I'm more newbie than ALL of you, I joined 20 DAYS AGO!!! Beat that, crazy animal people!

Mission:
•Steal the Indigo Diamond, DUH!

Guard specs:
•Lots of guards
•Bottomless pit with spikes on top of both sides
•Motion detector
•A lock, just because
•Diamond frozen in a block of ice in a room at freezing temperature

Materials:
•Dental Floss
•Coathanger
•Hotel Soap
•Mirrored Sunglasses
•Book of matches

Solution:
•Lots of guards:
Talk to the guards. Choose option "Look behind you! Someone's trying to stealÃ,  the diamond!" Since they can take no chances, they turn around and take a good look. Meanwhile, use the soap on the (conveniently) tile floor. The guards turn back around, slip on the floor, and get knocked out. One of the guards has a flashlight; take it.
•Bottomless pit with spikes on top of both sides:
Use the coathanger with some of the dental floss. Throw this crude grappling hook to the other sides, where it catches onto the spikes. Swing on it to get to the other side; be careful to avoid the spikes on your side! You manage to grab the coathanger, but not without some of the plastic coming off to make a sharp end on the part you hang.
•Motion detector:
Put on mirrored sunglasses. Walk past. The motion detector sees its own reflection, so nothing happens. That was simple.
•Lock, just because
Use the coat hanger with the sharp end on the lock. You manage to pick the lock in this fashion.
•Diamond frozen in a block of ice in a room at freezing temperature
Take the special mirrors on your sunglasses off. Then, drop the book of matches and take them all out. Use the flashlight on the (now normal) sunglasses. Use this thingy on the matches to light them. Put the matches on the ice block and watch it melt. Take the diamond and stuff it in your shirt. Now, go back, doing the same thing with the motion detector as well as doing the same thing with the bottomless pit that you did before. Then, once you get out of there, run like there's a three-headed monkey behind you!!!!!!
CONGRATS! YOU STOLE THE INDIGO DIAMOND!

[Awesome!]

The demo is now available.

Awesome!
Holy Crap!!!
Great Scott!

Go check it out at the top of the page!

Poop why dont you go to some other forum where people actually enjoy talking to you?

LEts all second that.

Nobody enjoys talking to poop743, he's just an immature troublemaker.

Anyway, I got:

A DVD of the first hundred Strong Bad Emails (monetary value not important)
Another DVD, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King extended edition (must have cost a lot, but who cares)
ANOTHER DVD, the Star Wars trilogy (50 credits )
Books: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events #4 and #5,  some books about building the Pyramids and a cathedral, and also a Ripley's Believe it or Not thingy, plus some gift cards for Barnes & NOble, (obviously) a book store. (priceless)
Some shirts, including a nice green one (probably worth about $20 AT THE MOST)
Time with family and friends (even more priceless)

What I got BEFORE Christmas:

Time to watch SEINFELD RERUNS! YEAH!

This is my new game, Meaning Quest. It's about a mildly cynical teenager whose name is not important trying to find the meaning of life.

The demo is available here: http://http://homepage.mac.com/daved5/downloads/meandemo.zip

Featuring:
Not-so-good graphics
Meager lip-sync
Ripped music (MIDI)
Wry humor
A (ripped) TrueType font

Screenshots:





Story: 65%
Music: I don't really know, but since none of the music so far is mine, I'd say 100%
Graphics: Barely 10%
Puzzles: Barely 20%
Pizza: What the #%*@& is pizza?

Count me in on the tales!

*Gets the marshmallows, the crackers, the chocolate, and the PICKLES! Pickles: a food for EVERY occasion!*

[5 HOURS LATER]

no

Are you sure?...

5 HOURS LATER

Well, then, the winner is...
EEEERGH, this stupid envelope wont open!!!
RRRRRRIP!
The winner is... uh... something-tain N-something...

OK, OK, the winner is captain Nemo for his relevance to adventure and his superior hilariousness. The runner up is DragonRose for second-funniest cartoon and Homestar Runner reference.  Go CRAZY!

Well, it's the 22nd, the last day. Are there any last-minute entries?

I don't see much wrong with it at all. I mean, so it's limited and stuff, but it's a pretty good program for a freebie. It's all I use. Anyway, anything with more options would probably make me dizzy with confusion. If anyone has a different opinion, I don't mind, post it here anyway! I'd love other arguments. So, what's your opinion?

MAC = POS

Seriously, I wouldn't touch a mac if my life depended on it... They are only good for one thing and one thing only, heavy graphic/video editing... other than that they blow.

Heathen.

No, just kidding. Just as long as you don't LOVE Windoze. Those are lost hopes.Ã,  Of course, one thing Windows does have for it is that AGS actually runs on it.Ã,  Mac porting's not gonna happen soon (and actually having it happen at all is wishful thinking).

