I have the curse word filters turned off, but I still see "I am a terrible poaster" all over the place, so someone must have figured out how to add that to the emoticon filter or whatever instead.  I think tiku tiku has simply become part of the lexicon, though.

Edit: Then again, I don't see the original text when I quote him, so "I am a terrible poaster" may be part of a different, hidden filter.

The only time I see "I am a terrible poaster" is in quotes from people who don't have the filters turned off.

It happened in this very thread.

I just started playing this game even though I've had it since it came out. Now I am stuck on the volcano boss puzzle. Does anybody still play this game?
Its like a saturday morning cartoon for kids that wasn't actually made for kids.

They find it fun to watch and fun to help("can I saw!?" "can I turn the key!?"), but the alot of the puzzles are too hard for most children to figure out.

If I remember that boss correctly, discovering the primary tool was absolutely magickal, and in a way it's still scratching the surface of the rest of the game.

I actually meant a level right before that with the spiders, but I figured it out. It was so simple that I felt stupid for not getting it the first 4 times I tried the level.
I think I know how to beat the Spyro Jr. level but I'm giving the game a rest for now. I got the hammer extended and all the water cannons fired. I just died when I climbed up on the hammer and rung the bell. I assume he is gonna shoot at me and break the hammer which will break the glass, and drown him out but I won't know for sure until I complete it.

Hey BlackNMild2k1, I had the game since the beginning but just started playing as well. It's freakin awesome! That Ice boss was hard man!

You know I actually havn't played the lava level boss yet, I went straight to that level 9 difficulty level, with the dragon statue and spiders. It's such a pretty game to.

That boss is extremely annoying.  The section right before the end (where you died) can be really tricky due to the "wonky" controls.  If you screw up you have to repeat the whole damn level (assuming you're going to max IQ points).  It took me like 6 tries, even though I knew what to do after I died the first time.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I just beat the airship level. It took me literally 30 tries due to stupid errors and and being distracted by other things, but I honestly think I died more on that one level than all the rest of the levels combined. The stupid thing is I basically knew everything I needed to do by the 5-6 time except blow up the cargo door but I just wouldn't make it that far since I would keep getting distracted.

Now I'm onto the Old castle with a bunch of picture frames, but I had to turn it off. I burned myself out on the airship level.

Now I'm kinda stuck with no idea what to do. Last two levels before the Ghost House Boss level. The one with the pictures and the one with the potions. Not sure what to do after a certain point on wither of those

Picture level: after you go through the picture door, i'm stuck. There are two ghost pics that have different color swirlies in the background that change when in the light, but I don't know their significance after removing the key from one of them. Also can't figure out what to do with the water nozzle, how to get around the thorns in the pics or how to get past the guy holding the rope.

Potion level: I figured out how to shrink, but I can't figure out how to get the snake out of hiding in that hole. I keep getting eaten and see no other option but to confront him head on. I can try feeding him a potion or something, but it was getting late so it was time to turn it off.

I've given myself no other option but to get the last two pirate parts tomorrow morning. I haven't taken a hint or a revive yet, and haven't looked anything up online, so I'm hoping I can figure it out without having to resort to any of those options.

I feel like if write with any more detail, it's a complete giveaway.

ok hint:
The broom has 3 functions in this stage, (2) based on handheld orientation, and (1) AFTER an event/slight modification.  These 3 functions apply to paintings.  I'm sure you've swept the clouds and the dust, so you've already done all the tasks related to the sweeping function.

trust me, this is all the hint you need. I figured it out this morning and now I'm on the ghost house boss level.
only tried it twice, but I'm stuck at the part where you get the frog, and the mummy closets put colored circles on the floor and I don't know what to do there yet. I stood in the circle the 1st time & died, and tried to throw the bomb into the circle the 2nd time, but i died off screen, so I'm not sure what happened at all. Bout to go try again right after I make my forum rounds.

edit:
I can get to the third round of mummy closet colored circle jerk, but is there a tell for what circle you're supposed to be in or is it a game of luck<asking for a small hint here>? am I supposed to put the frog in the circles? I've only tried about 4-5 more times, but I'm just not seeing what I'm supposed to do. I really don't want to look anything up because you sometimes see more than what you wanted to know, and I'm not asking the game for hints, because I'm sure they are useless for the most part.

If you solved the problem by the time you read this, good work.
If not, to let you know, the three rounds of "choose the correct circle or die" are basically 'odd-one-out' puzzles. Look closely at what they do before each round and spot the odd statue.
Small note of warning: the thing to look out for changes every round, so if you noticed it the first time, don't distract yourself by searching for it again. Just watch carefully to see if one statue has a feature that other two don't or if two of them perform an action while the remainder stays as it was.
That's all the assistance I'm going to give for now... you should work it out from this.

Now I'm @ treasure island. I assume that is the real last level, cause its big and looks complicated.

I stopped playing on the ship with the kraken, I had everything done but when I launched the broken pole at it the monster was gone by the time the launch cutscene finished.

Treasure Island was the something level and it took me forever. It has a couple split second timing parts which were frustrating.

Properly stun, not just distract, the kraken before launching the pole.
