Very cool.
Thanks!

On a lighter side, though. My roomate made fun of me, and said he'd never been in an accident, so the next day someone rams into his car.

"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall down an open manhole cover and die."

I didn't see that one coming.

The only thing that i'm thinking about, what do we do when someone says "is the pope polish"?

I'm hoping they elect a bear as the new pope. That would really confuse things.

It's a fluid walk cycle, but you'd expect that from a 3d package...
I think it could do with more knee bend and lift - he looks like he's on one of those ski exercise machines.

Surely he can just claim on his own insurance (the uninsured driver clause). Since he's not at fault, it shouldn't (hah!) affect his premiums.

The film is getting a slating, too.

Hardly... 75% on rotten tomatoes isn't what I call a slating.

Went to see it last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's not supposed to be deep and meaningful like From Hell. Just highly entertaining.

As for mentioning Miller and Moore together, I'd say that was perfectly reasonable, in certain contexts. They're both doing interesting things with comics. They don't have to be clones.

If you don't like it, sucks for you!

Since it's no longer April Fool's day (in yabb time) I think we can safely call *bluff*.

Pff, if you want grammar policing, I suggest you look up the proper meaning of nemesis.

I suggest you both look up the meaning of grammar.

Right now my nemesis is hail - I bought a house a month ago and a storm of two inch hailstones just wrote off the roof.

Awesome!
Everyone should switch to Wintermute, now!
I heard AGS was going shareware...

Interesting issue!
Thanks for the upcoming news "warning"

Most of them you can't download, they go to a page not found site, and the rest of the site isn't working either.

Kind of ironic coming from a user whose avatar is a file not found icon.
I wouldn't say that the site was rotting - I just tried to download the top ten games and they're all available.
The forums are usually unusably slow unfortunately.

Have fun in RotN!

Since we're plugging...



Big Cat Studios

Not an entry since it's more of a Photoshop munge than a sprite. Also, there may be more than two blues in there - it's difficult to tell with Elements.
I needed to do this for my game, and figgered I'd post it.

Yes, that sounds pretty good!

Is working (slowly) on

rep_ex_always is called during speech.
Seems simple enough...

Code: ags

int turnOnVolumeGui = 0;
int turnOffVolumeGuiCounter = 0;

function rep_ex_always()
{
  if (turnOnVolumeGui == 1)
  {
    turnOnVolumeGui = 0;
    GUIOn(VOLUME);
    turnOffVolumeGuiCounter = 3*GetGameSpeed(); // 3 seconds
  }
  else
  {
    if (turnOffVolumeGuiCounter > 0)
    {
      turnOffVolumeGuiCounter--;
      if (turnOffVolumeGuiCounter <= 0)
      {
        GUIOff(VOLUME);
      }
    }
  }
}

And similarly for TEXTSPEED.

I wouldn't worry about Splinter Cell. They don't have a copyright on "Chaos Theory" after all.
For everyone complimenting the music - read the name of the midi.

Well I watched it, and I thought it was great.

Evil, is Red Dwarf really as popular in America as the DVD commentaries would have us believe?

Red Who?
It's on BBC America occasionally, but hardly anyone watches BBC America.

Pick one. Do both. Do whatever makes you happy.
The worst that can happen is you don't win - and that's not what these competitions and activities are about anyway.

Damn you Ubisoft!
Another series ruined!

I love the name of this game.
I totally agree with Candle that the rooms looked better before the textures.
