stoner trees?
my brothers friend was over a couple days ago and was watching me play keen4. i started slug village and he said,"whats up with the trees? it looks like they're stoned!" after taking a second look at them i realized that they DID look stoned!

Re: stoner trees?
Mabye the trees are normal and it's keen that's stoned, and he's going around the game 'stoning' other guys. I mean seriously... bouncing red thingies? Slugs that piss constantly, I dont know what Arachnuts are on, Yorps are constantly happy, Dopefish... no comment, Gargs... must be havin one of those weird food cravings... Vorticons (distortions of the neighbor's scary dog)... hm... mabye Billy needs to see a therapist.
Seriously though, the keen series does seem like a weird dream/ hallucination. I mean, the school bully trying to destroy the universe? It's every kid's worst nightmare. If you think about it, Commander Keen is like the lost hope of every kid who's ever been bullied! Or it could just be a drugged out hallucination. Either way it's a great game.

re: stoned
...while we're at it, let's not forget a certain overweight Brooklyn plumber who spends his time crawling through sewer pipes to stomp on turtles, all while scarfing down mushrooms and certain varieties of weed... heck only knows what a 'goomba' really is...
come on you guys, it's a game designed for children. the trees in the back of the Shadowlands are likely sleepy--what else would trees do all day? i always thought they looked like patient elders, not whacked out druggies. but to each their own...

You know, eating mushrooms you find in sewers isnt that healthy...
Now that I think about it, eating strange alien candy and pizza (especially the floating kind) isnt exactly healthy either. Bloog pizza anyone?
Not even they know what's in it.
Edit: what the heck is going on? I keep editing the emotikeens so that its three barfs in a row, but it keeps resetting to barf b arf barf. If an admin reads this, can you tell me what's going on?

hmmm hehheh
I used to daydream that the forests in Keen4 were haunted and if Keen wandered too close to them he'd get eaten by the trees.

No way
Wait, there's no way the trees could be stoned. Could you imagine anything made of wood wielding a lighter?

Re: No way
Its not necessary for a lighter to be involved, even with Marijuana. I heard somewhere about a procedure where they extract the chemicals and put them in an edible form. However, the chemical is much stronger then, and will probably cause you significant bodily harm. Drugs are bad!

Re: No way
Why dont we make a flash (or shockwave, since that's what I'm trained in) movie about how Gargfield the Garg says NO! to cheating.

Maybe because I don't know how to do stuff with those, my computer sucks totally and I don't have correct tools.

Every time I come across a topic like this, I can't help but post this link:

However, I have to agree with Xky. Don't take your games too seriously.

Re: stoner trees?
Keen is WAY more psychologically messed up than the mario bros! This was his self portrait in 2nd grade:
He drew this pic of his mom in 3rd grade:, and according to TMST, this is what he'll look like in a few years:
If we can't stop him pretty soon... no! it's too late!

Re: Mullio Bros.
A few years ago I was present at a stoner-party... I think I got a bit passively stoned--I remember passing out suddenly walking about the house in the middle of the night... anyway, the point of the story is: the next morning we somehow managed to get into this exact conversation--the fact that Mario Bros., when you really look at it, is basically about a bunch of junkies.
As the conversation went on, we suddenly had a brilliant idea for a game: Mullio Bros., where the basic object of the game is to run around collecting various 'substances' and keep yourself stoned/intoxicated (ie. keeping a 'Stoned/Intoxicated-Meter' from reaching zero).
Anyway, I never went ahead with it, due to the whole 'Drugs are Bad' thing and all (though it gave me a few ideas for other games). Maybe one day, when people aren't so impressionable as to attempt to copy the actions of 16x16 pixel sprites (I know one person who seems to have been subliminally influenced somewhere along the line by Keen... made himself a pogo, has a tendency to find himself running around at out-of-scale heights--along rooftops, trees, rafters, etc... hmm... doesn't wear a helmet, though... maybe it more Pogo Joe...)
(For the record I don't do drugs--I just know a lot of people who do. And seeing what it's done to some of the people I know, I think there's very little chance of me taking it up in the future...)
Anyway... it's amusing to suddenly see a similar interpretation of Keen.
Enjoy,
>CommanderSpleen

Wow, that's quite cool!
By the way, that Mullio Bros game would be nice.

In that case he isn't stoned, he just ate some of those crazy mushrooms

Perhaps were the creators stoned when creating Keen 4.
