Very impressive list. That'll be the end of Horns on the board though. . . buh bye. . .

dervack · 02-28-2006, 06:48 PM

Man it's like shooting fish in a barrel over there. So many people with so much hope, I hope it doesn't disapoint them.

This thread has basically become a forum of it's own.

Antmeister...brilliant stuff man. You made perfect use of all the ridiculous shit we've put in there.

Oh man, a new Antmeister song!! Damn it, now I gotta wait another 7 hours until I get home from work to hear it

He made it impossible for success from the very beginning because he believed he alone could do something that no one else would ever attempt.

Hubris does not mean pride, at least in Greek. In my lexicon it is translated as "wantonness, wanton violence, insolence." Second definition is "lewdness." After that, there are some horse and legal usages. It may mean "pride" in English, but it never meant or implied that in Greek.

I posted quite a few pages ago, but it is insane. I have enjoyed this thread so much that it is simply unbelievable. To all the FOFC community congrats cuz the thread is worth more than the game itself.

Antmeister, your stuff was simply amazing.

Maybe this game wouldn't have gone south if the original gold master wasn't destroyed in a munitions fire at the Parthenon a thousand years ago.

EDIT: This is my first work using the GIMP 2. Damn, that was difficult. So many things that i could do so easily in photoshop created a hassle to do in the GIMP.

As a side note, I had a horrible dream last night and I woke up to Antmeister's captivating song. Our little girl said, "Daddy's horrible voice gave mommy a horrible nightmare".

Kids say the darndest things don't they? Heh, I'm messing with you Ant, it was freaking AWESOME!!

I just miss his wonderful posts

He's probably just looking for some info on the game, because you certainly can't get any answers over there.

mauchow · 02-28-2006, 08:10 PM

That song was amazing.. I'm going to request it on my local radio, hopefully they've got it already!

Man.. I stopped working at about 4:00... there has been a page and a half and 2,500 views since then... there must be f5 keys crying in pain across the world..

Pure Genius ant... and all of the graphics guys... the weird thing about this thread is it is really bringing out some creative talent on FOFC that I had no idea about... QS and JG limmericking... BG's photoshoping... CW's photoshopping.. more masterpieces from cuervo... i know others have done photoshopping that i missed... TZ's jokes over on MF...

It's great how we can come together as a community and create such a masterpiece.

I first heard it in reference to The Odyssey back in high school.

Hmmmm ... the dictionary says hubris comes from the Greek word for excessive pride or wanton violence. It also offers a slight variant spelling of hybris.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hubris

I find it difficult to belive that the word hubris in the English language would be used so extensively in conjunction with the ancient Greeks unless the word had origins in that language.

I know I'm very late to reply to this but just got to sit down in front of the PC at home and this was posted during my commute home.

Antmeister, you magnificent bastard! I just can't stop laughing, the logos coming down and then up, that was just great! Dear God, my side, it hurts

And then, I looked a couple posts down and there was the "LOADING GAEM" screenshot, woah, there I went again...

woah, laughing is great!

It does come from a Greek word, but the word NEVER meant pride in that language. That is a relatively recent mis-interpretation of Greek philosophy/theology, which I also remember hearing in high school. Not one classics scholar in ten would back that up, though. If you don't believe me, consult some Greek dictionaries. The one I have is from Oxford press.

I think "insolence" (from the definition you dug up, st. c) is likely the bridge between your perspectives -- the connotation of being disrespectful or arrogant isn't all that far of what we might now call "pride." I would suggest that might be a fair trace of the word history.

kcchief19 · 02-28-2006, 09:07 PM

Same here, FrogMan. I just got home and could listen.

It's officially over. Nothing can top that. The moment Casey Casem appeared on screen may be the single greatest moment in Internet history.

I think that makes sense. I was taught that hubris means suffering from excess pride which means something different than being proud.

Possibly. The most common usage in classical texts, though, is one meaning "violent."

also, bravo cuervo.
