What if we go even CLOSER?



Aw man, that is disgusting...

My girlfriend's a certified Twitch.tv addict and mentions this a lot, I guess if it boosts the viewer count to have 'Girl Gamer!1!!' as your channel's title  you can't really blame them.
You should blame SOCIETY.

BEST GAME EVEEEEER!

And because Dick Whittington is often shown holding one, these things are called 'Dick Bags'

True story!

I'm hoping the reveal here will be that this is all from an FMV game you've been working on since the early nineties...

Wooow, off-topic but that page really rubbed me the wrong way: the 'epic' slang is clearly deliberately ironic. JEEEEZE, guys.

Assume NOTHIIIIIIING.

Implement it, but implement an other way too. The arrow keys one sounded good.

I'm half black, half Chinese, half otter and I like it RIIIIIGHT in the middle!

Make up a fake name for yourselkf when telling the boss story and have your middle name be 'Turok'. For reasons of smugness.

Yyyyyyyeeeeaaaah!
You're a mandroid!!

That was just adorable!

I always thought Re-Animator was pretty damn faithful to the original story. Just faster and funnier and with a screaming lady.

The team also did a really cool adaptation of Dreams in the Witch House for Masters of Horror

I actually found myself thinking Moon would make a better game than a film due to the whole 'extra lives' thing. It would also give you the option to circumvent a lot of the exposition if you happened to be a player who had, ooh let's say, read ONE other sci-fi story in their lives.

If I'm allowed to deviate a bit from adventure games; I think the mythology of the classic Hammer vampire movies could be weaved into one hell of an awesome open-world RPG. I had the idea while watching Brides of Dracula which contains this perfect little Fallout-style dilemma.

You guys are getting ahead of yourselves.

Before you do anything you have to have the obligatory scene where the protagonist falls to his knees and cries to the heavens "Burger King is DINOSAAAAUUUURS!!!"

Tell him the truth, honesty is the best policy. Explain that you may not be able to trust each other but for the moment he needs you just as much as you need him.

Then kiss.

Let's not turn this into another debate about walking deads (even if your maze metaphor is pretty crap because you can work your way back from a dead end in a maze butyouknowyeah).

Always try going through the vent BEFORE the corridor,

If FPS games have taught me ANYTHING

Oh man, Progz just reminded me of something that's in direct conflict with my crumbling resistance to one-click.

EXAMINE and READ being two separate verbs is one of my favourite things about text adventures.

READ sign
"Trespassers will be prosecuted"

EXAMINE SIGN
"It's decorated with flowers, little smiley faces and a winking rabbit."

EXAMINE BOOK
"It's leather spine looks on the verge of crumbling to dust but some malevolent force seems to hold it together."

READ BOOK
"Ooh! Cupcake recipes!"

I also love OPENING and CLOSING books to switch between reading the cover and the contents. Omnomnomnomnomnominteraction.

Feel remorse at losing your wicked-sweet bone-torch

For the game I'm working on I've basically taken it to mean 'be inspired to spout off a hint by' or 'make a tortured joke about'.

A bit of a leap, maybe. But it sure keeps things more fun than a dude saying 'there's nothing special here' or 'It's a desk!'.

Honestly I'm slowly coming around to the views in the VinceTwelve article that less can be more in terms of verbs and actually kind of have been since the very first Telltale Sam and Max episode turned out not to suck.
