Yes, Boro, you spotted the random Monty Python I threw in.

As far as #12 goes, you spotted a lot of the stuff I included that reflected the behavior of the villagers, but you left out a certain recurring theme that I thought was particularly funny.

Besides that, the only thing that's left is #5 I believe. I figured Fea would've snagged it by now.

Ah, that was it. Not Hitchhiker's Guide. Still, I busted a gut.

I get all those English comedies confused.

Well, I can remember several comments along the lines of "You know... when I decide to go missing for several days, I tell people so that they aren't left wondering."

I also remember generally knowing what you're up to before other people do. So there. Perhaps that?

the phantom · 10-29-2005, 04:25 PM

Fea got another one.

Anguirel · 10-30-2005, 02:02 PM

Can we expect your commentary soon, phantom?

the phantom · 10-30-2005, 03:50 PM

Depends on what your definition of soon is.

(I'm very busy today, Monday too, maybe Tuesday, but I've got time on Wednesday for sure to get it done)

littlemanpoet · 10-30-2005, 08:32 PM

How many of you guys caught all this fun stuff at the time but, like me, had a hard time or no time to go looking? (thanks, tp, for providing the posts in that handy post of yours, by the way)

Not all but a good amount of it.

***Mister Underhill*** · 10-31-2005, 12:00 AM

Me too. Except for the few insider references to past games, I got most of it. Nice work, phantom.

I knew I was in for a good time when the "unarmed midget" line had me laughing before the game had even begun.

I agree. It was a good line.

littlemanpoet · 11-01-2005, 02:27 PM

What's yours?

Mine was:

"You're all a bunch of knuckle heads!" he rasped, and after giving them all the bird, he slumped back to the floor, dead. - Boromir, as described by Master Phantom.

I agreed.

the guy who be short · 11-01-2005, 03:27 PM

I have to agree with you there, LMP. An abridged form of that paragraph appeared in my siggy briefly. My favourite death scene was undoubtably my own - the combined suicidal tendencies of Boromir and me were far too hilarious to stop myself rolling about upon the floor in laughter.

Can't argue with that! I liked it so well & it caught me so much by surprise that I had to rep it.

Lhunardawen · 11-02-2005, 02:12 AM

Have I been gone that long? Or does the Downs run on a different calendar?

Excellent word play on the micro Elf DNA, phantom. I was wondering the whole time what that meant. I thought it had something to do with me being a bio geek...

And a wonderful job to all involved in finding these eggs.

lmp, you still are scary.

And Eomer dear, what would you have done to prevent my death had you been alive? Give yourself up as a ransom to hostage-taking Formendacil?

Anguirel · 11-05-2005, 10:37 AM

Everyone-commentary is up!

Mostly it's just the narration...oh well...I don't suppose I was reasonable expecting essays explaining motivations for every sentence...

Interesting that he Dream Teamed us...

Now hold on just a minute- that expectation is perfectly reasonable. You see, the commentary is not complete. I'm still working on all those essays you want.

I'm hoping to be done with the commentary on the narrative by the time I go to bed tonight.

Tomorrow or the day after I'm hoping to complete my Day by Night thoughts.

the guy who be short · 11-05-2005, 11:25 AM

Ahem... where exactly is this commentary? I don't see a link in tp's siggy, so I'm lost.

Anguirel · 11-05-2005, 11:26 AM

Aha! Look more closely...

the guy who be short · 11-05-2005, 11:33 AM

Ah. One of those sneaky links.

Thank you, I guess.
