Re: Why do you like Keen?

1) How did you initially get into the Keen games? It was the AAA game of the day and you just had to have it, and it was preinstalled (pirated) on a lot of computers supplied by backyard dealers such as my uncle. But there was also something deeper to it that I couldn't identify at the time through...

Re: Commander Keen in r/place

Blah. I was trying to line the feet up with that solid green line at the bottom but made the actual legs a pixel too high. I'm definitely too tired for this right now and now white dots are invading.

Re: Commander Keen in r/place

I've been following the standing sprite in the bottom right of this image. I think it's reversed lighting from the game. The greens seemed to line up more cleanly with the lattice using that one when I started.

Re: Commander Keen in r/place

I'm trying to get a yorp in around 1163,378 if anyone wants to help. It's a pretty stable location but I won't be able to stay up to keep it going tonight.

Re: What bands or musicians do you listen to?

I don't even think I could summarise this without a very long and very specific list. There are so many things I don't like that are basically the same kind of music as other stuff that I love. These days I listen to a lot of nightcore, trance and j-pop but it's a very precise segment of those genre...

You should see this thread: viewtopic.php?t=3039 . There were a few attempts to correct it, although some of the images there are dead.

Re: The Other Android Duplicate

The way I interpreted that line was that Keen had fallen for another diversion, not necessarily an android double: "You fell for [a diversion] in the Mangling Machine, and now you've fallen for [another diversion]." (Although both schemes were set up to succeed if Keen didn't stop them, so...

Re: New PCKF Logo

I like the block font. Maybe try horizontal yellow/green/white helmet stripes. Or Galaxy style font shading as part of another alternate heading.

Dunno about the cursive. I think it's too much really but if it stays maybe give it a brighter colour and/or remove the black outline?

Re: New PCKF Logo

i heart approximately all of those headers

The "This is neat." looks untidy though.

Re: New PCKF Logo

Nice. Love the pastely style. I'm quite fond of the existing round borders and lower case heading and would rather see the sharp corners on buttons and such elsewhere brought a bit more into line with that. Though it would be worth seeing how the alternative looks in case it does come up nicely. I d...

Re: Looking for Windows 3.1 Christmas Games

I went searching for the filename and found your MobyGames forum post.

Someone posted a video of "Christmas for Windows '93" which is most likely what you're thinking of:

Yeah, we should definitely go with something brighter and more concise like those ones Nisaba posted.

Re: 10 years on

Wish I'd known about the place sooner. Would have made my high school years a bit more bearable.

It's weird how Keen already seemed retro and obsolete barely a decade after its release. And now two more have happened and we still manage to keep it alive.

Re: Proper Pronunciation?

First i as in 'sit', a as in 'and', last 'i' slightly extended more like a y, with emphasis on the middle syllable.
