NEW "ELF TITLED" RECORD GOT LOST IN THE INTERNET AND SO IT IS BEING PUSHED BACK TO JANUARY!!!!
SORRRY!! WE HATE INTERNET

Nooooo! The album was four days from being released, and now they pushed it back! I hate you, internet!

Edit: The Advantage is an awesome Nintendo cover band.

[graphic adventure]

Petteri presents...

My first graphic adventure (I had made some text adventures and non adventures before)... Stanley Raider! *comedy trumpet*

Heavily inspired by Zak McKracken which I was playing a lot back then (years ago).

Plot
Stanley Raider... [censored for being too embarassing] ...invisible man... [no!] ...aliens... [o_O] ...dream... [does it never end?] ...sunglasses and a golden statue... [nooooo].

Screenies (or more like backgrounds)
A city.
A corridor.
A beach.
A room with a television.
A house on the hill (my favourite)

My friend was making the backgrounds for me, he rocked and still rocks. There were some more backgrounds but I couldn't find them. I have some music too, but "it's so baaaad". This game was going to be made in Darkbasic, btw. so it's pre-AGS.

Happy birthday Raggit. I remember back in the days when you used to be one of the youngest AGSers (I think?). Have a good one.

Tomorrow? Okay, fine with me.

Seriously though, I'll vote for July, because some people might not be able to make it in June. And we still should be able to witness nightless night in July.

Also, Haddas, you forgot Inkoddi from your list. I mean, he is coming, right??

Someone really has to start hosting all the AGS Operas, shows and stuff again. Someone also should make a new AGS opera.

Whoo, entries. \o/

Ashen, of course, submit as many entries as you want.

!

People, people, I want to see entries. More than two entries at least. Here, maybe this will inspire you: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/gallery/index.php

Loominous', because it's pure awesomeness.

Two things: layers and keyframes.

Kafka's koffee to the rescue! (once again): http://kafkaskoffee.com/tutorials.shtml Look for animation tutorials. Even though they are mainly for pixel art, you can apply the same technique on hi-res art, too.

[Touch in paranormal!]

What is a Photoshop Phriday?

At this point everyone should know already, but here goes, once again.

Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images. The contest usually lasts for a fortnight. Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used. Please make sure your image doesn't exceed the width of the screen.

This week: Touch in paranormal!

UFOs, aliens, ghosts, living skeletons, adventure gamers... whatever comes to your mind when you see the word 'paranormal'. Internet is full of hoaxes like this, so let's make some more! So, your job is simply to photoshop an image so that it include paranormal activity.

Examples:
- Aliens visiting Mittens!
- Your favourite game including something that wasn't there before!
- !

Actually, we got to witness paranormal activity at Mittens:

Helm shows off his skills and levitates a blue cup! This is the original photo, Grundislav just photoshopped that cup out before uploading his photo gallery.

PS. Cheers, Guybrush Peepwood!

So, what's "the thing" with this movie? I just saw the trailer, looked like your average action flick, only set in space.

m0ds' avatars.
My first game I never released, even though it was (and still is) 99.9% finished.
RPG Creator pimping his upcoming game, and himself.
Pessi's paintovers in Critic's Lounge.
Posting a couple of times in 2001, on the Ezboards, then leaving and joining again in 2002.
When I wasn't decent at making music.
That guy who offered to make music for people, but couldn't upload any samples for people to hear because they were copyrighted.
And other stuff. Of course a hell lot more happened before I joined.

Personally, I prefer beginning of July if it means more people are able to come. And I want more people to come!

AGS - The musical (a quick one)



Original hear: http://www.baardar.no/entertainment/dancingman/nye/213_2.jpg

EDIT: I once tried similar theme in PP, it didn't work back then either.

[HORSE The Band]

I would suggest HORSE The Band, but I don't think you would like it because of the vocalist. You might, however, like Game Over.

I found a magical broom.

I can't quite control it well yet, though.

The Others! How could I forget that movie, I love it.

Sully: I see. I might as well go through my tapes to see if I could find IT somewhere, heh.

Also, I believe in supernatural, too. I'd like to encounter supernatural, but I probably would be really scared if I did. It's kind of like, when I was a kid, I found The X-Files very scary, because it had aliens, and the main theme is spooky (and they often advertised it on the telly at night, when it was dark... I'm afraid of the dark, you never know if there's something hiding in the shadows!). But I also wanted to watch it, because I found all the supernatural things interesting. It's still one of my favourite shows, ever. And Sully and esper, we shall became paranormal investigators!

Talking about aliens, I mentioned this mini series earlier in this thread, about alien abductions. It's not really horror, I guess, but it was horror enough for me when I was a kid. I couldn't sleep properly in ages because I was scared that aliens are coming to get me. Anyways.

Spoiler

There was this family, I think, and the mother was abducted. She became pregnant (I think!), and later gave birth to a boy (again, I think! I just remember that there was a boy). The boy was abducted too, in one part. The aliens put implants into their victims' noses. The aliens (that looked pretty much like your typical alien, like in The X-Files, for example) could walk through the walls, as far as I remember. There was a part where a woman saw some workers parking their on this woman's lawn in the middle of the night. But when she approached them, they turned into aliens! The following day, there was no trace of a car, but the are where the car was seen was burnt.

Yeah, uhh, that's pretty much all I can remember. Anyone happen to know the name of the series?

Actually, I haven't read IT, I just saw the film. But I saw Stephen King's version of The Shining, and then read the book, and I found the book hell lot of better than the film. Kubrick's version, on the other hand, it's teh rockrock.

Maybe it's just that I would do things other way than what they are. But the thing you said about it taking a big name to make a good film out of book, I don't think it's that. For example, I saw Carrie years ago, and I still have no idea who DePalma is. I shall investigate. But on the other hand, The Shining by Kubrick is good, because it's by Kubrick.

I do like many of King's ideas, but when the story goes on, they often turn silly (read: I wouldn't do it like that).

Spoiler

Dreamcatcher: Okay, it all starts out nice, when suddenly... aliens?! What on Earth? That was my impression when I first saw it... though that might be because I when I saw the trailers, they gave me different image of what to expect.

IT: Okay, use silver earrings on slingshot. Use slingshot on Pennywise. It works! Eh...
And another. Use asthma pipe on Pennywise. It works too! What the??!

[close]

I saw IT once. I even recorded it on tape. I laughed, oh how I laughed.

It's like all Stephen King's movies, the beginning is very good... and all of a sudden it becames just silly.

EDIT: Okay okay, not all movies by him, but many nevertheless!
