Just counted, Antediluvian has 6 drop-downs and 5 wind tunnels. Total: 11! And almost all of them drop you into a place with immediately-alerted monsters. Does this make it a masterpiece or the worst map of all time? (Strangely, no self-locking doors.) 

You could combine the drop-down and trapped-retreat-route to create a soft obstacle. Have a series of short drops, like little cliff face things, where you can jump back up each time, but you can't just walk back up like steps. That way it's slow to retreat and requires some concentration to pull off, but you maintain two-way flow through the level to return for ammo or health. Obviously this is much less effective if the enemies at the bottom are melee-based, as you can escape them in a single jump. 

It's good to see you commenting again.

It definitely needs some more work and restructuring! 

nice job! 

Needs sources and it should really be re-worded into an actual article. The wiki is supposed to be licensed GFDL as much as possible. Copypasting other people's posts is not "legal". 

beer becomes stale immediately.. 

Just playing Mass Effect for the first time. Gee, I haven't seen this much lack of detail on everything since 2004. Nice sunsets and colours, but I thought by 2008 we were beyond 4 brushes making up a corridor. And what's with the combat, the weapons are complete shit.

Halfway through so I'll post a review when I'm done. 

Flappy Bird Creator Dong Nguyen Speaks Out

Interesting read 

Indeed. Can't have been raking in that much though if he decided to shut something down that was netting $50k a day, just because he didn't like the negative emails. 

That wiould depend on how many days he netted 50K, and for how long the revenues will continue from the installed base he still has.

Oh, and 'that much' depends on what you are used to. For a po' boy from Hanoi, it is probably not much at all.

More power to his elbow. 

I think he made enough money that he didn't mind taking the game down to avoid more vitriol and drama. 

i really don't get it. someone showed it to me, i tapped once, hit the first pipe and died and gave his phone back thinking that was the stupidest thing i ever saw. 

It was just a learning exercise that went viral.

I deleted it after three or four goes. 

picked this up on a whim. not bad so far after a couple of hours. it's mainly about the combat and 4 man party system and is a bit thin on story and world exploration but I don't mind. Combat is what I'm doing for 95% of the game anyway, so it's good that it's interesting.
it's a bit slow in that you need to check the abilities of each and every new monster you face because some of them can be surprisingly dangerous if you're not ready for them. don't bother trying to play without pausing...
