well if I do a google image search for "random avatar lady" I get this

http://comixtreme.com/gallery/data/media/529/Image1.jpg

so there, it's Lady Death, case closed

While this is something better suited for a PM I guess I'll answer it here...

I don't know what you're talking about really... It's just some random picture I found a long long time ago and put up as a joke... Now I can't take it down because it's how I find all my posts! And it still confuses new people who PM me thinking I'm a girl... What with the overly girly forum name and all.

I highly doubt the image is haunted though.

I agree, the only person who you really insulted was Jozef.

As for me, I just hope you stop thinking that new people are for some reason hated by people who have been here longer. If anything it's the other way around! The people who have been here longer usually don't make any games and just sit around taking up all the spaces on the couch and scratching themselves... Places.

It's the new people who make games. Now... Make games.

I just want to add that I have absolutely no idea when you joined buloght. I still don't, I haven't gone to your profile to check.

You know why? Because I don't care.

Believe me or not, I don't expect you will. It's easier to think a secret group of AGSers hate you because you joined a few months ago... I guess.

Afflict, that first quote was a quote from helm. Not directed at you.

And I'd say Buloght did everything but ask nicely.

"(you know people have selective hearing)"

If I told someone "I was unable to get past a certain point in DW:N and I don't know why, all walkthroughs on the internet told me to do something and it didn't work. There must be a hidden bug in the game and it is personally unplayable to me." and all they listen to is "UNPLAYABLE!" how is that my fault?

"I'm sorry, I think you're being needlessly argumentative."

I'm not, Helm.

Again, he said he did exactly what people said to progress in the game. It didn't work. What is he supposed to think about the game? That he, after doing exactly what one is supposed to do to get pass that part in the game, is at fault and just gave up too early?

Afflict, I don't understand your point, the broken up quoting/sentence fragment style is confusing me.

Rubik's cube. If I show you step by step how to beat Rubik's cube and you follow each step and it still doesn't work then the Rubik's cube is more than likely at fault, yes?

How does this relate to Jozef?

Because he wrote something on his blog means that now everyone who gets stuck in a game has to call the game personally unplayable?

He said that he tried to do exactly what people on these forums said to do to pass the first screen and it still didn't work.

I've tried playing Discworld Noir many times and each time I get to 1 part where I can't progress. I follow all the walkthroughs and it just stops. Unplayable to me, other people have beat it. Same difference. Your FoA bit and Rubik's cube don't apply.

I don't understand what you're saying Helm. It seems like "I don't agree one on point of what you guys are saying but I do agree on that point also..."

If a user gets stuck because of a game design element, wouldn't you consider that a problem and from a user's stand point to be "broken" or "personally unplayable"?

It's not about the game being someone's cup of tea or not. That's content more often than not. I'm not interested in games like Guild Wars because it isn't my cup of tea. I am interested in AGS gamse and if I play them then more often than not they are my cup of tea. If I can't complete the game then it becomes unplayable for me. Excuse me if I'm confused, because...

I am!

As I see it Jozef, reviews games as his hobby in his free time, why does "professional" apply to him and not to us game makers?

And because you think I was dismissing your arguement is just another reason why you just don't understand what is going on or what Jozef wrote in that particular review. You didn't appear to read anything I wrote since you think everyone else can have an opinion and tell you about your game BUT Jozef. You keep leaving off the word "personally", that he could not complete the game.

Let's see your last comment with a little edit:

"But saying someone's game is personally unplayable is ridicuous if it's not, I haven't found one AGS game this year personally unplayable. I spent too much effort on my game and trying to make it user-friendly for josef to make that comment."

Every AGS game that came out you were able to beat, no problems? I can think some I couldn't beat and they were just in the OROW competitions.

He also couldn't beat 1213 because he isn't good at fast reaction arcade like games, that makes 1213 personally unplayable.

"MrColossal i don't think you would have played it anyway. "

Why? Because I'm a member of some Anti-Buloght League?

I didn't know Grundislav was the judge of this!

stop being such a drama queen Buloght...

The only reason now that I have no interest in playing your game is because of the way you're acting right now.

He said that for him personally he could not play the game, which would make it unplayable for him. Right?

Jozef:

There's Automation if you want it!

He doesn't say it is unplayable, he says "personally it is unplayable." Meaning he couldn't play it. This is not an insult!

Whatever, I'm done sticking up for someone who doesn't need it, Jozef I'm sure is a smart guy who doesn't need me defending him.

He said he got stuck and that people say it's a good game and the art was very good. He isn't trashing your game.

It's marked purple because it's a link and you clicked it.

wow buloght, he can't have an opinion?

Also, I see all the OROW games [one room one week] were reviewed except mine, Automation! The winner of the first one! Argh!

Also, you might want to mention which ones were made for OROW because that is why they are so short.

your second link appears to be a bmp with a learnfrenchonline.com bit at the end. Can't you upload bigger pictures?

well... this is kinda getting awkward so I guess 20 bucks it is!

I'd rather not have to go into the registry or edit subst driver paths every time I switch projects...

Maybe I'll just put in a requisition form and have them buy it for me.

Thanks though! If anyone can think of a free version still, feel free to post!

Eric

You could just save them in My Documents in folders that start 0001*, 0002*, etc.

No I can't, they have to be in certain folders in order for compilers to work and for our source control to work.

Traveler:

I'll give it a shot, beats paying for things!

edit: tried it... It appears I can't use more than 33 characters for a folder location... ungood!

You misunderstand me Rick...

Having a custom toolbar at the bottom of the screen won't help me when the file manager pops up asking me to save a file in a specific folder.

Hey people who may know more than me.

I'm looking for a free version of this type of program:

http://www.shelltoys.com/access_folders/

Making game art and such means I have to save pictures in one folder, levels in another, reference in another and concept in another, these folders aren't always right near each other and a program like Access Folders is awesome! You define favourites and just click one button and you're presented with them all for easy workability!

Now, Access Folders is cheap [20 bucks] but I'd rather not buy it! So, anyone know of any other programs like this that are free?

And no, I won't steal it, I'm not about to use stolen programs at work.

Any help would be AWESOME!

Eric

Those aren't Quest games sbslovenia.

Otherwise, awesome! I agree with Ghormak, that's probably the best picture on the internet.
