Fishguts I : Transact thoughts and TV cables

So I’ve tweaked the transaction stuff a bit more, but one thing that struck me is I really hate that it gives you the dictionary right there. I loved on the C64 + Apple playing Ultima III you had to remember and take notes of who said what and to ask what of whom, here its all just given. I had fleeting thoughts of popup keyboards but that would be a hellish nightmare considering how much you need to talk to NPC’s and so forth.

One thing I forgot to add to my fallback was a random “i dont know what your talking about jack!” response when an NPC didnt have that keyword in his repertoire.

On another note I got a GP2X tv-out cable yesterday.. its an integrated svideo with L+R feeds, the stero l+r jacks are fine.. only our poor little tv has an old composite plug… of course I have a composite to svideo adapter but not an svideo to composite!!! Aaaaargggh. I really wanted to see my game running on the TV just for grins and giggles.
