    Buy my game!

    Just a note to let everyone know that my long-awaited Tolkeinesque space-trading FPS/RTS/RPG, "Hordes of the Temples of Alpha Centauri: Vice City," will be going live today. Please send your fifty bucks as soon as possible to make sure you don't miss out on one single minute of this revolution in pure gaming goodness!

    Please note that there will be no need to download anything or wait for FedEx to show up at your house, since not one line of code has been written. I plan to release the game as a patch at some point in the future. In the meantime, what's there is complete and fully playable, so send your money today to:

    One Born Every Minute, Inc.
    666 Thamerican Way
    Hogtie, AR 66666

    Make checks payable to "You Stupid Bastard." All major credit cards accepted.

    You only list a postal address, so if I want to pay by credit card, should I just mail you the card?

    What's your Paypal address? Wait, how about I just give you my user name and password, and you just pay yourself whatever you think your game is worth? I trust you.

    will there be lots of sex and violence in this game coupled with witty gameplay and added expanded multiplayer support?

    I want this game to be rated "E" for everyone but also "R" for 18+.. does it have the dual rating?

    As a member of the non-Hatian community, I find it disgusting the way you portray non-Hatians in your game. The 1st Amendment does not protect hate good sir!!!!

    Yes, that's how it works. Just send me the card and I'll run it. After I'm done I'll mail it back to you. (A $10.00 s/h charge will be added; this is a business, not a charity). What could be easier than that?

    Thank you. Your confidence is very much appreciated, and I assure you it is not misplaced. However, just like other developers, I can't afford to charge what my game is actually worth. I have to base my rates upon how much I can reasonably expect to wring out of you. At the moment, I calculate that to be around fifty bucks. So just send me your name and password and I'll pay myself something in the neighborhood of fifty bucks.

    My dear doctor, you of all people should know that only adolescents play single player sex games. Adults demand multiplayer sex. Likewise with violence: only certain fetishists go in for single player violence, whereas most normal people prefer bashing other peoples' heads in.

    Are you sure you're a real doctor?

    As for the rating, HTAC:VC carries them all. I figured it would be easier that way, and less confusing.

    That is a slur and a slander of the highest order, Mr. Dougherty. The only reason I portray non-Haitians in my game as disgusting is because they are, in fact, disgusting. If they weren't, you'd have a case. As it is, you're simply blowing smoke out of your disgusting, non-Haitian behind.

    Besides, players can choose to play a non-Haitian in my game. They can't win, of course, but they can choose to play one of those vile creatures if they want to. So case closed.

    The GMR review of this game was pretty positive. I'm stoked!

    Well at least with no code actually written yet, can I beg you to develop this for the PC ONLY. I don't think I could live if you consolized my beloved "Hordes of the Temples of Alpha Centauri: Vice City."

    Ain't it Cool News has Harry's review of a leaked screenplay for the HTAC:VC movie. I can't believe they cut the space hookers! That was my favorite part!

    A mate of mine would buy it just on that alone... he got the TMNT game just because it has "cool ragdoll effects" :roll:

    Does it allow gay marriage? Because if it doesn't I will sue you for all you have! (Paraphrased from an actual post in the SWG forums)

    I'm saddened that I even have to respond to these questions. The answers are: yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. Of course it has all these things. Who'd even think of putting out a game these days without them?

    The realtime pausable ragdoll physics combined with gay marriage is really something to see, too...or not, depending.

    While you may have thwarted my earlier non-Hatian complaints with your legal doublespeak, let me just tell you I am a third generation ragdoll, good sir. Your game furthers the stereotype that all ragdolls are addicted to physics like a corner hooker. Can't have ragdolls without the physics!

    I am organizing a coalition comprised of people who nearly vomit at the thought of sexual intercourse or interesting song lyrics and we will have our day.

    edit: Why are you teaching our children to kill?

    It'll be OK, guys, really. You all just stay here in the nice padded room and I'll go tell Nurse Ratchet to hurry it up with those meds.

    GCW has the CD-crack for this up already. Grab it; it does wonders for the frame-rate.

    Does it come with an editor? I want to tweak the dialouge between the hookers and ragdolls during the Haitian Divorce scene.

    My game is compatible with all known platforms. It runs just as well on a microwave oven as on a Sinclair ZX-80. That's the beauty of codeless programs. (Honestly, I'm amazed that no one else has taken this approach before, but hey, I'm more than happy to capitalize on everyone else's short-sightedness!)

    I'm torn, while you disgust me as a ragdoll hater, your approach to coding and design borders on messiah-like.

    I must spend some time in a cabin with some peyote and contemplate my conflict.
