Meh, sherlock holmes is about intellect and i think they have stripped that away from it.

Sherlock holmes was never about action.. Its like having a kung fu Doctor Who.. it just doesnt fit.

what is there to get offended about?

I said i liked their holiday.

I'll celebrate whoevers birthday they like providing they dont change all the pagany bits.

The actual christianity part of christmas is irrelevant. I was more interested in the other side the christmas.

Ha ha, no dont misunderstand me. This isnt about religion. Just Christmas.

I just wondered how important christmas was to people around the world since we have such a diverse community here.

lol thanks for stealing my thunder :p

So is everyone ready to celebrate the birth of baby jeebus? Despite him being born in march ofcourse.

As an atheist people often get confused as to why I even bother with Christmas but frankly i love it. It somehow makes the dreadful weather of the season seem kind of nice.

Even though its dark by 3pm and you cant see your hand in front of your face due to blizzard, it illicits a kind of emotional response because you connect that horrible weather with something nice and warm and fuzzy.

I think Britain has almost avoided the mass commercialisation of Christmas since its still about family and stuff for us. We have no religion to cloud the issue (Alot of british people will say 'Jedi' when pushed about their religion) and we dont have thanksgiving to steal christmas' thunder.

So all in all im pro-Christmas despite not believing in the divinity of Christ.

Hooray for the winter solstice!

Thoughts on Christmas anyone?

sorting by user rating would be a good idea. Since they have quite a large sample size in comparison to the panel rating.

That way it would be useless to inflate the downloads/user rating of your game since the panel rating acts as a normaliser... if theres a game rated 98% with a billion downloads but only has a 1 cup rating its pretty clear something fishy is going on.

I fully support Babars bum.. i mean his idea

His penis is already gold.. Its a genetic side effect of being God.

In terms of production values AGS games cant compete since commercial games are developed on a full time basis.

However in terms of enjoyment and a compelling tale I think I prefer trilby's notes to DOTT.

To say that a 'big budget' game cant compete in terms of the narrative is baseless as far as i can see.

lol.. i didnt do an avril lavinge track.

did you mean someone else?

its the Konami code.. used in alot of konami games.

and i dont care if you hijack my thread... i hijacked the "americans are stupid" thread... :p

..i always forget how big the pacific ocean really is.

a better developer.

When does that have to do with making enjoyable games.

He means developer as in a person who's making a game not just scripting one (sure the dictionary states that it means a programmer).  
Developing the whole game from scratch.  Develop: to cause to grow or expand

On which planet does the dictionary say developer means programmer RT? 

[that]

I didnt feel the 2 cup rating was that unfair.. it seemed reasonable enough after the initial "thats bullshit" moment.

The 3 cup rating seems perfectly justified to me and I don't feel the game has merit to be a 4 cup game by any criteria.

a better developer.

When does that have to do with making enjoyable games. The only thing that matters is if the game is fun. Not if you can script it. Anyone can learn how to script, not many know how to draw or make a good game.

(I'm neither of these people)

sorry 'Dually'.

Are you now going to trawl through the forums looking for places to disagree with me :p

I believe making games is a skill and thus you can get better at it, alright? :p

Even if you are a 'bad developer' it doesnt mean you should stop but it just means you should refine your art.

lol... sorry sir.

Sorry Dually but i dont believe McCarthy to be a 4 cup game. It simply doesnt match the production quality and the enjoyment of the other 4 cuppers

shes not necessarily an idiot.. just ignorant of the facts..

No one is saying americans are stupid.. just very insular.

if you can disable it whats the point? everyone who got less than 3 cups would disable it.

I back Duty and Beyond and Hallway of Adventures (i think thats what its called). Mordalles is excellent.

It seems like everything he touches turns to gold.. EVERYTHING!

Yes, always stupid.

"I think you need to get something else before you enter"
Who thinks that? and why?
The door is unlocked but they cant go because some omnipresence says so?
Bullshit.

Secondly, Khris raises a perfectly good point. This is a basic function mentioned in the manual.
WDYPO is just rude.
