Praise the Robot Eye! Also, Ron Gilbert and Idle Thumbs.

As someone pointed out in the other thread, DOTT has become a byword for cartoony 'round these parts, which is definetely something that should be discouraged.

EDIT: Oh, but I loved NOTT.

Furry? :o

So? Well, we're talking about giving the players something new instead of giving us sequels, and you quote a sequel as an example of something new.

I thought we were talking about the lack of adventure games today, period, as indicated by the post I originally quoted.

Redwall, it's funny you should mention Dreamfall, which is a sequel.

Err... yeah? So?

I also agree a forth is going too far, but what else have the adventure game community got to look forward to?

Err... Dreamfall? Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy?

The main thing I noticed is that the Gunner and Ranger classes are for the most part useless (either that or very under-utilized).

Quite fun anyway though.

...with a lot more original stories around?

I love playing these kind of games despite my complete suckitude at them. Downloading!

Also, the story is hilarious.

"Mutated Guano Deviser"

Yes! At last YOU TOO can make a better bat dropping!

As we get better telescopes pointed at the Kupier Belt, I suspect we'll be hearing/reading about more and more stuff like this. I say cut it off at Neptune and be done with it.

Lonely Star: If you want those kind of reviews check out Adventure Developers. (Of course, they don't have any reviews up yet, but when they do, they will be geared towards helping developers, since, as their name suggests, that's what they do.)

With the state of the world as it is now...

Will the Earth still be here in 50,000 years?

I guess it will be destroyed by some nuclear war generations from now.

No, no, no.

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.

You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.

Fools.

The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily.

I remember hearing roughly the same things about Sierra not to long ago. Ah, the cycle of life.

Not to long ago? Sierra's been nothing more than a brand for how long...?

Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers beats anything ever written. Excluding the bible

Dirk Gently beats Hitchhikers.

C.S. Lewis -> The Narnia Chronicles
The Bible
Left Behind series

If you're going to get religious, might as well mention His Dark Materials.

According to various news reports (search game or Indy news sites for them), LucasArts will switch from pumping out generic Star Wars games to pumping out generic Star Wars games and Indiana Jones games based on the new movie. Since the new movie will simply be delayed forever, they will be able to keep such a strategy running for quite a while.

I've seen this before, but it's great.

HAHAHAHAHA.

Mr. Flibble's Mum is America? Does that mean America's surname is Flibble?

America's surname is Vespucius.

Agatha tells them what their son's life would have been like if he had not been abducted.
