Update on Retired Wizard Defense

retired_wizard_defense_banner.jpg

The game is nearing completion, but sadly it won’t be ready for release by the end of the month. Expect it soon, but not in July.

We tried discussing the prospect of pants with the goblins, but it didn’t go over too well and now they’re on strike. :(

    I cant wait to see how it turns out.

  2. wow25 on July 28th, 2010

    neither can I.

  3. Grey280 on July 28th, 2010

    You don’t ASK the goblins! Never deal with goblins, they’re the worst. If you want them to wear pants, wait until they fall asleep, and superglue some jeans on.

  4. SonicCloud on July 28th, 2010

    Grey280- I don’t think they asked the goblins. I think Lisa is talking about the rest of HI. FAIL… :P just kiddin man. :)

    Anyways, why do you guys care about the pants? Their goblins for cryin out loud! Just give em a loin cloth or somethin.

    4th! :D

  5. bubble go boom on July 28th, 2010

  6. Goon on July 28th, 2010

    You have to use MEAT! Gosh darnit, HI! Now you did it wrong, and they won’t listen to you…

    Looks you’re going to have to play the Elegy Of Pantitude if you’re going to convince them now…

    (Will there be bosses and enemies BESIDES goblins?)

  7. zinthow on July 28th, 2010

    oh well, I can wait as long as it can take, if I waited one year for Starcraft 2 I can a couple weeks for this game. Still I can’t wait! :D

  10. bubble go boom on July 28th, 2010

    No one can wait.

  11. I hope I don't die on July 28th, 2010

    I can

  12. Jared on July 28th, 2010

    By the way, Starcraft 2 is AWESOME. We got the whole Hero office a copy!

  13. Goon on July 28th, 2010

    ^Off Topic

  14. Parasite123 on July 28th, 2010

    I’m upset with Blizzard, because in the first Starcraft they have this local area network so that you can play with other people in your home. And you only need one disk, but in Starcraft 2 the only way to play with people in your house is the battle-net, and you need one disk per player, I wanted to play it with three of my brothers. That means we need to buy three disks and that’s over $180. :(
    Hey Jared why don’t you tell me whats it like, and I want to know what your favorite team is, mine is Zerg.

  15. click here to win BTA3 on July 29th, 2010

    so many new games^^

  16. Brent on July 29th, 2010

    Jared loves going Zerg, but my Protoss Photon Cannon Offense is to much for him to overcome!

  17. SonicCloud on July 29th, 2010

    What is StarCraft anyways?

  18. bubble go boom on July 29th, 2010

    What! You don’t know what starcraft is. (well,I guess I can’t say anything about that `cause I’ve never played it.)

  19. Papaya on July 29th, 2010

    Papaya thinks Starcraft is for NERDS!!!!!!!

  20. Parasite123 on July 29th, 2010

    Starcraft is not for nerds! Are you calling Jared a nerd!?!?!?!

  21. SonicCloud on July 29th, 2010

    Again, I need to kno what it is to understand if it’s true that it’s for nerds or not. I would kno since my bro works for IGN.

  22. Goon on July 29th, 2010

    Starcraft is TOTALLY for nerds.

  23. Goon on July 29th, 2010

    I kinda wish Stephanie was back. I have to admit, she DID spice up the blog a little.

    And it wasn’t as hectic as it is now.

    And blog posts were more common….

  24. Jared on July 30th, 2010

    We are going to get a lot more blog posts up on here soon, bear with us!

  25. oogaooga on July 30th, 2010

    oogaooga is sad cuz peeps continue to annoy Jared and other HI memberz with spammy comments. :(
    oogaooga believes that when Jared is mad, he takes awayz blogz. :idea:
    oogaooga shall help the cause to stop Spammy Comments (SC). :D

    oogaooga wantz to kno what StarCraft is. :?:

    oogaooga can’t wait to drop things on silly little goblins. :P

  26. Parasite123 on July 30th, 2010

    I’m with you Jared!

