FYI: The writer of this film was a victim of the HUAC blacklist.

The most famous one (to me anyway) was Dalton Trumbo...

Having the supernatural stuff show up at Indy's college is a great new twist, but aren't evil skeletons a little cliche?

A Fist Full Of Spears?

I was about to post this in the Blackwell Epiphany thread, as there's a pretty big bit of info about the game/series in there, but it's not a game-specific interview so I'll pop it here.

[No hint system]

This is kind of getting away from the checklist! Here are two more:

No hint system unless it's diegetic (ie part of the world), like being able to talk to Dead Cousin Ted in DOTT or *cough* Dan in "Time Gentlemen, Please!". All the hints players need should be within the game's dialogue, environments, events etc, without having to include a walkthrough function. It implicitly gives approval to cheating your way through.

If you have a commentary, make a function where you can just listen to them all in a row without having to play the game again. It's bad enough when an action game like Portal doesn't have this, but with an adventure game it's prohibitive. (I nagged Dave Gilbert about this when he visited London!)

"403 forbidden"...

They show up fine on Firefox.

Ah, will try, thanks.

I say, as long as furries aren't actually going out and shagging animals, then all power to them for enjoying and celebrating their kinks.

"403 forbidden"...

It reminds me of this: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/61859/2012671-bfdcf1081fc0f45370999ee62f85e424.jpg

bicilotti, I think the problem here is that you're using "metaphor" incorrectly. That would help differentiate something from being literal rather than it being used in the legal sense. Perhaps "informal" would have worked?

Myself, I would normally assume someone using fraud to describe an act, to be using it in the legal sense, but not necessarily if they are using it to describe a person.

Brrr, I'd be constantly paranoid that they were about to turn into Tim Curry.

If he was in drag and started singing, I wouldn't be put off.

Me neither as long as he promised on his mother's grave he wouldn't tell, but you know what I meant!

I'd like to commission an adventure game staring the box with legs.

veryweirdguy already embedded that game in his post! After a while, it's like the box is staring back...

If I ever meet Brad Pitt, I'm telling him Ben X confused him for Joey Lawrence.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's Michael McKean, Brad Pitt and Christopher Lloyd. Why haven't I heard of this movie?! I thought it would be Johnny Suede but I just checked and Lloyd's not in that...

Spinal Tap?

Damn, that would have been my second guess!

Plus, Vincent Price narrates Vincent (and I chose a grab where a portrait is being painted)!

I'm pretty sure it's not Beetlejuice, but that's my guess anyway!

I think we kind of settled on that, but I'm happy to play hardcore no-searching rules! Next pic in edited post above.

Googling "Vincent Price blond" leads me to... Fall Of The House Of Usher.

Cheater!
But this is indeed correct.

We're allowed to Google search, right? Just not image search?

EDIT: If so, this is my next one, with connection to previous. If not, then oops!

my latest thing for women in clown make-up

As bX1- err...

As bxx41- duh!

That's it, I'm hassling a mod to change my name!
