I agree that if you made a pig glow for the sake of it, that's kind of a waste of time in my opinion, and they really should be trying to develop science in useful areas.

However, I can't just assume there wasn't a point to this. I don't understand genetic science in any depth whatsoever. Maybe this DOES help their understanding of genetics. Maybe this was one of the cheapest/least harmful to the pig things they could have done. Maybe doing such a thing as achieving this particular affect is actually ground breaking in scientific circles and will allow them to do much more amazing things.

Until someone tells me they "just did it cause it was funny", I'm not going to assume it was done for kicks. I mean, these are people in a workplace. As fun as it is to assume there are mad scientists out there doing crazy things, I think the majority are fairly normal people that realise they're working towards very important goals in terms of saving and improving lives. I also think they have bosses to satisfy and regulations to follow and they have to submit application plans to their higher ups.

That's so cute If it were me, I would have stole someone else's chicken. Or was it crap chicken?

From what I hear their decline in popularity was helped along by some stupid legal wranglings which meant they couldn't release anything for four or five years,

No shit, really? That explains a lot. It makes a lot of sense, given that almost a whole album of their is dedicated to songs about Tarantino films and The Usual Suspects.

[if (CharID1 != GetPlayerCharacter()) room1 = CharacterControl.GetRoom(CharID1);]

I'm converting a lot of my script over, but now I get a Type Mismatch for the line in bold:

function charCharColDetectEx(int CharID1, int slot1, int CharID2, int slot2) {
int room1;
int room2;
if (CharID1 != GetPlayerCharacter()) room1 = CharacterControl.GetRoom(CharID1);
else room1 = character[CharID1].room;
if (CharID2 != GetPlayerCharacter()) room2 = CharacterControl.GetRoom(CharID2);
else room2 = character[CharID2].room;
if (room1 == room2) {
...etc

Cannot convert int to character. I'm honestly not sure what to change here. Can anyone help?

You know what? I didn't know that. I don't have anything unreleased. Dark Clouds is a gorgeous song though.

Right now, I'm rather partial to Money. One of the things I love about Space is that they sing about things other than love, sex, or any of the other well overdone themes. 'Course, they do those too.

Ah yeah, forgot to mention that one. I didn't like it much at the beginning but it's really grown on me now. Gotta find it at karaoke one of these days.

I don't mean to just start a random thread about a band I like, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding people that share my love and respect for this band. I've always been a fan of their songs, and really got into them a few years ago with another friend. I chose last year to 'rediscover' them as such and I still just adore how original, beautiful and above all, -fun- their songs are.

They had a LOT of success with Female of the Species but that's about it, really. I was always just a tad surprised the public let them go so easily.

Whenever I mention them these days, the overall majority of people seem to have something quite bad to say about them. I mean, I could understand indifference, but recently all I've found is people saying they were one of the worst things to ever happen to the British music scene.

I can't help but be baffled by this.

So, if you're a fan, please do speak up. If you hate them, please let me know why because I just don't get it o_O

Looking at those pics, it's not an issue.

You can move to Africa. They can have several wives there.

Cool You rock then!

EDIT: Just finished the chapter. Aside from the things people have already brought up (not being able to run (though I can see the reasoning, the guy's sickly), guard respawning as you jump over that one ledge, etc), it was thoroughly impressive. I don't care if it's not an entirely original idea, it was done in a slightly different way and was really fun. I was wondering what on earth was going on with the facility, what would happen when you met that awful hulking beast in the gym... when the music stopped and all I could hear was the heart beat in levels 1-9, I had to turn the TV on to alleviate the creepiness. That's something I -always- end up doing in Yahtzee's games though (well, lately. Wasn't so creeped out with O. K.)

I give it two thumbs up, anyway ^_^

2) From a usability standpoint, the controls are a bit wonky.  It wouldn't be too hard to alloaw the player to customise the controls.  (see Kinoko's GoA demo) 

Sorry to jump in off-topic, but were you implying my game -does- allow control customisation or doesn't? 'Cause some people complained about that, but the feature was always there, I don't think I explained it well enough though. Anyway, if the former, thankyou

As for Yahtzee's new game, a big YAY from me!! Always, always happy to see something new from the guy who seduced me over to AGS in the first place (with good ol' O. Kent). I'll be getting this after work.

Yeah, I was really upset it died too. I wanted it to be a shining example of how one-eyed kittens can make it on their own.

Don't you bitch-talk Foster and Allen! My nanna would roll in her grave!

... No, wait, she's not dead yet. Well, she'll cry, then. Cry one-eyed kittens named Cy.

Yeah, imagine my joy when as a child, I looked up my name in a baby name book, only to discover that far from 'courageous' or 'mighty lion' or 'intrepid beauty', my name means 'a knotted cord'.

I'd make a comment about how I wish I could change my first name, but despite the meaning I'm rather in love with my name. I think it's pretty. It also allows for a nice enough range of nicknames.

Walking behind a blue screen? So, you're making an animated gif of a blue screen?

Well said.

I listen to techno sometimes, but I'll say "Pff, techno sucks" if I feel like it. My favourite bands are Queen, Kiss and David Bowie but if someone goes "Pff, Kiss blow" or "Queen and David Bowie, man, those guys suck", I might sent a witty quip their way or insult them casually, but I don't care enough to want to educate them on why they don't get the music. Or, more in line with what we're talking about, someone might say "Pff, I hate rock music". Now, I know very well that's saying you hate about a hundred genres of completely different music right there, and I know that person can't possibly have listened to it all.

People say that stuff all the time. I think as long as they aren't saying it in a really serious way that's actually gonna have some effect, people should be allowed to say things like that without being labelled as 'ignorant' (unless, they're being labelled so in a jokey way).

Wow, thanks everyone for the opinions. In particular, thanks to MC cause that made me feel a lot better about, if I do keep my own name, not feeling like a raving feminist.

I do feel, as illogical as it may sound, a certain attachment to my own name, Clements. You may not think it's a great name, but it's been my name for almost 23 years and I like the way it sounds with Rebecca. My initials have always been RJC. I used to write it on desks and trees. My fiance has a -fine- last name, I have no problems with it - Steinhardt. Rebecca Steinhardt sounds pretty cool to me too, and part of me thinks it'd be really fun to have a new last name. Bit like an adventure, I guess.

I'm still torn but you've all made me feel better about either decision.

EDIT: The one thing I -won't- be doing is letting anyone pronounce me "Mrs Neal Steinhardt". My GOD I'd kick someone's arse if that happened.

Just because someone says "all [blah] is [blah]" doesn't mean they've heard/seen it all... people say that all the time. It doesn't mean they're necessarilly stupid either, they're just exagerrating.

My point, really, was that although I personally don't like people making statements like that when it's clear they haven't explored something properly, I also hate seeing people who are experts on said subject get angry because a lamen doesn't understand the intricasies of the genre. I don't know shit about techno and I don't -want- to understand the differences between all the different kind of music.

Yeah! And considering those campy versions of Batman, that's saying something indeed.

Batman rocks, though ^_^

Babar Babar or Komal Kemal... a situation where Robocop really is a feasable option.
