BUTTERFACE BUTTERFACE BUTTERFACE

I have no idea how this started outside of a random suggestion in Dive Quest.

If that was inspired by anything or a reference to anything, I wouldn't know it.

BUT YOU'RE A BUTTERFACE BECAUSE I'M PUTTING BUTTER ON YOUR FACE

I thought going North (the one true direction) was Something Aweful Let's Play's preferred choice?

>>317258
Nope, going left is the one true way.

>>317250
My basis for suggesting it was purely because butter was mentioned.

>>317250
That was pretty much entirely started from one of Lawyer Dog's moments of inspiration. That's all it boils down to.

I would like to put some meme related to Dorf Quest in here, but there aren't any because no one can read something that freaking long.

>>317268
Letmeexplainthisagain.jpg, Xom, and... I know I'm missing some.

>>317269
Loot everything? TIMBERZERKER? anything a weapon?

Lawyer Dog?

LawyerDog is one of the IRCers

Part of the justification for always going left is that most game designers are right handed and have a natural tendency to put all the 'interesting' stuff on the Right side first (this even holds true in some video games of today, though they try to avoid it consciously.)

Hence if you want a nice safer adventure (though you may miss some loot) it is always safer to take the lefthand route. Unless of course your DM is lefthanded, but then you probably already know he's actually Satan so you're screwed anyway.

New guy here. Concerning IRC... What is it good for? There are always a bunch of people on #tgchan, but it's rather calm. Is it for discussing quests or something?

>>317278
#RubyQuest is where all the partying happens.
#tgchan is the kids' table.

>>317279
By this, this poster means #RubyQuest is very loud, off topic, and full of discussion 20 hours a day. Reaver and Weaver are found almost exclusively there, and things can get silly, stupid, and downright retarded. However, its also always active, as has been said.

#tgchan is typically more on topic, but as such, has less to say. It is the quieter of the two channels, but is significantly more relevant. Many users browse in both rooms.

>>317280
I see #tgchan as the dev channel. If I need help or discuss production or stuff, TGChan. If I wanna take part on the mass wild guesses and penis jokes, RQ.

>>317281
>>317280
>>317279

I see. And some authors use it to announce quest updates. Convenient...

#tgchan is the living room
#rubyquest is the party room, wh-wh-where the champagne flows as th-th-the bass gets harder

"Sanya's Tail Syndrome" refers to artist errors where parts of a character's appearance are left out of images by accident. It's called this because when Sanya Quest first started her tail was missing every other update or so. This is not a stranger to many other quests though, as Hatch's hair clip is also subject to Sanya's Tail Syndrome, as are Nezumi's freckles and Telwis's antennae.

>>317295
>Nezumi's freckles
whachu talkin bout? Nezumi has mood freckles. well known fact.

Um, her name is Nezu. Nezumi is an artist that draws really gross porn.

>>317299
Nezumi is also the name of the Ratling race. The one Nezu is.

>>317295
There is also "Lily Syndrome" and "Joan Syndrome," from Dorf Quest and Joan's Miserable Life, respectively.

Lily Syndrome is when a character keeps getting smaller as the series progresses. It was named after Dorf Quest's Lily, who started half as tall as Aldwin and ended up about 1/4th of his height a few chapters later. However, in her particular case, she got better, and ended up just short of half as tall as Aldwin at the end of the series. With most other characters, its because of artistic error - in Lily's case, she was meant to be tiny all along and he drew her too big initially.

"Joan Syndrome" is when a character's boobs keep changing in size over the course of a series, never staying consistent. In the case of Joan herself, they just keep getting bigger, occasionally shrinking a little when no one is paying attention so they can grow some more.

>>317300
Nezumi also simply means "rat" in Japanese.

Does the Orb of Infinite Psyche come from DiveQuest? I think it is, but I'm not too sure.

>>317319
It was first sighted in John Quest, the joke parallel to Ruby Quest.

>>317319
It was first in John Quest, where it was just a momentary sight gag. It didn't gain its current character until Dive Quest.

Anyone know when "punch X to assert dominance" first surfaced?

>>317322
Problem Sleuth, Microsoft Paint Adventures. Started out as a command for one of the characters, that got popularized over the course of the strip's run.

>>317322
>>317323
Also '[ACTION] in a more hard-boiled manner'.

>>317324
Generally only used as "fall" for the action, though every now and then a time comes around in which another action is suitable.

>>317322
In its original incarnation, it was "punch X in snout to assert dominance."

People keep forgetting snouts.

>>317323
"Quickly retrieve arms from X" also originates from here. (Originally "Quickly retrieve arms from safe.")

>>317343
Technically, it was originally "Quickly retrieve arms from pumpkin." It originated in Jail Break, before Problem Sleuth.

Problem Sleuth just made everything famous. Problem Sleuth also made "Ride X like a mechanical bull" famous.

What about "Pose as a team, because shit just got real"? Also Problem Sleuth?

>>317425
Yes. Exactly.

Where does the "round and soft and oh so inviting" comes from? The earliest I am seen is in MudyQuest, but it was used as an injoke there I believe.

>>317490
I always assumed it was just her thing.

>>317490
The "round and soft and oh so inviting" thing came from Mudy Quest, actually. Sometimes things aren't references at all, but something entirely new.

And then they become references.

Does anyone know whether posts fall off the edge of the board if they are not archived? Or do they end up in the graveyard?

*shrug* I think they go to the Graveyard...

Anyhow, I think I may have noticed a rather minor meme. Whenever things start going trippy someone ends up quoting from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Can't think of any instances of this so far, so if possible, could you provide some examples so we can identify them in the future?

>"Say, wanna hear about my figurines?" He picks up one of the models on the monitor. "They're from this game called Warhammer Fantasy Battle, made by these UK lads, what what! The guys down at Spot Check say they're working on a new game, set in the future--"

Do I even have to explain this one?

And then the Lovecraftian Apocalypse was forestalled by Traditional Games, as the hive mind ran out of money trying to buy and paint up Nids and Chaos at the same time.

ZOMBIE GOATS LEAVE THIS PLACE!

Yep, Full Life Consequences have been referenced in other quests as well, most notably Reaver(?)'s spin on Pokemon Quest.

I'm not sure, but I think Reaver's spin on Pokemonquest was referencing Weaver's Johnquest back on /tg/ which initially referenced Full-Life Consequences.

>>317589
If I recall correctly, there's a ridiculous limit on the amount of threads that the board can hold before they start getting pruned - 99 pages or somesuch. Dylan would know.

So it's not something to worry about for the time being.

Anyone privy to the knowledge as to where "I can see infinity" comes from? It is mentioned in gnomequest as a suggestion.

>>318148
I think it's a variant on "I can see forever!" but I have no idea what that's from.

Upon further googling, it seems that "I can see forever!" may originate from Call of Chthulu when one is being brain sucked through the eyeballs. Can anyone confirm this for me?

>>318165
I'm pretty sure "I can see forever" is from the movie Event Horizon, along with the phrase "Where we're going, we don't need eyes to see."

However, since I've not seen the movie yet, although I dearly want to, I cannot confirm.
