Did you even see the grasshopper at your feet?

I wasn't paying attention, so I stepped on him, so then I just took some green construction paper and made a fake grasshopper, but sifu caught me and beat me with a stick, then he sent me to the pet shop to find another grasshopper, and on my way there, that's when I cross the lion dance team, actually, I took a **** on the lion, but I didn't mean to, I was ****ing against the wall and they bumped into me, totally THEIR FAULT, but they didn't see it that way, that's when the riot broke out, but fortunately, another lion team came by and thought the riot was disrespectful to them so they attacked the first team, so I got away, but then I was a little hungry, so I went to silver palace for tea, but the ha gow were sold out and that got me depressed, so then I went home, forgot about the grasshopper and sifu got really made the next day

Your sifu was a member of the Hung? Did he teach you the Shaolin Wooden-Man hall and the Hung step?

lkfmdc,
you mentioned master Pai......was Dai Wong Pai the brother of Won Hung Lo? I seem to rememeber hearing about him from Sum Young Boi.

He is from I beleive that same county and province in China the problem with the province of sum ting wong is that they people that live there cant get anything wight!

No one associates with Won Hung Lo anymore since he was caught late at night with Sum Young Boi. He said it really was Nga Ting Wong but no one believed him

Does any have an opinion on what is the best form of Martial Arts? Mine would have to be Jeet Kune Do.

There is no best martial art. I myself follow the CONCEPT of Jeet Kune Do. I stress the word concept because that's what it is, it is not a style. Jeet Kune Do is a pholosophy for life in gneral and one that can be applied to martial arts. It is to be open, to flow like water, have no restrictions, never trap yourself. To develop your Jeet Kune Do in martial arts one must first have training in some sort of style in order to learn what it means to punch, block, kick, etc. The ideal style to be trained in is the one developed by Bruce Lee himself, Jun Fan Gung Fu, but it is not absolutely neccessary. Once you have reached a proficient level in your chosen style you may begin to strip away what does not fit your personality and incorporate differente things into your training, from other styles, from anything in life really. Be fluid, be open, have no restrictions, this is the true essence of Jeet Kune Do. The person with the best style is the one who has risen above styles. As Bruce Lee himself said, "Have no limitation as limitation, Use no way as way." and "Be water my friend."

glock fu = best style, beats all empty hand and classical weapons, even beats all mt, bjj, wrestling, boxing karate, kungfu and even blunt weapons.

the best!

It was Zork.

Yea back when I was a kid them computer games didn't have no fancy graphics. All we needed was a lantern and proper syntax.

the best form is no form/no limits.

whatever works the best for you is the best form for you.

Ah, yes - Zork. That's not the one I was thinking of, though, but I played it too. Colossal Cave Adventure was the one I was thinking of. If you look up Zork on Wikipedia it references Colossal Cave as well.

Zork was the Hitchhiker's Guide of text games. Very funny. :)

"There is no best martial art. I myself follow the CONCEPT of Jeet Kune Do."

JKD is simply Bruce's way of re-naming what ALL Kung-Fu people know as "Mo-Wai"-spontaneous response derived from training

"To develop your Jeet Kune Do in martial arts one must first have training in some sort of style in order to learn what it means to punch, block, kick, etc."

This is called having a firm foundation in the basics.

"The ideal style to be trained in is the one developed by Bruce Lee himself, Jun Fan Gung Fu, but it is not absolutely neccessary. Once you have reached a proficient level in your chosen style you may begin to strip away what does not fit your personality and incorporate differente things into your training, from other styles,"

This is known as developing attributes, or skill sets, tools

from anything in life really. Be fluid, be open, have no restrictions, this is the true essence of Jeet Kune Do. The person with the best style is the one who has risen above styles. As Bruce Lee himself said, "Have no limitation as limitation, Use no way as way." and "Be water my friend."

No way=Mo-Wai
__________________
"Jeet Kune Do is the art not founded on technique or doctrine. It is just as you are." -Bruce Lee -and everyone else who has ever reached a high level of proficiency

Bruce Lee didn't discover, create,or develop anything new. He simply put these well-known concepts into something people who did not study the classics could grasp. If he were around today, Tao Of Jeet Kune Do would be on the bookshelves right along with the rest of the "______ for Dummies" books.

David J,
I love glock fu, ranks right up there with Ching Chang and Run Can do.

lkfmdc, wow
I cant beleive he was caught with Sum Young Boi. I thought they seemd gay when they introduced me to that flamer Tu Can Chu but what the hell do I know I live all the way up in Caan Sei Sh it.

htowndragon
i know that chin tu faat DID have a price on his head but the contract was given to Run Wong Wei who could never seem to find him no matter where he looked.

Thats always the case with those Wong's.......... that cant do anything Wight!

After his run in with Chin Tu Fat's enforcers, known as the Sahp Bat Lo Faan, he survived but changed his name to Lei Lo

Dude, love your sig. I remember playing that game on my brother's old TRS-80 back in the day but I can't remember the name of it. Adventure? Was it just Adventure or something else? At the time it was awesome...

Zork. But the game you are thinking of is "adventure quest". it was part of the "jewels of darkness" trilogy. I still have that trilogy.

Was there one called "Wizardry?" I also vaguely remember one about a haunted mansion... ring any bells?

I never played a text version of wizardry, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. Every version I played had graphics, but I may not have started playing till like wizardry III.

Ever play master of evil?

I used to love the old sierra games, in particular, leisure suit larry, king's quest and quest for glory (heroe's quest). the police quest series was really good, too.

a haunted mansion... that may have been the sierra game "the colonel's bequest" - another good sierra game. Was it about a group of people who were called to this mansion, and one by one, people started coming up missing?

I can talk about this all day... remember "broken sword"? I hear they are making a movie out of that series.

Wait... the haunted mansion game may be maniac mansion...that was another one that I really liked. that was moreso about aliens though...

Ming Yue

08-09-2007, 03:06 PM

I do remember broken sword, but just barely.

I recently ordered a graphical version of Zork - came out quite some time ago but got pretty good reviews. Looking forward to playing it.

yes, like so many forms or styles. there are the grandiose ones.

and then there are many and many more other "cheaper" versions or "easier" forms or look alike.

--

there are many and many copy cats. cheaper versions of the bomb.

or so called poor man's A-bombs etc.

Man, I'd completely forgotten about King's Quest. That was a good one. Played Leisure Suit Larry a little bit, and Monkey Island was excellent too.

Then of course came the D&D Pools of Radiance, and the early Ultima stuff.

I vaguely remember something about a Haunted Mansion also.

Here's a question for you - one of the very first adventure games with graphics was about the hero exploring a dungeon that was essentially a big rectangle with lots of rooms off the main corridor, and the graphic for the hero looked like a really big version of this: :-

By any strange twist of fate do either of you remember a game like that? I thought it was the best thing ever when it came out.

Atari had a game like that (I have it) called Venture. You were a big ass smiley face, and it I remember right, his name was winky. I didn't know they had it on the pc though.

it's not very clear, but if this is the game, you will know it.

Or, maybe it was rogue?

Thanks but nope, those aren't it. The graphics were even more basic than rogue.

Wish I could remember more about it but it's been way too many years.
