Excuse the double post
No, wait, don't.
You're a celebrity?
The Fatman Website isn't working.
Hm, I can't really think of anything to say
And you run mittens? I didn't know this. I just realized I'm merely a 17-year-old with extremely high hopes. Oh my god. I thought you were all like, 17 too. How old are you people!? I mean, you, I mean, what? I didn't realize there was this WHOLE OTHER THING Going on on here, with the Mittens, and the music, and the whole THING, it's like, oh my god, a real gaming community... with real games! Oh my god. I'm so unbelievably excited.

I prolly will nee I'm such a moron sometimes, of course I'll need music  : My stupidity amazes myself... Uh??? Anyway... bearing in mind I don't know anybody terribly well (Only been here two weeks at most) can you send me samples? Yufster@yahoo.com (The email is my profile is real, but I never check it as I use it to sign up for services and little more ) HOLY SH!T!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!? *has looked as S7E's page*

Dave, is your name a cross between Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman, and is that a little pic of Dave Grossman in your sig, or is it all just one huge, weird coincedence? Of course it isn't.

What the HELL am I on!?

If I was a lesbian....

This is an interesting question, and I also would like to know what programs they used and how they went about creating the backgrounds. However, very little information is supplied. I tried emailing the people that worked on MI1 but they're insane! By they I mean Tim Schafer.

It's kind of hard to figure out from the credits, as they're not the most reliable source of information... there are 3 people listed under Additional Artwork, and 1 person listed under additional design... and Everybody Else at Lucasarts listed under Additional Additional Design....

MI1

MI2 would appear to have a significantly larger team, which makes sense as it's larger, has more animations, backgrounds etc.,.

The MI1 team is very small, with most credits going to those at the start of the game, and most of the ending credits being in-jokes. In reality, probably only four of those people actually worked on the animation and backgrounds.

MI1 being earlier (and having crapier graphics) has less people. I would halve the number of artists working on MI1 for every few years you go back... until you start getting 0.14 artists working on a game....

For Maniac Mansion, I would guess only 1 or 2 artists. The backgrounds were practically not shaded and stuck to quite strict perspectives. For Sierra games I would say the same (Early ones such as KQ1 I mean)

ROTFLMFAO! SHE WANTS TO NAME HER DOG GUYBRUSH! SO DID I!!!! You know the way Elaine has a dog... called Guybrush... coz he's silly and helpless!!! Only... technically it was my sisters dog, and she called it.... Yufster

I am dead serious.

[I have finished all backgrounds for the "Cliffville" section, and I can tell you right now I hate rocks, I hate everything about them, I hate drawing them in Dpaint and I hate colouring them, and I hate, in fact, everything that surrounds a rock and the space between two rocks. However, I did, during the course of creating Cliffville scenery, get to draw several blades of grass. These blades of grass alone have stopped me from going quite insane. Their little green faces laughed and smiled, and their little voices tinkled in my head like celestial pee, "Don't listen to the evil rocks, they're just trying to scare you". In other news, did you know that rocks can be various shades of blue and green? And some of them have little trickles of red running through them, like THIS:]

Update BTW every time I update I'll be updating it on the main page as well, but you know, whatever, so you know when I update... and.... yeah.

I actually researched rocks for this game.

You see? Isn't that amazing? I've had plenty of time to study my little blue, red, green and grey friends over the course of a week. Before our unfortunate differences while colouring the Mountain Top background, we laughed and danced together all day, sharing our sweets and making daisy chains.

Now let me teach you a little something I learned about rocks this week.
We'll start with the above picture.

The red line shows a VEIN. A vein-type deposit is a fairly well defined zone of mineralization, usually inclined and discordant, which is typically narrow compared to its length and depth. Most vein deposits occur in fault or fissure openings or in shear zones within country rock. Of course, my little red friend occured on top of a mountain! How unusual. However, there is no countryside on the edge of a cliff. If there was, the cows would all fall off the edge! Ha ha! Now, let us continue:

A vein deposit is sometimes referred to as a (metalliferous) lode deposit. A great many valuable ore minerals, such as native gold or silver or metal sulphides, are deposited
along with gangue minerals, mainly quartz and/or calcite, in a vein structure.

Now for some news about the game: It's coming along just great.

Yufster Out.

My eyeballs are itchy.

I want to scratch them.

Jesus Christ, I think I've damaged my eyes badly, I can't see properly and now they're giving me a headacheeee. Whatever you do, don't look at that goddamn picture. It's evil.

My eyesss are in soooo much pain

Here's how to do it, go cross eyed until you can see the third picture out of the corner of your eye. now REMAIN cross eyed but CONCENTRATE on the middle picture. Soon you'll sort of FIX on that picture so you can see it in mind boggling 3d... effect.

My eyesss  :'(

It really, really hurts your eyes.  :'( :'(

Gasp, you RACIST!  Now, I must go and eat Frogsssss legsssssss and nibble my snails. Would you like a gulp of my wine?

There were two sock puppets in MI4, and duct tape in my game although not officially.

You can't make it work? I can. My eyes still hurt but it was weird. You have to sort of go cross eyed but focus on the picture, it's hard.

He won't stop talking about Love. I mean it. He keeps saying, "Let's talk about you loving me" and stuff. He's scaring me!

Doctor Sbaitso molested me! Doctor Sbaitso molested me!
EXACT conversation as follows!!! ( I still have the window open and the voice works fine for me ...)

Doctor Sbaitso is in CAPS

>your voice is retarded
MY VOICE IS RETARDED IS NOT OF YOUR CONCERN
>So, tell me about you, doctor
WE WERE DISCUSSING ABOUT YOU, NOT ME
>Okay, what do you wanna know?
WHY DO YOU ASK THIS QUESTION?
>Because you... wanted to talk about me?
DOES THAT REASON EXPLAIN ANYTHING ELSE TO YOU?
>...Are you messing with my head?
PERHAPS IN YOUR FANTASIES I AM MESSING WITH YOUR HEAD


LATER IN THE SAME CONVERSATION:

>okay
>TOO LITTLE DATA, SO I MAKE BIG
*He fainted*
>Okay. Bill Gates.
REALLY? DOES THAT BOTHER YOU?
>No, I like Bill Gates.
JUST NOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT COMPUTERS. I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT.
>I like drawing
WHAT COULD YOU DO TO HELP RECTIFY THIS?
>No, I mean I LIKE drawing
I WOULD LIKE TO SWITCH BACK TO THE TOPIC ABOUT LOVING ME
>No. What? Uhh... I love you
ME TOO


SMART ASS PROGRAM


Priceless - "I am Sbaitso. Don't question my intelligence, it's fake"

>You're cute!
I THINK YOU ARE ALSO CUTE!


I'm falling in love with a machine!

My eyes are bleeding, I think I should close them.

WTF?! Uh, anyway, yeah, look at that. Look at it cross-eyed and you'll see a third picture form in the centre that's 3D!!! Uh wait, you have to scroll down the page a bit to find the picture.

Jesus christ, my eyes are bleeding.

YOU BEAUTIFUL THING!!! Where?

Irish, in Ireland they pretend to talk politics but really they just redirect cash flows and tax intakes to their own bank accounts. I still don't know what we were suppose to have voted for in the Nice Treaty. I think we must have voted to let in Asylum Seekers until the country implodes.
