Public Commander Keen Forum

I always heard that it's only impossible for matter to travel quicker than light. Someone gave an example: You're holding a laser pointer, and you swipe the dot back and forth on the surface of a building about forty feet away. Simple physics - since the aperture of the laser pointer and the laser d...

Oof, right in the Central America...
Well done, guynietoren! Your art is cool - it has that Keenish EGA palette feel, but the high resolution makes it stand out and keeps it from burning my eyes.

Due to the fact that Spot was not crushed in the Earth's gravitational field, I suggest that Yorps are not native to Mars. Perhaps they were once an interstellar species, but faced hardship after landing on Mars and lost most of their technology and knowledge; survival being more important to them t...

Welcome to the boards, Eurysilas! I hope you enjoy your stay with us. AFAIK, Ceilick is still among the living; he probably does have a lot to do. :crazy I was one of the composers for Keen 9, but the entire music department was headed up by _mr_m_. If it's a soundtrack release you want, he's the ma...

"We the People of the Public Commander Keen Forum, in order to establish a less butthurt community..." In all seriousness, I think community-reviewed rules are a good idea. Either we could vote to appoint a panel of non-moderators, who would then review the rules, or we could go the long r...

I live in Mississippi. Depending on who you ask, my state is either poor and normal, or poor and very racist, and I don't know any Nazis here. There are tons of political "parties" that are basically small, benign cells of crazy people. It's not likely that any of them will gain more suppo...

I don't think I've ever done anything to attract moderator attention in a disciplinary sense, so I can't really empathize. However, I will point out that repeated warnings often do nothing to stop inflammatory posters, so bans are used for actions which seem trivial to most users. So far, I haven't ...

False. This is what a U-boat attack looked like. The Titanic would have been not just damaged, but decimated. No one above decks would possibly have missed a 100-foot plume of seawater. Also, the Titanic sank at 41°27'34"N, 50°8'22"W. That's about 1700 kilometers away from New York h...

In my last dream, I was in an extremely large aircraft hangar. The ceiling was about fifty meters above my head, and I had the impression that there were multiple levels. In front of me was a large door, which was around twenty meters wide. Looking left and right, I was unable to see the ends of the...

Hmm, Grimson, that looks enlightening. And chilling. Am I the only one who hears the Bloogfoods, Inc music right about now? I'm pretty sure my family and I have nothing to worry about, though. We grow almost all our own produce (except for things like bananas and starfruit) and our municipal water s...

Thanks for your comments, Benvolio. I've tried for the past year or so to be less concerned with pride and more so with achievement. I've been taught practically Cold War propaganda in my history classes, so it's been quite a struggle to free myself from that programming. I think the problem I addre...

I'm kind of disappointed in the direction my country is headed. I don't think the US will be dissolved any time soon, but the fact is our economy is terrible and the work we've done during the past few decades of relative prosperity is being passed up by others like Russia and the EU, who have done ...

Too Hot would actually be a good choice for this sort of thing, as it's not that complicated. Perhaps some progressive levels of instrumentation, like in this video, would keep it from becoming too monotonous.

All right! I think we have sufficient interest to go ahead with the project. What'll it be guys? My personal favorite Keen song is "Oasis" from Keen 4, but we could also do "You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables" as they've sort of become the unofficial theme songs of Keen. Or, we co...

Hey guys! I stumbled upon this the other day, and I got an idea. For those of you with a slow connection or expensive bandwidth, that's a Youtube video of Eric Whitacre conducting a "virtual choir" - a collaboration between several hundred people who sang parts, submitted the videos, and w...
