I didn't grow up in a religious household at all but society instilled the belief in god in me. Not really any certain religion just that there is a god and it wants you to be good. I was never good for the sake of god or a Jesus.. I mostly just prayed to god to give me the ability to fly [seriously]. I remember an english teacher in middle school asked everyone to write on a peice of paper "What colour do you think god is?" and she read them out, most people wrote "white" and I she was making an awkward point about race but I remember thinking back on that the following weeks and being "What was that about? And why didn't I write "There is no god"?" Probably because I didn't want to be the odd man out.

Even when I realized how silly religion and belief in god or the paranormal is I still had the "Wow it would suck if I was wrong!" thoughts from time to time, like you Raggit. Luckily that's pretty much all dead now. Listening to The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe [excellent podcast http://www.theskepticsguide.org/], reading Dawkins and Shermer, reading the Randi.org commentary... All of these helped to solidify the fact that there is nothing to be wrong about. I didn't see it as deprogramming until I finally took stock of what was left of that "What if...?" in my head and realized that the question was gone. I feel so much better/happier now. So basically what I say is, good luck Raggit and if you ever want help deprogramming, I've got some links!

Hasn't the Russian press been told to only report "happy" news? Happy being defined as the weather and anything that doesn't cast Russia in a bad light?

If so then of course they won't show Russians doing anything bad however their only fooling themselves..

And by that I mean! HEY! THERE WILL BE NO BASHING OF OTHER COUNTRIES BESIDES THE USA ON THESE FORUMS! Russia is a great nation!

I wonder how often someone goes on a mission to convert heathens to christianity and end up themselves converted to the local beliefs...

I just wanted to post this because I get a huge kick out of it and it helps put some things in perspective, at least I hope it does. I imagine most believers just hear him speak and say "Yea but Thor is just mythology, African religions are just backwards tribal silliness and everyone KNOWS Jesus is real!"

SHHH! Don't say it's name out loud! You may wake it!

To shorten the list of ideal games I'd like to make let me add "What's the adventure game you've wanted to make for some time in AGS?"

And then to make my answer even shorter.. I think I might be working on it now. I started playing a few adventure games I've never played before [Star Trek 25th Anniversary being one of them along with the Trilby series] and thought... "I... I can do this.. I can do this better?" and slowly a story came to me. I wrote it all out in a few days and I'm very much in love with it. I've been working on it for a little bit and hopefully it'll be the best thing I've ever made.

I'd show screenshots but it turns out if I'm serious about a project I never tell anyone about it until it's done. So this may not be the best answer to your question but it helps kick the thread off, maybe?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Email the author, PM the author, go to the author's website and email there.

I get it, you want to play every single lucasarts tribute game but please use a little more detective work. Find someone who is still active in the forums in the MI: Illusions thread [that you dug up 3 years later] and PM them personally asking if they still have the file.

When I was in college someone called my room and wanted me to buy something stupid and I said "This is a college dorm." and she said "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll remove you from our computers."

I wonder if they can't sell to college dorms? Give that a try!

Then just the other day someone called my house asking for the previous occupant [as they have been doing for 2.5 years! I don't know who Margret is!] and I told them that they're calling an apartment building and she said "Oh ok..." and hung up on me not the other way around..

However sometimes when I say "She doesn't live here anymore." they just start their hooplah on me but eh, can't win all the time.

What specifically would you like up to comment on? Your team? How should your team start?

Welcome to the AGS forums, the minimum age here is 16 but if you can act maturely we accept anyone. Your masked swearing was not acting that maturely no matter the reason.

I recommend working on one game at a time and making it a small one. Goodluck and I look forward to any game you release.

Why isn't it an option, CJ? It's not like he destroyed the penis. Stick it in the freezer and it'll stay ha... ok I can't continue with this

read the forum rules, this is not the place to ask for help, moving to hints and tips.

also, a walkthrough:

I don't really remember playing any of the discworld games. I mostly remember listening to them. I tried to play Noir on 3 occasions. First being when I first got it and I got stuck in an area that after consulting a walkthrough seemed to be a bug in the game and I was walking dead. Second and Third times I just couldn't take it. So slow! I'd like to watch a Play Through of Noir instead of actually play it I think.

However I quite enjoy the books so, hooray for that!

I am currently trying to work this out with Gamemaker.

no I ment of people saying X country that isn't america is dumb and then the thread going on for pages yelling at that person.

Any example threads off the top of your head that you could point me to?

""Come on, guys! Not everything is ok, but at least not everything is shit, ok?""

If this is what someone is saying then why are they even in the debate in the first place? That's not something that can be debated or even spoken to really. The most you can say to that is "Oh, yea... Alright?"

Hollywood? Bill Gates? So what? They aren't America. One is a place and the other is a person. I hate Carlos Mencia, I don't think he's funny in the slightest and he seemingly rips off other comedians. This is not bashing America!

Then why didn't someone stop the VT killer with a dangerous ball point pen because their nature to survive took over?

I also just want to jump in and say that as an American I get a totally different feel from these threads that focus on America. Darth, sometimes it seems that you fall back on "Everyone just hates america!" and fail to see the hundreds of other times that other countries get talked about and made fun of and torn down.
