Oh, by the way, Harumbai has been added to the staff. He's in charge of maintaining the featured content now. I even wrote a news post in his honor. In last week's update, I wrote a lengthy paragraph about all the members that were either missing, or on vacation, or both. To follow up with that, I should mention that Yaya, Isa, and jellsprout have all returned! Yaya returned only to find that his three-arrow cave Threedom was not only impossible, but it won first place in IO Pentathlon Round 3. This further helped shos' argument that the IO comps should be rejudged with more effort put into them. Meanwhile, no progress was made this week on judging the final IO comps. The reason was largely because no one besides me was available for judging, and as a result, I forgot about it. Remember that Quirvy had refused to judge anymore comps since he can't seem to get very far in many levels, and shos did not seem to want to judge either (or, more likely, he forgot about my offer to let him judge). And Isa and jell still hadn't returned yet. It wasn't until yesterday (Sunday) after jell and Isa had returned that I started judging. In fact, I finished judging the last category just a few moments before writing this post. Now we just have to await input from the other judges and we could post the final medal count. Since I just finished judging the Collaborative Levels category of the IO, I can tell you that most of the levels were pretty bad, lol. But that makes sense since more than half the entries were last-minute and rushed. However, I was very impressed by Arrow Jumble, a HATPC level by Yaya and Harumbai, and by Level 7: Lava Lair, a Zelda Classic quest by canadianstickdeath with music by Dekudude:There weren't many new levels this week, and I didn't even play many of them. So I'll just highlight some old levels that probably deserve more recognition: Team GREATS Collab Level, an SMF level by shos, soccerboy13542, Woodstock, and krotomo. Immunity II: Bould Choices, a HATPC hold-right DDA with some hidden gem paths. Bounce, Aeon Demo level by soccerboy13542 And Harumbai's first addition to the featured content, Night of the Dying Alive, an old HATPC level by Quirvy from January 2009:Only one video was posted this week, but it was still really cool: Stupid Mario Level 5 by rosabellis. The craziest thing happened on Tuesday/Wednesday. I think I explained it well in this topic, so explaining it again is just redundant. Everything's back to normal now, and the only thing that's changed is that karma and post-counts have been recalculated and changed slightly for some users, after certain glitches were discovered and fixed. I spent most of my time this week, working on the new level database. You can see a preview of it here, but be warned that the images you see next to levels are being pulled up at random from past featured content images. I'll continue to work on it during these next few days, but some of my latest progress includes the new, friendlier URL's when you click on a game to browse through. I also added some new BBCode tags to the forums including: a better [url] tag, a [size] tag for font size, and an [s] tag for strike-through text. However, if you were online while I was trying to add these new tags, you probably saw the site blow up a few times. I haven't made much progress with Aeon, but the_grimace has been contributing several amazing sound effects for the game. Many of the sound effects would definitely have to be put to the test inside the game before we are certain if they are the right ones. I only wish I had more time to work on the game and get it ready for sound as soon as possible. In other news, earlier today a new member joined named Farmer Dandonovitch. If you don't get the reference, it's because you haven't read this post from 2009 yet. Anyway, upon registering, this mysterious new member then triggered this chatbox conversation: 'That Chatbox, which has newest posts on top and oldest on the bottom,' said: Sun. 7:33pm - Isa Livio, this is why you need a better search function Sun. 7:32pm - Farmer Dandonovitch With a side of some good, good, amazing Heineken. Sun. 7:32pm - Farmer Dandonovitch And make a pork sandwich outta u. Sun. 7:32pm - Farmer Dandonovitch Hey noob. I'm ganna steal ur bread 'n wine. Sun. 7:31pm - Isa This is the best thing I've read in a good while. Sun. 7:31pm - Isa Ahahaha Sun. 7:31pm - Farmer Dandonovitch I need to look for mah homie. Sun. 7:31pm - Farmer Dandonovitch Who are these people? Sun. 7:30pm - Farmer Dandonovitch And I'm ganna steal all your bread 'n wine. Sun. 7:29pm - Farmer Dandonovitch I'm Dando's namesake. Sun. 7:29pm - Kittikiyana Two new users...? Neezles? Sun. 7:29pm - Farmer Dandonovitch Hey noobs. I'm Farmer Dandonovitch. Sun. 7:28pm - Farmer Dandonovitch They are destroying all that is good in the world. Some day, we won't have to hide in here. Some day we'll be free again. Free to farm and drink and make levels for Hannah and the Pirate Caves. Sun. 7:27pm - Farmer Dandonovitch These cursed Nazis. Also, Captain Obvious has recently been spotted on IceCaves.net having an argument with someone who claims to be, but clearly isn't, CSD. The conversation happened in their chatbox, so it's likely to get bumped off soon. Best of the Week: Post of the Week: Captain Obvious tells Jell to go to his own Ask topic (there weren't too many positively-rated posts this week) Fail of the Week: New/Read Posts Level of the Week: Level 7: Lava Lair (don't let the date fool you, it was really finished on Wednesday) Video of the Week: Stupid Mario Level 5 GF4's Interguild Comic: see spoiler below: Spoiler: ''Episode 5'' User Comments (11)
