Douglas Adams eulogy?

[jbevan70]

Brilliant man. I know Adams was an atheist, but if there's a heaven, I'm positive he's there. 

[seagoonproductions]

@saynotodarwin you.... are a bad person

[ogrish84]

We miss you Douglas Adams.

weirdo.

@saynotodarwin

Are you one of those people who goes onto youtube and pretends to be stupid?

[GTE123]

He's not dead, he just ... got a ride ...

[Diviartie]

This i would say is not a eulogy but more of a "video will". I'm glad you shared this, not for the fight of what kind of a person he was, but instead, to comemorate his simple existence on this planet (or off it). This is his last message to the people in my opinion. His message that i hope lives forever.

[Casanuda]

Simple, yet irreverent and wholly clever. Douglas Adams in an instant.

[MoonlightPhantomMask]

...Everyone..they were just books...good books...and he was just..a normal...author...I don't get why people are fighting about religion and scientology stuff, what's that got to do with something he put in his starship titanic game?

[neomp5]

nooooo, he was not just a normal author.

[MoonlightPhantomMask]

That's not what I meant by normal, normal meant as a normal human being, he was a fantastic author heck better than fantastic, I was just getting annoyed at people arguing about religion and scientology concerning his work

[neomp5]

why not? why not discuss his favourite topics?

[MoonlightPhantomMask]

Because when I read the comments from here earlier it wasn't just talking religion and scientology which if they were I'd be happy but some were actually bashing him. And I just don't feel comfortable with it. That's my only reason, stupid I know. I'd be better with it if it didn't have people doing that. Also there's the people who just act stupid and start arguing and not actually discuss about the whole subject of religion & scientology in a mature manner, they're just insulting one another.

[heyarnoldsknee]

Adams was a full fledged athiest...but the kind that just got on with it, as he so elequently puts here...build your ship, and go fishing, there's more to life than sqaubbling.

[Zdrazy]

Why, you!

You're just lucky I don't have a gas chamber handy!

[LeafHuntress]

To a "normal" ignorant creationist i would say he has to read and broaden his mind. Seeing your chosen name, that zourse of action seems would do no good. You WANT to remain ignorant.

Seeing as you like the beatles i can only hope you will listen to John Lennon's Imagine, and do just that.

[tesla1961]

thank you Douglas Adams,for fantastic Game of al time.

I LOVE this game. I got it as a high school graduation present in 1998. I stayed up many nights trying to beat it and finally had it beaten over the course of a month I think. The ending video is hilarious if you don't "sort out the bomb". The bomb counts down "3... 2... 1..." and you hear the parrot screaming "what about the parrot?!?" and then BOOOOOM! the whole thing explodes. If you did stop it, then it ends peacfully. I still have mine. Maybe I should play it again. Does it work on XP?

[Beanandamoo]

It works but the flash movie bits don't! If anybody knows how to sort it out, I will provide them with a lifetime of free stuff. Please help me, I want to play it.

[SolomonRacer]

Go to the starship titanic website, there's a button on there with the words XP in it. Click it and you should get a download link to a codec. Place the .dll file where you installed starship titanic and you should have no problems. You may also want to install the patch's on the same website.

[tesla1961]

it dont end like that,and the bom wil never go of.

Nobody likes a smartass

[jillymcjillerson]

My boyfriend recently dug his copy of this game up and got me hooked into it. I just finished the game and the last bit with Adams as Leonivus made me smile (and maybe ended up with something in my eye). I was glad to find your copy of the ending mini-movie here.

[SolomonRacer]

I wonder if there's more to this game... i think he can be found.... maybe.

[Kishmond]

Ah, Starship Titanic. I miss it so much.

[FoxyFashionBoy]

I loved this game! I remember spending weeks trying to get Titanias bits in the right order.

[Rohan2300]

titania has lovely bits :)

[GenesisHoaxAboutAdam]

What is ...<b>TheMatrix</b>? &#9827;

[DoreenPortico]

Are you trying to make people cry or what? Well youv'e suceeded, happy with youself?.... no really that was nice seeing more of DNA,thanks. Talk about poingent (i can't spell),,,

[chichirismuse]

I was confused with what happened to Scraliontis... What exactly happened to the guy?

God bless you, Mr. Adams! Your humourous randomness has inspired me!

[Rohan2300]

Scraliontis and Leovinous had a fight and scraliontis died. leovinous was injured and apparently got off the ship when the player gets on.

[chichirismuse]

Ah yes, I think I read that in the novel... But then how did Scraliontis end up face-down in a bowl of soup in the restaurant?

[Rohan2300]

hard one...he was stabbed with a lamp... it might be that he was set in the chair afterwords and simply fell forward.

[chichirismuse]

Hm... How ironic that he was killed the same way he tried to kill The Journalist...

[Darrigan]

The, I forgot about THE!!!

[chichirismuse]

The is AWESOME! Seriously, I love him to pieces.

[MysticGecko]

It was an awesome game. I remember when I had the Succ-U-bus suck the parrot and mother never gave him back. o_o

[Rohan2300]

That happened to me too :p

problem is that using the succubus is the only way to know whether its working or not.

[fishlikelong]

Starship Titanic is a brilliant game. The novel is good too which Terry Jones worked well on.

[Bobzeaux]

I don't know if one could call it a brilliant game. In all honesty, I can't imagine how anyone could have played that game without the strategy guide. :S

*sigh* If only Adams could have played Slartibartfast...

[fishlikelong]

I did a lot of it without a guide. I think i only used the guide to figure out which colour went into wich part of Titania. Oh and the Titanic Titlator cocktail.

[Bobzeaux]

Oh, is the Titilator ALL you had trouble with? That's, like, HALF of the game right there! :P lol
