Ok Pete....

I'm ditching the review, BUT you said anything....right?

So, I'll do a rant on the morality/praticality of making an AI in QB.

Ok?

[m2j]

Wow, finally fork back. Damn electrician fork up the wiring of the phone lines...

It's been a while. Nice to see someone else submitting comics, and I'm gonna give a big fork read of the last two issues to get up todate.

I'm a little dry with BBY at the time being, cause no-ones pissed me off lately, but I'm gonna write SOMETHING and send it to you, I swear...

Anyhoo, hows it been and shit

Matt

[Pete]

Hey man, I was wondering where you went to!

Great to see that you're back. Hopefully you can find the time to make a few more BBY comics or something, because they ROCK.

Anyway...gotta go to class.

[Rattrapmax6]

I drop in 3 things for the last QBE and I get the unlikly list!! Hurray!!,. I said I take more than 30min to lay out a new QB Comic, but not miss the deadline, and I've finished it up,(3 hours this one, some eye-candy too! trust me )

It will be in the mail today or tomorrow, maybe I'll think of a tut, or somthing too... on animation, maybe, slap that in the unlikly menu, hehe,.. ,.. or anything you need I'll try and see if I can't do it..

[Pete]

Rattrap: I didn't get any specific information from you about what you were planning to submit. You just said "something" before...therefore, the unlikely list.

[Rattrapmax6]

I think I need to be more clear when I say a joke,. I was joking ..

hmm,. I thought I said somthing bout it,.. I did, but it was awhile back right after the last QBE,... oh well,... I'm working on getting it to you now.

I might explain how to make a parser and show my example proggy that has its own thread!

[Rattrapmax6]

I might explain how to make a parser and show my example proggy that has its own thread!

Say, so does that mean mine and Mitth's patch works for ya? Not nice you leaving us hanging wondering if our debuging power has been wasted,.

Hay Pete, that comic is in the mail.. This one should be betta, the last lost in color when I moved it to my other comp,. I repainted their barn.

PS: Nathan, hehe, I still think that proggy is alsome, keep it up. =b Where is this thread?

[m2j]

OOh! Who's up for BBY Vs Horse?!?!?

matt

[Mitth'raw'nuruodo]

hmmmm...ok ya please tell us

[Rattrapmax6]

I wasn't going for that, hehe, I just have millions of horse comics, more modern cross midevil city of 'em... I'm just spinning 'em off for QB, and FB...

You don't have to worry about me stepping up to your blood n gore,. other wise M - Ao rated comics,.. Your style is somehow holding up, yours was missed over my replacment last month.. But graphics, thats what I'm holding right now,. but thats limited, and I wish you not to step up yours, ..

[m2j]

Wow... Who noticed it was missing?!? That is a surprise

So its agreed: Your sphere of influence is actual humour, real pictures and more then black, white and red,

While I get unreadable fonts, eye seeringly pure colours and immoral conduct?

matt

[Rattrapmax6]

Yep, that just about sums it up..

I got some nice eye candy n the first 6 frames this go around this month,. and I repainted the barn..

What new things are you pulling or cursing out this month??

[{Nathan}]

Do the comics have to be QB/FB/Computer related? I was thinking about making some Zelda comics for this issue.

[Rattrapmax6]

, If its about a Zelda game in QB or FB, I'm sure that would be fine, but looking at M2j's Pete might just take anything... Course Pete like M2j's, oh well, PM Pete and find out!!!!

[Pete]

Nope, I'm only going to run comics that are QB, FB or programming related. Zelda is too far off topic for this mag.

[m2j]

but looking at M2j's Pete might just take anything...

Hey... Hey Ratboy... Hey-fork YOU! dON'T THINk I didn't hear tha8xot. Expect a slaughterous retord form BBY sometime soon.


And Pete, I'm emailing you part one of a four part music composition tutorial I'm writting. It's not expressly QB, but I will be explaining it in terms of Winjammer and Qmidi like 19day did with QBTM (at least I think it was him), but focusing on 'Classical' ways of actually writing the scores, like I learn in music class. It's aimed for coders with no musical ability so they can write songs for their games, though this first installment is pretty much all theory.

Anyway, take a look.

matt

[Rattrapmax6]

BINGO! M2j, you took my bate quicker than I thought,.

But somthing about Bullies get me fired up, just had to lay that for you to pick up, hehe...

Slaughterous?,.. don't waste your time even trying to make me mad, or retaliate,.. I'm the hardest person in the world to tick off... you have much better things to do with your time I'm sure.. And taking on me would be a easy target belittleing your cursing powers.

Oh well, Nathan, guess that means no Zelda, altho there have been several Zelda's done in QB,.. aka, scroll back up to get's Petes message.

PS: Sorry for getting in with you QBers comic Idol,.. I just couldn't help myself... ,...

[Mitth'raw'nuruodo]

A ZELDA COMIC???? ARE YOU MAD???

Please don't contaminate the ZELDA series, like that game did a while ago, I can't remember the game!

Ohhhh.... a music tut! thats great, I could learn now accually how to write my music for the game.....

Lets see, 3D graphics, good game style (simple yet good), and now music, hehe, NOW I SHALL TAKE QB TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL AND MAKE IT WEEP WHEN I COME!!!!

Umm...never mind that.

Oh ya Pete, do you what it or not?
