Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | You already did: ...Tomb Rraider... And you dropped the '1'. I don't want anyone to think I got hooked 'cause of her exploding mammaries in the later versions. You'll hear from my friends at #l33td00dz. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | There is no game called 'Tomb Raider 1'. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | I never said there was. When I see someone referring to $GAMENAME, I think they mean the whole series. Hence the '1' suffix. Know wot I mean? |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | I know what you mean, but I disagree. In fact, putting unnecessary (and incorrect) ones behind game names is one of my pet hates. See point 3.2 in my editorial about bad reviewing  ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | It's quite simple, actually. What about "Tomb Raider (the first part)"? That should be clear and it's correct. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | I'm not sure. That might lead some people to believe that I only liked the beginning of the game. How about: 'the first Tomb Raider instalment' ?  Edited by ardell at 18:26 on May, 19th 2005 |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | No, my wishes were PoP2 and TR1... But we'll have to stop this, or we'll soon have a bigger word count here than for the article itself. |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | You almost made me want to register goodoldays.net and host a mirror with every game title reduced to its acronym. |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | Quote: Almost? What do I need to do to make you do that? Oh, a lot more than what you did, actually. I'm terribly lazy, and the domain is taken, so there'd be some work to do before I could even get to the name. In the meantime, I want to move up on the Gumby scale, so I'll refrain from anything that might be perceived as criticism of your ACP (Acronym Containment Policy). But I'm watching you, Kreosot. |

Member Bachelor Gumby Posts: 40 | Ah yes, but you could add some creative "if (uid=='ardell'){func_nukestat('ardell','Amoebe Gumby')}"-style code, no? |
