Well, they didn't acknowledge what the fans want to happen openly before. I'm sure they paid attention to reactions to inform their story writing, but still acted like they were sticking to the script (or that things weren't scripted before that).

Ah, gotcha.

Complaints are never something to be ashamed of. It's always a matter of degrees.

You too TOZ. Send the wifie my best. I miss seeing the both of you.


If no one minds, I'm going to change the mood by making a request.

(Still totally keeping all of you in prayer, though.)

EDIT: Also, to clarify, I'm definitely not asking people not to give them comfort or condolences if it's in your nature to do so - far from it. I'm just adding this thing here, even though it doesn't fit the current mood for people to answer later.

It's in spoilers, so those who are playing in my game don't accidentally read it.

SPOILER! My players are not permitted here until the first 'adventure' of Gob Smash is officially over!:
So, I'm running a PbP (very poorly, I might add - I was doing well until our son was born early, alas, but after that I've been... erratic, despite my best efforts).

So anyway, we're at the climactic battle (as you do), and I wanted some great sound effects.

I have a great mystical language to use for dramatic effect. (It's Sanskrit, imitating a kind of celestial/sylvan/spirit-language in this game.)

I have a great dissonant soundtrack to play (though I'd appreciate finding a looped/extended non-"remixed" version). ((TV Trope Warning: however, it used to be called something other than "Soundtrack Dissonance" - like "Runaway Soundtrack" or something like that, but I can't find or recall the original name... anyone know?))

I even have a great, melodramatic bells to ring first!

... but I can't find a great earthquake noise.

Don't get me wrong. Collapse sounds (nope), Fall sounds (nope), low-rumble earthquake (great, but not enough on its own), earthquake 2 (also great), Earthquake Soundscape (unfortunately too many "modern" sounds), Cave Sounds and CAVE SOUNDS (going to use both... later), and similar exist, buuuuu~t, none of those are really close enough.

What I'm looking for is something kind of like this (WARNING: VAGRANT STORY MEGA-SPOILERS)... only less "fuzzy" and with none of the needless extra sound-effects.

The problem is that they're inside the cavern as it's collapsing (it's an enormous 110+ ft. tall cavern and an earthquake spell is targeting the center column at present), and the kind of low-key rumbles... just don't have everything needed. I wanted sounds like a few falling rocks or collapsing columns or something, and... my Google-fu is really weak, or they're really hard to find. Preferably something extended or repeating.

So... help me, all, please! You're my only hope usually much better at finding things than me! Thanks!


From here...

Freehold: He wasn't. He was sent to kill a "fellow soldier" who "was going to attend one of our meetings". He entered a short way into the service (dressed in combat fatigues and looking kind of like a charismatic, sentient, moving mountain) angrily looked all around, and eventually... just sat down, apparently waiting for the mark to arrive.

Even once everyone else had left, however, he was still sitting, staring angrily at the floor. My father was kind of terrified of a huge, furious military guy staring angrily at the floor, you know? No idea what the situation was. (I was hanging out with the kids of the translator and a few local volunteers.)

The guy angrily (and in English) told my dad that he was "wrong" because "your God can't 'save' me" and so on. It was in talking with the man that we found out why - because he was here to kill someone - and his reasons for doing so (the guy had turned down the KGB mafia on some mission or another).

In any event, the man eventually broke down sobbing, cue the "Christian transformation" story (usually corny when in movies, really powerful in real life), and... that's how it went.

Incidentally, one night around then, my mother's purse had gotten stolen, which held all of our IDs, credit cards, and basically everything for both her and I - terrible things to happen anywhere, but especially when you're in a foreign country.

A few days later returned everything (except the cash) to us for free... as someone had attempted to sell him stuff, due to his connections. As he noted, "I didn't pay a thing." O.o

He offered to "teach them a lesson" - not killing them, of course, as "I don't do that anymore" but, "rearrange their face a little". We... we refused, kind of terrified.

