The Universe is Toast; why foster this hope?

Sure, but i'm no ghostwriter (or a writer at all, recently).

haha, u dunt need 2 b a ghostwriter to back me up

I just find it hard to imagine that someone as creative as Tom Hall would let his story go to the grave with him. Keen seems to be the game closest to his heart.

Maybe he wrote the story down in his will or something.

TOM HALL MUST DIE!

If I can't see the concluding games I rather not hear the story either.

So they better make those games one day...

Ironically, i prefer the story to the games (not talking specifically about Commander Keen) nowadays; I simply don't have enough time for the latter.

TOM HALL MUST DIE!

funniest keen joke eva! ...well, maybe.

Though i would much prefer the games over the story alone, I must respectfully disagree with KR and say that at least the story would be better than nothing. But now a horrible thought just struck my mind...

These days, it seems that everyone is making movies out of those old comics, like Spiderman and the Hulk and the fantastic 4 or w/e that is. I can just imagine iD licensing it out to Holywood, and then we would have...Commander Keen in...THE UNIVERSE IS BACK!

kinda farfetched i guess, but there are other similar stuff out there, like Jimmy Neutron, Dexter, even that one (Disney?) movie with the kid CIA/James-Bond-like guy (cant remember name). It's a good thing Keen wasn't ever made into a comic.

You mean Alex Rider: Stormbreaker?

It's actually a pretty good movie. ^_^ Loved the book (and the rest of the series, or at least, the ones I've read) too.

No, never heard of that; what i was thinking of was Cody Banks (pretty sure that's the name).

Despite the 0.0000000000001% chance of Keen 7-9 ever being made, I wouldn't completely rule it out as a possibility.
If Mother 3 was finally made, anything is possible

And after Keen saves the Universe from utter annihilation, Mortimer can threaten the entire MULTIVERSE so they can go at it again

Hah, good idea.

Hope you didn't spoil the TUIT ending by telling that!

Don't know whether the phrase is really used there but this one just caught my eye (the last panel):

It's a pretty common saying. :) Like "We're dead meat" or "we're hosed."

Post by **KeenRush** » Fri May 30, 2008 18:00

Alright.

I thought it was more Keen specific.

Now, if Garfield referred to Jon as "Commander Clown"...

Heh, well, I came up with the idea by observing the following titles:
When the Earth Explodes, Goodbye Galaxy, The Universe is Toast.

As you can see, there is a general progression forming that could be nigh boundless based on what we know (and what we don't know) of existence
