What's wrong with this script? It's driving me crazy...I've been through it over and over and I just can't see it.

The error is:
GlobalScript.asc(69): Error (line 69): buffer exceeded: you probably have a missing closing bracket on a previous line

Truly will be the greatest game ever!

It has made my March 31st to know that this game will be released and will be available and I will play it in the future because it will exist.

Yes.

I don't think I have ever been this excited about music before: http://www.pandora.com/

This website is the future. I sear to God in a few months everyuone's going to want to get an account here. Children, Senior Citizens, That poor shmoe with the same zip code as the random numbers I submitted in my profile to get past the 'US residents only' rule.

It's just one of those great, simple ideas:
A bunch of guys came up with a way of describing music, then they put it all into a big database so...
You type in the name of a song or band you like, and it picks out random music that sounds similar and builds you a custom made radio station. amnd if it ever comes up with a song you don't like; you can heckle it and banish all music that sounds like it from your account forever! Bwahaha!

It's just genius...It will change the world.

here's my station: http://www.pandora.com/?sc=sh147868813412780842
Now show me yours! tee hee!

Tim Schafer did a pretty good job of keeping it all hush-hush. Hre was very careful, very clever to make sure everything was under-wraps.
Unfortunately he was NOT CLEVER ENOUGH! For cautious as he was, dear Mr. Scafer made one fatal mistake!!

Um...in his last blog entry he said he was making a Beetlejuice game...

So how's everyone reacting to this?
I'm hoping it'll combine the sensibilities of the movie with the visual style of the TV show...and...I hope it doesn't star Michael Keaton...

We've just had a BABY!!!

Weight: 300 lbs

Take a look at him here him here!

Actually it's most of my sprites. They look fine in the editer then BAM! I run the game and  all the characters are just blue cups, running around the screen.
What's weirder, I imported a sprite over another and when I ran the game it came up with what the sprite used to be.
So instead of the title of my game, I got an inventory key.

Luckily, I haven't made much of the game yet and I could probably rebuild it pretty quickly with help of the script export feature.

But if there's a quick way to fixthis I'd like to know what it is.

Since I forgot all about this, your challenge for this fortnights comic creation competetition is all to do with the theme of 'responsibility' or 'Alex getting hurt in an amusing way'.
You have two weeks, let's see some entries! C'mon, people! Come on!

No, seriously:
http://www.bugbrain.com/igor/animation.htm

Okay, the theme for this weeks entries is...
Comics about pirates.

At least two characters must have beards.

That will be all the rules set. Draw your comics and post 'em up here.

Recently (I think fairly recently, I havn't really been keeping up with it); the site http://www.lulu.com has started selling CD's.
They've had the capacity to have .zip files you can download for a fee for some time, but no-one seems to really have thought to take advantage of it.

I'm thinking...could this mean a rise in independant games for sale? I don't know what the rates are exactly, they're probably cheaper than cafépress and the option to download the game for a price in addition to owning the CD could eliminate some nasty issues with postage and packaging and such.

Y'see...Unlike with books, where holding it and reading it on paper is infinately prefferable to looking at it on a computer moniter...Downloading a game and installing from a CD both have the same outcome.

Actually...Scrap the CD thing...No-one would go for that...

So...My amazing topic for discussion which I'm 'throwing in there' today is...
'The idea of selling games cheaply through Lulu.com...Any good?'

The Rules:
Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and large collection of 1950's Batrbie dolls; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder, chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall start.

What If I win?: you choose the next scenario and list of items. Then you post it for all the world to see.



Here is your quest: Rescue someone from something.
Here are the only items you can use:
A fish
A barrel
A painting
A chicken leg
An egg
A sword
A rope
A hook
A hammer
A branch
A flower
A net
A rock
A broom
A sock
A tooth
A brick
A portable TV
A gravy boat
An eyeball
A toothpick
A glove

You DO NOT have to use all of them. There's no limit on what characters and locations you have. Now go forth, and have some fun with it for God's sake...

It's fun. The puzzles arn't really too rooted in logic, it's mosty pixel hunting to completely honest. But the graphics and sounds are so fun. How could anyone not love this, I ask? HOW?

While you're not entering this, you also like to consider not entering the Puzzletime. :p

Make speech bubbles happen...you know the drill...

Oookay. I'm PRETTY sure it isn't wrong for me to be here so...here we are:

Greetings, mortal. Welcome to my crypt, within these walls you will find devilishly nasty things pulled straight out of your nightmares and willed into existance by Satan himself.
The theme for this fortnights comic competition is 'Horror'. Interpret that how you will...I'm off to soak my corns...
*Flash of lightning*

I was bored in my Religious Education class yesterday. So I quickly drew this with a biro on one of the many blank pages of the revision booklet....
My friend once had the idea of a God called Bob, so like the artistic genius I am; I pinched it.

As you can see, it didn't quite work. But I liked the idea of a comic about a boy and his omnipotent being. So I re-jigged things and did an intro comic:

Nothing special but I think does a good job of establishing the set up...So I made some more...

The first 'funny' one and probably the most offensive, just to clarify; there's no sex, violence ir swearing in this. Just lots of blasphemy...

My friend Chris wanted me to make a comic that incorporated KFC and eyebrows, this was the best I could come up with...

Sorry, did I say 2 was the most offensive...

Of all the comics I made that day, it was generally agreed that this one and the one after it were the best...

So, there we go. My idea was to post these on the forum, get some feedback and decide whether to make more. But the damn things took longer to scan than they did to draw, so at school today I drew a further 20...I guess they're must be something right about these characters if they can inspire me to churn out that much crap in one day...

So...What do think? What could I improve upon? Why is the sky blue (Seriously, I've always wondred that)?

I was thinking about downloading the demo. Does anyone know if it's any good?

A skeleton
A booby trap
An amulet

At least one of these items must be an NPC

Happy Puzzlin' (and let's try and have more than two entries)

That's the legal age to buy scissors...

THIS WEEK: The Perfect Crime

The Indigo Diamond, theives consider it a Holy Grail. It's not the most valueable diamond in the world, it's just the most heavily guarded. To steal this diamond would be foolhardy to say the least, but think of the rewards...
That's where you come in, you, who has, in fact stolen the actual holy grail and uses it as an ashtray. You are going to steal the Ingigo Diamond and become the theif to end all Thieves.

So, come up with a truly brilliant security device, then think of an equally brilliant way to beat it. I'm going to leave this pretty open, but make sure you include ALL of the following inventory items in solving the puzzle. (yes, you can use your own inventory items too just so long as you use all of these)

Dental Floss
Coathanger
Hotel Soap
Mirrored Sunglasses
Book of matches

Now...AWAY WITH YE!!!
