Re: Just a quick update
 
Taz's faces lights up (as it nearly always does when destruction is imminent) and he starts to make and release minature cyclones. If you step out of them just right, they will continue on by themselves.

As Taz steps out of his 5th such whirlwind he notices that the airplanes and satellites have opened fire and are raining PPB beams down...

Hmmmm, Cartoon Physics...

Moving quickly, Taz gathers and shapes some of the local forest giants into 30 foot long spears.
He then spins rapidly in place and launches these into orbit. Passage through the atmosphere fire-hardens the missiles and one by one the Satellites are skewered and destroyed.

The wind and sonic booms caused by this also knocks down the local aircraft...

*Narf thinks for a moment. he can't be outdone by a spin-top!*

*Narf grabs a tree. seeing as a tree is the smallest unit a tree can be and still be a tree, he paints 'atom' on the tree. then, he sets it upright*

*making a little jump, he swings his hammer at the top of the tree and smashes his 'atom' all the way to the ground.*

...

Narf picks himself out of the mountain (for about five minutes), pulls a tank out of his ear and looks around.

Narf's 'atomic tree' bLast catches Taz unaware and accelerates his already rapid spin exponentially.

5,000 RPM...

50,000 RPM...

500,000 RPM...

At 999,999 RPM the ACME Spin-o-meter needle hits it's stop and wraps 3 1/2 times around it!

The universe may never know what spin rate was actually reached, but Taz DOES know its result - a tunnel was drilled straight down almost to the Magma layer below! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Taz instinctively realizes his danger and starts to climb FAST!

However Taz finds that he is being outpaced by the erupting magma and releases, Umm, certain pent-up Taz gasses.

The Magma ignites these gasses and Taz finds that climbing is no longer necessary - HE IS NOW ROCKET POWERED. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Exiting the soon-to-be volcano, Taz angles his body, and using the Last of the gas manages to make a fiery landing on the mountain beside Narf.

Aside from a few brush-burns, a slight atomic sheen to his fur, and a small burned off patch of hair in, let us say, his nether region; Taz
is satisfied he is A OK.

Which is more than can be said about the countryside below:

Where a newly raging volcano sits near the exact center of a nuclear bLast crater. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

'Narf old buddy. What say we find a new place to play. We kinda used up this place!!' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Just a quick update
 
Yeah, um, getting back to the original topic, I messed with the configurations here at home and the Forums are now readable. They still look odd, but readable.

So now I have some catching up to do (I stopped reading on the 6th !), see you all later.

Taz also welcomes Erax back and, motioning Narf to join in, begins chanting: * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * MORE * STORY * ...
