	In Response To: Re: Rubicon Volunteers - Bump & Grind (Steve Levinson) : Ah, but Durandal doesn’t need to make his existence justified. After all, : he’s Durandal. You, on the other hand, are nothing more than destiny ;-) : Yes, but there are jumping puzzles and there are jumping puzzles. The : Infinity level Whatever You Please - now that's a level with jumping : puzzles. The difference was that the jumping was optional and very, very : difficult, but it led the player to significant rewards and really cool : exploration. I died a thousand times trying (well, probably not that : many), but I loved it. In Bump & Grind, on the other hand, the jumping : was part of the level and just plain an inconvenience. Maybe I just didn't : like it because I fell off a lot (too much in a hurry), but I just thought : that it was unnecessary here. Yeah it is unnecessary but it's probably just there to make things interesting. Ah, Whatever You Please; that was a lot of jumping. I still don't see how this is difficult, you jump from a ledge, to a pillar, to another ledge. : Perhaps . . . Maybe Chris or Scott could weigh in on this. Do we have to argue in every post? :) : Actually, as per the M2 final screen, all modern Pfhor personality constructs : were based on a 64 billion exobyte image of Tycho which, coincidentally, : was the same size as Durandal when he transferred himself from the : Marathon to Boomer. I can only assume that both Durandal and Tycho : expanded exponentially after leaving the Marathon, so this probably : represents only a fraction of the original Tycho's program. I forgot about that. That actually makes a lot more sense, I can't image the Pfhor wanting a computer that increased exponentially, they probably just stopped his development somewhere. : So I'm fanatical, now. Um, no. That's not what I meant; honest :)
