[VOTE COW 2012!]

President Mitt Romney


What could be scarier!

President Cow! 

Vote for me and everyone gets a free gun! And all the women get free breast implants! And free spankings! And I promise to invade Canada and use its stronger economy, moose-covered oil fields, and large natural reserves of politeness to carve out another 50 states of God blessed awesomeness!! (The bagged milk we'll give to starving kids in Australia or something. Can't have that sort of abomination in my New America^TM!)

VOTE COW 2012!

Hmmm... I think I'm going to have a new avatar in November. Until then, get to work, SSH! Stories of haunted blogs aren't going to write themselves! 

No-one dressed up as a ghostly cow?

I know! It's an injustice! I guess Scottish Hooligan and Friendly Canadian were the more popular choices this year! 

Also, where's your spooky story, SSH? This thread has lots of room for it.    Oh! I know! You could write a chilling tale about a blog that rarely gets updated! 

It was hidden in plain sight -- in the one place you (and Dualnames) would never look!

Time to call it Barn Jordan.

Ben Jordan and Barn Runner both hit the AGS scene at the same time. Sadly, Ben Jordan has always had a higher profile than Prick Peckard. But I never gave up hope that my games and I would one day be embraced by the AGS Community. And now that Grundy has finally collapsed from exhaustion*, I can roll him out of the spotlight and bask in a little reflected glory. 

(*It was all the rotoscoping that finally did him in  )

You've never experienced Halloween first hand? Oh Tzachs! You missed out on all that is best in life... Halloween is second only to Christmas morning in terms of childhood awesomeness! Oh well, at least you still have Santa Claus.

Oh wait... You're Jewish...

Oh Tzachs! You're missing out on everything that made childhood magical!

Well, at least you can still start your day off right with a nice plate of bacon and eggs. It's the simple things in life that matter the most.

Oh wait... 

I look forward to reading your spooky story that I am in no way blackmailing you to write.

p.s. And if you want to frame it, here's the full size version

The SSH mask is even creepier at this size! 

They say with this mixer, they recorded some Beatles records.

Some rich AGSer needs to buy this for Pixel Hunt.

So this was all part of a clever plot and her birthday was just a smoke screen? Clever! Clearly we've all underestimated Cat.

I still don't have the heart to finish Forever Friday - Part 3.. because then I'll have no more Barn Runner left... *whimper*

The end? Don't be silly! Forever Friday part 4 comes out December 1st. And then parts 5 and 6 will come out next. You still have a few years of Barn Runner ahead of you. 

And if you want to unlock another ending or two...

That "Ghosts...Arson" tagline is hilarious   Hmmm...have a semi-spooky tale rolling around in my head.

Thanks! If you look carefully, the trick or treaters are carrying shaving cream, toilet paper, a plastic bag of rotten veggies, and a carton of eggs. Ryan Timothy is also carrying some chinese takeout, but that may just be for snackin' if he gets hungry later.

I look forward to reading your story, Kconan. 

Happy b-day, Cat! 

Come back one day, Ram Ghost
You were way more awesome than any fake ghost cow!

Yeah! 


Wait... 

It's getting so dark in this thread.

Have we stopped to consider that he may have been a RAM Ghost all along? Perhaps he finally had enough successful spooks and he was able to escape the hellish prison wonderful community that is the AGS forums?

That's how I prefer to think of it. He ascended to the next level of existence rather than deleted his account in a drunken stupor.

Godspeed little ram ghost. Godspeed. 

That's a great graphic, Ponch. I may even enter this competition.. I may have to dust off my writing skills.
I always knew I was hip enough for people to wear my face (and he's black).

Thanks! I put almost no time into it, but it seems to have done the trick. I hope it inspires lots of people to enter the contest. And I have it on good authority that the "Ryan Timothy" mask is the most popular one in the AGS Avatar line among inner city youth, ages 8-12. Canadians have lots of "street cred" with the urban market -- but you knew that already, I'm sure. 

Blade Runner?

(Oh man! It felt so GOOD to do that! I've missed this thread so much! )

And this has been another installment of "Coding With Cows". Tune in next week when somebody puts the milking function in repeatedly_execute_always and hijinks ensue! 

Nice graphic!  Who's working the sock puppet behind WHAM?  Or is that just some sort of weird neck growth?

Thanks! I spent almost twenty minutes drawing it on my lunch break today! 

And for the record, that's not WHAM. It's only a kid dressed as WHAM for Halloween (we AGSers are incredibly popular with kids, don't you know). The sock puppet is a young girl who is going trick or treating as Cat's avatar. You can see her arm and part of her hair behind not-WHAM's helmet. I can only assume her legs line up perfectly behind his, explaining why you don't see them (it's certainly not because I was in a hurry trying eat my spicy chicken sandwich at Jack in the Box and made an obvious mistake while drawing -- no sir! And I resent that you would even suggest such a thing. How dare you!)

The trick or treater costumes are (from left to right): Ryan Timothy (old avatar), Cat, WHAM, Darth Mandarb, Baron, ProgZmax, Frito Master, Tzachs, and SSH. I was hoping that the Ponch Ghost-Cow costume would be a big hit with the kids this year, but I guess I just couldn't compete with "Tireless Ron Paul Supporter." The tweens just love that dreamy Ron Paul! (Curse you, Ron! Let a cow share a little of the spotlight too!)

Perhaps we should hold a seance? I can't think of a better way to speak with a ghost.
