Ooo... shiny.

Excellent job as usual, Dimi.

[Gregjazz]

Wow, cool! I'm new to The Inventory, but I'm looking forward to reading this issue!

[Phemar]

Isn't this the same as the Ezine?

Downloading now.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

Shame on you, Zor!

Vel'z EZine is AGS-related, and AGS only, and it strives only to keep us up to date with the latest news on the community, heavily opinated by Vel, which is his style.

The Inventory is a magazine which you have to print and bind BEFORE you read (or at least you should), and it keeps us abreast of ALL adventure game related issues. It tries hard to be impartial, but if you pry you can pick up a lot of opinions.

[Phemar]

Oooh yeah, just realised that, sorry. I read and this is someting that you should print and bind and keep forever and treasure to pass down to you grandchildren and they can keep it and frame in their living room to show off to the news sales agent in town...whatever.

Sorry, I hadn't read it yet. I see now my fault and apologize...humbly.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

No worries, Bruce.

(obscure reference to Monty Python, Terry Pratchett and possibly something else *coughaussiecough*...)

[SteveMcCrea in Austin]

What is this obsession with printing out the Inventory?
"I encourage you to rape the environment - please print out 40 pages, read them once, then chuck them away!"

[m0ds]

Having stuff in print is good. You can put it in folders and stuff, and feel all organised. Nice issue!

[AGA]

And computers don't have folders? ¬_¬

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I much prefer reading stuff in print than off a computer. That's why I hate e-books.

[DragonRose]

I always read stuff on the computer to the point that I'm actually starting to get annoyed when I get handouts and such in class.  I think e-books are great, too, because unless I'm incredibly clumsy I can't accidently sit on an e-book, destryoing the bindings and therefore losing pages.

Woooo, that's getting off topic.  I finished reading the Inventory. Congrats on an awesome review, Kinoko!

[Kinoko]

Yes, big public thanks to Dimitris for a very nice review ^_^ I'm so flattered! The whole issue is great, I'll definitely keep reading this in the future.

I'm with the PR team of the unofficial King's Quest IX” King's Quest IX and you can't believe how pleased we are with the interview in this issue of “The Inventory”. The article features an in-depth interview with Project Director César Bittar and PR director Saydmell Salazar. Bittar and Salazar fill “The Inventory” in on all of the game's current developments including new art, technology, and the new King's Quest IX web site. There is even some discussion of King's Quest's IX''s “top secret” plot and characters! King's Quest IX's multi-talented Michael Fortunato's artwork is featured on cover, and the article features new art work from the game! If you want to learn more about King's Quest IX, point your browser to http://www.kq9.org.

I encourage everybody to download this issue to check out our interview and all of the other great stuff that the folks at “The Inventory” have stuffed into this expansive issue!

Peace, Love, & Understanding,
