Hey guys, can you tell us how our game plays? We could really use some feedback.

Quote from: BlueAngel on Sun 24/07/2011 20:17:14Did we examined the wallet to check its all empty?
I asked that just a little bit ago and got ignored. :P
Yes, but he looks like a geek kid. The only thing you'll find in his wallet is possibly an expired and abused, unused condom. :P  But then again, that may be useful...

Including that sparking electrical panel. If there is a chance that's what caused the power outage, we'll want that to be our priority.

Excellent!

Examine/read the clipboard.

Yeah I agree with taking him to the room with the creature and leading him in first. But, I know very well that he won't enter first.. so perhaps you can trick him into unloading his clip into the beast so that you're both equipped with an empty hand gun. Or he simply just dies. :)

The door to that room must open toward the inside of the room, otherwise the creature wouldn't have been clever enough to open the door the opposite way (especially if it's dumb enough to chase beeping hands). So open the door for this man, knock out your torch so it's dark, and dart down the hallway to a random room (hopefully back to this room). He won't see you running down the dark hallway because he's facing an evil creature and won't really care about you anymore.

I thought this was one of your "The forums aren't as they used to be" annual threads.  :=

Definitely isn't be Weekend at Bernie's.
Are there any details you can share? Like are the kids mostly white? Is the boy that dies white? Etc. Also how did he die at the party.

Read/examine the clipboard looking item that is on the floor.
Look in the vent for more cool eggs, or whatever/whoever else may be in there. Or even for a possible exit.
Inspect the sparking electrical unit, it may be the reason for the power going out - see if you can fix it / turn it off.

If the vent proves to be a possible exit: if the door locks, lock it. Otherwise block the door with a hunk of meat. And exit through the vent after confronting the man and taking anything he's willing to give you. Including his dirty underwear if he's willing to part with it.

Hold the bone torch to the sparks and hope it lights.
Then examine what is hanging from the ceiling.

Don't do it, monkey! It's a trap! Canada has the metric system! And their milk comes in bag form!!1!  ;)
Mmmm I love bag milk. You can't get any closer to a tit than a big bag of milk.
As for the metric system. What sounds better: my penis is 6 inches long, or my penis is 15 1/4 centimeters long. Hmm? Need I say more?
I definitely won that argument.

I would totally move to Canada and be RT's cleaning lady.
I hope you wear skimpy little clothes too. ;)
My house isn't unbelievably filthy, it just lacks a little cleaning. Like sweeping the hardwood or vacuuming. That's pretty much the only thing that's horribly dirty. So most of the time you'd be sitting on your ass, Ben. :(  And that's no fun for me if you're wearing skimpy clothes. haha

And they have those bugs that are a cross between roaches and scorpions!!!!
I know nothing of these scorchions. But we do have mosquitos and deer. Watch out for the deer, they like to accidentally attack cars.

As of the last time I went to Canada, that fine nation did indeed require a passport to enter into its glorious domain.
Oh now you sound like you're just trying to suck up. I'm not the prime minister. I can't get you citizenship unless you marry me. :P

Also, from what I've heard, the cost of living is somewhat higher than in the US, at least in terms of real estate and food. But RT is much more qualified in this regard.
Well minimum wage here is $10.25 and according to wikipedia US is approximately between $5-$8. So yes, food and the cost of living should be a little higher. I know McDonald's and other fast food restaurants is nearly half the price in the US, which pisses me off every time I drive down there. A case of 24 beer bottles is no cheaper than $28.95 (I believe I'm correct on that figure). And the sates is probably around $15-20 at the most. Damn alcohol taxes. Hell even Quebec has beer that's 2/3's the price of Ontario's.

I know my father has spoken of buying land in the US since it's dirt cheap compared to here. My house was $212,000 and it's a semi-detached (meaning my house is attached to another person's house making two houses one - but divided down the center. no idea how popular these are in the US).

So yes. The cost of living is a little more expensive than what you're used to in the US.

Is that a serious offer to move to Canada? Coz if it's even remotely serious then we should discuss it.
I was half joking, half serious - just putting it out there. I know if I didn't own half this house with my twin brother, I would definitely be down for it. But he may not be. And since he makes almost $10 more an hour than I make ($15 versus $24), I kinda need him to share the mortgage and bills. lol
He's gone for the week so I wouldn't be able to bring it up to him.

