gotta admit, that was kind of cool
x=global.linkx+lengthdir_x(link.speed,link.direction); y=global.linky-16+lengthdir_y(link.speed,link.direction)
x=global.linkx+link.hspeed; y=global.linky-16+link.vspeed
x=global.linkx+lengthdir_x(link.speed,link.direction); y=global.linky-16+lengthdir_y(link.speed,link.direction)
x=global.linkx+link.hspeed; y=global.linky-16+link.vspeed
I wasn't trolling.
A discussion about this just sprung up on IRC, but unrelated to this post. Neat. Anyway...
It looks amazing.QuoteMiah:Haha. It'd be pretty tough to find things by the time we're finished with the game, yeah. I mean, we can't have copyrighted materials, and we won't do anything vulgar, but outside of that people are going to be really happy, and really surprised. I mean we've spent three months of just hardcore list-making. A gigantic excel sheet of just going through dictionaries, and going through encyclopedias, and just grabbing anything and everything there is to get. Find and define every object. We have things in here that are so obscure that I don't think people are going to ever find them unless we release official lists someday. People won't write half the things that exist in this game because they're so obscure. You just don't think of them.
That's an incredible effort.

That's what I'm wishing for at least.
Everyone I know who's played Ac!d says its not bad.
Everyone you know are moronic.
A copy of DS title Animal Crossing Wild World sent out to media yesterday by Nintendo came loaded with most of the game's secrets unlocked, it also included a nasty surprise.
When you come upon Baabara, the town's resident sheep, you're greeted with a racial epithet. The word is used repeatedly in your conversation with the sheep.
"I almost forgot about you, N—-a" "So got any juicy gossip for me, N—-a?" "Just thinking about it gets me all excited, N—-a."
The word, written with a tilda over the N and an accent over the A, apparently popped up in the game because the person who was playing it, most likely a Nintendo employee, customized the greeting of the critter to include the word. One of the draw's of the original DS title was that the text speech of the game's inhabitants can be customized.
The sheep was first discovered by MTV's Stephen Totilo, who reported on it over on Multiplayer. I was able to track the sheep down on the version sent me by Nintendo and verified that she's just as mouthy in my version.
It appears that Nintendo copied the save for the game to multiple copies of Wild Word and then sent it out to game writers. The copy came with a letter explaining that content had been unlocked so writers could check out how moving stuff from the DS Animal Crossing title to the recently released Wii version worked.
We've contacted Nintendo for comment and will update when they reply.
