Announcement   Announcement : Apologies regarding invalid Cave Story announcement.
   posted by spotUP on 29-Jul-2008 20:57:47 (5849 reads)
My apologies.

Due to communication problems on my part, the previous announcement about Cave Story is not actually correct.
(Read more)


I misinterpreted the mail I was sent. It was stored on my webmail, which I don't check very often. When I went to post this News Item, I couldn't find the mail as I wasn't looking in the right place, so, I relied on my memory. I accidentally mixed up two different events and e-mails that lead to this invalid announcement.
My deepest apologies for this.

Long story short, Cave Story remains out of commission as the port turned out to have a serious bug, that makes the game impossible to complete.
The bug is not yet fixed nor found, so the powers that be have decided having it out there is kind of pointless.

I asked the Moderation Team to remove the other news item as it was inaccurate. Don't blame them for the deletion, I am responsible for this mess on my own, and I am the one to blame.

Again, people, I am very sorry for this mess.

Signed, spotUP

OK... so SpotUp made an error. He apologised, explained why it occurred and I am sure he WON'T make the same type of mistake again.

(Measure twice, cut once.)

I am also sure he doesn't like others squeezing lemon juice in his wounds... and when things get straightened out, I am ALSO sure we WILL be one of the first to know developments.

Therefore, can we please move on to discuss more interesting topics like.... why is it men's belly button fluff is always blue?

Mine has always been white. Should I see a doctor or a priest?

I actually know the answer. It seems only my blue t-shirts are of bad enough quality to leave fluff behind. Or they get used more. In any case, given that almost all free t-shirts (free ones of course being lower quality than expensive ones) given away by manly man companies we deal with are blue, there's a lot of blue t-shirts that need using in our wardrobes.

Examples from my wardrobe: Gennum (chip supplier) t-shirts, SBBE (wind band I play in) t-shirt, ARK (ham radio club at the university) t-shirts, Network (company I work for) t-shirts (a whole frigging bunch of them, all blue but in different designs), UKEsenderen (radio station for the student festival at the university). All blue.

I actually don't think I've ever gone out and bought a blue t-shirt, yet half my t-shirts are blue. Or in some funny african design

I hope that clears it up. The solution: throw away your guys free t-shirts and set him up with some good quality t-shirts, and you'll see a remarkable difference in navel fluff amounts and colors.

And do forget to report back. Please.

Bizarrely enough, a study in Australia found that the fluff actually travels upwards from underwear!

Just to calm things down, the Amiga version of Cave Story will return in the future, when the bug is fixed, and things are cleared up. Things are looking good. For now, use the buggy version, when you reach the black room, copy the save file to a pc, and save at the next save on the pc, and copy it back to your AmigaOne and you'll be able to beat the game.

Even worse. Who here can say they have a significant number of red or pink underwear. No, manly man underwear is unfortunately either blue or grey...

Pah. The only "free" t-shirt I have is a certain grey one with a red logo on it. I waited about 4 years for it and now you're suggesting I throw it away? I daren't even wear the damn thing!

Well, you start out with a single instance of the former, and a good selection of white/light grey items, and through the magic of the washing machine, you will soon find yourself with many of the latter :)

Or Linux? There is a Debian x86 version of the game, it could probably be run with QEmu as the Flash Player did!

@umisef

that's another ironic thing, yeah

We would never buy pink underwear, but we have no problem making our own
