Syberia free on Gog right now.

Does anyone even care? Should I stop?

I care very much. I even cared about you informing us about Watch_Dogs being free on uPlay.
I just don't say thanks every time, because I don't want to end up cluttering up this thread.

As far as I'm concerned, the more free games that get advertised on this thread, the better.

did wonder how he

Ah, Cloud Atlas! I recognise Hugo Weaving in that pic!

Wait, so Cloud Atlas isn't a film that Rick and Morty made up for that one episode!

Do you think it would be helpful to create a game that explains the basics to create a game (that is more elaborate than the tempates for provided by AGS)? is it unnecessary? should I shut up ?

I think Snarky perfectly answered that question. We already have one, but it needs updating.

to the shadow realm.

Very nice, but the walls seem to be incredibly rough. What is it made out of, sandpaper?

[Maniac Mansion Deluxe]

Well there isn't an AGS remake of Monkey Island, which in my mind is completely unneeded, even to use as a series of examples to help you learn how to use the engine. I'm fairly sure a custom made open source game with the sole intention of learning you the engine, would do a much better job at that.

Then of course there's the copyright problem, because I doubt Disney would be happy that people would just be able to download a fully functioning remake of the game without paying for it. Then again, who knows about that one. I don't think Disney even knows they own Monkey Island. But what I'm trying to say is that you can still incur a company's wrath for remaking something, even if it's free, and even if it's used for learning purposes.

This all being said, there is something similar to what you want that already exists. Maniac Mansion Deluxe is a remake of Maniac Mansion for AGS. Although it's quite old now, and I don't think the source code was ever made public. But a lot of the code and graphics were reused on Maniac Mansion Mania, which does provide some open source stuff, most of which has been updated for newer versions of AGS.

Oh, and someone remade the demo of Curse of Monkey Island in the style of The Secret of Monkey Island for AGS. I think that was open source, so maybe you could look around for that.

^Cool pic. What's in the pot?

Thank you. The pot is full of nuts and small, plastic bones. Unfortunately, they seem to resemble chicken drumsticks in the photo, but...hey ho.

They look like the meat you grow on Digimon World.

My Name is Earl?

Hellraiser?

Windows says the latest .txt file where I keep spare keys was created in July of 2015. And it just took me over thirty spins of the mouse wheel to scroll to the bottom of it...

Holy crap! Do you buy every single bundle or something!

Also, while most people would be happy to just fill up their steam account, you'd rather give away the games that you don't want.
You're like a real life Santa Claus that works from Halloween to Christmas.

On The Buses?

That's right, your turn.

I'd go with the first. Isn't the bright spot on the ground a bit too bright for nighttime, though?

+1 The first looks the best.
There's too much contrast in the second one, and the third one is too blurry to make out any of the details.

Alright here's one:

Finding a decent screenshot of this show online is really hard.

I think we should start a new chapter. And have CaptainD add the summary of the latest chapter to the first post.

Chapter 8

It was the best time for a nuclear meltdown.
But Snappy didn't like eating Plutonium sauce without an uranium topping, so he uncorked a bottle of his finest North Korean nuke flavoured vomit with carrot chunks, applying them generously with radiant whip cream and succulent hippopotamus rump steak.
"This hippo meat originated from my wife, who can't stand the pressure of being married to Ol' Snappy here," he claimed.
"I hope she doesn't mind if I eat her." Snappy then opened a secret compartment revealing an inter-dimensional portal in orange and blue gift wrapping, that never was activated.
He then went through the portal, just to find out where it led.
Little computer people looked at the end credits, surprised by the hidden meaning of "No animals were harmed during the making of this sentence".
Strange to think that only yesterday he was recovering from sentence-induced wounds.
Crying, a thing he never knew existed until now.
Laughing, a thing he practiced copiously, albeit with little enthusiasm.
When goats laugh, they usually blow trumpeting sounds from their anal openings while yelling furiously at each other's parents in incoherent haiku.
When goats cry, everything falls apart, literally everything.
But goat tears form shapes nobody would ever want to see described.
Out of the blue AGS cup, came a disgusting smell that was somewhat like rotting skunk or a McDonald's burger.
Snappy took a sip, "gaak! schwaa! blurgh! EEEEEEeeeeeeee..." he cried, melting into a goat-shaped puddle of putrescent, sizzling, multi-colored slime.
The slime then began to take the form of Old Snappy but this time he had mutations, including terrible bulging forearms and an appetite like a goat in heat.
Feeling like someone who could take on a drunk mall Santa, this monstrous Snappy mutation began to rampage through a tulip garden.
Ironically, this garden was poisoned, which made him even more determined to find solace among the trees.
A friendly bird came to warn Snappy of the poisoned tulip garden hidden deep within the past, and he remembered.
He remembered the tumoils, the tumors, and turmoils, tortoises, turtles and terrapins, tortillas, traffic cones, and turgid topaz-tinted tarantulas tearing through the terrain.
This needless alliteration was also an arbitrary agitation, aggravating Albert and Anita, amazingly activating artificial anacondas slithering sideways so skillfully.
Suddenly Snappy sought salvation.

And now onto Chapter 9
