Actually Danzare, you missed on your calculations

Yep, I realized that last night, just as I was drifting off to sleep. 
Thanks for pointing it out.

Animal Crossing? (judging from the resolution it's either the N64/GCN original or Wild World on DS)

Speaking of, really looking forward to the Switch one, even though I barely have any time to play. I sank a lot of hours playing (and enjoying) New Leaf during my Uni days.

Wrong. 
It's NOT Animal Crossing, or even made by Nintendo.

Summary:
Reality-on-the-Norm is a game series where anyone can make a game. This is my installment.

Set in a slightly different dimension to the other RON games, Reality-in-the-Norm follows David Jones at the end of a treasure hunt. See completely different versions of old characters, as well some new ones, as you get to witness a completely different take of Reality.

Please consider for:
Best Freeware Game Created with AGS
Best Short Game
Best Writing
Best Character (David)
Best Gameplay
Best Puzzles
Worst Programming (I'm still amazed at the lack of bugs. Word of advice, improv is ok for dialog, but not for game design.)

Alright, here's one that's a lot harder than it looks.

Also, sorry for it having taken me so long to realize it was my turn. 

Honestly, I like the three votes thing.
But as for ranking them... I don't know if that makes it more or less fair.

Let's say there's six games and two voters.
Voter One chooses Game1, Game2, and Game3.
Voter Two chooses Game4, Game5, and Game3.
In a rank based system, Game1 and Game4 are tied for first place, Game2 and Game5 are tied for second place, and Game3 gets third place. This seems unfair.
In a equal based system, Game 3 gets first place, and the rest are tied for second. This seems fair.

On the other hand, let's say there's six games and three voters.
Voter One chooses Game1, Game2, and Game3.
Voter Two chooses Game4, Game5, and Game3.
Voter Three chooses Game2, Game6, and Game3.
In a rank based system, Game1, Game2, and Game4 are tied for first place, Game3 gets second place, and Game5 and Game6 are tied for third place. This seems fair.
In a equal based system, Game3 gets first place, Game2 gets second place, and the rest are tied for third. This also seems fair.


I feel as though someone much smarter than me has already considered all of this, and has written a thesis about which voting system is the best overall, and how many points should be allocated, ect. But I'm not that person, and as such, I have no idea which is better. 

Black and White 2?

Well this is sad. My condolences go out to his family. 

I see he was making a game called Collateral Jelly, which I presume wasn't finished. It would be nice if possible, if someone reached out to his family and obtained the code etc for his game, and try and make it a more or less complete game and release it.

I don't know if that's something he'd want, but I know it's something I'd want if I died before finishing a project and it had a decent amount made.

Same here. At the very least, I'd want all of the project files to be released, so that perhaps someone somewhere could either finish it off, or at least admire what I had done.
But that's just me.

Space Balls II, based on the new trilogy!

They wouldn't even need to do much. Just take the script for The Last Jedi, and have none of the actors take it seriously. Boom, perfect parody! 
I once tried to describe the plot of that film, and it sounded like I was describing Space Balls II.
From Leia going Superman, Luke drinking milk almost directly from the alien titty, to pink-haired-lady being forced into a kamikaze as soon as Leia woke up. It's practically a self-parody.

"There's literally only one person in the entire galaxy who has the skills to help you!"
*They go to that guy, then immediately get imprisoned for illegally parking.*
*Then someone in the same cell talks to them.*
"Hey, I have those skills too!"

And then of course:
"This guy took over the galaxy directly after Palpatine. Who is he? How did he do it? Well you see... he's dead now. Who cares." 

Even if you love the movie, you've got to admit that it had a LOT of ridiculous moments in it.

I'll definitely have to give this a shot, and see how you made everything look.

Alright, I relented, and decided to look up the title of the game I was thinking about, just to make sure it is that game.
And... no. I surprisingly got the title right. Obviously this simply isn't Harvester. And I thought it was. Darn. 

So um... Phantasmagoria?

Oh, I think I know that game. 
Although I don't remember the name. I could easily find out the name... but it'll be more fun to try and guess it.
Harvester?
Blood Harvester?

[Borderlands 2]

I'll probably make this the last one I ask for.
Can I please have Borderlands 2, LimpingFish?

[Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition]

I feel a bit greedy asking again, but as long as you're offering.
Could I please also have Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, LimpingFish?

Also, thanks for posting your list Click'd.
It almost makes me feel bad that I don't have my own to offer. 

[Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries]

It's been a few years since you've done this.
Should I call you SantaFish or LimpingClaus?

Also, can I have Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries, please? 

Ben, it's Lair Of The Clockwork God.  Is that game out now?   

I can't believe two people actually got it wrong.
I suppose it wasn't as cheap and easy as Ben X thought it was. 

Is it Gibbage?

I was just about to make somewhat of a necropost in this thread, but it looks like someone beat me to the punch. I guess I'm not the only one who has been thinking about this topic recently.

The reason why I'm posting, is because I've found out someone has already done this.
Or at least, there's a paper describing a program that does this: https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/100267/Vara_Procedural%20generation.pdf
Adventure Game Studio is even mentioned at the end.

Congratulations.
As for survival tips, the only experience I can speak from is my little brother. So I don't have much (if anything) to give.

when you are changing his diaper, remember that boys pee all over. 

This. Exactly this.
Keep the front covered, and do a lightning quick swap, like on Indiana Jones.
I've heard enough stories about me as a kid to know that one. And I still remember the time my little brother accidentally peed into his mouth because of that.

Top Gun?

Just, whatever you do, don't upgrade that shot Win7 to Win10

Why not?
Would it completely break the computer?
