Hooo-kaaay! How in THE WORLD do you pass the silver pyramid maze at the the beginning? I can see absolutely no pattern to that mish-mash of timed pyramidz whatsoever. No matter which way I go, my poor wand grunt can't get across the "maze" without getting squashed.

Attempting this level for the first time. I'm at the part where Shovelz has to negotiate the arrowz maze. I am NOT having any success with this part. Shovelz either gets stuck walking in the "squared" circle (talk about an infinite loop ) or he gets shunted off to one hole or another. Walkthrough only has a passing mention of this maze and no questions or comments in this thread about it. So I'm the first. How do I time this puppy?

My anti-virus programs keeps telling me that WinRezLT.exe is infected, that it's unable to disinfect the file and wants to move it to the back-up folder. Arrrrrgh! Wish there was some way to decompile the broken file (if that's the right term), remove the offending malware code, and fix the file.

Update--GooRoo, look in your antivirus list of quarantined objects. The WinRezLT program--or at least the relevant missing parts--may be still there, being held in quarantine or (as in my case, Backup). If so, you may be able to Restore it to its original folder. However, you may have to turn off or pause your anti-virus program in order to be able to use WinRezLT. I had to because the AV program kept deleting the file. I think this is a case of a false positive.

Hmmmmmm....Interesting. I had the same problem here. My version of Black Angel WinrezLT was also quarantined by my anti-virus program (a Kaspersky offshoot, I believe) for the very same reason: supposedly it was infected by a trojan virus. But the only file that was quarantined and deleted was the .exe file. All the other files remained intact. And it seems that Black Angel Software may have gone out of business. Like you, a search for their website turned up nothing and their domain appears to have been abandoned. I haven't made a real vigorous search for it lately, but I may see if I can come up with something.

You are quite welcome! Glad I could be of assistance to the Gruntzer community.

The Christmas runaround got you worn out and frazzled? The Grinches and Scrooges getting on your last nerve? Well, sit down, take a well-deserved break with a 4 minute dose of these guys, "Straight No Chaser" and their rather amusing version of "The 12 Days of Christmas". They get the first two verses right, but then it's just downhill from there. Cheers!

It is here in the Olio forum. The thread is titled, "R.I.P. Carmen (Senior Gruntzer).

I'm sorry to hear of Chloe's passing, GooRoo. Although she may not have been the most affectionate of pets, I'm sure she was a loyal and faithful one. I have lost too many kitties myself, almost too many to count, so I understand your heartache over losing Chloe. May the Spirit comfort your heart.

I knew that "Elmer Fudd" wouldn't receive a full Darwin for the reason you cited, i.e. lack of elimination from the gene pool, but he could/should receive an Honorable Mention for giving it the good ol' college try. Like I said, my submission would've probably have been accepted if I'd have been just a touch faster on the submit button.

Eh, no problem, Peekaboo. I frequent sites like the Darwin Awards. I also go to "Not Always Right", FAILBlog.org, "That Will Buff Out", and "There, I Fixed It: Epic Kludges and Jury Rigs." There's just so much amazing stuff, stupid stuff, and amazingly stupid stuff out there that humans do. As a matter a fact, I recently submitted my own entry to the Darwin Awards recently (no, I wasn't the nominee ). You can read my submission here. My submission was rejected, but only because someone else beat me to the punch. The mods liked my write-up, though. BTW, I should clarify my previous post just a little. While felons are ineligible to vote ATTM, with the existence of certain "community organizing" agencies around, we cannot be so sure that they don't. So I will agree that these shining pillars of human wisdom do indeed walk amongst us, reproduce, and, unfortunately, probably vote (and with a nod to Gaby, sometimes do get elected to public office).

With the exception of "the winner", contestant #1, and contestant #5, these guys are amateurs (BTW, #4 is an urban legend). Most of these idiots certainly have a future as potential Darwin Award nominees (see the Darwin Award rules) as they are definitely not the brightest crayons in the box. Contestant #5 did garner at least a nomination for Honorable Mention on the Darwin Awards website, IIRC. But I do agree: it is frightening, yet amusing, that these rather dull tools do walk amongst us, reproduce, and (unless they have been convicted of a felony) vote.

My dad sent me the link to this video a couple of days ago. The video has already received more than 4 million views. The group is called Perpetuum Jazile. They are an a capella jazz choir from Slovenia. The particular piece they do in the video is the 1982 hit "Africa" by Toto. There are absolutely no instruments used in this piece (well, one if you count the single note or chord you may hear played at the beginning for pitch if you can pick it up). All is done by the use of the voice, mouth, hands or feet. If you are familiar with the original song done by Toto, you may be shocked at how much like the original this rendition is. Of particular interest is the intro. When you listen to it for the first time, you may want to turn your speakers up and close your eyes. You might be surprised at what it sounds like! Whether you close your eyes or not, put it on full screen, turn your speakers up, sit back and ENJOY! I think you might agree that they do a fantastic job with this song.

help,please,somebody recently i replaced the memorycard'ikeep getting"cd-rom not found,play spawn mode?" the cd-rom in its place though, any suggestion??? thanks baba Does this happen only when you start the game from a shortcut or does it happen all the time? I occasionally (sometimes frequently--just depends on the mood of my drive apparently) get this error message when I start Gruntz. And it seems to happen only with the Gruntz disc. And always only when I attempt to start the program from the desktop shortcut. Usually, all I have to do is eject the disc, then reinsert it and it starts up. Also, check your disc for cleanliness. A disc that has fingerprints, scratches, etc., all over it will give the laser readers in some drives fits and make it hard to start.

Thank you FG. So kind of you and all who prayed for her. Just got home awhile ago and the news is wonderful. The most amazing thing happened during the night. She might be going to make it after all. Outstanding news, Peekaboo! That was the clincher on the diagnosis. Trouble was, I watched Deb's condition deteriorate for a year and a half before she was willing to go to the doctor. It started out as shortness of breath which she ascribed to asthma, something she was "diagnosed" with when she was pregnant with our first child. I still question that diagnosis. Then she began to have episodes where you could hear the fluid in her lungs as she fought for her breath. But through it all, and despite my insistence, she would not go see a doctor. Finally, during her last episode, her knees turned blue and that frightened her enough to be willing to go and get checked. We ultimately ended up at the emergency room. When she was x-rayed, that's when they found the enlarged heart. And, of course, that earned her a ticket straight into the cardiac care unit. Unfortunately, too little, too late. She quietly passed away 2 days later. Moral of the story, if you experience unexplained shortness of breath and it continually re-occurs, hie thee to a physician ASAP.

Peekaboo, I'm so sorry to read about your sister. Unfortunately, I have my own experience with congestive heart failure. My wife of 19 years passed away from that nasty disease almost 4 years ago, just a month shy of her 44th birthday. So I know where you're coming from. My prayers are with you, your sister and her family. May the Lord be merciful to you and her.
