General Discussion / Man, it's been weeks since I've played an AGS game...

« on: 06 Apr 2008, 01:33 »

This new DSL internet and Xbox LIVE have been keeping me a busy bee.

EDIT: Ok, I changed my topic to make it better.  What's a good AGS to keep me hooked for a long time. I've played:

Da New Guys
Both Apprentices
Spooks
Every Yatzhee game except the non adventure ones
All Ben Jordans except the new one
Reactor 09
Mind's Eye
Emily Enough
Plurghburg
Nelly Cootalot
Duty & Beyond
The Mystery of Haunted Hollow

Basically, I need an adventure with solid puzzles, graphics and more importantly story. After am done playing System Shock 2, I will replace it with an AGS game, but I need some recomendations to renew my love for these games.

General Discussion / Saving setting on Firefox. I need some help.

« on: 30 Mar 2008, 17:08 »

I can't seem to save my settings when I change them. I want to put a site as my homepage and increase the text permenately. Every time I open a new window, I just get a plain white page. Is there something am not doing right to save it?

General Discussion / iexplore.exe error help

« on: 26 Mar 2008, 18:48 »

Everytime I shut down or restart my PC, I get a End Task window that says it needs to shut down iexplore.exe.

How do I get rid of this? What exactly is it? A trojan? And would a register scan fix this or can I do it on my own?

General Discussion / Anyone know how to get audio from System Shock 2?

« on: 24 Mar 2008, 22:10 »

I downloaded the game, but there is no audio whatsoever. The intro audio cinema works and the game runs fine on XP. It's just that no audio can be heard. Anyone know how I could fix this?

General Discussion / I bid thee farewell!

« on: 08 May 2007, 02:01 »

Well I decided to cut of my online for quite a while. I've been getting like 4 months free online and could have gotten another free month, but I chose not to. So in about 4 hours I leave. I still might pop back in every other Saturday on rare occasion when I use the PC at my local library.

I decided to get away from spending to much time online and more time focusing on my exercises. I am a little overweight yes, but not extremely. I have started last last week on Wednesday and worked my ass off and got extremely sore to the point that I could barely move for 4 days. All is gone now and I can now work out like I used to. Losing wieght will be easy as I got a good metabolism. Heck back then I lost 120lbs within less than a year.

Besides this I also have some other things I need to focus on. And of course all those lovely AGS games I've downloaded. The next time you will see me more often will be when I get DSL. It was nice being here so often with the great community. I can't wait till I come back and look forward to downloading all the new AGS games from the talented folks here.

See you down the road. Cheers!

Hints & Tips / Da New Guys - The coke can

« on: 07 May 2007, 04:54 »

I just beat this game a few hours ago and I was wondering what does the coke can do? The only person you can use it on is that camp dude next to the machine, but it's not nescessary to do so. I am curious to know if it affects the game at all. I even got the two endings. Awesome game by the way.

General Discussion / I just remember I had some Magic the Gathering cards...

« on: 06 May 2007, 05:46 »

... from a long time ago inside this plastic folder with plastic sheet card holders. They are from the first Portal. I am missing a few. I wonder if they are worth anything since they are a bit old. I would like to sell them but I would have no idea how much they'd go for. I did a few searchs and found a very outdated price list. Anyone have a clue if these cards are worth anything?

General Discussion / No download manager seems to work for me

« on: 07 Apr 2007, 00:52 »

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / I was able to run the demo of Monkey Island 1 on my PC...

« on: 31 Mar 2007, 20:08 »

Using XP and it was working well. The next day, the demo won't run at all. How is this possible. I heard XP is not suppose to run old Moneky Island games, but mine did and then the next time I booted it up, it would not work no matter how many time I tried. Oh and I don't even have the SCUMM download to make older titles run on XP.

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / The House

« on: 18 Mar 2007, 06:25 »

I guess this is a point and click adventure game...

Turn up the volume and check it out. Play in the dark!

You know what... its kinda dumb. Random clicking on items several times to advance. If only it were longer and in 3rd person with logical puzzles, then it'd be great.

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / Recommend me some Adventure games from 2000 through this year

« on: 16 Mar 2007, 05:27 »

I'd like to know all the great Adventure games from 2000 - 2007.

The first Adventure game I bought was Grim Fandango (beaten yesterday) and I need another great game. I chose to limit from 2000 - 2007 because I want no problems running the games on XP.

I forgot to mention I'm not into 1st person Adventure games, like Myst. Only 3rd person.

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / About the talkie version of Day of the Tentacle installing using XP

« on: 11 Mar 2007, 19:17 »

I remember running into installing problems with Grim Fandango. That was fixed by putting some missing files from my XP disc.

I would imagine the installing could possibly give me trouble with Day of the Tentalce. Would it install fine, or will I need something else?

I do know in order to run it I'd need that scummv thing.

Also, since I live in the US, will the UK copy run in my PC? I don't know much about PCs, I figured since videogame consoles won't play imports, perhaps the same is with PC?

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / I just got Grim Fandango! YAY!

« on: 06 Mar 2007, 21:14 »

I just got it today and was having trouble in the installation because I kept getting an 16 bit error about MS DOS. I almost gave up on it and finally found a solution to it.

Apparently I wass missing 3 files to run it. Had to put in XP and type 3 commands. I ended up doing this 3 times. I was gonna give up on my last try and I finally suceeded! It worked!

What I played was pretty damn good. Now I gotta call my IP to cancel. Lets see if they give me another free month of online service, if not, this will be my last post for a while. Until I get back online. Bye for now! 

EDIT:

Well I tried to cancel my internet service and they gave me yet another free month. 3 times in a row so far. LOL

I wonder if I can break my record when AOL kept giving me 7 months for free until they finally kicked me out.

Now I don't have to worry about this for another month or so.