  27. Goon on July 30th, 2010

    Uhh, me too?

    Now, to start some off-topicness. Which is better, Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper?

    (Just kidding. Everyone knows Dr. Pepper savagely kills all other soft drinks.)

  28. Suturos on July 30th, 2010

    If I wanted to have cough syrup I would have cough syrup. Coke.

  29. Goon on July 30th, 2010

    How could you insult the God of sodas like that? Blasphemy on your poor soul. :cry:

  30. Papaya on July 30th, 2010

    THIS.
    BLOG.
    IS.
    DEAD.

  31. ShoutyShout on July 30th, 2010

    Poor thing how they don’t know what pants they are gonna use. :( :((

  32. Parasite123 on July 30th, 2010

    STAY on topic, HI made it so we can not post on shifty, so lets just go back to retired wizard defense.

  33. Goon on July 31st, 2010

    (Shifty didn’t sound too good of a game, in all honesty.)

    If you want goblins to wear pants, all you need to do is staple the pants to them. Simple. And they even have guns that shoot staples, so you don’t have to get up close and personal.

  34. Goon on July 31st, 2010

    And Papaya is right. This blog has severely lost popularity since the release of BTA.

    You never can please anyone these days, can you?

  35. zinthow on July 31st, 2010

    Goon your right about Papaya being right, this blog is Dead

  36. Goon on July 31st, 2010

    Very Dead.

  37. jightrod on July 31st, 2010

    oh come ON!!!
    SEIRIOUSLY!!!
    i WOULD have expected it by the time you put up
    this post!!
    man armorgames also hasntput up a lot of games
    either!!!!!!!

    ….sorry just a little mad,but i was a little
    serious.

  38. Goon on July 31st, 2010

    See, the thing is, HI likes to wait until the very last possible day to release games. They have done so with almost all of their games (but, amazingly, some have been on time).

    To be mad at RWD’s release date NOW is like being mad at the sky because it is blue.

    I learned that life is all about cruelties and disasters. Sure, there may be good times with friends and family, but between that it is all just a hectic maelstrom.

    /Expect BT3 by December or January. Possibly next summer at most. I would be extremely astonished if they actually released it in Fall.\

  39. zinthow on August 1st, 2010

    goon

    THATS my theory, that HI releases everything on the last possible day of the month or the next month and they usually say that it will be released that month on the first day of the month and then released next month. why wont they do what they say they will do?

  40. Goon on August 1st, 2010

    Sometimes they do. Mostimes they don’t.

    Only on full moons will they release games on time. Of course, BTA was released on a Half Moon, but that’s because of the many “date kick-backs”.

    Pixel was perfect. Right on the Full Moon. Don’t believe me? Ask this guy. *points to the hooded figure next to him*

    With BT3, they haven’t exactly specified the release date yet, so the Full Moon could come any day.

  41. lockeness on August 1st, 2010

    hmmm, it would be very weird if it comes out on saturday

  42. Parasite123 on August 1st, 2010

    Why are everyone talking about this game releasing on the full moon?

  43. Parasite123 on August 2nd, 2010

    Wow no post for two days (besides me).

  44. Papaya on August 2nd, 2010

    Put some pants on those goblins before the childrens eyes burn out.

    Do it nao!

  45. awsome games on August 2nd, 2010

    wow that sure looks exciting

  46. rere5678 on August 4th, 2010

    who cares about pants you now what, im going to go of toppic this guy *points at hooded guy* he says that this game will be released on a half moon

  47. oogaooga on August 6th, 2010

    oogaooga says dat it will be released when it’s realeased! :D
    oogaooga is JENIUS8)

    oogaooga will talk some sense into Goon. :|
    oogaooga explains to Goon dat HE is da one who is causing off-topicnesses for a majority of the time. :(
    oogaooga has proof- “Now, to start some off-topicness. Which is better, Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper?:roll:
    oogaooga has shown Goon what he is doin wrong and hopes dat he understands. :)

    oogaooga (again) asks what StarCraft is. :?

