Don't inflate the man's ego! He's a cad and I seek to call him out!

He doesn't answer my telephone calls, my letters, my e-mails, my knocks on the door (front and/or bedroom), unless he wants music, then it's all I can do to keep his legs together (You would too, if you were dealing with a giant).

He says he loves me, and then he says he never wants to see me again. He's a roller coaster of emotion. No one in their right mind should associate with him. He thinks he's so cool because he can travel in time, when all he's really doing is hiding in the pantry and making a whir whir noise. Then he comes out with a pot on his head and says it's all the wave in 200 years. What an ass!

That's right, I'm calling you out eric! And there's nothing you can do about it! All I wanted was love from him. Well, I for one, am not taking it anymore.

Yeah, squinky's right. There was a game that came out sometime in the summer that was a first person game. I can't remember too much more than that. It's an interesting concept to play with, I'm sure we'll be seeing more of it, as people try to become as original as they can be.

I concur with eric Johnson concurring with remixor johnson concurring with DG Johnson concurring with Las Naranjas Johnson concurring with tamper!

10 points if you get that movie reference.

Geez, grundi, just add a nice plot twist that says time is being destorted and with a whirl of graphics go to the end of the game.

I've worked at a grocery store for several years Panda, and while it might not seem like a glamorous job, or maybe the pay isn't as good as other jobs, it isn't the worst of jobs. I get to determine my availability, for one, how many hours I'd like (and they are usually pretty good about keeping near that number), and advancment is fairly fast, compared to other high paying jobs. I also have job security, and if worse comes to worse and my true asipirations don't work out, I can always get a managment position (where the pay is fairly high at a min o 30per hour, for store manager, and 250,000a year for regional manager).

So people, don't blow off a grocery job just yet, because in the long run it can pay off. And its flexible around my uni schedule, so that I can schedule work around my classes, and not the other way around.

While I haven't worked at a restaurant, I've known people who could pull 200 to 300 dollars in a six hour shift, and that's nothing to sneer at, either (for a college job).

I agree, though. Specializing in an area is a good thing, but working at a grocery store or even a restaurant for a few years isn't a negative.

Also I think min wage is determined by state. Over here, I believe its 5.25

(Back to topic)
And congrats Yakspit for your job. Sounds like it pays well, and has all the goodies and extras that come with a job. Stick with it, it sounds like it'll pay off.

These forums are now in shambles. I can no longer remember who's a newbie and who isn't.  So now I've categorized everyone. If I don't talk to you, on a regular basis, you're a newbie. Simple as 3.14. If you annoy me in anyway, you're a newbie. If you haven't played Ace Quest and Ace Quest 2 demo, you are a newbie. If your name isn't spelled like this : "MillsJROSS" You sir/sirette. Are a newbie.

You newbies have ruined what was once my dream for AGS...when I made the clever name CJ and made AGS, I thought I'd get at least some intelligence. I mean, adventure games are thinking games. If people are able to figure out that by balancing three plates on their head, singing Yankee Doodle dandy, while standing on top of a spoon will open the magic door, you'd think they'd be able to post in the correct forum.

So then I got an even more clever name, MillsJROSS, so that maybe I could see what it was like being a newbie. I never had a chance, really. When I found out that my intelligence far exceeded that of the AGS community combined, I became bitter.

It is because of this that I've decided that this community shall no longer be, or exist. In one month, this whole place will be taken down. Me and my alter ego CJ, have decided.

-MillsJROSS

I think it's a good idea, for releaving tension. It should be moderated, of course. Not much else I have to say, but aye!

and play Ace Quest

Okay, there was this one time some friends and I hijacked an SUV and while driving we hit something. So when I got out of the car to check, I saw a bunch of kids running away. Damn crazy kids!

Okay a real story...

