Serial Killer Round 39: Return of the Doubles Round (Cycle 12: We Have A Winner!)

[staika]

@Malyc: Well I hit normal splits all the time to the point one of the other bowlers calls me "Split Shot" since I am skilled at picking up splits. It's all about hitting the pin at the perfect angle to push it into the other pin. Most people also don't know that with lighter balls your ball will actually bounce off of a pin when it hits and you can use that to bounce your ball into another pin.

@Link: ...............no. Most of the 7-10 split conversions are pure luck and the pros usually try to have one of the pins bounce around and hit the other one.

@staika: So...just throw the ball harder! That will make it bounce, right?

I'm good at this game! ^_^

@staika:

Spoiler: So your strategy is a little like this:

 

[staika]

@Link: Well the ball has to be a light ball (about 12 lbs) for it to bounce off the pins. But the harder you throw it the more pin action (the pins bounce around and knock each other down) you get. But if you throw it too hard you won't get any pin action at all since the ball just blasts through the pins. But hey I got a strike with an 8lb ball, all that really matters is that you hit the head pin a little to the right (or left if you are left handed).

@RaN: That is actually a perfect example of what I am talking about. Though I was afraid that guy was going to throw the ball into the ceiling O.O

Yay guys! We made it!

 

[RaNDM G]

pchoooooooo!

Spoiler: HAPPY 100 EVERYBODY!

@RaN: Gotta love Animal Collective. ^_^

Also, hell of a display. XP

@staika: Anyway, back to bowling. If twelve pounds is considered a light ball, what's considered a heavy ball?

Spoiler: A 45 pounder?

@100pages: YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE MADE IT!

@Link: *clears throat*
Well I personally use 14lb balls since I can throw it pretty hard and get a lot of curve in it. A heavy ball is a 16lb ball since most balls only go up to that weight. I can't use a 16lb ball cause it destroys my arm pretty fast since I throw pretty hard. It doesn't seem like much of a weight difference but it's very noticeable when bowling >.>

 

[Malyc]

@100 pages: YAY!!!

*joins party, brings booze*

 

[Berenzen]

@10^2_pages: Yay!!!

In bad news however, my programmer and artist in the game that we did for a class project don't want to continue the game further, so we've cancelled the project.

 

[RaNDM G]

@Berenzen: Sad to hear that. Maybe things will turn around?

 

[Schizzy]

Wooo! 100th page!

 

[Berenzen]

@Ran Chances are not. They're both graduating and moving out late August/early September. The game is more or less done, needs about 5 or 6 more levels if we wanted to sell it which would probably be about a good 2 months of work, plus another month for polishing, plus a couple weeks for unforseen issues. So unless they change their minds (doubtful, they probably want to get affairs in order and such before they move), it doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Oh well, we did fairly well with the grade, so I'm happy with it.

 

[Link_to_Future]

@Berenzen: Is there any chance that you could finish the project on your own? Or perhaps repurpose the engine in the future or something?

I mean, there's got to be an additional silver lining here.

 

[RaNDM G]

@Berenzen: What kind of engine are you working with?

 

[ShindoL Shill]

@100Pages Let's celebrate...

Spoiler: Scotland-style

Skip to about 2 minutes in...

Fuck yeah.

@Berry: Shame... but at least you got some experience.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

@Ber: ...and you can use that XP to level up and one day become a lvl 100 Programmer.

[Jak23]

WOOO! 100!!!

@Jak: The cake is a lie created by the higher ups so that the experiment (you) would keep going through the tests...
