Did they happen to have Phil Plait on that episode at all?
#242
I have not seen it but I am very interested. I mean I'm a rational human being so obviously the human race landed on the moon but still, I like Mythbusters when they bust myths and this is something that is important. More people will watch their show than visit the badastronomy blog so hooray!

I was interested in this for Automation, I wanted to sound effects like I heard from Indiana Jones and such. The level pull and door opening sounds are embedded in my brain. I think it's a matter of hardware of the past that made those sounds but if anyone can emulate them it'd be neat to hear.

I enjoyed this a lot.
Good to put some voices to names and faces. Mr Colossal is such a dork :=

Looks like you rented an awesome place!

Excuse me... I am not a dork.. I am a Colossal Dork!

We just watched it tonite, hooray us! It brought the Mittens Nostalgia back full force... but hooray us!

Hooray mills! Now we just need a message from Erin and I can rest easy.

Also, here are my pictures!

We are also home, got home last night but SLEEPY, I haven't been that tired in a while.

I also haven't laughed that much in a long while, I always love Mittens and can not wait for next year.

I too had a great time.  So much so that I ve decided to extend my stay in France.  Actually, no I ve missed my return flight to Canada and am trapped in Paris another 3 days.  Merde alors.

OH NO! I think Mills also missed his flight because we slept through the wake-up-call from the hotel and Erin's alarm was set to "Weekdays only!" so we woke up at 8:30, got out of there around 9, got on the train, made a wrong turn, finally got to CDG and he had an hour to get through the entire boarding procedure, I don't think it worked BUT I HOPE IT DID!

I will post pictures later but this one is for Derren:



This is what Mills looked like after he realized that you left without saying goodbye... AND you forgot your granola bar! Love'em and Leave'em, eh?

EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE! Jess was sick at mittens and now all you dudes are getting sick.. JUST WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? pix pls!

Just go ahead and post it, these are the final few posts that will be on this thread and a final reminder would be easy enough to spot.

So, do I bring my game again even though I've only done 2 new backgrounds and 2 animations on it since last mittens?

Also, I THINK I got the GPS thingie hooked up with maps for France but it doesn't like calculating a route from CDG to Vireux-Wallerand and it doesn't understand Rue de Ridoux but hey, it might still help!*

*bring maps anyway...
#249
OH NO! I just had a realization!

We won't all fit in the car. Darth, Mills, Jess and I are all Americans, therefore we are morbidly overweight! There's no way we will all fit!

Oh why didn't my grease addled brain think of this chicken wings!

Chicken wings? I meant sooner.

mm chicken wings...

If Jess and I aren't dead from the journey, I guess so.

But that's basically what it hinges on, how much do we want to die after getting off the plane.

Then again, the main problem is that someone will present evidence that they fell is legit and someone else can point out how it is not legit or at least extremely suspect but for the believer it just comes down to a matter of he said she said "We could both be right!" scenarios. Or "The proof is there for me." and there's no way to refute that because they don't want scientifically verified proof.

So saying that evidence will convince me is quite a simplification of what I actually need. But still, it's a sound bite!

I glazed my eyes over when I thought you were going to talk about the movie, I apologize if I came off harsh on that matter.

Also, I'm not mad at you and I certainly don't hate you. No worries, I was just reacting strongly to the subject you posted, not you the person who posted.

I didn't say I hated anyone either. That bit wasn't even about your post. So it's all good.

Is that the secret shadow government president? Because it sure doesn't look like the president of the US to me! YOU CRACKED THE CASE!

First off, can you please hide whatever spoilers you have about the new Xfiles movie in hide tags.

Secondly, those explanations are nothing. They are just people sitting in a room saying "WHAT IF THIS?!" and then not going any farther. They don't explain anything and they are stupid. I hate to be so blunt but if you ask me what I think of those explanations I say they are totally stupid and any show you are watching that offers those are real conversation points is a worthless pile of crap and is insulting the human race every second it's on television.

Also, I hate that people who believe in vast conspiracies of aliens visiting the planet ask you to just open your mind a little bit and offer countless videos for you to watch but when the best explanation about what happened at Roswell is offered up in a video it gets ignored.

Evidence will change my mind about anything, what would it take to change yours?

guys, don' t you think that you are putting a bit into his level?

Nope!

Seriously guys, can't you respond to something seriously for once?

I'm sorry about all this silliness Mawildoer...

Anyway, here is my idea, it's a gun that shoots gun, it's the Gun Gun.

Just saw this thread:

When I'm importing colors into my game I have the global colors at the top like you have them now and then drop the room colors down to the bottom and import the room with exact palette. As a test to see if everything imported correctly I unhide the colors in the palette in AGS to make sure they're in the right place.

So the question is, are you importing the background using exact palette? If there is a color in your BG or sprite and it is in say slot 5 it HAS to be in slot 5 in AGS also.

Also also, a technical thing but are you using the palette editor plugin for Pmotion [unless you've upgraded to 6 already] it is quite useful for moving colors around.

Seriously, I have entries in my start menu for "NCH Software Suite," "Gadwin Systems," and "Dreamagination." How in hell am I possibly going to remember what programs those companies made?

The funny thing is you can rename those folders to whatever you want. I never think to do this myself, it might be some sort of hold over from earlier computers or fear of breaking something, but it's just a short cut the name doesn't matter.

Also, InCreator, look in to ObjectDock, it's useful to me.
