According to IMDB, his next projects are:

Bloodrayne (In Post-Production already)
Hunter: The Reckoning
FarCry

I mean COME ON. It's obvious that he's crap at making video game films. So *WHY* does he continue to do them?!

At least it's nothing important.

I cannot believe people fell for this.  :o  :'(

Private downtime? As opposed to... public downtime?

Creating your own dialog system isn't too difficult provided you have a decent grasp of programming, and if you tend to put a lot of script in your dialogs (animations and such) it's sometimes easier to foresake the built-in dialog editor anyway. (although it is nice for organizing stuff)

Script modules - just in time for the ATC, eh?

Come on, people. If you're going to mention terrible movies made from Crichton's books, at least mention Congo or The 13th Warrior!

In the beginning, the almighty God created man and Adventure, and it was good. He gave to his greatest followers Lucas and Sierra the power to create Adventure, and to teach others to do the same.

For a time, man lived in harmony with God, aided by Adventure. But then, the Doom came, and evil spread throughout the world. The Second Doom came, and soon after the three Quakes, and Adventure and the worship of God was forgotten.

Then God spoke to his prophet Chris Jones and said to him, "Go forth! And teach all to make Adventure and worship Me!" And the humble Chris Jones said, "Oh Lord Almighty of Heaven and Earth! How can I make Adventure without the ancient tools?"

And so God gave Chris Jones the Adventure Creater, and it was good. He sent Roger, the greatest son of Sierra and an Angel of God, to watch over Chris Jones.

With the word of God and the Adventure Creator, Chris Jones created the Manual, the Holy Word of the almighty God that taught others to create Adventure with the tools given to Chris Jones by the Lord.

Chris Jones then left his home and carried with him only a Blue Cup to show his devotion to his Lord. And he gave the Adventure Creator to others, and the Manual, and soon men were once more making Adventure.

And then He created the Holy Forum for all who worship God and his prophet Chris Jones to gather and help others create Adventure, and it was good.

But then we wouldn't be able to see him.

Off topic, but the oil thing is complete bogus. No one has any idea when our oil reserves will run out, though many people throw out numbers like that for whatever purpose they might have.

The assignment element is still there, for those who have signed up but aren't on a team by the deadline.

I assume that as one of the best artists here, Loominous posts his art somwhere he can actually get helpful critics as opposed to "HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME HOW DO YOU DO THAT AAAG ORGASM" kind of stuff he'd get posting here.

No, I meant just browsing in stores... all the crap The Adventure Company puts out, for instance.

While I enjoy a bout of CS, I prefer UT w/ Instagib myself... No weapons, no armor, no chances. (and Fatman's the Universal Equalizer)

The Ody one could represent boredom, sarcasm, Ody's personality... like "Oh, joy. "

Pip shows a kind of child-like innocence.

Max could be used for acts of senseless violence and needless agression... hmm, better scratch that.

Actually, a lot of casual gamers* play adventures and buy them by just browsing... though they wouldn't care about the resolution, so your argument is still valid.

*i.e. Girls

While I dont share layabouts particular view on it, I've never really seen what all the hub-bub is about CS, seriously? what makes it any better then any other on-line FPS?

And this steam thing sounds like they made it impossible to use this software with out a high speed connection?

I dont know. Give em an on-line version of hitman anyday, plan your kills, like a real killer would

C

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow's online mode... kind of.

Yeah, I didn't recognize Ody until I checked the filename.

That guy whose handle was Spanish for cheese something...?

Most current commercial adventures are in 800x600 anyway IIRC. It's only 3d games that run much higher.
