I was not "blaming" nobody for the billion issue... just to make it clear... ^_^
#3822
Eeer... curious, but billion is Spanish means a million of milions (1,000,000,000,000) and not 1,000 millions (1,000,000,000).

I think that it is related with the old spanish coin, the "peseta" wich had a pretty "small" value... So, when we talked of great machroeconomics figures we talked about millions of pesetas. (1,000,000,000,000)

Now there´s a mess... A "spanish" billion of Euros is a Huuuuuuge number, and we will probably start to mean 1,000,000,000 when we talk of "billions"...

Curious how economy also is related with languaje.

It has divided the spanish bilion by 1,000...

I don't want to hurt nobody's feeling, but as this is related with the own oppinion of the people, I must say: Monkey Island 4.

The worst GA when I compare my expectations with the final product, IMO. Probably not the worst I've ever played (I remember one made by the guy of Police quest, which was not police quest...) But definitely the one which has dissapointment me most.

It's funny that we're discussing a person's death here, and all people can come up with is how terrible it would be that we wouldn't see any updates on the ags-engine...

You heartless beasts!

(I, on the other hand, see before me a mittens soccer tournament without the amusing sight of CJ:s girly attempts to run for the ball)


Yes... I pointed that minimi has no heart before...

And yes... We all saw Chris running at Mittens... It was impressive... But there was a swedish guy with four nipples who impressed  me most... O_O

But "I didn't sense dagger fast enough" would work just as well..

Maybe you're just not cut out for this humor thing  :P

the truth is that I broke in tears when I thought on the possibility of CJ dying, and this Photoshop was enough difficult to do for me in such situation to make it funny...  :'(

Bah....  don´t want to enter in this conversation because I can´t, I am not really aware of the U.S. politics.

I am quite conservative, because in my country the "good old socialists boys" came saying that they were going to create 1,000,000 employes. What happened after 12 years of socialism? Spain had 8,000,000 of unemployed (22% of the population) and the highest rate of corruption in history.

Now, with the "fascists" popular government, the uneployment rate is at 9%, and Spain is said to be the 8th economy in the world.

In my country, socialism=lie to the people with good intentions to get corrupted once in the government. (And bad, awful management...)

In the U.S. is different, the republicans and democrats are not so radicalised in his economy management, and sometimes the differences can just be seen in their attitudes and way of behave.

What I am saying is that I would probably have vote Kerry/democrats in the next elections, and I would haven´t voted for nobody 4 years ago (If I were american).

But if I haven´t voted for nobody, I wouldn´t be heavily complaining because I didn´t use my chance to decide when I had my change. That´s democracy.

People is so used to it that they´re relaxed when they´re in front of a ballot box... Voting has to be an exercise of reflection. It is funny when somebody complains with long posts about politics and when you ask him:
"What did you do when you had your opportunity? Who did you vote for?"
They ask:
"I didn´t vote"
(This is not refered to Jackhammer, of course, I am talking in general... I am thiking that probably Jack wasn´t old enough when the previous elections)

I´ve been told before that I am quite conservative. And I told also before that voting should be an exercise of reflection. Aren´t this sentences contradictory? If you´re conservative you should allways vote conservative... Well, no. None of the systems is perfect and sometimes is necessary to change the management system to another. As you can see, I am envolved in politic in my country, I can express my oppinion... But expressiong your oppinion without having voted of being foreign is, at least... dare.

It scares me the way you aim to the "Rich people" as an uniform mass of republican people without feelings... O_O

Lol Mr. Colossal...

The truth is that I was thinking in something for the signature, but as I am stupid, I read "I sense danger" in spite of "I sense dagger"(Should I redouce my daily LSD dosis?)... And I couldn´t think nothing funny with that.

Hurray! Now we have Africa!

Next quest: Adding Antarctica to the AGS map, and a couple of users, too! ;)

And Atlántida, so we could put Indiana the Psyconaut there...

And yes Jackhammer... Minimi is very funny, isn´t he?

All the democrats who now heavy complain about having such a stupid president... Should´t be ashamed for loosing the previous elections in front of such a stupid man? ???

That is how democracy works... If you don´t like Bush, don´t vote him for the re-election...

I think it´s fucking easy, isn´t it?  :)

CJ has it´s computer connected to a heart rater, so, if he dies his avatar will change into this:



BTW, as he drinks virgin´s blood everynite, he will keep young and healthy for many many years...

Edit: Surprising fact that if CJ dies the only think that Minimi would care should be the lack of upgrades for AGS...  :P

I´ve heard something about that talking of reporters of National Geographic and other documental producers... they can´t intervene. It is sad, but sometimes they must film how their favourite baby lion gets sepparated from its mom, and they can´t join them back. In the last documental I saw the lion´s mom find it, but in a previous one it didn´t and the baby lion died.

Of course, we´re talking of different things when we talk of people... But I think that the camera becomes some kind of shield for the reporters...

I fear the effects of removing the taboo from breasts. What if future generations get too used to them while growing up, and don't find them as sexy?

Good point indeed!

My page was quite visited for a while for cyclist globetrotters seeking hard climbings... But, as you can see, it has nothing related with AGS or games, and you'll probably be dissapointed if you visit it. :(

In adittion, is in catalan...  ???

Anyway, thanks Timosity...  :)

I meant, more or less, that a person who has a nickname based in the silliest film in history and an avatar based in the most brilliant general in history (Is him Iulius Caesar, isn´t it?) necessarily implies duality in his personality. (Do not interpret this as I am saying that you have some kind of squizophrenia .sp?, of course...)

I don´t know how to express this... let´s say that sometimes I really like your posts, for example in CL, and sometimes... I don´t... :(

But this is something totally expectable from a person with duality in his personality.  :)

P.S. Farlander was a X-Wing pilot on the Manual of the X-wing game.

Ok my nickname is because first I watched austin powers and liked the name Mini Me... and then I was abit playing with that name and Minimi sounded cute, so I took that as my nickname.

That explains a lot...
#3838
I think that the nickname and the avatar issue has been explained like 1,000,000 times before...  :-\

I think you should know that India isn´t actually dirty, it is just that it has been painted all the buildings in that way, and people is not sad and poor, they´re just figurants, and if you wake up very soon in India (5 or 6 AM) you will see how 2,000 million people preppair the daily performance.

Tourism issues, you know?
