I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. What Video Game Character Are You?

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

I, Dave O, am:

(this may take some editing to make it look right)

I am Mr Do.

I am sedentary by nature, enjoying passive entertainment, eating when the mood takes me, and playing with my food. I try to avoid conflict, but when I'm angered, I can be a devil - if you force me to fight, I will crush you. With apples. What Video Game Character Are You?

Gosh. I didn't realize that I was so passive/agressive!

by steffi28

I'll not anger you then, the idea of being crushed with apples isn't one that appeals to me :)

by daveo2000

If I decide to eat the flesh of the living instead of fruit I can become: (drum roll)

I am a Defender-ship.

I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You?

by deadly ernest

as I'm a militant pacificst - that is I try to avoid a fight, but when pushed into a corner I come out swinging with intent to kill and quick. So don't even step near me, let alone on me.

by daveo2000

I seem to remember it saying that Mr Do hits people with Apples. It that because they are better built than PCs? ;)

by svpaladin

Mr Do is a clone / rip off of Dig Dug (or it went the other way around, I don't exactly recall who came first...)

Both games have you digging through material, with an inflation-gun and the ability to drop stuff on the baddies.

Dig Dug was all earth-toney with rocks etc., while Mr Do was all pastel with fruits etc.

Then I would be...

I am a Light Cycle.

I drive fast, I turn fast, I do everything fast. I even breakfast. I tend to confuse people with my sudden changes of heart. Sometimes I even confuse myself, which tends to cause problems. What Video Game Character Are You?

Not sure which one I prefer, someone always looking for trouble, or someone who confuses everyone even myself :(

by jmgarvin

I am a Thrust-ship.

I am small and tricky - where you think I am, I probably am not. I can work very fast, but I tend to go about things in a round about way, which often leaves me effectively standing still. I hate rocks. Bloody rocks.

by hal 9000

Every one of the Baddies was modelled on me! :p

Prior to 1985 I had a constant stream of programmers who wrote games come in and observe me at work so they could decide what habits of mine to incorporate into their games. :D

After Video Cameras became cheap enough for the masses they just Video Taped me for a week and took the highlights. I'm still being paid Royalties for that tape. :^0

I actually lost 25 apprentices one day when I stuck them in the bottom of a lift shaft and parked the lift as low as it would go. I never saw them again and to this day I'm not sure what happened to them as they where way too big to be picked up by the pump that we used to pump the water out of the building with as we cleaned up after the floods. ?:|

I only had at least 6 feet of water over the lowest floor and we where sucking the waste water out from the lift shafts. I'll never fully understand what happened to them or how they got out but unless you've taken to a Main Frame Floor with a Fire Hose to clean it out with all the hardware in place you'll never understand the joy involved in hosing out the area. We started several floors up and worked out way down to the Main Frame room and the place where I left the apprentices. :D

When I raised the lift up to get the apprentices out as they where in there to stop the water pumps from getting clogged they had all disappeared and not one has been seen to this day. :(

Anyway how's my favourite [b]Beat Up Pu$$y Today?[/b]

Col ]:)

by steffi28

Sounds like they disintigrated you sure it was only water and not a form of acid? You evil man you!!

And your Pu$$ys doing just fine :D

by hal 9000

It was very muddy as is to be expected when you get 40 feet + of water flowing through a City. At one place we found some aircraft wings sealed up in their packing crates and no one came to claim them. :(

We couldn't throw them out either as if we moved them we could have been charged with Looting as if anyone needs to steal some Boeing wings. :D

Not sure where they came from or what eventually happened to them but I'm supposing that an insurance Company paid for them and some new ones where bought. We just moved them out of the thick mud and cleaned up the place. I'm really not sure how the little Sod's got out as that was the only lift in that part of the building and it was enclosed and freshly greased to prevent rust by the makers of the lift. A perfect place to place some apprentices for the less that clean work. :^0

OH BTW do you know how to perform a Screen Capture and send the job to the Printer Properly yet? That Video Clip was the way not to perform that action. :p

Incidentally any news when the bandages and other devices are coming off the [b]Pu$$y?[/b] ]:)

Col

by steffi28

I know how to print tut tut, I would never behave in that manner!! I'd be too P!ssed off to try to scan the monitor that I'd probably just throw it out the window!!

And the beat up pu$$y get its bandages of tommorrow in time for the Yuk so I'll have to change my av before then I suppose!

by jaqui

I'm either a PacMan Ghost or Pac Man himself.
either socialising with friends and chasing others away, or eating everything in sight.

both work.

by deadly ernest

never a Macintosh. I'd never heard of this character before this thing and wonder where he came from and went to. Does sound awfully Japanesey though.

He11, I don't remember this game!! Does anybody?

by steffi28

I dont know many of these apart from the infamous ones like Mario and Pacman, as I was born in 85! Now trust me to start a thread where the answers to it most of the time mean absolutely nothing to me!! :p

by daveo2000

So, you were born in '85. And Col [i]is[/i] 85. ;) Most of us will probably not remember most of these even though we were alive (conscious is another topic) at that time. I think this guy went diving really deep to come up with these.

(edited for formatting screw up)

by faradhi

I used to spend hours (and weeks of allowance) playing this game.

I Loved it. I was a Gauntlet Adventurer as well.

Wizard needs food...

Classic - you can downlaod it on XBox Live for the 360...

I am Tron.

I like to ride motorcycles, throw frisbees, squish spiders, and dress in flashy colors. :-)

by smilingsheep

I dig through my domain trying to rid it of dragons and bloated things wearing goggles, and I have to inflate [their egos] until they explode and allow me to pass. Occasionally, I get to drop a rock on them, and avoid being crushed myself in the process.

by hal 9000

Where would you like me to send the Videos?

