FIXED

Hooray! Merry Christmas CJ and new years fun to you!

Maybe next year this little AGS thing will finally take off and become popular! Fingers crossed!

I don't know what MediaCoder can do but I found this after searching for 3gp on Lifehacker.com

seems you can convert them to WMV which I guess would mean windows would understand it? Assuming relatives have windows machines?

Or just convert them and upload them to a video sharing site for the easiest of use but I know, public website for private videos...

"see the people who really created RotN."

Says the man who helped create RotN!



...man I wish I completed Time Out...

QFG5 had random people you couldn't talk to in the market speak a made up language but it was only a few lines.

Yeah, that was Greek.

Yeah, a made up language.

Apparently the creator of Ico wanted to have no subtitles in the game and just a made up language be heard but he ended up putting them in. QFG5 had random people you couldn't talk to in the market speak a made up language but it was only a few lines. Out of This World [Another World] had made up language but again it was only a few words here and there.

All of these instances helped the game in my opinion [except QFG5 because it needed more than just made up language to fix it] I don't think you need to make a perfect language that has proper sentence structure, past and present tense that someone can figure out and read your game some day... But if you can slip in a few words here and there for me to learn and use them in puzzles, that's awesome to me.

I made a few lines of fake language up for Legendary and plan on keeping it in.

The only problem I can see is I hate it when made up language slips in to english and it does not sound natural. "We chased him into the alley but the neshgi bamfrat was already gone!"

Is the ending a puzzle at all? Is it in fact rigged and you have to beat it? Or is it like 7th Guest and it's retarded Cool Spot clone that always wins

Hooray! I can't wait, I loved the first game to bits... TO BITS!

I must have "Never Surrender!" 6 times before I finally gave in...

this is from the same school that Pyrates! and Burning Safari came from

I love when they have a graduating class!

Actually wait, I'd pay to read that book.

Be honest, you mean pay to have someone read it to you

but leave out all the boring bits, and do voices for all the parts

kaputtnik, and then bring your mother as your wingman and say "My mom was just saying that you're no good for me but I think you're very pretty..." and now you have a common enemy and she has something to prove.

I'll stick to accepting money for sex.

I had never heard of Bingwood even though I read indiegames blog regularly... It looks [visually] totally cute! Tell how it is when you get around to it

Perhaps for other things, but for those particular commandments I couldn't find anything specific.

What I mentioned to JBurger, God makes a commandment to honor the sabbath, a man is found gathering sticks on the sabbath and he is killed because god says that to work on the sabbath is to be punished by death. That's a specific punishment by god to humans for breaking a law he supposedly wrote in stone.

Did Jesus say that the sabbath is totally cool to work on? It seems jesus did some healing on the sabbath and then said it's cool to do "good" on the sabbath. So does that mean that you can heal people but not turn on a light switch to read a book? This is some confusing stuff. It seems like people think that Jesus abolished the sabbath [because really, that is a million times more convenient than if believed he didn't...] so all the old testament stuff is in the past. But if it really happened than THE PAST HAPPENED. How many people were killed before Jesus came along and said "Wait a sec there fellas!" Are those deaths acceptable losses to eventually getting Jesus?

the Bible's message

So then what is the bible's message? What does it say it is? Originally what did it say it is and what do people say it is now? When people were being stoned to death for picking up sticks did anyone say "Well, it's actually a collection of parables and suggestions on how to live your life!" or is that a recent thing?

So if not everything applies to us now, why hasn't the bible been amended by god? [If one says "Jesus amended the bible!" then he has a lot more editing to do!] If god doesn't change his rule book how can you possibly assume that the rules have changed? Is it not possible that you say it's unreasonable to assume all rules apply to us because you just don't like those rules the bible sets? Does the bible advise for or against not following all the laws?

But then, He was dealing with a people with different mindsets, different ways of life, and no knowledge of Jesus or salvation. And then too, God was different then. But this is just how I reconcile it.

Brrr I find it scary to think that because it was a different time people deserved to be treated so barbarically.

To not answer your question because I shan't speak for all athiests. All I'm trying to do is understand how people reconcile these things that I see as problems with living as a human and living by the bible. Like I said I haven't read, the bible I'm probably hitting the tallest nails which all seem to stick up out of the old testament. Jesus said and did some messed up stuff sure but those nails are a little smaller and lesser known to a non-religious person like myself. If I had the desire to read the bible and find out more stuff to hang on Jesus maybe I would but really, it would depress me too much I think.

It is interesting that you bring those examples up, having read them on the internet now I am curious what you think of them. Though I've used a lot of question marks already and these posts might just get more and more disjointed as small questions are answered here and there.

Forgive me if this post is hard to read, it is late and I must sleeesespsszzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's ok, I don't expect you to be a scholar and have written books on the subject, just having a [hopefully] friendly conversation.

What do you think of God even initially allowing that? Sure some people believe that he did away with the "old stuff" with Jesus but it was in there..... for how many years?

I'm sorry, I really have can't understand what you're trying to say, Auriond. What does nothing imposed by humans mean? There are more than vague references to punishment in the bible.

And I don't understand what you mean in your second point. If a book supposedly without flaw and written by the christian god explains the ins and outs of properly purchasing a slave and selling your own daughter into slavery [I don't see how one can take this any other way BUT literally]... That's a little different than a pillow being used to smother someone. I could beat someone to death with the bible because it's fairly dense and a fair bludgeoning tool but that doesn't make it dangerous, what's written inside it makes it dangerous.

TheJBurger, in Exodus god says to honor the sabbath he then says, in Exodus whoever does work on the sabbath to kill them. That sounds very "Do" to me. In Numbers some dudes find a guy picking up sticks in the sabbath and the whole town kills him. Imagine if he was also not honoring his mother then! I understand that that is what you were taught, so how do you reconcile what your were taught and what the bible says to do to someone who gathers sticks on sunday? No disrespect, I just never get to ask people these questions and these are the big hurdles I have to over come to understand faith.

What does the bible suggest the punishment should be for breaking one of those commandments?

isn't a part of the problem is that there are passages in the bible that are not harmless?

Hehehe...you got me there!
If God was like Marlon Brando and Jesus like James Dean, you would not be laughing now!

But they are both dead...

OH MY! What a development! God is dead!

encryption might also not work because the hosts file needs to be read by the computer

You could set the file to readonly and then set it to hidden and turn of hidden files in windows? That might be a solution? Unless the kid looking for porn is computer savvy and knows enough to unhide files and unlock them.

Spyboy also has an option to lock the hosts file but that might just set it to readonly which you can do yourself