  48. Goon on August 6th, 2010

    There you go starting off-topicness with StarCraft.

  49. oogaooga on August 6th, 2010

    oogaooga seriously just wants to kno what StarCraft is! :(

  50. Silent Shadow on August 6th, 2010

    This is StarCraft II. Read the article if you’re curious.

  51. rere5678 on August 7th, 2010

    I want roaming fortress to come out sooooo badly who agrees with me. infact post a comment on which game you want to have come out next.

  52. rere5678 on August 7th, 2010

    why is goon having all these fights?

  53. Goon on August 7th, 2010

    The real question is: Why aren’t YOU fighting?

    But no, I’m just kidding. I guess people just hate me.
    What? Nah, I can live with that. I’ve had to deal with worse things. Much worse things.

  54. rere5678 on August 7th, 2010

    ok

  55. rere5678 on August 8th, 2010

  62. bibblebobbletanks on August 11th, 2010

    july was like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaageeeeeeeeeeees ago…

  63. Goon on August 11th, 2010

    Yeah, I feel HI is just sitting on their finished games and teasing us on purpose.

    What in the world happened to that close-to-right-after-July release date?

  64. Silent Shadow on August 11th, 2010

    Hero Interactive, we could really use an update right now, especially a BT3 update.

  65. Goon on August 11th, 2010

    “BT3…scheduled to be released in Fall 2010…”

    B.
    S.

  66. Silent Shadow on August 11th, 2010

    @Goon

    True that.

  67. Goon on August 11th, 2010

    More like 2011 or 2012 or 2057 or NEVER (like it was with that Tailgate Toss game or whatever it was called).

  68. zinthow on August 12th, 2010

    hey lets start posting joks…

  69. Goon on August 12th, 2010

    Knock knock.

    Who’s there?

    It’s the bank.

    Bank who?

    You haven’t payed your mortgage in 5 months, sir.

    Mortgage who?

    The one you’re SUPPOSED to pay to keep your house.

    House who?

    The house we’re seizing.

    Who?

    Get out.

  70. Frubban on August 12th, 2010

    Why is six scared of seven?

    Because seven eight nine.

    If you laughed at that, you fail.

  71. Artavios on August 12th, 2010

  72. Goon on August 12th, 2010

    Don’t do drugs kids. You’ll regret that. Trust me.

  73. zinthow on August 12th, 2010

    @goon

    uh oh…

  74. zinthow on August 12th, 2010

    LOL hope you roflol for this one…

    If you have ever used an electric fence or know someone who has one you
    should read this.

    If you don’t laugh hysterically at this,….CHECK YOUR PULSE…this is
    funny….and true.

    I have the standard 6 ft. fence in the backyard, and a few months ago, I
    heard about burglaries increasing dramatically in the entire city. To make
    sure this never happened to me, I got an electric fence and ran a single
    wire along the top of the fence.

    Actually, I got the biggest cattle charger Tractor Supply had, made for 26
    miles of fence. I then used an 8 ft. long ground rod, and drove it 7.5 feet
    into the ground. The ground rod is the key, with the more you have in the
    ground, the better the fence works.

    One day I’m mowing the back yard with my cheapo Wal-Mart 6 hp big wheel push
    mower. The hot wire is broken and laying out in the yard. I knew for a fact
    that I unplugged the charger. I pushed the mower around the wire and reached
    down to grab it, to throw it out of the way.

    It seems as though I hadn’t remembered to unplug it after all.

    Now I’m standing there, I’ve got the running lawnmower in my right hand and
    the 1.7 giga-volt fence wire in the other hand. Keep in mind the charger is
    about the size of a marine battery and has a picture of an upside down cow
    on fire on the cover.

    Time stood still.

