Another Giant xkcd Comics Experiment (xkcd.com)
Dave Knott writes: XKCD creator Randall Munroe has decided to celebrate the release of his new book, Thing Explainer, by creating a "small game" called Hoverboard. In actuality, it is a gigantic scrolling comic in the same style as his previous Click And Drag. However, this time there is a game element as one navigates the comic. Explore giant starships and volcanoes, or search for hidden lairs, all in the name of finding as many hidden gold coins as possible.

SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
... the game becomes "unwinnable" because there are certain places you should be able to pass through (like the dialog texts), but Safari turns them into hard surfaces, making it impossible to reach some coins. The problem is that the game gives no previous warning and seems to work ok... until it becomes an exercise in frustration. Firefox works perfectly, other browsers should work ok too.
If I clone myself, can I call it a thread?
If a girl winks to us, can I call it a race condition?
Is there no limit to his creativity? We need more creative people like him in the industry. I am most impressed.
I got 145, but I have no doubt I missed some.
I wish that my inferiority complex were as good as yours.

A utilitarian proportion.
if (L == 0) {
A = "you successfully avoided all the coins!"
} else if (L == 1) {
A = "it's a start."
} else if (L 5) {
A = "not bad!"
} else if (L 10) {
A = "terrific!"
} else if (L == 17) {
A = "you found all the coins! great job!"
} else if (L == 42) {
A = "no answers here."
} else if (L == t.length) {
A = "are you gandalf?"
}

Everytime I start seeing comments on the internet that XKCD just isn't want it used to be, along comes a mega comic like this one. Though I'm still hoping for the reappearance of the red spiders.

The funny thing is that there are people charging $5-10 for games that are worse than this on Steam.
Reminds me of one of my favorite freeware games, Seiklus.

Here's a very simple script (all you need is wget and imagemagick) to download portions of this and composite them together into a single large image. Just play with the X_MIN/X_MAX, and Y_MIN/Y_MAX variables.

Hypocrite later admits it - hosts needs it vs. WFP/SFP not my ware. Users set it not programmatic impersonation. Security wares need it.
