The fat-suit one was hotter.

I really can't get into the comic but...

gnarrghh... Ron Gilbert...

Would I be letting the team down by not buying this? Do I even have room in my life for another episodic game series?

I waited so, so long...
And then I saw it.
And it was good.
And I was very, very happy.

Adam and Joe was so funny this week I made a fool of myself at a bus-stop.
Now that is achievement. I also listen to Russel Howard and John Richardson, they're also very funny but have an irritating tendancy to quote Family Guy in the middle of shows as a substitute for actual content, also (and this is very important) they rarely sing. Adam and Joe do. All the time.

Also, the They Might Be Giants kids podcast is consistantly entertaining; full of the kind of stuff sesame Street had back when it was still cool and, they've stopped now, but The Minstry of Unknown Science comedy sketch podcast had some real gems.

There's also this odd amateur sketch show by a couple of Austrailian kids I watched 'Electric Television'. It's mostly pretty basic stuff, but there's this ONE character; Chef Grulmasora. Honest to God; it's hysterical, pure genius almost out of place with the rest of it with it's sheer quality as well as being one of the most infectiously quotable things I've ever seen. Which is not reat because no-one will know what you're quoting.

Anyway, look them up.

YOU BROKE THE CHAIN OF HOT CHICKS YOU BASTARDS!

I buy stuff off Itunes all the time.
The main problem I see with it that you can't return it or sell it on eBay if you decide you don't like it.

Then again, websites like Last.fm let you sample everything to hell before you've handed over a penny so the chances of buying music you don't like are acrually quite slim.

Sounds cool.
i like the way those photo-collage backgrounds look too.

Some of you people frighten me with your abilities...

My vote goes to JBurger, I love the atmosphere.

EDIT:

Idea: Traveler
Atmosphere: JBurger
Design: Loominous

Functionality: JBurger

You can usually cover the bases with just six or so. That's all that matters really, inbetweens are overrated.
I mean, just look at Bill Plympton

I'm glad the MAGS rules are starting to get a bit more loose and freeing.
For a while they were starting to look more like design documents than guidelines for a competetition.

Very cool.

I just found some PM's from the 11th and 13th of April telling me it's my turn.
Awkward.

Um... If it somehow ended up in my spam fokder then I probably won't be able to find it amongst all the offers for pills and watches by now.

[DUUUDE!!!!]

The 3 happy Zombies return!

DUUUDE!!!! 

A simple one:

Three biscuits, an upside-down sign and a flute.

Did anything actually go ahead last year or was the event cancelled?

The experience of five people paying extortionate amounts of money to go to a near-empty convention would make a pretty good adventure game.

I think a good thing to do if there's a dialouge option that makes an NPC give a character a hint is instead of having the player ask the same question to get the hint again, replace it with a direct 'could you remind of...' kind of option so the player can quickly be reminded of the hint they need without giving the impression that the NPC has forgotten that they've already given you the information.
It's fairly econominal (you don't need to type great passages of dialouge for the 'reminding' answer) and it just makes the game that much richer.

EDIT: The dialouge is the only gameplay element I like about The Dig

Here's my entry.

Righto

I'm sure you'll get used to any changes you have to make.
Until then, let the soothing, not-at-all-ripped-off-from-suggs-from-madness vocal genius of Pat Morris wash over you and be happy: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/DP/2007/04/098_1_Pat_Morris_-_Were_Diabetic.mp3
