Just a curiousity... this room was much harder for me in 1.6 (at first).... I just got to this room replaying it.

I tried it over and over using the technique I remembered from 1.5, but I'm pretty sure it is no longer possible that way. I found a different way to do it in 1.6 (which is actually more forgiving, my 1.5 strategy required exact execution during the first two spawns).

I switched to my 1.5 player and watched the demo, it actually plays through the room fine, but I leave the room with an inaccessible tar baby in the lower right chamber, which wasn't really there in 1.5

This is the first room that I think I've noticed any difference in playing due to the queen/tar spawn sync.

I mentioned this room in my "replaying DROD" topic, and I kind of found it harder, but others thought it was easier, so YMMV, as the kiddies say. I checked out other rooms on 16 but none of them seemed to be overtly affected by the spawn cycle change.

Game on,

Wow...I feel old. If the kids say YMMV...

What does that mean, so I can be in the in crowd?

There's a difference between the kids these days and the kiddies. Kiddies say things like, "lol", "omg", "rtfl" and "asl?".
I don't know what "ymmv" means. I thought it was maybe a typo of "ygmv" which would mean "you got my vote"... but maybe I'm out of touch.

YMMV = your mileage may vary. I'm not quite sure if this will really add you to the "in" crowd, but you can give it a try and tell me how it goes.

Game on,

Hm, I don't know if the "in" crowd know big words like "mileage" ;)

In any case, I think YMMV is more of a coder saying than a kid saying. YMMV.

As long as no forum member starts getting mileage from the word hax0r, it's all good by me.
