    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Many moons ago I asked Chris to answer a few questions for our <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=148>dialogue interview</a>. Chris was too busy at that time, but promised to do it in the future. Unfortunately, he lost the questions, but being too proud to admit that, he wrote a <a href=http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=154>monologue about dialogues</a> instead.

    <blockquote>As a "twist," I’m going to do this interview primarily through visuals, which is how I think game interactions should be in the first place - mostly because a good chunk of human dialogue is essentially communicated non-verbally anyway.</blockquote>

    Wow, what a...read. Dammit. All the anticipation and this is all we get? It might be funny and all that but I'm missing the informative part, the insights...perhaps I'm just to tired right now, or too ignorant. Anyway, dammit!

    When I first read the Struggle part of the interview I almost thought he was a writer for Bethesda. :lol:

    He better be careful before they send him a "cease and desist order" also.

    I chuckled. Especially that line about hate-mances.

    Of course he was being ironic! That's the main reason why I like him so much.

    Um. Can someone explain the bit with the personalities in the big jar? I didn't really get it. Was there anything to get? At all?

    The big jar probably represents his mothers vagina and the personalities his jelousy towards his father.
