[NO NEW POSTS, EDITED TO REPLACE THE OLD NAME WITH THE NEW]


OK, I'm proud to announce that The Devious Device is a go.
We are in the early stages of laying out the details.

Right now, all I can tell you is that this will be a puzzle game, based on The Incredible Machine, by Dynamix. In this wacky contraption, you must solve complex puzzles by adding objects to blow up, to bounce around, and to walk around.

Users will be able to make their own puzzles, and post them on the Internet to share with others. Players can play two player inventions on one device, or maybe on the Internet or IR. later on.

Well, we will keep you updated.

ya I ve already got some of the artwork done, looks like this game will shape up well.

Well, speaking of the devil, I'm in too
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!

Soo... why is it called the Magnanimous Contraption? Do you fully understand the meaning of those words, or did Oxford add some meaning in the latest edition that I didn't know about?

ahh, working title.. i used word's thesorous.

please inlighten us

Cwhite

Please "inlighten" us? I'd be glad too.
Magnanimous means generous, carring for others, helpful, et ceter.
Contraption is an electronic device, so that one is good.
I'd suggest Inconcievable Contraption.

Ya, i saw that one before... its ok... like i said this is a working title..

Cwhite

I'm pretty sure it's IE, diego.

Yes, I'm a member of the grammar police!

Pam

Yo, Moose, it's etcetera.

(No I didn't need to but it was fun to rub it in)

Pam, do you use a dictionary installed in your PC or do you use the online ones? I have Webster's 2.11 and would like to have an updated version or newer dictionary.

No it's not, Luciano. There's a space between et and cetera. You should know that, it's Latin for "and so forth." You know, "et" means "and."

I'm usually a grammar police too, but my Florida public education has decreased my competence in the last 3 years. I feel so cheated
