Thankyou so much! ^_^ I feel a lot better now.

I didn't have this problem wit Cirque. I came up with where I wanted the story to start and finish and that was it. I only wrote in what went in the middle.

I, however, have that problem now with Gift of Aldora. I've made a game, I know how to use AGS, and now I'm ambitious. The project was ambitious at the start but the longer I work on it (heck, it's been a year already!), the more unsatisfied I am with it and I keep having ideas I want to add in.

There's a lot I've managed to get over though, just by being strict with myself. I say, "It's never gonna be perfect, and you don't want it to take 15 years. Just decide on a general limit, and don't extent beyond that limit". So that's what I've done, really. I've just accepted it would be too much work to keep adding, so I'm throwing those ideas in the "ideas for the sequel" pile (whether or not I make a sequel is irrelevant. The thought of doing so helps me limit my work for the game I'm currently workig on so tha's good enough). I think it also helps to have a realistic goal to aim for in terms of how long the project will take you. Then you can work out how long each "part" of the game will take to make, roughly... and stick to it as best you can.

Oh, I didn't even know there was a module. I'll take a look at it, thanks!

Oh, those English teeth A_A

I'm in the middle of watching War of the Worlds, so this will be short post as I need to get back to it, but I needed to declare how impressed I am with this movie.

I was skeptical at first because I'm a big fan of the radio drama/book, and normally I hate remakes, particularly ones set in a different time that change the story around so much, but I have nothing but admiration so far for the way they've made this movie.

The story is good, they've kept the odd reference from the original but understood the movie has to be different in most ways to work they way they've chosen to do it. Lighting is great, sound is extremely impressive...

Also, I'm thoroughly impressed with Tom Cruise, who I usually am not a fan of. Best acting I've ever seen him do, to be honest. He hardly ever plays a different character to his stock standard, "Cool, hit the ladies hero" type.

EDIT: Well, it wasn't without it's flaws of course. Namelessly the shameless advertisement of the armed forced @_@ No wonder there were no Fed Ex od Coke ads in the whole thing, the army had bought up all the advertising rights!

Also, well, you have to be at least a little disappointed with the miracle, white bread, untouched-family-at-the-door ending.

Still, very much a fun movie. I say, "Yay" ^_^

Now, onto the second movie my family sent me for christmas; The Polar Express!

. . .

Actually, I might go watch some TV.

Seriously, esper, I'm falling in love with you If only I didn't have DGs sexy hairy nipples on my mind...

EDITted because I spelt "only" as "noyl". What the... o_O

[ccCreateCommand(1, "MOVE:380,166; MOVE:360,186; GOTO:1;");]

Well, that's good enough for me so I've finally downloaded the new version and I'm playing around with it.

I have one problem which isn't a bug but I didn't feel it was worth starting a whole thread about.

I'm getting the error Type Mismatch: Cannot convert 'const string' o 'string' for the line ccCreateCommand(1, "MOVE:380,166; MOVE:360,186; GOTO:1;");


This is a function of the Character Control System plugin. Is it possible form me to fix this problem myself? Or do I have to try and get the plugin itself updated by Scorpiorus (who I havent seen here in a very long time)?

Hairy? Really? That only makes it better ~

Oh, right.

Well, heck, this is just another line in the long list of proof that I am a retard.

*disappointed at the lack of sexy DG nipple pics ;_;*

Dargh, another one of my favourite childhood comedians!

One of my favourite childhood comics too. But isn't it strange how he's a chidlhood favourite considering all the "motherfuckers" he puts in his routines.

I think that explains it

DG: What was that for anyway? A convention?

[right]

To break down this thread:
* Two people (group A) can't stop expressing how they hate a certain person, and how they're happy he's dead. This is something they repeat plenty of times, along with grave and excessive insults.
* A few other people (group B) tell them that such a behaviour is considered rude and not really appropriate. They ask them to stop defiling a thread which is obviously a tribute to aforementioned late person.
* Group A, for some reason, starts accusing group B for being immoral and not knowing the notion of right or wrong
* This is so silly that you can only laugh at it. Rharpe, you're being so narrow-minded and self-righteous that I regret I ever took you seriously.

