akronnick:
Is it wrong that I heard that in GLaDOS's voice?
Tergon:
I could totally see the Lemmings' puzzle maps as parts of the Enrichment center. Of course this is before they developed the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, and GLaDOS started running individual trials rather than group ones.

No need to thank me. :P Alternatively, if it eats up all your free time (and it will) that's not my fault.

Thanks for the link. I so miss the cheerful toe-tapping tunes of the DOS version an obviously cracked copy I got from a friend who got it from .... This is similar to the windows versionat which point I decided to still my conscience by buying a legal copy, but missing the live action replay -feature, which is for cheats and other crooks, but ever so useful, when I cannot afford to mess up my sleeping schedule (or prolong the coffee break unduly).

--- Quote from: Skewbrow on 06 May 2011, 15:43 ---@MoM: Sorry 'bout going a bit off-topic here. Just remembered, where I had seen 'Madness' & 'Method' in the same sentence. The title of one of the trickier levels of Lemmings (anyone else here spent days trying to save them little critters?) was 'There's madness in the method'. IIRC I had to ask a friend for a hint with that one.

Man, I haven't played Lemmings in years. But nope, not where I got it from. (Its origin is in my sig, btw)

That's what I thought. Since I didn't recall a historical Roman orator by that name I had to google it. I'm afraid references to the works of the Bard fly over my head most of the time. Can't help it. A consequence of not getting your basic education in English, I suppose.
Carl-E:
See? We're educational!
And clearly I'm getting one - never heard of this lemmings game before...

Oddities corner: I have a CD of Sibelius's music for organ. Possibly the most interesting thing on it is a piece that he admitted uses material taken from his eighth symphony, which he destroyed. Buying the CD meant finding the web site of an obscure Finnish recording company and then navigating the site and shop entirely in Finnish...

LOL. Sounds like the experience didn't ruin your credit rating, though.
An oddity, indeed. Sibelius hasn't composed much for organ. Symphonic poems and piano for me. One of my favorite Sibelius CDs has Barbirolli conducting Hallé orchestra.
