Would you really define this as "vulgar"?

Milla anorexic?  ???

No. She's a fatty.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm joking.

I already made that joke. Shut your face.

Your jokes mean nothing to me. I am superior.

Haddas, do not talk to the woman. Talk to me. If you dare.

Gosh, I'm calling my company Colossal Industries, does that mean I think my company is bigger and better than all the others or could it be... Just in fact...Ã,  A name?

there's a difference between having a clever name and just blatantly calling yourself the best. their logo is very arrogant.Ã,  Ã, :P

Milla isn't fat nor plump nor anorexic. She's an athlete. And one day i'm going to marry her  ;D

If you honestly believe that, Mordalles I am very surprised and saddened...

i was saying that your logo, mrcolossal, is perfectly fine, but big brother's logo isn't.

Them doing a herculean effort does in NO WAY put the effort other people put in their games down. Where did you get that? One must have so many insecurities to infer theis one.

I agree, it's quite sad that you think that way Mordalles...

Making an AGS game is quite a hurculean effort because you have to do everything by yourself [luckily BB has Geof] and takes a long time and a LOT of work...

whoever said anything about "herculean effort". i was talking about the "it's tough being the best" part.

do you wan't a hanky?

I do hope, Mordy, that you know that BBs and Geofs (only because BB is older is he first), company is named 'Herculean Efforts' and they have the logo "It's not easy being the best"...

For the record, for a long time I really thought that H.E. were the best! So impressed by Apprentice...

Helm

I just checked their website to finally get what you're talking about. It's not part of their logo, it's a motto, apparently, and a very arrogant one, I'll give you that.
WINTERKILL

MrColossal

Oh that! The little tag line? That is what this is all about... haha that's silly... It's a tag line, who cares?

Fine, my new tag line is "Colossal Industries: I am better than you." I highly doubt BB and Geof think they are better than everyone.

How about asking them!

Hey Big Brother and Geof, do you think you're the best, and if so, how difficult is it to be such?

Geez, it's just a name and a motto.

In fact consider Precision Sound (http://www.precisionsound.com), a well-known company. On the main page of their website it says "Take a quick tour of our site and discover why Precision Sound is your "ONE STOP" for all things multimedia." Pretty "arrogant", huh? This is only one example of many...

Hello sir. Before I say anything else, I'd just like to say that I think you're great. I've never seen you post anything that I haven't agreed with, or thought was arrogant or belittleing. I presume that you and Big Brother are related purely because of the "Big Brother" moniker and the co-working on your various projects (which I also think are great). I have an older brother and will leap to his defense if anybody, ANYBODY, critised him so (assuming the previous bit was accurate) I know where you're coming from. I don't think you are arrogant, but I think "it's not easy being the best" is. I have a hard time relating that strapline to your personality. They seem mutually exclusive. Please don't read any of my posts as an attack on you (although they may indirectly be via your connection to big brother and for that I appologise).

"ONE STOP" for all things multimedia."

Implies that there are lots of goodies on the site

"It's not easy being the best"

Is impossible to take as anything other than arrogant. I hope you can see where I'm coming from.

You're obviously not understanding the point of this thread. Let me make you a little summary: it's not that it's vulgar, but that it's inappropriate to the context of the game.

The context of the game is not sufficiently known to possibly make that assumption.

Quote from: Geoffkhan
Dude, Ian rocks. Get over it.

I'm sure he is. The sprite art I've seen is excellent. I'm not saying that he isn't good, just arrogant.

Hello, CaptainBinky! (Love the name, by the way.) I'm The Inquisitive Stranger! I used to be Squinky, but then someone else became Squinky and suddenly I didn't feel so unique anymore.

Hello Squinky. Love your name too. Squinky used to be my password on various things, but it was a bit too similar to Binky.

Quote from: The Inquisitive Stranger
For the record, I don't hate you, nor am I offended by you personally. It's society as a whole that offends me.

That's okay. All posts forgiven. Please forgive me too :)

Look they're geniuses Helm!

The Team
      The geniuses behind Herculean Effort Productions are Ian (design, concept art, 2D art, general janitorial services) and Greg "Gregor Samsa" Schlaepfer (scripting, music, 3D art, webmaster, janitorial assistance).

I'm having them come round to fix my toilet on friday.

Oooooon the other hand... I'd hardly advertise my own game by saying "Play my game! If you want. I'm not forcing you or anything. And it's just like 5 billion other adventure games."

There are a million possible straplines you could use without claiming to be better than everybody else... or... just maybe... Herculean Effort Productions. With no strapline. See? Instantly improved.

Plus am I the only one noticing the problem here with one group of people saying that just because they have big boobs in their game doesn't make them adolescent but a tag line for another group of people makes them arrogant?

Now I'm not naming names here... Of course... But it seems like a wee bit of a problem for me

There are a million different ways to tell the story you have written without tig ol' bitties... Also

;D I see exactly what you are saying. And you have an extremely good point. However, we have said we have justification for the look of the character. If there is justification for "it's not easy being the best", then it can only be that they actually ARE the best. And if that's true, then fair enough... EXCEPT... claiming to be the best is not a good thing to do. Be the best and let everybody else tell you you are the best. But never, EVER, claim it.
