I've had a soft spot for this game for a long time. I love the goofy pulp adventure story that it tells. As others have said, the puzzles are kind of weak, but the jokes land nicely and the art is quite nice for the era in which it was made.

I feel the "thought provoking" category has merit.  We focus a lot in our voting on the elements of writing (setting, atmosphere, plot, character, word style) but not so much on the message, which is really the whole point of writing anything in the first place.

Incorrect! The only point of writing is to win little pixel trophies. They are the only thing that give life any meaning!

Best Character: Sinitrena
Best Spectacle: Funnyboy

Most Thought Provoking: Mandle

It's a joke. I was at the ceremony that year. Technobabylon won all the AGS Awards. After awhile, the guys ran out of acceptance speeches.

One of my favorite reviewers on the tubes has reviewed Technobabylon. Hopefully this higher profile will help it to finally win an AGS Award.

Thanks for the plug for Fridge Follies. I can't wait for those royalties checks to start rolling in!

I have an idea for an entry, even though I might have the only entry in the competition.

As long as your entry is spectacular!

Episode 110

MAZES!

Hooray!

I reserve the right to use the word "fuck" at least twice and/or include an explicit and unnecessary sex scene. Also, I will hold fast to 499 words and cannot be swayed on this issue.

Also, are these bargains with the devil Kconan our FWC entries? That will certainly save a lot of time.

Asterix!  No, no, no, no....  I think not.   How about:

You changed the requirements after I submitted my entry. I changed the conditions necessary for winning a trophy after you declared the winners.

I humbly accept my third and a half place trophy and congratulate the other winners.

Winning the Bronze Hairpiece of Third Party Wilderness is Frodo and Mandle.  [/img]

Bronze hairpieces are all the rage, don't you know! 

Bronze is the new gold!

Indeed it is!

Finally got a chance to catch up with the latest CupCast and I was thrilled by the return of one of my favorite segments (not my most favorite, you know, but pretty close to the top of the list). Well done, gentlemen!

Also, EVERYBODY loves mazes!

I believe him! Just as soon as I get these Alex Jones water filters installed, I'm going to subscribe to Blondbraid's newsletter!

Honestly, what has he done right???

He finally got the American government to stop preparing for the Y2K bug.

Baron: Grundy's identity was only outed due to shoddy journalism. What I find more disturbing was the revelation that he's saving up enough money to buy a 3/4 scale RealDoll of himself. Goodness!

Mandle: I've been putting out issues of AGS Today for years and years. Here's one from 2011: http://www.barnrunner.com/pics/misc/AGS_Today_6.png  If anything, Peder is stealing from me!

Five years! Hooray! I hope they finally read the fan letter I sent them on April 7, 2017 (hint hint)!

That game looks great, Funkpanzer. But I don't recall giving you permission to use my likeness as a model for the fellow with the umbrella.

So does anyone else have a story they're working on? Or are they all disappearing mysteriously?