(It was a long road, helping him learn. Totally worth it, I think.)

Personally, the fact that he subsequently became a pastor in a foreign country is the coolest thing.

EDIT: TOZ got it right in the other thread. :)

EDIT 2: Point of clarification.

Yeah, it was like that for us, too.

My parents really tried to shield me, but before tending to lots of earwax, my hearing was actually really good, soooooooo...

EDIT: (Also, I spoke Lithuanian better than they did, so they didn't have any "secret" language to fall back on. Not anymore - I'm down to just a few phrases -, but at the time I was pretty rockin'. And then, of course, I finally asked them until they sat down and talked with me. They also asked me never to talk about this, or hang out with the man - pretty sensible parent stuff, actually, no matter who the guy became, at the time he was an "ex"-assassin to our knowledge - to which I agreed. The thing that convinced us to help him get out was when he showed up for a church meeting after his face had been rearranged a bit. Apparently, my dad had some "underground" contacts he'd developed from his first couple of trips there, before the fall of the iron curtain. Who knew, right? He also had some government contacts due to being the pastor of the then-president's heart surgeon. A pretty amazing story, all-told, and we only touched the outer parts of it. I've not seen him since, but the guy's apparently reformed a couple of others who were in the same kind of life he used to be in... subsequently sending them off to other countries to be pastors.)

Iconic for Louis finished. Finally. I should complete it ages ago...

Now I need a new project to work on. Or I might go back to writing thingies for Wayfinder. Or play something. Like finish Pillars Of Eternity. Of course getting a new project would mean I could get some extra money on my PayPal and be able to buy XCOM. I played demo today and it's nice. I will probably get UFO's from the middle of 2000s earlier than the new one, though. They are available for $6 at GOG and the new XCOM costs 20 euro on Steam...

XCOM is AWESOME!!! Get XCOM - Enemy Unknown and Enenemy Within. ~thinks and grumbles~ Now I want to replay it. Again.

Enemy Within is another 25 euro... You need a class or monster designed? Or better two dozens? :P


Hey, don't shoot me. I am just the messenger. Having said that, after playing XCOM for over 6 months, I picked up the XCOM expansion the day it was released. And I was NOT dissapointed with my purchase.


I thought about what I said earlier. I still stnad by getting the expansion to XCOM. Having said that, I would highly suggest doing at least a few playthroughs of XCOM - Enemy Unkown before playing Enemy Within.


I'll get it. One day. Also, might pick different venue over Steam. While I would prefer digital download, Steam pricing screws Poland. It seems that we can't pay in dollars like any sensible person, only in euro... Also my PayPal, which supports dollars and zloty will rip me on dollar/euro conversion rate.

And thanks for all the commiserations.

And as an occasionally outspoken atheist, I feel I should make it clear that, yes, that definitely includes the ones with prayers in it.

My first post was Jan 31st, 2010 discussing using gamestop used game model for FLGS.

One month later, on March 1st, I made my first post in a FAWTL thread.

And that has made all the difference.*

Thank you, Mr. Frost for that phrase.

Wow. Lot of old nostalgic names there. I joined sometime early 2005, just to renew my dragon mag sub. I didn't start pisting (under my first alias) until mid 2007 after the announcement of dragon and dungeons termination (at least in dead tree)

As L. Longears, July 2012; in a PbP, Oct 2011.

Easter bank holiday this w/end. Have an eekstah ehg to eat, but I'm saving it. Spent the morning gardening, then went for a walk in the afternoon, along the canal, past the chemical works, the injection moulding place and the sewage farm, then through the woods, where someone's made a little shrine to their evening's entertainment consisting of burnt-out aerosol cans and broken alcopops bottles on sticks with a bunch of flowers (pinched from a nearby cemetery) in the middle. They'd also hung some Christmas baubles on the bushes.

Home, exercise, wrote & recorded song, dinner, beer.
