Ha, there's no Swedish word for 'plus'. (Or maybe it's Danish, I don't know)

My surname name is of Swedish origin though - Seffen. Probably why I always have a certian urge to listen to some ABBA in a sauna.

Steffan is a Welsh name, probaly spelt incorrectly in your case by some drunken Irish forefathers. But the Swedish can have you if they want to.

The names Steffan and Seffen aren't necessarily linked though. Geffen is only one letter out, but isn't necessarily linked. Seffen is quite a rare name. What does Steffan mean in Welsh.

Я не понимаю!!

 

Это уже наши с тобой проблемы. Я тоже не понимаю.

Too late to save us but try to understand

The seas were empty -- there was hunger in the land

We let the madmen write the golden rules

We were just Children of the Moon

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world

Children, Children of the Moon watch the world go by

Children, Children of the Moon are hiding from the Sun and the Sky

I wanted to say the same, but you beat me to it. :)

I imagine your reaction if you understood what that meant. That was a test actually. If you really understood Russian, there would have been some angry posts from you. Want a translation?

N: I do not understand!!

 

F: It already ours with you of a problem. I too do not understand.

 

S: I wanted to say the same, but you beat me to it. :)

 

F: Also what I have told?

 

S: GOTCHA! :D

 

F: Придурок hawk... (I'm guessing that's sparrow hawk)

 

S: I don't understand a single word, but the font sure looks nice. :)

Me: Ich spreche nicht Russe, leider.

 

Me: Вы можете сказать мне путь к туалету? Русский выглядит сверхъестественным, но грустно, что я не знаю это.

Careful there, I'm armed with imtranslator, which translates a lot. Ich spreche nicht Russe, leider = I do not speak Russian, unfortunately.

 

Translating your Russian message - "Can you show me the way to the toilet? Russian looks unreal, but it is sad that I don't know this." Yeah... Where did you get that from? Some stupid Russian grammar book?

 

When you translated that, you were wrong at one place. "Придурок ястребиный" does not equal "sparrow hawk". It mean (forgive me, sparhawk), "the hawk-like fool". Or, придурок can mean anything from idiot to dumbhead. Again, I only wrote to test sparhawk's knowledge of Russian. That message didn't mean that I wanted to say that sparhawk is an idiot. Besides, no one in their right mind will say something like that about a programmer...

I use freetranslation.com, though that is more useful for English-speakers. Your site seems more versatile, assuming it translates well.

 

I wouldn't insult someone in another (somewhat popular) language and expect to get away with it. No, no, I'd do that by way of a private message. ;)

"Can you tell me the way to the toilet? Russian looks weird, it is sad I do not understand it." I'll take your word for it, since I'm sure read and write Russian better than some program.

 

I had a Russian controls professor. He was pretty funny, though sometimes seemed insane. His thick accent was a problem, at times. I don't know why I'm telling you this.

That word must not be used enough to be included in some free online translator. The lurker in me had to make an assumption.

 

I know a few programmers who are idiots. Not in all things, but idiots nonetheless. Maybe you were sarcastic.

Programmers are almost genuses! My dad is one!

 

I'm NOT sarcastic...

 

But do you think I should remove that before sparhawk sees it?

You think too highly of your ability to insult. And you use enough disclaimers to disarm any verbal knives. Sparhawk shouldn't care about your careful insults. ;)

 

Your dad may be a genius, but idiots walk among us in many forms and vocations. Though, I've been known to be harsh...

Can you reverb your first paragraph please?

 

I didn't say my dad is a genius, he's a programmer, it just very hard to catch him on a question he cannot answer as long as it is somehow related to economy, physics, numbers, computers, biology, even history, programming, of course... Well, it's hard enough to find a question he doesn't know about at all if it is not too detailed.

 

If a programmer is an idiot - he's probably not a real programmer. He's just making an ipression he is.

Why? :P It's perfect the way it is. I was saying that you were being more innocuous than you thought you were.

Sounds like a bright guy.

I'm saying some programmers I've met are idiots. The job one has doesn't necessarily detail how smart one is as well as we'd like. *shrug* We're all ignorant in our own way, I suppose.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
