Interviewing AGSers(Now Dualnames 10/01/2014)

Yes, excellent job on the interviews.  Very interesting to read.  I'm glad you're doing them.

And I imagine 'You fight like a....' is cow.  The only cow I can think of is Ponch's dancing cow avatar.  Am I right?

Luckily, I got here just in time to get that quote ship-shape.

Personally, the first thing I thought of was Austin Powers. Last line of the first Austin Powers movie: "Who throws a shoe? Honestly, you fight like a woman."

Nice series of interviews so far. By the way, do you have any plans to interview CJ at some point?

[Ryan Timothy B]

I knew I was missing some details about how fantastic your avatar is.

Perhaps it's not a Monkey Island themed puzzle, maybe it's: 'You fight like a... girl'.  And he'll be interviewing Ivy or Mash?
I'm never any good at these word puzzles.

It's an adventure game forums...so it's a cow and yes it's Ponch!

Make sure you ask him when he first developed a fetish for drawing women with huge breasts.  That should prove for a most enlightening response.

Sadly, I was not asked that question. But, even though I'm now a famous AGSer worthy of interviewing, I'm still a man of the people. To answer your question:

Puberty.

In my defense, I'd like to point out that I resisted the urge to give the primary women characters in my game huge boobs. Noriko, Debbie, the Chief -- all reasonably sized breasts. But the Mayor is just a recurring character, so I indulged myself and went a little overboard on her. Or a lot.

Also, I'd like to point out that I'm not just about boobs. My women have ample booties too. As evidence, I offer this screencap from an unused portion of the "Electric Sexytime Tom Jones Dance Party" from The Forever Friday part 2.



It speaks for itself, I think.

Clearly, I'm not just about boobs. I'm a well-rounded person.

I stand erected.

[ThreeOhFour]

Ah, it is a fine thing when Noriko gets the coverage she deserves.

Of course, by 'coverage', I mean 'exposure' 

[Ponch]

Thanks Prog and Ben. You have no idea how difficult it was for me to cut that scene from the game!

By the way, any idea who is next in the interview cycle?

[ThreeOhFour]

Fixed. 

By the way, any idea who is next in the interview cycle?

Nope, but he should totally interview (by which I mean nag about when they're going to release stuff, mainly):

-CJ
-ProgZ
-Nikolas
-TheJBurger (actually, everyone working on Resonance  )
-LimpingFish
-Ali
-Grundislav
-More that I've forgotten

[Snake]

I think a real interesting read would be Squinky. He's rarely on here anymore, but he's surely contactable... if that's a word He's got a page on DeviantArt.

[Dualnames]

You spoil brats you!

The series is:
-Ponch (Ready, finishing uplast minute things)

-Nikolas(We have agreed, no questions yet Given)

[Ponch]

Awesome! Now I'm famous. Let the celebrity endorsements roll in! Personally, I'm hoping I'm asked to be the spokesman for something like the George Foreman grill, but I'll take what I can get.

Thanks Dualnames.

The Scott LeGere BBQ. I'd buy it if it came with a case of Tackyworldâ,,¢ Steak Sauce  8).

Okay, that's weird. I make my own steak sauce. It's a hobby. Store brands aren't thick and hearty enough for me.

How did you know this? Do Australians have some sort of magic powers? Are you watching me right now? Stop that! I'm in my underwear! :o

[ThreeOhFour]

I'm in my underwear! :o

I already knew that

You're going to need some major mojo pills to make it to Barn Runner 10 alive.  Either that or you could get some people to help you!

I've volunteered, but Barn Runner is a one-man show, and damn do we all know it!

[Snake]

All this talk about food makes me want to make a ham and cheese and Gonsalves sandwhich.

As Dualnames mentioned, people have offered, but Barn Runner remains a one man show. This series is my one creative outlet, and in the past it was easy to find the time to work on the games. But 2009 has been extraordinarily busy. But the calendar for 2010 is looking to be more manageable, so hopefully things will get back on track.

Also, after the Forever Friday opus comes to an end, the next couple of games in the series are self contained adventures. Barn Runner 9: Collect Call of the Siren is a two-parter, and Barn Runner 10: This Shameless Tomorrow is a big hunk o' game like The Forever Friday, but those are a ways down the road. Hopefully, smaller, self-contained games like Barn Runner 6: Even Rich Dames Cut The Cheese will help me get back on schedule.

If not... well, let's hope CJ keeps supporting AGS for the next six or seven years.

And damn it, Ben. Stop using your mental powers! Surfing the web in my underwear is one of the few pleasures that I have in this busy life. I don't need you mucking it up for me. I already get enough grief about it from my co-workers!
