I'm usually lurking around in the more entertainment or non calc focused areas, but OmniRPG has gotten me on a rare posting spree :P

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

I will lurk in casio/comp areas and occasionally comment outside. I haven't done much lately though. I need to find some project to get to work on.
I currently don't do much, but I am a developer for a game you should totally try out called AssaultCube Reloaded download here https://assaultcuber.codeplex.com/

what is lowercase activity? activity without hitting the shift key?

Lower activity as in not as much activity. A smaller amount :P Not lowercase
dang, how did i read lowercase, can somebody please tell me that?
Idk, but lowercase activity would be annoying if abused. It would basically mean that for a period of time, every single member on the forums stops starting sentences with caps letters and probably stopping using punctuation entirely. :P

Also the Portal Slashdot-esque effect (idk how to call it when multiple non-Slashdot blogs are involved) is now over so it will be interesting to compare with every previous instance where Omni got featured in such large sites. I think we have a record here lol (next would be nDoom which lasted a few days (and twice) but the amount of guests online never came close to what we had). Plus the game downloads were crazy. Hopefully it remains popular in long terms with people spreading the word about it. Some calc games get lots of attention on ticalc.org when released, but as soon as they get off front page news, they're quickly forgotten unless their title has "Mario", "Zelda" or "Pokémon" in them. Eg Alien Breed 5 already gets less than 15 downloads a week there now. D:

So my Pokemon Topaze will be lucky when I upload it to ticalc ? :P

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Pokémon Topaze isn't on ticalc.org? O.O

Wasn't it finished a long while ago? ??? I think it should definitively go to ticalc.org (and maybe Omni archives) if that is the case.

Also yeah every single of my calc vids that are not RPGs, along with Illusiat 11 KMQ in Omni downloads, got a sudden increase in views/traffic. I think about 4 of my calc vids now average at 100+ views a day, and my song called Influence from Beyond the Sky (featured on my Youtube channel front page) and Ancient Kingdom of Omnimaga (inside all my vids) got a lot of views as well. I think it was the first time in a while that any of my songs get in my top 10 viewed vids :P

Activity-wise you can really see the increase in the past few days at the end of this graph now (updated real-time). The two big "mountains" before are Oct-Nov 2010 then March 2011, then later you have a 3nd one on Oct 2011. The lowest part near the end is July-Sept 2012, before it actually started to increase again. On top of that it's with the spam section closed since July 8th, else June 2012 would probably be identical to July:

It depends on your definition of "finished" :P
It is fully playable but it still needs a real item engine.
The reason why I didn't upload it to ticalc is that it requires an account, and an account requires my real name -.-°
If it didn't ask for my real name, I would make an account and upload it but eh :P

Yeah, that's what people tell me when I say why I don't have an account. But see, if BuilderBoy put a fake name, what would the Portal interview look like ? "Hello all, Donald Duck just made Portal". That doesn't look as serious as with "Alex Marcolina" (not saying that I think I will get featured but why not hope ? :P)
