LeoLR: Maybe we should join forces. I can gladly donate my code to you if you decide to hold a giveaway later.
FearfulSymmetry: Yep, we could definitely do that. I'm sure there will be some takers then. :)
CarrionCrow: -laughs- That's funny, the front door almost got destroyed bringing a couch in.
The only reason why it fit was that the top and sides have a small degree of puffiness, so I was able to shove the couch in hard enough to make the puffy bits go flat, giving us the inch of space we needed to keep from destroying the doorway.
FearfulSymmetry: Haha yes, we had a problem getting the couch out of the house again. We had to twist it, get it halfway through the door, then twist it the other way to make it fit. Took a good ten minutes, and two of the people handling the couch didn't speak Dutch and barely any English, so that complicated matters even further. :P
EDIT: You're probably right about Jade Empire. The giveaway might be the best idea. I've held a giveaway for it before and there were plenty of participants then. :)
Ah, I know what you mean. The obnoxious standard method, always a pain.
The language barrier made it that much more enjoyable, I'm sure.
In my case, it was a roommate and myself wrestling it off of a truckbed, barely squeezing it between the railing, getting it lined up with the door since it was too large for the twist method you used, then finding that at a glance it still wasn't going to go in.
At this point, I was more than a tad frustrated (probably because my hand had already been smashed a bit), so I just hit one side of it really hard. That was when we figured out that the cushioning was adjustable if you slammed into it...
CarrionCrow: I have to take issue with one part of that statement.
That's not American writing. That's
Lucas writing. His ineptitude is not indicative of the country's ability as a whole. -laughs-
ddickinson: Good point, my mistake. (But Lucas is American, so that is guilt by association.) :-)
I'd try to argue that, but it's a sad truth. Star Wars will always be remembered by the observant as either having a hack writing it or someone who just wanted to add in a retrospectively intensely creepy incest vibe.
So while popular, it'll never be seen as a great example of writing by any means.
