Edmundo: Well done ^_^

Dude, I have never said "lol" in any manner but jest or sarcasm. I also capitalize the first letters of the sentences that I write.

That said:  :'(

I think that through all the wonderful things about me, three points stand out above all the rest.

1. My womanliness.
2. My love of Japanese RPGs.
3. My charming, often witty, often deep and meaningful hidden amongst simple and innocent sense of humour.

These are what I put on my resume anyway, but it's really my own personal opinion. I've been told by others that my shoes are usually pretty good, too. Coming in at close 4th would be having all 10 fingers, intact, all covered in skin. Rather proud of that one.

I think it's your own loss if you can't get past your self-hatred through me problem to truly experience my awesomeness :/ I hope we can begin to mend the bridges.

(...by which I mean the metaphorical bridges of friendship. I am implying they were metaphorically burnt, or broken in some way)

But you all wear those fluffy, tall hats and do that it-looks-like-I'm-sitting-down-in-mid-air dance, right??

Okay, well let me see if I'm in the ballpark here.

You're angry at me over some ancient thread on which I made a comical post to some guy about having fun with a pretty girl, after which you, to me, overreacted insanely. Right now, I'm wondering if that's cause you had your heart broken by some girl who had her fun with you during teenage years. Since then, you've made it your mission to be an arse to me, whereas I had no idea why until now, and held no ill-will towards you and still don't except that I'm annoyed that you're so angry at me for something so dumb.

If that's wrong, I'm sorry, you -will- need to spell it out to me. I probably -won't- find out in time, I have no idea what that's even supposed to mean.

EDIT: The comic Unilin posted in that thread is really funny XD I'd forgotten about it.

Sorry, let me rephrase - Huh?

Or, "Why?"

For what?

Like I said, still a little drunk. So... what -were- you talking about then? You'll need to spell it out for me. I was under the impression we were joking about cats.

I don't want them to get a taste for it. If it were children, sure thing. But I don't speak cat so I can't give them any advice or warnings, so it's best to let them live out glorious lives of sleeping, eating, cuddles and playing with toilet paper rolls.

Oh please come kinoko, it would be nice to have another Australian/Brisbanite to talk to about aussie things like beer and women...

Awesome

wait... J/k.

Aww, what?

I'm still a little drunk this morning (mad, mad, insane fun at a teachers party last night/this morning), so I'm afraid I didn't read everything people have written, but...

I am bisexual, and I have been my whole life. I grew up in no way steered one way or the other, or with any gay influences as far as I can remember. I didn't even know what gay or bi -was- when I first started having attractions to boys and girls. I soon realised the girl bit was rather taboo but thankfully when I grew up I realised it was okay and now I'm very happy.

I don't care what theories people have about it. It's the way I am, it's the way I've been my whole life, and I never chose it, but I like it.

I know it's not that clear cut for a lot of people. I think there are many people out there who are in more of a gray area but I know that for me and hundreds of thousands of other people, it's very clear cut and natural like that.

The end.

P.S. Dunno about males but sex for female cats is AWFUL! I'm glad I have two female house cats who will never experience it.

Well, uh, considering I broke off my engagement last week, don't reserve a place my my future husband (even if I hadn't, I'd still be coming alone. This is really just a very-far-out-of-the-way stoppover on my way back to Australia from Japan)

I've met quite a few Brits over here and they're all pretty different. Some are the lads, wif deir strong accent, like, ...and some speak in a very proper way and are quite reserved. One of them, I swear to god, is so Hugh Grant. I hate Hugh Grant yet this guy's really awesome and me and another American guy and about half my students have crushes on him. I quite like them all on the whole, particularly the "lads" though it did take me a couple of weeks to get used to their humour.

Whoa, hang on.

Spain?? I really wanted to go to Spain this year.

August?? That's the month where I have no work and will be bumming around Japan waiting for my visa to run out.

Can I come? o_o

It's probably just me but I always thought the violence icon looked a lot like a sex icon, if you get my meaning. Doesn't quite look like they're shaking -hands- to me...

Anyway, the mouse over thing never worked for me either so I agree that it would be a good idea to redo them, as neat as they are, just so they're a little clearer. Progz' icons are nice Perhaps if we want to be PC, we could have not just a male and female symbol, but a whole bunch all connected like a bunch of keys on a key-chain, kind of throbbing together in a sultry way. Maybe even some that have both the arrow and the cross on the same ring, for any game that uses hermaphrodites!

Aww Poor guy. I LOVED The Last Unicorn! I don't have any merchandise though.

yoda: Me and my sexy underwear model girlfriend are against you too. So ner.

Okay, I'll say this again.

yoda, if you want any respect here, you might try getting rid of your attitude. People will give you crap for threads like this because you -should- have thought before you posted, and you -should- have checked the sticky threads. Above all, you -should- have read the "How to post smileys" etc link.

Just say, "Whoops! Sorry, I didn't see those things before. Sorry guys, I'll think before I post next time".

I might also point out that people -did- help you you here.

[modify]

Seems I do one of these posts every few months.

Okay, I have some advice for you yoda and it's up to you whether you listen to it.

Firstly, I took a look at your Games in Production thread after reading this thread, and I think that while people were corrent about your art being quite low quality, it's your right to make any kind of game you want.  People have the right to tell you they think it's a bad idea, but you have the right to make it anyway if you like. Making games, no matter how crappy, is good practise and you will only get better and better. I encourage you to follow the game through and finish it. Learn from it, have fun with it, and then come up with a better idea the next time.

If you want to get along with people in these forums, you're going to have to change your attitude though.

Firstly, don't take jabs at the moderators. Particularly Darth because he does a -wonderful- job of keeping the Games in Production forum in check and if you knew him probably, I'm sure you'd like him. It won't earn you any respect and you'll never win. The moderators here are moderators because they're mature, know the board well, have been here a long, long time and people respect them. If you don't like something a moderator has done, the mature thing is just to swallow your pride and take it.

Secondly, I recommend you cool off your posting until you've viewed the forum for long enough that you know what kinds of things belong in which forums. Don't try to tell me you know now, because you　clearly don't.  It will take time and patience, but eventually, you'll get there! Just try to restrain yourself, watch others and learn. Don't double post (modify your original posts). Ask for art advice in the Critic's Lounge.

Also, I highly recommend you don't just take shots at other games. You're never going to earn any respect by saying, "These famous, well-liked AGS games have crappy art so it's okay for my game to have crappy art". People aren't going to take kindly to you saying these successful games have crappy art. D. Duck of course is an exception because that's the style it was purposely trying to do and as people have pointed out, it's a joke that's only funny once in a while.

My final piece of advice is just to calm down, work on your game by yourself (get help in the Critic's Lounge by all means) and do it FOR yourself, learn from it. Don't start new threads for a bit, just read the forums for awhile and learn how other people behave here.

I guarantee if you can take my advice well and ignore any mean comments people may throw at you (just in case, not saying that's already happened) and act maturely, you'll eventually become a respected member here like everyone else.

I just started playing, and I -LOVE- the game so far!!

Edited because I'm an idiot.

2nd edit: I just realised I never commented again after finishing the game. It was excellent!! One of the best games I've played in ages! Extremely well polished, funny, good puzzles, the art style was great and the music was really nice. I loved that it didn't drag out and yet it was long enough for you get to know the character well enough to really appreciate that gorgeous ending.

I think it's a great idea, and I also want to push the big red button
