Hey I'm getting an error after making adjustments to a sprite in default editor, saving it, then I copy it to clipboard and re-import it.
AGS throws an error when i go to save, something to do with losing the  backup sprite file.
I sent a bug report.

AGS.Types.AGSEditorException: Unable to create the backup sprite file. Make sure the backup sprite file is not read-only ---> AGS.Types.AGSEditorException: Unable to create the backup sprite file. Make sure the backup sprite file is not read-only

Edit: OK so I thought this was new to this version because I've never seen it before.. then i did a forum search and rebooting your computer seems to be the fix.   go figure, windows 10 locking files? I don't know.
Edit2: So this became an ongoing issue.. the best fix I've found is to run AGS as an administrator, seems to be working so far.

So I live in a rural area and I'm trying to decide on an Internet provider upgrade.
I have satellite internet now, it's ok.
Looking at either radio broadband or cellular hub (way better pricing on this lately)
Question is what kind of speeds can I expect from cell network? Is it consistent?
Can't find much good information on this.
I can get up to 4bars at my house.

This ones got my wheels turning... lets see if I can follow through...

If you updated the title or labeled the podcasts properly on iTunes that would be giving in at this point, wouldn't it?
Keep up the good fight brothers!

Woohoo!
While the cat's away the mice will...

Oh crap, nevermind.

I wasn't expecting to learn that Ben is cruel to children who can't afford nice Halloween costumes.

Neither were those children.

Ben I think you will be proud of me to hear I've started playing Earthbound SNES (Wii U is awesome for old games because it's also a great handheld) such great 90s Japanese humour!

I have always been proud of you.

Oh that's so nice of you to say 304 

(Now to begin pursuing the approval of Grundi...

Totally cool to reminisce about those old games

Battletoads is great two player fun, spent so much time playing that with my brother, came close but never finished, also Double Dragon 2 which I've just started playing with my son.
Anywho, loved the pod cast and appreciate the bit of Chris Roberts trivia  he probably has several Ferraris now that he is the uber-king of crowd funding.

I think your art style is beautiful, but please revisit that smoke effect.. not up to your standards (looks like my standards  )

Okay, let me get this strait, cause it might be a bit confusing... if he wrote and sang his own songs, without others singing them better, then it wasn't okay, but since others are singing his songs better than himself, it's okay?
Does it really matter who sang them? What matters is who wrote them. That's what he's been awarded a nobel for, not because "well, he can't sing them that good anyway, so he's just a writer..."

OK fine! It's not the best logic, it just goes to show that his primary talent was writing. None the less good songs can be considered poetry.

he is merely a pop song-writer.

I object to this. Pop != Rock & Roll.
I agree with the notion that others really performed many of his songs the best, therefor he is primarily a writer/poet.
Also, Tweeter and the Monkey Man performed by The Headstones. (I have also referred to Hugh Dillon as a poet )

Wow.
Your a madman Fitz.

What the heck! Ep 100?? Man you guys need to put proper dates and junk on your podcasts so it will alert on teh eye-foans...
Now to listen

Very excited about the improvements to custom properties!!
This looks like a sweet version.. Maybe I need to get back to game making

Thank You Crimson. 
For the record, you should definitely put "Took AGS Engine to Version 3.4" on your resume.

Hey man, just got around to this episode 99 that should mean 100 is ready to go, right?
BTW Toque-Babylon is basically my life, so don't forget old Mite when your mocking Canada..
I think you should name your game 'Hard Raven', it is very much Poe-Dickens and it is also a terrible name that won't be found on another IP, totally safe.

Yes! Got subscribed, now I know I'm not a robot! (Any longer...)
Look foreword to this 
Also hello everyone, nice to see your avatars again.

missed another one...
are the results available yet?

Congratulations!!
It's so great that not only have you shown what can be done but you've faithfully brought many fellow AGS'rs along for the ride 

I still don't know how to find the chat anymore
Is this still public knowledge?

Details here, but you will not be able to get into #clubgalen this way. Don't ask me how, I think it's invite only, of maybe specific compromising acts must be performed first.

Actually, you are wrong. To join #clubgalen all you gotta do is connect to irc.clubgalen.com and then type in: /join #clubgalen
Club galen is not some kind of elitist society, it is not invite only. Anyone can join.
The link on the "community" page of the site is outdated though, so it says that you have to connect to irc.agsarchives.com which was the old address for the channel.

Here is a quick mibbit link to join #clubgalen: https://client02.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23clubgalen&server=irc.clubgalen.com

I owe you a life debt for alowing me into the folds of your exclusive cult 8) I've never felt sooo accepted!
Now should I start by waxing your car or do I just keep whipping my naked body with this USB cable?

Good to hear things are progressing Jack
Also good to now that tux still fits Ponch! Now is that a custom cummerbund covering your udder?
