It's only partly a morality tale but it's meant to more be about following the path you wanted for yourself and not for someone else's cause when it isn't even what that person would have wanted.

Brought to mind the end of "Criminal Law" when Gary Oldmans character throws the case and his law practice to put Kevin Bacon away when he finally realises that he's truly evil and there is no hope of him repenting or even feeling sorry for the murders. hence the morality tale comparison.

Krayy - Just hilarious.  And I can't wait to play Duke Nukem Forever on my Playstation 12.

Ah, the irony of going from a Vapourware project to a canceled one 

[Edited by mod:]

made me think of an underground weapons facility or something similar
it's still a bit rough and needs more work in detail if meant to be used in a game.

Dude, I love this one. I'm a Photoshop noob, so any details on how you did the lighting and worked the layers would be most appreciated.

rock_chick - I'm a sucker for a good morality tale.

Late entry from me...

Dear diary. I finally got that dream job that I had applied for!! My start date coincides with the project announcement and I'm really keen to get going. We have target of late next year, so we should be okay. My friends are SO jealous.

Dear diary. We released some stuff to the media today, and they love it! Front page in all the mags, so we're really buzzing. My friends keep hassling me for some early stuff, but I'm keeping it close to my chest.

Dear diary. We went to the convention and made a HUGE splash. George is really great at talking it up and had the press on tenter hooks. Can't wait till they see the final product.

November, 1998
Dear diary. George isn't happy with the way the tech is going so is getting us to change it. Luckily we can use most of the existing assets and should be ready early next year. Looks like my friends will have to wait.

Easy to port my ass. I told that idiot that all the scripting would need to be rewritten. I just hope the media doesn't hang us for being too late. I'm losing my friends support every day. I found out that Jim had a party and didn't invite "That lying piece of shit".

November, 1999
Christmas cards!! The frickin idiot sent Christmas cards to the press saying we'll be ready by February!! Sorry ma, but I won't be home for the holidays. Jim and Terry are off to Vegas, and I only found out through Terry's ex-girlfriends mother. Assholes.

Jesus, I don't believe this. I was finally getting things patched up with the guys after a year of negotiations and George sent out a note saying "sorry guys, it won't be a 2001 release" on the forums. "Don't worry, the last major hurdle is AI." Fucker. Jim and the guys actually doggy bagged my porch!! Don't they know dog shit won't wash out of suede!!

It's been a hard few months. The guys have disowned me and even reckon that I've been lying about where I work. I emailed them some screenshots the other day, but they just claimed they were Photoshopped. I'll kill George for that "It'll be done soon" comment. Now he reckons we'll beat John to the punch with the new tech. We probably would if the asshole would stop changing his mind.

I can't take it any more. Every time I close my eyes, I get the words "WHEN IT'S DONE" waltzing across my eyelids. George Broussard and Duke fucking Nukem can kiss my ass. There is no damn way I'm going to be the butt of everyones jokes for the next 10 years, so I'm going to take that damn job with EA to work on Ultima X: Odyssey. At least they know how to finish a project!!

Not AGS, but best quotes of all time for me comes from Sam & Max Hit The Road:

"Who are you? Chairman of the hair club for short people?" - Max on meeting Conroy Bupkiss

"Hello little Kitty with a mangled eye...how are you today?" - Sam to Kitty with a mangled eye