Andail, seeing as you chose to ignore my last PM and then continue to write things like this, let me say it here. I explained myself to you, I apologised, I calmed down and I layed the foundation for us getting over this and I thought you had too... then you threw it back in my face in a way that I can only say shocked me. You're obviously still very angry over this whole thing and you're not in the mood for letting bygones be bygones, but I can't just let you keep writing stuff like what you wrote above.

The first statement is just 100% wrong. I never said I was glad he was dead, I said I didn't care. There's a BIG difference there. It just means it doesn't affect me anymore than the thousands of other people I don't know die every day. I wont get into this any further, I just have a problem with you rubbing it in my face and twisting my words around.

I told you I did what I did out of not wanting to see rharpe crusified for what I believed to be a harmless comment, and that the reason I got so angry was because I find it worse to question a person's morality, a real person that you're talking to, over a joke, as opposed to making a joke about someone none of us know. It turns out, as I've said, I misinterpreted rharpe's comments, but that was the reason. I told you this, I said sorry, and you basically, forgive me if I'm twisting your words, said, "Good, I'm glad you're sorry, but I still don't care and I'm not going to get over this until you figure out why I'm angry" and wrote a bunch of stuff that was just factually wrong. You never replied, and then come back here and continue to write things that just exegerrate what happened (yes, I know I can't spell that word -_-) and generalise by placing me in "group A" and every single other person in "group B".

Sorry, but I just feel you're out of line here.

Please let's just put this behind us. I'm sorry, okay?

You can't find porn? o_o ...Really? I'm more than a little surprised.

Do you mean you can't find free porn? Even that's not too hard. Try typing "sex" into google.

Re: The website, I mean my own art website. which isn't what I'd classify as porn but it's basically just buxom young women with very little clothing. Mind you, it's been dead for at least a year, probably two. http://kinoko.futariba.com if you're interested (I haven't looked at it myself in about a year).

Re: Where I went... nowhere interesting. A couple of towns over to a meeting at a "resort" (it wasn't what I'd call a resort but it was better than I expected) for the day.

esper: Cheezus Genius!

Oh yeah, sorry. I totally forgot to limit myself to the 70s and 80s...

Can I add the suggestion that the people to choose should be people who really do play everything, or at least most things that come out. People who have been around awhile, too. I'd be useless because I play almost nothing that comes out these days. It really needs to be people who see it all, and people who specialise in different areas, too.

Pretty useless advice as I can't offer any suggestions as to who but that's my 2 cents ^_^

I hope it was summer!

Wheee, one of my favourite subjects!

When I've got a few more things, my wonderful collection shall include:

Red Dwarf (special emphasis on the first 4 seasons)
Black Adder (special emphasis on the 3rd season - Nobody beats Hugh Laurie as the Prince)
Fawlty Towers
Monty Python (series + movies + specials + How To Irritate People)
Father Ted ("My Lovely Horse" - best song ever)
Black Books
Little Britain
Young Ones
Open All Hours
The Two Ronnies
Mr Bean
The Fast Show

Erm... there are more and I'm probably missing something really obvious. Anyway, I do love a good British comedy ^_^

o_O

I go away for a one day holiday and yet another thread has become a debate about religion. Is this every thread on the internet's ultimate fate?

Well, although I said I'd stay away, I just want to say I'm sorry for getting everyone angry and upon further reflection, I totally misread rharpe's initial post. I didn't even know he was religious! *hides her mountain of porn* (Seriously rharpe, don't go -anywhere- near my website ^_^)

But I don't care. As long as we can agree about the fundamentals of adventure gaming, that's all that matters to me.

If it's the same one thinking of, yes... amazing stuff.

I actually downloaded it at work and just looped it for hours to listen to the music. I'd love to get ahold of an mp3 or something of it.

There's a "part 2" as well but... I really didn't like it as much because the music is a rather jazzy version of Jingle Bells which I found hard to listen to.
