Well, well...whaddaya know?

[Texas_Fett]

I'm not sure if anyone else knew this already, but I stumbled upon something last night when playing Rebellion. For some reason, I right-clicked on Artoo and it brought up a menu in which I could either bring up the messages interface or turn off his notification of specific types of messages. Not that Artoo is particularly annoying, but it was pretty cool that it was possible to shut him up.

[Cain]

I started playng Rebellion without manual so I've kind of cliked everywere

 

My C3PO is killing me

[the_mask]

You didn't know that ?

But you do know, that you can right-click 3PO as well and turn off his translations. That's something I do on the start of every new game

[Trejiuvanat]

It was all in the manual, guys!

[the_mask]

Sure,

 

but that's what they're there for: to not being read

[Trejiuvanat]

You'd be surprised, what one can do when one is bored. Considering that when I bought Reb, my english wasn't really good, reading the manual did help me.

[Cain]

Ahhh....noooo Trej ....I need that manual !

[Texas_Fett]

It's in the manual? Oh... And here I thought manuals were just there to make the box heavier so you felt like you were getting your money's worth.

 

No, I knew about Threepio. Believe me, I had to find a way to shut him up the first time I played the game. Like I mentioned before, I'd pay good money to find a way to add a "slap the droid around" option to his menu.

 

BTW, like the new avatar, Mask. When does the rank change take effect? I wasn't able to check the site over the weekend, so I'll have to go and look for #'s 1999-2007.

[the_mask]

Thanks

Dunno, Evaders said, he'll have a pretty busy week, when I mailed him the new rank symbol, but I'm confident, that it'll happen soon

I was once just as optimistic as you are... Perhaps I'll get my new rank by the time I make 3000 posts... Just under 70 to go.

[Jahled]

-184

 

Err...ummm....

[Darth_Officer]

yeh, hit or miss finding this stuff.

 

technically not easter eggs but not easy to find

[the_mask]

Jahled: go man, go

you're gonna be there at the weekend, I guess.

 

SS_O: hey, welcome back ! What took ya so long ?

[Texas_Fett]

Jahled: go man, go

you're gonna be there at the weekend, I guess.

Don't encourage him, Mask! You've already set the bar pretty high with your 2000th post, so Lord knows what Jahled will do to one-up you.

[Trejiuvanat]

Hey, I'm close to the 3000 posts.. I wonder what you get when you achieve that. Tex, catch me if you can.

[Texas_Fett]

Tex, catch me if you can.

I'm up to .9 a day, bay-beee. Still, I don't think you have anything to worry about, unless I decide to become a dedicated spammer.

[Trejiuvanat]

Admiral_Antililles was adedicated spammer and made 1000 posts in about a month, you could still pull it off. There's the What are you listening to? thread, and lots of others, that can help you spam your way up...

Well yes, and I would have already posted in that thread, except that the headphone jack on my pc here at work is busted, as is the volume on my clock/radio/cd player. So all I'm left with is the disjointed ramblings and whistlings of my middle-aged, english-as-a-second-language Mexican co-worker.

[the_mask]

I have no doubt, that Jahled will find enough hilarious pics to achieve just that (and then some)

 

Trej, with 3000 you get to be an assistant ... , uh ... , Vegetable ... , no wait, .. well, you'll have 3000 posts for starters

[Trejiuvanat]

Probably whistling lots of nasty Tex-Mex, or Rancheras, or other rather nasty Mexican Music....

 

"No tengo trono ni reina,

Ni nadie que me comprenda

Pero sigo siendo el REY."

Or just REALLY mangled versions of classic songs, like Paradise City...that one is particularly painful to hear.

[Jahled]

Here's a good piece of completely pointless spamming:

 

Trej, me'ol' mucker: What does

 

Barrio Nuevo translate as???

 

If you tell me, i'll quite possibly send you-yes send you-a very fine CD...

 

...to spam or not to spam, that is our lot in life....

I believe it means "New Neighborhood", if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you Mr Fett, as you can now see your post count has now gone from 240 to 241!!! It must feel very good.

 

If you now jump over to 'what are you listening to' in Outside Interests, we can get that up to 242 by replying to another completely pointless post by me... see ya there!

Many thanks, Jahled. I couldn't have done it without ya.

 

See ya there.
