BANNED  Posts: 2505 Joined: 19 Aug 2008   | Good one Shamus. I never did quite get the arcitecture in the new PoP. User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |
BANNED  Posts: 819 Joined: 22 Dec 2008    | yup, that is how i would build stuff |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 817 Joined: 3 Jun 2008    | Hey, it isn't broken (well not completely). So why fix what isn't broken? |
Paperboy  Posts: 18 Joined: 13 Sep 2007   | Nice, I especially liked the poem at the end :). |
Beat Writer  Posts: 147 Joined: 17 Jun 2008    | In their defense, they probably intended to install the floating castle options, but ran out of money halfway... damned crooked building contractors. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1407 Joined: 18 Jun 2008  | Hah! Nicely done, both the comic and poem got a good laugh from me. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 797 Joined: 28 Dec 2008    | Applause for the well written and witty Dr. Seuss poem. I want Shamus to compose a Shakespearean sonnet next week, the topic would be something along the lines of the dialogue between Elika and the Prince. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1800 Joined: 8 Apr 2008    | Haha, very funny as I find one of the major problems with the new PoP is that the level design works well for the running and jumping, but not so much in practicality. |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 18 Nov 2007  | Heh heh very funny as always |
Paperboy Posts: 36 Joined: 10 Sep 2008  | An alternity campaign i was in once had architecture from the same school of thought. the only excuse there was that it was from a race of fliers. Excellent work, but I'm suspicious that the first few panels may not be stolen. |

You got me there. At least, unless someone steals them from me. |
IT Director  Posts: 1542 Joined: 13 Jun 2002   | I love the poem, but I'm going to have to invoke rule 34 on the third panel. |

Persian palace: Now with reservoir tip! |
Paperboy Posts: 21 Joined: 4 Mar 2008 | The poem was insanely funny. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2622 Joined: 20 Jul 2008    | Nice job. Captured what I thought about PoP spot on. |

Muckraker  Posts: 299 Joined: 19 Sep 2008     | Damn, played and finished the game but the architecture always had me with a wtf. Ubisoft has a very strange idea of what Persian's are possible of doing. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3168 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | Very funny. This is a bit odd. ((I can speak, the ban has lifted, hear my voice!)) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1207 Joined: 28 Dec 2008  | But imagine running round a real life version of Persia (now known as Iran lulz), everything is no more than 2 stories high, clearly it would be no fun if there was a risk of you falling a thousand feet to your death. |

Artist  Posts: 189 Joined: 24 Jun 2008   | I did find myself wondering how all the non-wall runners/jumpers/fliers managed to get around the cities designed like they are. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4291 Joined: 20 Dec 2007  | That poem made me "LAWL" and then I clapped. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2351 Joined: 29 Oct 2008    | I think this is the best one yet. I keep having urges to read it again. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 703 Joined: 13 Mar 2008    | wait! just add Fable 2's Spire to top it off...there |