(Side note: virii was a pluralized term made popular mainly by 1337-slang types, it circled about in hacking/coding circles for awhile but was never actually a real word)

Well... you DO learn something new every day.

You know there is a cure for virii (plural for virus-ya learn something new every day ): it's called BUYING A MACINTOSH. It may be a big investment, but it's worth it, my (well, technically my dads) never gets viruses (I mean, virii  ). Since there's no way you can be without AGS, you'll need a copy of Virtual PC, though. *sigh*

But still, it's worth it, and you should do it as long as you're not some sort of starving poet or something. Just save up lots of money, and then you're good.

[Dragonrose, that is funny like the dickens.]

Dragonrose, that is funny like the dickens.

Hee hee! For a second, I thought you said "funny like the chickens!"

I have decided to make my puzzle answer Radiant-style (i.e. like a text adventure).

>open present 1
It's rope... It says "100% MAGICAL ELVEN ROPE" on it... Yeah, right...

>open present 2
You take what appears to be a power saw from the box. Weird.

>open present 3
A wheelbarrow. How DID it fit in that box?

>talk to Santa
All Santa will say is "HELP ME!"

>take logs
They're too heavy.

>use wheelbarrow with fireplace logs
You are too weak and fragile to put logs in the wheelbarrow on your own. You should really have enrolled into that exercise program.

>use fireplace shovel with logs
Using the shovel, you easily grab some logs.

>use fireplace shovel with a log in it with wheelbarrow
You easily put the logs in the wheelbarrow.

>take cookies, milk, plate, tablecloth, and christmas lights
You have no idea why you should, but you dump these items into your wheelbarrow as well. The tablecloth is sticky with cookie frosting.

>throw plate
CRASH!
...
Why the #$*!%&# did you make me do that?!?!?

>go outside
You are outside. Whoop dee doo.

>go to roof
It's too high up.

>cut logs with power saw
You saw the logs into lots of wood.

>use sticky tablecloth on lots of wood
You use the frosting to stick the logs together and make a crude ladder.

>put crude ladder on roof
After much work, you lay down the crude ladder on the roof.

>climb crude ladder
What about the wheelbarrow?

>drop wheelbarrow
Done.

>take milk, cookies, and christmas lights out of wheelbarrow
You still have no idea why to carry these around, but take them anyway.

>climb crude ladder
Carefully, you climb the crude ladder. Luckily, you're thin enough not to unstick the frosting. You are now on the roof. There is a chimney here, Santa's hand is sticking out.

>tie "elven rope" to Santa
It's too short to reasch.

>tie Christmas lights to Santa
It's too short to reach.

>tie "elven rope" to Christmas lights
You make a long rope.

>tie long rope to Santa
This is, thankfully, long enough.

>pull long rope
Once again, you are not strong enough.

>look at cookies
100% Sugar Brand Cookies. Ingredients: Sugar, flour, water.

>eat cookies
You never eat cookies without milk. That spoils the deliciousness.

>dip cookies in milk
You dip the cookies into the milky goodness.

>drop milk
OK.

>eat milky cookies
You eat the cookies and get a sudden sugar rush.

>think
You're too hyper to think.

>pull long rope
You do so with your newfound energy. You manage to get Santa out, and he thanks you. He gets on his sleigh and shouts, "Merry christmas to all, and to all a good night!" You immediately make an early New Year's resolution to make your chimney bigger.

THE END!!!

actually this is full version. There is no sounds and music, but its a full.

We beta-test it and report bugs to Yahtzee and he corrects them. When he is satisfied, he will add sounds and music and will post it for everyone's downlaod as a full version

Wouldn't it be COOL if there were about 50 thirty-to-fifty second music clips, and if there is no music playing (this would be not having the music loop, of course), it would check to see what your stats are (your "mood", if you will) and then would play music accordingly? Please, please relay this idea to Yahtzee.

Is that better? Einoo, do you see my image or still not?
Sorry for previous blurry version.

Yup, I can see it now.

Uh, how about you just run a script on the @S that checks if you've talked with them before? DUH!

So one person tells a riddle, and another person answers it and gets to do the next game. We COULD vote on it to put it into the Game thread, but it's not neccesary. I go first.

If I have all my letters, this may make oyu pull a muscle.
If you take away my first letter, I'll move you in a hustle.
Remove my second letter, too, and I fall from the sky.
So could you figure out what exactly am I?

I know this is very awkward and bad, but whatever. can you figure it out?

If the entries keep rolling in at this rate, this will be hard.

captain Nemo, I can't see yours.

This is our new pic. Imagine the cold, harsh landscape of some city that's obviously cold. Two guys are walking in Eskimo suits. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tell me what they're saying.



You have to download this pic and then fill in the bubbles. That's it, no fancy stuff required.

So, who's up to the challenge?

Right lets go to business,

Viktor, Eggie and Gilbot V7000a i like yours alot but the winner is................................................................................................
