No, a fair bit earlier than that.

Looks like Mark Strong.
Shazam!?

Nope and nope!

My pleasure!

That's Ray Winstone, so Tracker?

I will not bother this time to write this text in English, you can do it yourself this time!

I'm afraid Google Translate wasn't up to the challenge, so I couldn't really grasp what you were saying. But I agree with Snarky that "inactive" would be a pretty poor insult, and I didn't mean it as one.

I think the problem there is that the oxford comma is misleading. They should have structured it "he weighs 100 pounds plus half his weight", not "he weighs 100 pounds, plus half his weight".

No, I saw that, you are exactly as inactive as I think.

Wow, another member of the Maniac Mansion Mania community who has barely posted on these forums in years! Welcome back, I hope you'll all stay active and aren't just here to defend this one MMM game from having its contents described!

Wow, impressive!

This whole game looks very impressive, and that train shot is especially dope! How did you make that, it feels like maybe a 3D scene (or at least one with some 3D elements) that has then been 2Dified?

They're allowed to open from the 4th July in the UK. I'm certainly going to be waiting until at least a couple of weeks after that before I go to any, let all the people without the self-control to social distance catch it off each other first so they're no longer contagious by the time I get there.

What you are doing is taking it out of context and framing it as assault and torture.

I didn't frame it as anything, I didn't claim anything about the game promoting mindsets, I just listed some player actions from the game. You're removing context by referring to some specific actions with specific modern connotations and framing them as a generalised fantasy trope.

No one here has judged the game, we've discussed the contents of it.
Considering the developer thinks that

chloroforming a woman, duct-taping her up then shoving her in a chest (and perhaps forcibly kissing her?)

is the stuff of children's cartoons, and called us all over-sensitive for simply describing the contents of the game, I'm not sure relying solely on a developer-led content warning system would be the best way forward.

Yikes. Thank you for highlighting it.

Sensitive people should probably not play this, especially those who got very agitated in the Best Movie by Hitchcock? thread.

Just to be clear, are you saying this game has scenes of sexual assault in it?

That deal is from 8 years ago! You can still get 25% off if you buy the four game bundle, though: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/9230/Indiana_Jones_Collection/

Thank you! We did consider VO, but in the end the cost just wasn't feasible, unfortunately. Also, be warned, these games probably aren't suitable for younger kids - there's no nudity/sex and only cartoon violence, but there is frequent swearing and some dark humour.

[GOG]

Hi all, quick update:

Lair Of The Clockwork God is now also available on GOG and for Mac and Linux. We've also put out a Steam bundle of all four games, which saves you a little bit of money if you don't have the first two yet.

Links are in my sig and I've also updated the OP, so please take another look at the trailers, reviews, links etc!

Damn, should have been sneakier! Yeah, that's from the original downer ending that got replaced by a happy one for the theatrical release.

I seem to recall some references in the show to Rorschach-inspired conspiracy theories, so I think it does suggest the journal was published. Only that because the source was less than credible (The New Frontiersman, and Rorschach himself), and because it doesn't actually contain the most incriminating facts (he posted it before he found out Veidt's actual plans), it never made a big difference. Veidt was still around and could direct a coverup of any loose ends it revealed, anyway.

Yep, this is all correct.
