Don't worry, Robin... As long as you've posted the AGS game on this board, I'll register it... I'll be doing most of the updates in the next week or so...

WTF??? A DG game???

Am I missing something???

Why are people making games about me???

This is just like that Being John Malkovich movie...



BTW, I wholeheartedly support this game for "Best Player Character" in the upcoming AGS Awards!

I've downloaded them but I can't UNRAR them... What are the names of each so I can add them to the AGS Awards reg list...

This game is so cool!!

Imagine how cool this game would be if it had a long room that was 1000 pixels wide...

And the object of the game was to kill a certain amount of ninjas before the time runs out...

Andail, I agree... Reading CSFS's last post seemed very strange...

Especially this line:

It's purely humourous, I assure you... of course, being from England probably helps my perspective a little  

For some reason, it seems a very odd thing to say...

Could CSFS perhaps be...

No, he couldn't...

Nah... I'm just imagining things...

I think the biggest blow, from my memory, was when he wrote a damning article about how stupid the US was... He listed a whole bunch of things, and this kinda upset everyone...

I think people also got sick of his 'I'm going to take over the world' shtick... He did have some funny articles and did make some good games (from a playability perspective), but I think he was a little TOO critical of people...

Isn't Winzip a hacker's tool?

All I can say is this:

THE NEXT AGS AWARDS ARE GOING TO BE BLOODY INTERESTING, AREN'T THEY?

GARDA!

Get ready for another DGMacphee Long Winded Post (Patent Pending)...

To start, I'll say it again, the graphics are great... However I don't buy the 'comment' idea/excuse... Here's why:

Despite the fact that it's a comment, it doesn't make for a very interesting comment... Sure, it comments about the truth of mundane work in a souless society...

But then again, truth is available outside my bedroom window...

It takes 10 mins to download this 'comment' (I'm on a 33.6k)... Now, when you weigh it up, you have a choice of seeing something mundane that's outside your window, compared to wasting 10 mins to see something equally mundane...

It's like people paying $7-10 dollars to go see a movie, and the movie is nothing but this guy loading stuff on to his lorry... Only difference is you can ask for your $7 back, whereas I can't ask for 10mins back...

My point is this: People don't download 'mundane truth'... There's nothing to keep them interested... They go, 'Hmm... wow... yeah... ' and move on...

I don't feel for the main character, I don't care that he's got a mundane job, and I don't see any point to making a game out of it... If it were a game about a man who struggles to get out of the dull position he's in, I'd be interested... But why should I care if the main character doesn't care?

On the other hand, if I were playing Larry Vales or Pleurghburg, I'd care about what Larry or Jake does, and I'm sure a lot of people here do too...

Why?

Cause Larry and Jake have way more exciting lives than I do!

Cause they care about the work they do!

My life is nothing compared to Larry hunting down a killer robot or Jake McUrk trying to stop a cult... They make me say, "Wow that sounds interesting! I'll spend ten minutes or more downloading that, because it sounds worth it!" Both are detecives WANTING to crack their cases... They become involved and I become involved...

Even Captain Mostley RLBAT makes a better 'comment' game, because it's interesting to watch with has a great amount of hidden meaning...

But to spend 10 mins to download something that tells me exactly the same thing I could have found by looking out the window, it makes for a lot of time wasted...

Like I said, the graphics are great and the music is cool... But Helm does have a point, the talents of these guys are misdirected upon this...

I not trying to be negative on this... Just constructive in my criticism... The group has a great amount of potential... I mean, I consider this a prelude to something better, like it's a test/practise game...

Anyway, I've waffled on enough here... I'm starting to sound like Roger Ebert...

Is there any point to it? I mean, graphically, its tops... But as far as gameplay, it's a bit like watching The English Patient...

Ooo, LGM... Howabout Dark Hero Demo? That'd be luverly if you could add that, please chap!

This is going to be sooo helpful come AGS Awards time...
