What is a discworld
I was thinking a scifi novel series by Larry Niven, but I believe that was ringworld.
Somehow related, I assume.
-
Think turtles.
Er...
and elephants.
Think turtles and elephants.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

"You couldn't be more wrong if you tried."
Almost sounds like a challenge. :)
How many elephants can stand on the back of a turtle, anyway?
-
Wasnt there a game a while back on PS1 based on this series? I recall wanting to play it but never got around to it. I could go for some more reading material.
-
Gaspode... the disc's talking non-wonder dog? You brought it up and you don't know who Gaspode is?
"He's in love," said Gaspode. "It's very tricky."
"Yeah, I know how it is," said the cat sympathetically. "People throwing old boots and things at you."

Discworld was the name of a Little House On The Prairie book. Gaspod was the name of Laura Ingles dog. At the end of the book she had to shoot it because it got VD from a raccoon.

Everything is beautiful in it's own way.

hmmm. Skimming this thread lends me to believe everyone is playing a game as Laura Ingalls where you ride an elephant until you get VD, at which point you turn into a dog atop a turtle. You win when you reach gaspode and shoot the raccoon before it contracts ringworm.

Now wrap that up in several neat paperback packages and you've got the complete set of Discwrold novels.

I always heard it was great, but never got around to it.

i recomend starting with the later books, they older ones are just a lot slower and moer boring.
I haven't read them all, but my favorite so far is probably The Hogfather
what is everyone elses favorite

You also didn't know who Gaspode is. I'm not sure you're really a Discworld fan at all.

i actually cant read :-\
-
Start at book 1 and read them straight through. Occasionally stop to eat. I buy them in hardback when they come out because I can't wait for paperback.

The stopping to eat bit can be considered optional.
-S
-
and if you do stop to eat, make sure its bacon
-
Which would normally go without saying, but since you chose to say it, in this instance it goes with saying instead.

It has something to do with a porcupine, an accordion, two sticks of butter, a handful of thumbtacks (does that make them handtacks?), and a pink feather boa.
Don't challenge me. I win ;D

This racoon?
-
That's the one, but I still dispute the whole "worst" thing. I mean that racoon looks like he'd be pretty easy to shoot.

Personally I think it's supposed to be "wurst". I mean, c'mon, seriously, there's GOTTA be a sausage joke in there somewhere ;D

Four. The fifth one fell off.

There were TWO games.
The PC version of the first was actually my introduction to the series.

Yet many grey lords go sadly to the masterless men? Hooray, hooray for the spinster's sister's daughter? Oh wait, I know this one: To the axeman, all supplicants are the same height! ;D
Think magical fantasy similar in style to Douglas Adams, but written in a straight line. Also, I found that trying to click on Death's chimney was damn near impossible, even though I had already deduced you needed to do that to get Albert out of the kitchen.

rincewind! and cohen the barbarian! ive only read a later book. its pretty cool that you can now buy maps of discworld and the city (forgotten the name) and theres a book featuring illustrations of the main characters. cohen looked just like i imagined (",)
-
The city is called Anhk Morpork, home to the famous River Anhk.
The river itself, over the years has become so polluted as to be the only river in above freezing conditions that you could chew (Although if you should, it is not advised that you swallow). It flows from the Ramtop mountains and by the time it reaches the city is heavily silt laden, and after it has flowed (It moves faster than the land around it) through the city the Watch can trace a bodies outline on it. Despite all logic, there are fish surviving in the Ankh, although the fact that they explode on contact with fresh air (if Morpork's air could be called that) they explode suggests the effects of a magical leak from Unseen University.

There were TWO games.
There were THREE games.
Discworld 1
Discworld 2
Discworld Noir
i think there may have even been a fourth?
I personally did not like 2 very much and never played 3...

I didn't think Noir made it to PS.
I know hte license has had several games, going back to a text adventure based on the first book.
