Random off-topic stuff

[Coco]

Mechner is launching some kind of new project:

- Hopefully, it's another "Son of the Shah" game.
- Hopefully, it will be a 2D platformer, like oddworld.
- Hopefully, they'll understand difference between arab and persian aesthetics, like PoP3D.
- Hopefully, they'll focus less on zombie mayhem, and bring back human guards, like earlier games.
- Hopefully, they'll focus less on mayhem itself, and bring back 1 on 1 fights, like earlier games.
- Hopefully, I will be able to run it with my specs...

...aaaaand, since we can't stay off topic for long, I have one on topic question. Why Mac graphics of the original game can't be imported for PC? Technical reasons, or copyright?

I'm wondering if that is related to this: viewtopic.php?p=23050#p23050

[Norbert]

Very similar languages.

Well that I didn't know. I studied Farsi (Persian) a little, and one day, I dream to go and live there.

Where are you living?

[Coco]

In Serbia... Nothing related to Iran, just kinda like those languages and lands

Look

Well, sure, the countries are close to each other, and naturally, the languages mix. But I don't know much about armenian language, except that writing symbols are unique. Farsi, although it uses arabic script, it has nothing in common with arabic or turkish. Few words here and there sure, but I mean about the grammar. Heck, we even have a few words from farsi in our language, probably brought to us by Turks.

I also realized that I've found a victim to translate me the lyrics of this:

interesting

Never mind. He used the feedback form again, this time with a different email address (101414).
[Edit: Which, the second time I tried to contact him, no longer existed. Looks like he just keeps creating and deleting e-mail addresses.]

Spoiler: show

peterx contacted me using the popot.org feedback form.
But he entered an incorrected email address, petyodimitrov1014@gmail.com. Does not exist, says Google.
I tried contacting him using his popot.org account's email address, but that one also does not work.
I tried petyodimitrov2014@gmail.com (2014 instead of 1014), but that also doesn't work.
I also don't see a peterx on this forum (p#memberlist).
Maybe someone here knows how to contact the guy.

Starts off simple, more difficult starts at 1:07.