I could PM them to your work but they are quite likely to get you into trouble so if you would like to PM me with a different e-mail address I'll send them there for you. :p

Of course you realise that I only have these for [b]Educational Purposes[/b] as I have a daughter who is slightly older than the 12 years of age that Shelly has worked out that you are. :D

Granted they are a bit old now as my daughter is 31 this year and maybe slightly too old for you at your present age but I'll send them none the less. :^0

Not only do you want to Defrock Steffi but you want to deflower her as well and keep her all to your wicked self.

[b]BAD BAD BAD Little Boy![/b] Besides I'm not 85 yet I only feel that way when working with M$ Junk. I not actually old enough to join a Motorcycle Club as a [b]Junior Member[/b]so I'll just have to go speeding by myself when I find the time and have the inclination to burn some fuel in the Ducati. :D

The last set of tyres didn't even last 3,000 KMS and I wore both out together I must be getting old as I used to go through 2 rear tyres for every front one now I'm wearing them out together. :(

by daveo2000

I have fond memories of the 60's so my spring chicken has seen a few springs.

I never had anything that nice with 2 wheels but I did wear out a few tires on an almost-G.T.O. It was more of a Bui-Chev-mobil-iac. It seems that many G.M. parts could be put together and work nicely! It is also interesting how quickly metallic brake pads will go through rotors! (But sure did stop nicely!)

by hal 9000

In Brake Material and what the different materials used to make Brake Pads should be used with/

In many cases Stinted Bronze Pads are used with Iron Rotors when they where designed for Stainless Steel Rotors and they do wear out the Iron Rotors quite quickly because they where never designed for the Iron Rotors but to displace water off the Stainless ones so you could stop reliably with the Stainless Steel ones fitted.

Prior to stinted Bronze Pads being developed people who had Stainless Steel Disk Rotors [i]Read that as Japanese Motor Cycle Riders[/i] could apply a lot of front brake and nothing happened as a fine film of water was allowed to remain between the Pads and Rotor. Not very good for stopping in an emergency in the wet but at least the rotors never rusted like the Iron ones would and look grotty. :D

In those cases looks are far more important that usefulness as after you park your bike in the side of a car and kill yourself the bike remains still look good and nothing is rusting because you could stop long before you ever came near the object that you hit. :^0

I lost count of the number of times that I was told that there was something wrong with my every day rider an 860 GTS because when I parked it in a light rain the Disc Rotors would begin to rust and because it didn't look right there must have been something wrong with the bike as none of the others in the parking lot did that. The fact that they also didn't stop or even slow down in the wet was immaterial that's just how they performed in those days. Now Days it's the Disk Pads that rust and allow the Stainless Steel Rotors to keep looking nice and new.

That all of Pu$$y wounds have healed properly if they haven't you could be stuck with that Avatar for a very long time. :D

Well I suppose that it's time for another instructional Video right?

I know exactly what Dave has on his mind and it's not love but lust and you are falling for it. :^0 :D :^0 :D

I didn't know that you where so easy Steffi I though you had far more common sense than falling for a few supporting lines when others are less than perfectly nice to you. Didn't you ever listen to what your mother used to tell you about [b]Greeks Bearing Roses? And Men only want 1 thing![/b]

Dave is after something and I'm betting that it's your [b]Purity[/b] in the truest sense of the word. :D

Col ]:)

by steffi28

Which purity would that be that he wants?? Do you have any demonstrative videos about that?? I think I need to see them to help me realise what you mean

Ahhh I need the halo!!! :p

My PM address isnt a work email so send away, I also have absolutely no idea why they would be bad, but i'll take your advice and view them at home ;)

What 2007 M$ Office Product are you? Not nearly as fun as being a game charachter but hey! Im Word, how boring is that lol

You are Word 2007!
It would be tough to find a book, poem, document or report that you haven't read. You love the spoken and written word, and you thrive on information. You are known for being verbose, but eloquent. Among the four 2007 Office applications, you possess the most chutzpah, particularly because you know what "chutzpah" means and have added it to your own Office dictionary. Your vocabulary is constantly growing; even the latest buzz words won't slow down your spell-checker. Secretly you may admit that you miss having Clippy looking over your shoulder. With the new Microsoft Office Word 2007, you can spend more time doing your favorite thing - writing - and less time formatting. You have always been effective at communicating and collaborating, and now you'll find it more efficient and enjoyable than ever. Your favorite new feature in Office 2007 may well be the new blogging tool in Word 2007.

And I was so hoping to be something fun like Powerpoint!

Oh well...

You are the wordsmith, your posts are always thoughtful and well structured.

I think it fits.

Being compared to a second rate defective M$ product. And M$ orifice at that. X-(

When I first started this business I had Word Perfect on my computer and M$ Orifice on the staff computers and they all laughed at me and said nasty things now after using Word Perfect they refuse to use M$ Orifice and complain the the [b]International Committee on Human Rights[/b] when forced to use M$ Orifice as it's [b]Cruel and Inhumane Punishment.[/b] The fact that it's so shoddy doesn't help that much either. :p

Incidentally they have missed a few core applications available for Orifice the most Important one one id the [b]Accounting Package[/b] that is available for Orifice which for some reason doesn't work with Vista. Trust M$ to write a new OS and Office application and then have add ons that don't work with the new OS because Vista doesn't support SQL 2005 :^0

You are Excel 2007!

You can analyze the impressive productivity and efficiency gains in Excel 2007 and prove that the benefits justify the costs. Your favorite new feature in Office 2007 is likely to be the charting feature in Excel 2007.

Never heard of it. The games I loved back then were Space Duel, Asteroids, Gravitar and later Ikari Warriors. They had Asteroids but not the ship. I always saw myself as the ship!
