We went to upgrade a sony computer today.  I purchased a new motherboard, and a new processor, along with new ram.  After installing and plugging in everything, i found that the cables that connect the switch and the case leds were all connected, so that i could plug the case into the motherboard, but the pins were plugged into the wrong cables! Now i have to go buy a new case, and pray that sony didnt do anything else like that.  I should have known better 5 years ago when the side of the computer had a big sticker that said "DO NOT OPEN or the warenty is void" 
Anyway, i just wanted to say i think its very scummy of them to do stuff like this, although not out of character.  Sony reccently was discovered with Malware on all of their music CD's.  When will they learn to be as friendly as the name Sony suggests

"After Months of waiting... Solstar finaly release Realm Crafter (a 3d MMORPG engine)
Unfortunately on the October 2nd Launch, Errors with the Online Store, caused them to close the shopping cart down, making new purchases impossible..
Last night again, they reinstitutued a PayPal Online Store, and I downloaded the Tool.  It seems pretty nice for anyone who wants to make a Game...
Check it out at

Note: They do have some issues still being revised... but it's pretty much done."

My older brother on Realm Crafter (moderator of MMORPGMAKER.com).  Anyway, it's a very good game making tool, for a WoW/EQ kind of game. 

Goose Quest 1 demo is ready for download!  I'm about 40% done with the game.  This isn't going to be great, if you can't tell by the title and my attitude.  But it is going to be something to teach me to use AGS.  Plus it might shape up to become a great one, you never know...  I didn't animate the goose yet, but that will be done in the full game.  As of now I'm just too lazy 

Anyway, here's my screenshots.



Here's the demo.  Don't expect much of anything.

Okay... we all know that any type of hero has it's opposite... A character that challanges the hero both physically and mentally.  All depends on what type of story and what type of hero... For Guybrush Threepwood it was LeChuck, for The Prince of Shapir it was Ad Avis, for me it is George Lucas... pompous bearded freak... Shove that lightsaber up your--

Back on topic here...
Who do you think is the most compelling supervillan?  Catagories considered should be appearance, powers, personality, feats of evil (or coolness), and (sometimes) connection to the hero.  This is not to be confined to any genre.  Comic books, movies, adventure games, books, my home-made movie of me attempting to assasinate the beloved creator of Star Wars... (On sale October 15th!)

I hope i'm not misunderstoon... I mean ANY villan.  Ever.  Anything you can possibly think of that has done something evil and deserves to be crowned the best supervillan ever.

My first and favorite room...
(my older brother made it for me on Photoshop)




Next is the intro room, i made on Microsoft Paint...



The inside of the main character's house, made with The Gimp.



The game is about a goose who's a superhero to the other ducklike animals.  He will have to destroy several monsters with simple quests and eventually an evil giant villain.

I'm new to AGS forums, and I figured it might be a good idea to learn a few things with programming by making my own game.  I'm not making anything too complex, but this is the first picture of the main character, a superhero goose (don't ask me why, that's just how it is).

My older brother made the picture for me, as well as the first room.


It was made using photoshop and a basic shape made on microsoft paint.
There's another picture of a capeless goose, but I don't have it with me right now.
