Bumping it up again cause of the new background!

SHWING!!

Vel, in last years award there was this:

Best Sound Effects in an AGS Game
Winner: Calsoon 2 - Christian Blomqvist, Daniel Macpherson, Courtland Leksutin, Mark Lovegrove, Andreas Slotte, Petter Ljungqvist, and Johan Lindgren

(I never played it with the sound pack, so I assume they were the voices, or maybe just the farting)

Even though it wasn't specifically for speech, so it's still possible to get an award in that category.

personally I don't think there's enough games with voices to warrant an award, but I guess the general interest will decide.

I've changed the rules so that it's only includes sound effects engineering -- no awards for vocal cast.

However, I might change it again to include one voice artist only from a game -- I say this because it's overwhelming and a little unfair to have this big list of nominees for one game as opposed to the single sfx engineers.

But what if hardware really does have that kind of relationship?

I made two hobo sim who lived out in a field.

They owned a black and white TV, and shitbox radio and no pants.

A thief stole the TV.

Then I made my hobos fight each other, then I made them fall in love with each other.

They even kissed each other.

So, out of curiousity, I bought a lovebed for them.

And, lo and behold, they "slept" together.

This got me thinking, if I can have gay hobo Sims, surely I can have HOT LESBIAN SIMS!!

Ten minutes later, my theory was proven correct.

And I've never been happier!  

When writing comedies, I try and think of something that makes me laugh out loud.

I think one of the hardest things anyone can do is try and make themselves laugh out loudly with no one else in a room.

Usually, we tell jokes to each other and not to ourselves, so we laugh less when we think of a joke.

Also, I get all my best ideas while in the shower.

Darth:

I love it when a plan comes together!

Vel:
Depends on whether there's enough interest.

I'll check how many games are talkies in the next week or so and see if there's support.

If there is, it'll go like this -- The company behind each talkie game will select a voice artist for nomination, and the community will nominate three finalists from this list.

However, it's not concrete yet.

Not that I'm trying to dissuade you from your Indy fan game, but have you ever thought about making an original game with original characters and story?

I say that because there's already an Indy fan game in progress called Foutain of Youth -- Also, people (especially artists) are more willing to work on an original project rather than a fan game.

Darth, CJ just IMed me and offered to do it, but if he gets called away on an emergency, would you like to be my back-up?

AGA, that voting link you're refering to is the rules for voting, not the actual voting page.

As for clicking the page's link even when you're on the page in question, that's a VERY minor flaw -- so much so, that's it's not even really a flaw.

But it's good that you're keeping your eye open!

GhostGR: I'd be honoured if you'd do some updated graphics -- I've seen your work and it's great.

Feel free to work on whatever you can and I'll incorperate them into the webpage.

CJ: That'd be great -- When someone volunteers for the voting page, we'll implement that idea.

YOU JUDGEMENTAL PRICK!!!

What is it about people who can't write proper English?

I'm glad you asked this question, DG.

Some people just think they're so damn clever putting a "What is" in front of everything they say.

Sadly, they don't realise that they come off looking like illiterate bungholes.

What's worse that this, though, are those people who try to use some kid of self-referencing humour, like replying to themselves in a Tech Support thread.

In other words, you're a bigger fuckwit than Bruisied is!

Dear DGMacphee,
What is You are a fraud? What is Upon learning your theory (my cat is being attacked by a cat molester ghost thing) I decided to consult the famous psychic John Edwards? What is He said it was not a cat molester? He said it was my dead aunt Mildred? What is She was trying to tell me not to worry about the money (there's a squabble among me and my cousins over her inheritance) and that Mildred loved me very much?

What is You need to lock this topic, and stop decieving good honest people?

Thank you?

Hey all,

Here's the work I've done on the new AGS Awards website -- one more easy to manage and to build upon:

http://www.sylpher.com/AGSAwards

I've still got to do voting information (i.e. registered game lists, voting pages, etc) but this is pretty much how the site works.

Also, I need someone who has web-based programming knowledge, because I need voting pages for nominations and winners.

If anyone would like to help me with this, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks,
DG

EDIT: Also, please tell me if you see any mistakes.

Also, John Edwards is a pansy!

That link's invalid, DG...

Give it time -- Someone will take it eventually.

DG, While the hell did you not put a warning on that link!!?!?!! I have  In School Suspestion now for 8 weeks!

Fine, I'll add a warning and here it is:

Warning, don't look at the above link if you're a crybaby.

Honestly though, if you open a webpage with a name like  goatse.cx at school you deserve your ISS.

I mean, if a friend of yours sent a page called www.ifuckdeadbodies.com, would you open it?

Considering your current situation, I'd say a big fat YES -- Not only that, but you'd probably try to blame it on me again, you sneaky bastard!

Man, it so easy for people to blame their own idiocy on others -- no wonder we have fat people trying to sue McDonalds for making them disgusting lardasses!

Farlander is going to hate this but...

ZING!  

jannar, nono, I mean what if your girlfriend surfs the net and accidently stumbles across this thread?

Shit like this can spread like a bushfire: http://www.snopes.com/love/dating/casey.htm

This might be typical DG cynicism coming through, but isn't it a little risky posting our Christmas gifts on the internet?