    The first thing I notice is my pecker trying to climb up the front side of
    my body. My ears curled downwards and I could feel the lawnmower ignition
    firing in the backside of my brain. Every time that Briggs & Stratton rolled
    over, I could feel the spark in my head. I was literally at one with the
    engine.

    It seems as though the fence charger and the piece of shit lawnmower were
    fighting over who would control my electrical impulses.

    Science says you cannot crap, pee, and vomit at the same time. I beg to
    differ. Not only did I do all three at once, but my bowels emptied 3
    different times in less than half of a second. It was a Matrix kind of bowel
    movement, where time is creeping along and you’re all leaned back and BAM
    BAM BAM you just crap your pants 3 times. It seemed like there were minutes
    in between but in reality it was so close together, it was like exhaust
    pulses from a big block Chevy turning 8 grand.

    At this point I’m about 30 minutes (maybe 2 seconds) into holding onto the
    fence wire. My hand is wrapped around the wire palm down so I can’t let go.
    I grew up on a farm so I know all about electric fences … but Dad always
    had those piece of shit chargers made by International or whoever that were
    like 9 volts and just kinda tickled.

    This one I could not let go of. The 8 foot long ground rod is now accepting
    signals from me through the permadamp Ark-La-Tex river bottom soil. At this
    point I’m thinking I’m going to have to just man up and take it, until the
    lawnmower runs out of gas.

    ‘Damn!,’ I think, as I remember I just filled the tank!

    Now the lawnmower is starting to run rough. It has settled into a loping run
    pattern as if it had some kind of big lawnmower race cam in it. Covered in
    poop, pee, and with my vomit on my chest I think ‘Oh God please die ….
    Pleeeeaze die’. But nooooo, it settles into the rough lumpy cam idle nicely
    and remains there, like a big bore roller cam EFI motor waiting for the go
    command from its owner’s right foot.

    So here I am in the middle of July, 104 degrees, 80% humidity, standing in
    my own backyard, begging God to kill me. God did not take me that day…. he
    left me there covered in my own fluids to writhe in the misery my own
    stupidity had created.

    I honestly don’t know how I got loose from the wire ….

    I woke up laying on the ground hours later. The lawnmower was beside me, out
    of gas. It was later on in the day and I was sunburned.

    There were two large dead grass spots where I had been standing, and then
    another long skinny dead spot where the wire had laid while I was on the
    ground still holding on to it. I assume I finally had a seizure and in the
    resulting thrashing had somehow let go of the wire.

    Upon waking from my electrically induced sleep I realized a few things:

    1 – Three of the fillings in my teeth have melted.

    2 – I now have cramps in the bottoms of my feet and my right butt cheek (not
    the left, just the right).

    3 – Poop, pee, and vomit when all mixed together, do not smell as bad as you
    might think.

    4 – My left eye will not open.

    5 – My right eye will not close.

    6 – The lawnmower runs like a sumbitch now. Seriously! I think our little
    session cleared out some carbon fouling or something, because it was better
    than new after that.

    7 – My nuts are still smaller than average yet they are almost a foot long.

    8 – I can turn on the TV in the game room by farting while thinking of the
    number 4 (still don’t understand this???).

    That day changed my life. I now have a newfound respect for things. I
    appreciate the little things more, and now I always triple check to make
    sure the fence is unplugged before I mow.

    The good news, is that if a burglar does try to come over the fence, I can
    clearly visualize what my security system will do to him, and THAT gives me
    a warm and fuzzy feeling all over, which also reminds me to triple check
    before I mow.

  75. Goon on August 12th, 2010

    ^^EPIC FAIL^^

  76. berniw on August 12th, 2010

    its impossible to:
    fart

    Unfortunately, my SHOOP DA WHOOP lazor accidentally misfired and wiped out nearly all life on Earth, sparing the HI building, and all commentors and members.

    So…yeah, post-apocalyptic world.
