Let just look at the time stamps.

Enter. Wait 5 seconds. Say hi. Wait 15 seconds. Tell everyone to fuck off for not saying anything. Wait 15 seconds. Leave.

Total actual time: 37 seconds.

If you expect to go into an irc channel and get a response in 37 seconds, you are a fucking moron. So many people who came in and asked for me missed out on talking to me because they couldn't wait a minute. I'm busy and a lot of people on IRC idle (that means we're not staring at the screen 24 hours a day).

What sort of ADD motherfucker do you have to be to expect engaging discussion in 37 seconds? I don't answer most of my IMs in 37 seconds!

This happens all the time and I'm tempted to ban people who do it just to make a point.

As a notice to any IRC users out there, the official chat has been moved to esper.net. Still #IWBTG. Feel free to drop in, things have been more active lately.

Download page has been updated to look like it was actually made this decade and not be an unreadable mass of links.

Also Gamejolt is the official mirror for IWBTG and all new games. FYI.

EDIT: DON'T DOWNRATE OTHER GAMES. THAT IS NOT VERY NICE. IF YOU SEE A GAME THAT IS UNFAIRLY HIGH (5 avg with 1 vote), PLAY IT AND RATE IT FAIRLY INSTEAD OF JUST THROWING 1S AT EVERYTHING. Come on, we're not youtube.

Okay I've been on gamejolt for a good long while - pretty much the 'entire existence of the site' (okay it's been like 6 months). They've been a good service? How do I know? I never hear from them and no one ever complains about trying to download from them.

A+ it works, good job kids.

It's so slick like that, that I forget it even exists. Well I got a message about Ad Revenue sharing and hey, I like money. So I check the site half a month later to check my profits.

10,000 impression, 1 dollar. Now, as far as I can tell, I am the top downloaded game on the site. In fact, I think I'm the top downloaded game by a lot. The highest download count I could find was something like 900.

I have 40 times that. If I'm making this much, what are other people making? Yeesh. ANYWAYS THATS NOT THE POINT.

I am not in the top 10. I have a 40x the downloads of the most downloaded games I can find and EVEN MORE (400x?) more then some of the top rated games. Why? I don't bug people to rate IWBTG.

But screw that, I am now.

So I ask all of you, who have played this game far more then is healthy, to try and get IWBTG into a rank it deserves. Of course theres all that 'signing up' nonsense, so I won't blame you if you don't, but I find it embarrassing that I'm not on the top ten.

Also just check out gamejolt in general. It's a great site and the guys there seem to bust their ass pretty hard.

SalamanderSSC made a fantastic tool for fixing saved games you screwed up by........ I dunno. Saving over a pit or something dumb? Way to go, guy. Well, now you aren't at the mercy of joining the forum and asking SilentLoner for a fix! Instead you can go to the download page and download I Wanna Be The Fix and do it your self!

I'm too lazy to tell you how to do it (I'm sure someone will make an embarrassingly simple guide), but at the very least it's easy to select your save file and snap the kid to the nearest save point.

And yes, you can use this to cheat. If thats REALLY what you want to do.

Basically, it's pretty straightforward. Quick example here:

I started a new game and saved at the first save. Open the program and find your save:




Now it'll look like this


And you edit whathever you want. In my case, I changed time, number of deaths, locations and bosses beaten.
If you change location remember to click Snap to Save.


And I end up here:


Or if you're just using it to fix a fucked save, just click Snap to Save and you're done. - dsk
