My first post was in a sprite jam, and was also my first try at pixel art :)...
...It feels so long ago ;D

I remember that post! :D

Little did we know about the common cold that was about to hit us all! DUN DUN DUN

I think the first post I made was to help Jeremie Lumbruso with some MIDI/music questions/problems back on ee zed board. The rest (from then up until yesterday) is just a blur.

My first posts are lost to time.

My first ever post was waaay back on January 2nd 2007 and was a new thread entitled:

"Question about walk-behinds"

It wasn't too embarrassing as first posts go.  I had a genuine query and my grammar was pretty good (maybe some slight overuse of the word "but")

I haven't really got a worst post.  I try to make sure I only post something valid or funny.  And I normally try to keep my spelling and grammar up to scratch, although I've been slipping lately.

My first post happened because I was creating a game with ZZjZmoz, and promoting it on the In-production board.  That was about a year ago, and I came back to post the finished game just now.

QuoteThere truly IS a holy copy of the walkthrough! Yes, hidden in the moist, dark depths of the homepage of Herculean Effort. Guarded by hideous webmasters and burning fire it lies and awaits finding. BUT... Will YOU make it there on your own? Will you risk your life for a walkthrough? Or will you click this link? http://www.sonic.net/~schlae/herculeaneffort/apprentice%20walkthrough.html ?!!???!?

There you have it. not my first post, certainly not my worst, but it's as far back as it goes

I can't find my first post, so I'm not sure if it still exists. I think it was an entry in a Sprite Jam four years ago. The topic was 'Worst Job in the World' and I drew the guy who has to sharpen the tops of mountains with a pencil sharpener. It wasn't even really a sprite, but I think I won.

Of course those were the days when AGS was a welcoming community that left its back doors unlocked and always said good morning to its elderly neighbours.

I look at a lot of my old posts and ask myself, "What the fuck was wrong with me?"

But, I suppose my absolute worst post(s) would have to be:
1. the time I flipped out in a discussion about MTV, by posting some really nasty racial slurs about rappers.
2. the time I flipped out and called Wanderlady a sheep, because he didn't like people referring to CJ as Jesus/God, etc.

As far as my very first post, I couldn't even tell you what it was about.
Watch, I just killed this topic...

My first post was about a game called Moose Rage. I thought it was a cute, unpolished gem that didn't get too much recognition.
Nothing special about it, though. But my command of the english language was still nearly non-existant.


I don't think I ever did a truly terrible post.
But there are two which I think are interesting.
My answer to the april joke game "Hero of Infamous Kingdoms":

The game is kinda funny.
I like the voice of the old man, oh and just the simplicity and pure sillyness, still, I don't know exactly what to think of it. I expected more seeing that you put all the projects together, doesn't look like you did much in that time before, it's a bit disappointing, I mean, how eager were we for the release of that games, looked at this pretty screenshots, thought of the times back than when the real Sierra, before Chainsaw Whateverday, was still alive and hoped for some pretty good adventures.
So it's kind of a letdown, you have to understand, it's not that what we expected, and I think it was a terrible mistake to stop the projects! I mean, all give up just to put it together to an above-average game? Is this really how it was meant to be? Is this really all?
Was really everyone for this idea? I can't imagine that all members of the teams liked that plan? Did just the project leaders voices count or what? It's a bit unfair when you think of it that the work you spended your many countless hours on in your spare time after work is wasted on something different you wanted it for....
It's hard to understand what you did all the time when I see this...
Especially the Hero6 project, I mean, all the years?   :P  ::)
I think you will get many whining mails because of this decision from disappointed adventure fans...  ;)


Oh, by the way, I found a bug! Would you fix it?  ;)

I'm amazed that this post was pretty amusing for my proportions!
I got a PM from someone who misunderstood this answer, though.

Oh, and then there is this "what was I thinking?"-post:
Quote
Man, she just kissed him.
I think that's not so hard to read out, he loved the kiss, because that's all what it was about, right?
He never kissed a girl before so assume they didn't fuck directly.
It may be false but I don't think so.

Of course, I know how it is, even if you know that, you're pretty sure, there is a small chance it can be still different otherwise.


I think I start to talk about total different things....

It's not that bad, but it doesn't feel like me. The last sentence was certainly a heavy-handed way for saying "I digress..."

Oh, and a noobish question here and there is quite natural, of course. :)

How about that, my first post was also in a sprite jam, and it was also my first at pixel art... after a while :)

I don't know what has been my worst post. I browsed them all through and all of them seemed pretty sensible to me, even the ones I made while intoxicated. Maybe this is my worst post then ;)

   Help me out! Is it me lacking English skills, or just because I'm plain stupid.
   Here's the problem: I just finished drawing this very nice looking creature with mspaint. Then as I tried to import it, it turned out too big, then after some setup, too small, and the best for last: then it went all muddy and unclear, you know what I mean...

   Myself, I'm quite convinced I'm supposed to draw a picture size 20x20, but then again, what about Roger? He's merely like 20x50, (or was it the other way around). And if I was to settle with them 20x20, how am I supposed to draw a CHARACTER? You know.. one with those two eyes, WHICH I CANT FIT IN HIS HEAD!! ??? ???

Must be one of my first ones. At least it's one of the silliest ones. I was to find out, that you can readjust the cursor with the right button of the mouse  ::). My worst one must be too bad to be published again.

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=20196.msg246160#msg246160 was also fun. I was going to start scripting, but didn't know where to write my scripts that I had in notepad :D
