Just a quick update
 
The firewall at work decided to block Intel Forums (BLast them. BLast them all with a PPB). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

And here at home the Forums look really weird (I have to discover which of my 849 fonts is doing this and get rid of it, easier said than done). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I'll be back here as soon as I can, but it could be a while.

...Taz notices that Narf has hypnotized himself. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Taking quick advantage of the situation, Taz whispers in Narf's ear:

You are NOT a mouse - you are a GIANT PANDA!

Taz then lays a few stalks of bamboo at narf's feet and leaves... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif So that's what that skin irritation is - I thought it was something serious; like mange! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Taz spins in place for a few moments; then carefully plucks the demented rodent off himself and places it on the ground. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

He then has the immense enjoyment of watching as the mouse staggers around and falls repeatedly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

the intense dizziness shakes up Narf's mind and shakes loose his delusion. he remember's something...

he can grow!

within seconds he is eight feet tall. with hammers.

*WHAM*

*WHAM**WHAM**WHAM**WHAM**WHAM**WHAM**WHAM**WHAM*

whack-a-Taz!

...Taz grins as Narf shows him what he can do with his hammers... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Taz know game with hammers too! It's called the "Hammer Throw"... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

(Unfortunately, in his haste to demonstrate it, Taz forgets to have Narf let loose of the hammer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif )

Grabbing the hammer, Taz begins to spin...

Faster and faster Taz spins until suddenly at about 15,000 RPM he lets loose of the hammer.
Only then does Taz realize that Narf is still attached to it...

Taz watches as the hammer (& Narf attachment) zooms away...

'Watch out for that tree!' Crack!!! Now only HALF a tree...

'And the Barn' Crunch! Crunch! Oh well, perhaps that barn needed more ventilation anyway...

'Also that Electrical Tower' ZAP!! Sparks fly as the half the support is sheared away...

Taz watches anxiously as hammer (& Narf) continues the journey to a distant mountain peak.

With a solid Clunk/Splat sound the missile impacts the solid granite cliff face. The Last Taz sees of Narf is Narf bouncing down the mountain side...

Darn! and Taz was having so much fun too!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

a few minutes later, Narf sits up.

He shakes his head experimently. still attached.

shaking each limb in turn, he determines that their all attached.

Narf calmly pulls a wheel of cheese out of his pocket and begins eating it.

...

finishing his cheese, he gets up and charges down the mountainside towards Taz. once he gets on level ground, he attains a velocity of mach 4, simply ignoring any trees in his path. Taz watches in google-eyed suprise as a wave of trees soars into the air. as he runs by Taz, Narf hits him two-handed, sending Taz flying through several trees, two military bunkers, five tanks and into the top of a mountain. afterward, the top of the mountain doesn't look so good, but then, neither does Taz.

CHEESE-BOOST! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Just a quick update
 
... Coughing sounds are heard coming from deep in the mountainside as Taz makes his way back up a Taz-shaped tunnel. With a final 'cough' Taz staggers back into the sunshine and slowly a wide grin breaks out on his massive face... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

'At Last, a playmate that doesn't break AND likes to play rough!' thinks Taz as he get his bearings. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

Taz dusts himself off and picks a piece of dented Tank Armor from between his teeth!
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Taz doesn't remember eating a tank...
With a shrug, Taz tosses the armor into the nearby bushes and charges straight down the mountain for Narf.

Unfortunately for the local terrain this means through whatever is between - so a second line of destruction is created parallel to the first.

Again the Military Base is harshly treated and another bunker, six Tanks and the Officers Mess is demolished. (Taz was getting slightly hungry & the mess hall was on the way...)

As Taz draws near Narf, he smiles and prepares to suggest a new game - While Narf takes another bite of cheese and waits for whatever happens next...

To the surprise of both, the local armed forces recovered quickly and surround them.

Armed aircraft arrive and circle overhead while heavily armed men and machines backed by artillery encircle the area. War Satellites and even a mobile Weapons Platform is directed to the area.

A loudspeaker blares: 'Ok Monsters, surrender or we will let you have it!' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

If anything, Taz's grin just gets wider. To his somewhat skewed outlook this just means more fun ahead!

Taz turns and looks at Narf to see what his reaction is...

*Narf thinks - cartoon physics*

*Narf grins*

*Narf begins playing a game. whack-a-tank. if he hits them hard enough, they even bounce back out of the holes and he can hit them again. wee!*
