give you enough to do with the work on "Foxtaile"? ^__^

[Yang Sei Fu]

LOL, work on one thing at a time, man.

In the spirit of quotes that are trying to be a proverb,
You can try sharpening a field of knifes, but you'll never cut bread.
Sorry I can't stay with things easily my mind like to wander and come up with new ideas before I finish my old ones.

[kokoro nut]

I'll be glad to work in the programing department if you wish qq.
I plan to use the PopCapFramework(http://developer.popcap.com/)
should you ever start development.

[papillon]

... why?

Since that's only been publically released for a week or so, it's not like you're an expert in it. Nor, I suspect, have you developed a renai engine with it. Whereas there are several fully-developed ones already available....

Heh, that reminds me of something... *searches his HD*
Ah, found it:
MCDP (Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication) 1-1: Strategy (you can find those on the net, at least those that aren't classified... )
Chapter 1, Page 15:
"For example,
over a 25-year period—1969 through 1994—some 3,000
people were killed in Northern Ireland for an average of 120
deaths per year in a population of 1.5 million.5 For that same
period, there were approximately 291 murders per year committed
in Washington, D.C. in an average population of
642,000. " (That was during the civil war)
Hm, I better don't comment on it, else I break the "no politics" rule.

[PyTom]

I should point out, BTW, that DC has one of the strictest gun control laws in the country.

which, If I'm not mistaken, is a good thing, right?

[mikey]

Procrastinate? Well, of course! From gun control to yoghurt drink in one post!

I would also say that the whole buzz about Actimel is based only on clever marketing. It is actually scientifically proven, that the drink does NOT strengthen your body's defence mechanisms, and there are several university authorities who oppose, even tried to sue Danone because of misleading customers.
