Easy Cans

[T-hawk]

FWIW, I got the joke right from the start. Guess you had to be a Diablo player.

And amusingly, there used to exist a bug such that Black Knights were actually the *hardest* "cans". They have AC 125, and the other three types of knights have AC 130 and 135. But thanks to Blizzard programming wizardry, AC was a signed single byte which overflows at 127, so AC 130 was actually AC -125.

I was very much aware of this bug back in the day; the other three types of knights could be auto-hit with literally any weapon, but Black Knights required a whoppingly high ToHit%. It was fixed in patch 1.07, IIRC.

The RB quote of the day, silly rube!

All I ever see is quote of the month.

What was the quote?

Aha, the QOTM has changed.

I was displaying the Emerson quote up until just now.

I am still confused at why it was not up to date, but now I finally understand Sirian's post.

The Black Knights (er, easy cans) have always been special. My favorite was Jim, on dlvl 16, who was everybody's favorite monster on a certain April 1.

Hi,

Realms Beyond members who don't understand references to Diablo? My, how things change with time...

By the way, what happened to your website? Both the civ4info and the kalikokottage sites are gone. I've received an email from a fan of my website who asked if I'd knew what happened to your site, and I've promised to ask you. Then I've noticed that not only both of your sites seem to be down, but that you've also disabled PMs...

My website has moved to a different location, but I haven't finished updating all the links yet. (I'm planning on having at least the Civ4 section done in time for the last Adventure of the year, which I may or may not have time to play.) I didn't really want to advertise for a site that still has a lot of broken links, but for the curious, it can be found here:

Be advised that this is still a work in progress.

Since the quote I was reading was the Emerson quote, there was nothing to understand. My QOTM wasn't updating. 2:

Sorry, but Jarulf only fooled 99.999879456% on the DSF that day.
Landru and I never fell for it
