Drunkard's Walk Forums

From an old edutainment game that I just recalled:


It generates a vehicle, which persists after the song ends, but is only able to get Doug 90% of the way to his destination, and engenders huge amounts of annoyance while driving/using it, for Doug and anyone he is transporting in the vehicle.� Once the 90% point is passed, the vehicle dissipates gradually enough that those inside aren't taken by surprise, and have time to stop and get out without being harmed.� Usually.
Edit:
Upon further reflection, I think it might be a good idea to drop the whole 90% thing, and have the vehicle (almost always a car or van) just vanish upon reaching the destination.� It would be too easy to get around, by setting an initial destination further than you actually wanted to go, though having to do the math for figuring out what to set as the destination would fit the song's source...� Hmm...

I like the "90% of targeted end point, figure out the math if you want to get somewhere" thing. It just kind of fits with the quirky Dougishness of his song powers, at least In My Holy Opinion.

Don't forget that sometimes Doug's subconscious is a dick. If it knows (and how wouldn't it?) that Doug's picked a spot that's 111.11111...% of the way along the route he wants to go, it may cut off the effect early just to spite him...

Yeah, that's true. Ok, nevermind my edit, then.

...and my shoes began to squeak.

You know, what would probably be funny would be for this to be usually reliable for short range, but always unreliable for long range. This way, it's useful for getting around town, but when Doug decides to use it for a road trip...