With you living somewhere near Texas, that would be one hell of a climate change for you, especially considering summer is nearly half through and you'd be jumping into our lovely winter soon. lol

And IF you'd be able to move in here, I do have a spare bedroom that you'd be able to pretty much live in. I'd of course have to move several boxes out of it. lol. The day we moved in we placed literally every box that wasn't important into the spare bedroom and haven't touched them since. lol Damn we're lazy.

It's a brand new house that we built (Travis, my twin brother actually framed it). The basement isn't finished yet. Grass hasn't been laid yet. But I think it's pretty nice.

But there is actually one really large problem, monkey. It's a very small town. There are only a few businesses here that you could actually get a job at. No taxi's. No buses. 25 minute drive to the nearest city / large town, fortunately there is one in nearly every direction of us.

I'm currently working in the grocery store in town. It used to be my father's business but he sold it in March and I'm sticking around for now. You can Google it if you want, you may only see Wellington street on the street car view thing, the satellite view is low res and blurry. It's Drayton, Ontario, Canada (n0g 1p0). You'll actually be able to see the grocery store too, but other than that, it's varieties stores owned by Asians and there several churches - actually way too many for such a small town.

Move to Canada man. My house is definitely looking for someone to clean it. And once I get grass, which will be a matter of weeks, I'll definitely need someone to mow it.  :=

Anyway, I hope you make it out alive. I've noticed with money it doesn't feel like there is an in-between. It feels like you either have money just piling in and saving up faster than you can even think of what to spend it on, or you're juggling your paychecks to pay your bills. I actually expected that once I bought this house in December, that I would have been struggling to pay my mortgage. I was unbelievably stressed signing the documents from the lawyer, the bank, calculating my monthly payments to realize how tight it was. But it's crazy, I'm very relaxed and seem to have more money than I did while renting, even though this works out to be a hundred or two more than the apartment a month.

Is there any way you could get a loan or credit card to help out your situation? Sometimes spending more money than you have is the only way to remedy the situation. Of course, unless you're bad at budgeting your money and end up in even more of a mess.

I have a brother who was always in debt. He would always find things he'd rather spend his money on instead of saving it up. Smokes, alcohol, video games, women, expensive snacks, etc. Even while he had a $1000 rent a month, he decided he didn't like his job anymore and just randomly quit. He was throwing everything onto his credit cards and living like someone who still had a job. Rent was backing up. The landlords were threatening to evict him. Everything he bought new was tossed onto a credit card or he signed up for a buy-now-pay-later deal where he didn't have to pay for a year or something. Anyway, where my story was going, he ended up owing $30-50,000 on credit cards and such. Of course no one can pay that off in a sensible time and it'll end up just costing more in the long run.

His credit rating is so messed up, he couldn't even get a car with my dad cosigning for him - and my father has an outstanding credit rating. I didn't realize how important your credit was until his little spending moment. Maybe with him there as my older brother, he taught me before I even had a credit card, what NOT to do with it. Maybe he's the reason I don't go spending crazy no matter how exciting it may be, or easy it may seem.

Anyway, sorry for sidetracking, it was kind of a related topic. I'm not saying you're crazy with your money or anything. I know what losing a job can be like. I walked away from my job about a year ago and didn't worry about getting a new job for about a month. I literally sat around at home and said screw getting a job, I'm enjoying this sitting at home. I ended up spending my entire nest egg, and once I got a job, it took me months to balance everything out back to normal.

I hope everything works out for you. Or just move to Canada and be my cleaning bitch. haha

Why not just get a free screen capture program and upload the video (high quality) for us to see, rather than a mock animation which may look nothing like the problem you're having.

That's it.  I have a right to participate in the forums and ask questions.
Now is the time to take action.
Oh shit guys. He's going to the police!! I'm too young for prison!

No seriously dbuske. You started a thread asking a question about combining multiple rooms. We try to figure out what you're asking for since you didn't even explain yourself OR answer anyone's questions. You simply just told me to grow up... I'm hurt man. Here I was trying to be your best online friend and you attack me with hate.

Sure my response in the other thread was a little sassy, but it's the bloody internet - and you DID create a thread asking the exact same question as another but denied it, and won't let us know what it really was you were asking.

How do we help you if your only clue is:
Hey guys, I opened AGS, scripted some stuff and now it's giving me an error. How do I fix it?
(Plus what Matti wrote above)

Also don't attack us on our sassy responses while your messages aren't any better.

I dunno man. If you would've made the intro skip able, I would have played it more than twice. Perhaps even a save/load feature. Just because it's OSD, doesn't mean it needs to be completely annoying.  :=
