Title: Its Been A While
Post by: spirit1flyer on November 22, 2008, 11:21:59 AM
I'm sure some of you remember me from a few years back,  I never really went anywhere.. just didn't really post. Got hooked on several other games for a bit.. but always remembered OPU.  Yea I was one of the lead members in supporting Xfir but all of that is ancient history now. (online anyway)  
So given my resent change I figured someone might like to know what I've been up to.
Mostly I was going to college spinning my wheels for a while.. and then I met a girl.  (always happens that way it seems)  My motivation to make money and care for this new wonder in my life doubled. So with that being said... I joined the Navy.  I ship out this January 28 to Illinois.  With any luck I will get through Basic training and the following A school and come out a Navy Corpman.  I'm guessing I might never end up showing around after that.. but it is always possible. (so don't delete my account please :P )  
Just figured someone might care.

Oh and check out this game.. its pretty fun: http://fantasticcontraption.com/ (http://fantasticcontraption.com/)

Great! When you find out why they call it "the head", let me know.  :P

Gah, I remember that game. Used to drive me insane. Don't think I ever got past the last level.

The last level (U-Turn) is easy. The second to last level (Unpossible) is the hard one.

The last level can be done with 4 pieces (http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=793933).

The simplest solution I found for Unpossible is this one (http://fantasticcontraption.com/?designId=357139), with a sort of bike riding up the slant, with a drawbridge, and a rope tied to the back to make it swing around when it passes the end of the ledge.
