Well, here's the thing. Escape Goat is essentially two very different games in one.

There's the standard game, wherein it's puzzle-platformer with the puzzle part usually being the predominant part.
After that, though...

After that is All Intensive Purposes.

All Intensive Purposes is an additional 36 levels where it's about 85 to 90 percent platformer, and the difficulty level for some stages is high enough to rival Super Meat Boy in their sheer desire to murder you endlessly, break your spirit and make you quit.

Additional - That's just fantastic....

If there isn't one that says "When we make love, I'm wishing you were a pigeon.", I'll be tremendously disappointed.

You have a point there. Making a work more accessible and understandable is something to consider, but the words/ terms and structure used should be chosen very carefully. Ancient works, at least Greek ones, have a certain poetry and atmosphere, and it's quite easy to lose them during the translation, even "ridicule" if not done carefully. Then there's also the human factor - translating while also interpreting what the author of the original work "wanted" to communicate or "meant" is a danger.
Generally, I'm for staying true (or at least as true as possible) to the original work while making use of the tools of the translated-to language to convey not only the words, but the atmosphere and beauty of the original work, while avoiding personal interpretations.


I bet he wants those pillowcases. ;-P

Those pillowcases remind me of why a lot of people see Japan as nothing but wall-to-wall unpleasantly weird shit.

Must resist the WB and the upcoming weekend sales .

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, or something like that...

Perhaps an answer to the new generic avatars.

Sorry to keep mentioning this, but we are reaching a new level of pathetic here. I've been up since early this morning hanging out in here. I've probably made approximately 30 post in 15 different threads and in the past half hour someone has meticulously gone through and negged EVERY ONE of them. :P

Do you realize the kind of patience and perseverance that takes!? He's like a Zen Master of being an asshole. XD

This guy even hit a post I put in a necro thread in a gaming forum that hasn't been touched in two years. He must be using a tracking system or something.

That sucks :(

I can't see how anyone could be bothered to do all that just to de rep someone they don't even know...

How do you know the posts are being -'d? Can you see that in the thread?

Screw that. I want this guy doing my taxes; he doesn't miss a thing!

ROFL

At least you've still got your sense of humour over it :)

Think I'll go play some KOTOR.

Unwind. :D

Have fun :)

I think I might play some Lords of Xulima myself. Trying to understand fluid dynamics and erosion, and it was difficult enough but now I'm a little drunk and chances of any of it sticking are slim...

So bugger that for a game of soldiers!

* Instant HUG *

*big hug* Here you go :-)

I like your sense of humour :D
Do you want a hug? *hug if answer is yes*
