"Real" Commander Keen

Post by Retodon8 »

I found some "real" Commander Keens (Commanders Keen?) on Flickr.
The "other Keen" behind the first link also posted a pic (second link) on his own profile.
Apparently that was at Otakon 2007.
Also a completely different Keen randomly battling Cloud Strife, and a female Keen?

Double Keen
Other Keen again
With Cloud Strife
Female Keen
Lego Keen and Dopefish (bonus image; Lego minifigs aren't real people)

Awesome finds, thanks a lot. :D Ok, who are those three Keen guys? :p I'll eat my helmet if none is from this place... :helmet Also, the Lego dopefish is cool, never thought of building one. Although, I don't have much of green at all...

haha, those pictures are freakin awesome. I wish I had gone trick-or-treating as Commander Keen at least once. No one would have gotten it, but it would have been amazing.

And that female, I think she might be the same that was quite recently linked in some topic where she was wearing a custom-made Commander Keen t-shirt. She probably is a Keen fan, considering that shirt and the fact her name is Commander Keen at Flickr. And of course this picture:

@CK Guy: Why not go today? It'd be a fun trick to your neighbourhood and surely a treat for us. :dopekeen (Don't tell them I got you to it...)

No one would have any candy to give out, probably. ;) Also, I don't really have a costume - I have a purple shirt, but it's nowhere close to Keen's pink color. Oh, and I have no helmet to paint. And I definitely would tell them it was you who sent me. :p

This reminds me of a 'discussion' a loooooong time ago on the PCKF about how there is no sun outside, it's just an invention by people who don't like computers. It was pretty funny at the time. (This was back when I was still lurking - at least 2003, probably earlier. Why do I remember stuff like this?!)

Gonna bump this old thread. I was the Commander Keen on the right (the second of two Keens at Otakon - a complete coincidence!) I happened to stumble upon this thread while, believe it or not, browsing this forum, which I used to lurk obsessively (haven't been online much for a while though).

Great to see some pictures of it made their way online finally!

Random inappropriate emotikeen time!

:british

That really is an insane coincidence then? Two Keens with shiny helmets, red guns and almost-blue shirts? Brilliant.

I very nearly bought a pogostick, too, but I couldn't find one. >:
