I'm thinking they'd be like a combination of URU and Gabriel Knight 3. The player character runs around with the camera either following along or controlled by the player, like in URU, and clicking on objects brings up a list of options, like in GK3.

That would actually be quite a nice interface, I think.

The WORST thing that could happen would be having a camera and walking speed of GK3 combined with the interaction of URU. Eeeeeeeewwwww...

Why was it when I first saw this Superman cover, all I could think of was the end of Gabriel Knight 2?


She's playing a lost Wagner opera on that Kryptonian xylophone, I'm sure of it!

This is just a suggestion, but the outlines are very jagged. If you smooth out the pixels a bit, or anti-alias them, I think this would look AWESOME. And I really like the lock on the door.

It changes the letter "r" to the word "are," "u" becomes "you," and a few others, as well. It just becomes annoying when you actually want to write just the letter.

The Mona Lisa is Italian, not french.

Anyway, you have a really nice sense of depth to the picture. The table closest to the front looks great. I would advise getting rid of the boom-box, though. It doesn't fit in with the "fine dining" look.

Take a look on google image search. You could probably get some good ideas for colours and wall decorations there.

I tend to rant about Canadian Culture (we have one, gosh darn it!) and language.

The new trailer makes me happy. I watched it with a bunch of friends and made a complete fool of myself bouncing around and clapping. I don't think they noticed, though, because they were behaving similarly.

34 days until release!

Hobbies? Oh god.

I read, write (novels, short stories, poems, scripts and songs), act, sing, play piano, collect vintage fantasy novels, collect comic books, collect rocks, study Celtic, Egyptian and Classical myths, listen to music (mostly weird stuff like They Might Be Giants, Arrogant Worms or Lemon Demon, or Celt-Rock like Dropkick Murphys, Enter the Haggis or Mudmen). I sew, cook, and I've recently become interested in thrifting. I do country dancing- we're talking renaissance dances here, NOT line or square dancing. I go to renaissance festivals and until I started getting really creeped out by the baron (head of the group), was a member of the SCA.

Oh yeah, and I STILL manage to have a social life, a job, and get reasonable marks. I just don't sleep.

A Close Shave? Nope. It was only half an hour.

A half hour of claymation GOLD (goldmation?), but a half hour nonetheless.

What if it's American made and not in English?

I.E. Passion of the Christ? We'll ignore that Aramaic and Latin are pretty much dead languages, but there isn't any English in the film at all, other than in subtitles.

Edit: I quoted the wrong part of the post. This is why sleep is good and not-sleep is bad.

Dragonrose, although you are somewhat correct in your statement about the Academies being about forms of film art, i find it painfully obvious that this original intention of the awards has been overshadowed by commerce.

Actually, the Academy was originally formed as a completely commercial venture. The idea was that if the producers gave good actors shiny statues and a nice dinner, maybe they wouldn't strike or ask for pay increases.

Kairus: Oops. I didn't realize that Drexler sang the original cut. So, yeah. Now it makes no sense at all.

And where were Bananaman, Stop the Pigeon and Thomas the Tank Engine?

I think we've been conned.


Well, Thomas the Tank Engine wasn't really a cartoon, now, was it? It wasn't even stop action.

Man, that show ROCKED!

Um... because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science is about ALL forms of film art, not just ones created in the States?

I thought it was a nice song- it just didn't really fit with Santana playing solos between every line.

What I don't understand is why Beyonce sang most of the songs. They got Counting Crows to come in for their own song. And I can understand having Andtonio sing for "Al otro lado del areío," because getting the original singer to come from Uruguay to do rehersals and soundchecks might be a tad awkward. But why did she sing the song from Les Choristes? Isn't it supposed to be performed by a boys choir?

I switched things up a bit, hopefully whoever keeps writing that will be appeased.

I wasn't stating an opinion with the comment "AGS seems to be the most popular." It's a fact. AGS has more users than most other engines. It is more "popular" in that it is used by a greater portion of the populous. It's quality and it's relationship to monkey vomit is a matter of opinion.

Hmph.