In college (unfortunatly, either I did nothing crazy in high school or can't remember it), we were in the dorms. And in the halls a couple of friends and I invented a game called death disk. Which was a lot like frisby only instead of a frisby we played with a pot top we had borrowed from some girl (and yes, she made us buy her a new pot and top once she found out. Some people never let people have fun). So the pot top, from being banged up against the side walls, was incredibly sharp and very dangerous to throw at one another, hence the name, death disk. So eventually one of my friends hits the smoke detector clean off, which makes all the detectors on every floor but ours, go off. So eventually an officer makes his way up to our floor and asks us a few question. After a few lies we were home free. But death disk was put to it's death.

I could house you for a couple of days in Florida, but as we don't have a guest bedroom, you'd be forced to sleep in the common room, and I don't see my roomates too happy about you being there for an extended length of time (more than a week).

That's what I meant when I said we go on an assignment type thing. People would get assigned to give something to someone. And while I agree, it is more about giving, it would only seem fair that if you make a request, and give yourself, then you should recieve, too.

-MillsJROSS

There's also the problem of asking for something, and not recieving anything back.

I think this is a fairly good idea, it might get people motivated, and it might be the begining of partnerships for people who like the work they've seen.

But to address the above, unless someone asks for something ridiculous, then there should be some sort of system of working out who does what. Otherwise this guy would get ten, and this other guy might not get any. If a persons request is reasonable, then for this day, it is only reasonable that someone do it. So we might actually have to do an assignment type thing.

My suggestion is to go to google it. If the word "Sierra" doesn't yeild anything but other company's or products, search for specific sierra projects. You can probably find a fanbased site on them that offers free downloads. Like the virtual broomcloset (which is for SQ fans) http://wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

Alright, I finally found the problem. See I had set a global int through a run-script comand via through dialog, and I kept checking to see that my script was set for the correct variable, it was. However, I didn't check to see if I directed the run-script to the correct script. There I found my mistake. Also I had put the script before the start diolog in the characters talk to interaction. And for some reason it wouldn't work the first time after the variables were correct, but it would work the next time.

So to fix that, I just got rid of it there, and attatched the script to the point those GlobalInts are actually changed. It works now. Thank you for your help, it was actually you that made me think "If my script is correct, there's got to be an error somewhere. Perhaps it's where I'm pointing my run-script command."

Thanks.

-MillsJROSS

I'm trying to get it so that when two Global ints are set to a number upon talking a a character the script detects this, and turns on a dialog option. But my script seems to do nothing.

if ((GetGlobalInt(5)==5) && (GetGlobalInt(4)==5)) {
  SetDialogOption(6,8,1);
}    

Am I doing somthing wrong?

Last year I was concerned about putting a few pounds off that I had gained over the course of a semester, so I cut out soda's, sweets, everything that was really bad for me. Bought more vegtables and fruits, and drank water when I thought I was hungry (because sometimes you think your hungry when you're really just thirsty). I lost the weight I had gained in no time. I didn't really excersize so much, I did swim 30 laps or so at our swimming pool for a couple of weeks, but I got lazy. And already this has been said, but don't eat before you go to bed, You're supposed to go to bed three hours after your last meal, at the very least.

-MillsJROSS

In the version I have 2.55 I have thirty options for dialog, but if you find that you need to go more than that, than use more than one dialog.

-MillsJROSS

Mills-Jay-Ross for any of those who wondered how I pronounce it. I'm fine with making up my own ideas for names, I'm still fascinated by pleurghberg.

-MillsJROSS

I just think you should change your nick to signify that you aren't currently present. If you want to stay on and log everything, that's fine with me. Just don't let me not know that you aren't there. In truth, though, you really shouldn't idle for too long. For some people, like RobertEric, it makes sense. However, if you're just there to be there...it's just pointless. If a op is there and there are sooo many people in the chat room, and it's getting annoying, then allow them to kick a few people. But only when it really becomes a burden.

-MillsJROSS

I still write down tidbits of info that I think will be important.

There is an easy solution if you want players to take notes or not. Give the player the option between easy or hard in the begining of the game that set a globalint.

Someone told me that utter cream (which you can buy at Walmart from what I heard), a cream used for cows utters, actually gets rid of razor burn easily.
