Holy cow, I've missed a lot of b-day notices. Happy birthday, everybody! 

You have piqued my curiosity. I'll give this a spin tonight. Also, I like how you put the technical stats in a little table. It looks so professional, I wonder why I never thought to do it that way.

Maybe also Ponch?
(Although not sure about timeline)

I put out a few games every year. But it looks more impressive than it is because I've been doing it for ten years now.

My money is on Ben304 (especially during his high output phase a few years ago, before he started making longer, more complicated games) or Yahtzee. Of course, Icey beats everyone for sheer output.

Generally speaking I'm not a fan. If everybody knows that you can have the rest of the month to finish your OROW, then it's not really an OROW.

But it only counts as a OROW game if you finish it in one week. Otherwise it's just a MAGS game that was cobbled out of a failed OROW game. And if you don't make the MAGS deadline either, then it's a double failure of the game and all the kids will point and laugh at you.

This thing's still only half-baked....

Mine too. I've got one good bit and the rest needs some serious work. Hope I don't run out of time.

I'm trying! But I'm too busy counting my money to put on the tutu and slather myself in vegetable oil.

The tally so far:

   $ 2.00 Canadian
   Â£ 3.00 Scottish
+ â,¬ 7.99 Euro (and assorted umlauts)
-----------
  875,000 Pesos!

As soon as I can work out the conversion to Fahrenheit, I'll be rolling in the dough!   Also, Indiana Jones fell from a plan onto a mountain with a grown woman and a chinese kid in tow, and the raft saved them all. It did not diminish my enjoyment of Temple Of Doom. Still kind of iffy on Crystal Skull. Some of it really worked for me (the shot of Indy in front of the mushroom cloud was amazing), but stuff like the vine express and the lumberjack mobiles just seemed a bit too silly for me.

Romancing the stone.

Damn it! I thought it would be a tough nut to crack! *Sigh* Oh well. Nicely done, Armageddon. *Slow clap*

Your turn, sir.

For making you a real man. You should be thankful to him!

I am! Thanks, Mr. Highfil! I wouldn't be the dancing cow I am today without you! "Jif" forever!!

I say "jif" because that's how my old computer lab teacher, Mr. Highfil pronounced it. I also say "Gee You Eye" instead of "gooey" because of him. I blame him for lots of things, actually.

If only Barn Runner met the "no naughty pictures" rule....

That, sir, falls under the "libelous accusations" rule! Well, it would if it weren't true.

Sweet! It drove me crazy all morning until I suddenly realized that was the "they're for my wife... she's pregnant" scene from Die Hard.

I should be home in a few hours. I'll post a new shot then.

UPDATE: Now with 100% more screenshot than before!


Hint:

Spoiler

It's not Blade Runner

Unless it is

You may have noticed but I have less and less time to do blog stuff these days, so if anyone would like to do an incredibly in-depth retrospective of the Barn Runner series in weekly installments followed by a shockingly insightful look at the more esoteric corners of the Oceanspirit Dennis universe, I'd love to hear from you.

Hmmm.... A tempting offer...

Oh noes! Why do I have to be stuck at work on today of all days! Curse my gainful employment!!

Congrats on finally finishing this game, which will surely be your legacy for years to come.

EDIT: Finished! Very fun little game. Brought back many pleasant memories of my early Nintendo days. 

Shhh, Baron! Stop giving away secrets! And stop drawing attention away from my fundraiser! I've already raised $2 Canadian and £3 Scottish. Add those together and that's like 4.25 non-metric dollars! I'm on a roll!

From Dusk Til Big Time? Die Hard Til Dawn?

What is the largest scrolling room size (in pixels) ever used in an AGS game?

Well, in Barn Runner: The Rich Dame Who Cut The Cheese...

Spoiler

I used one that was 6,560 pixels wide.

Do I win a prize?

If I can find a little time between all my trips to Famous Dave's, I think I may have an idea for this.

Have no fear, all is well with Ponch. A few of my co-workers and friends have people over in that part of the state but as far as I know. all of their loved ones are accounted for. But no matter how you slice it, it's a real mess.

Die Hard?

I'd join. It's getting to that point where I could use a distraction from my main project.

Your long in the works, secret Oceanspirit Dennis project? Seriously, why get my hopes up just to dash them? Why!?!

Late July / early August would work for me too.
