I was surprised to see you at the store in town last week. Life can be random can't it? Thanks for letting me talk to you. It's been a while, 15 years hasn't it? While shuffling through my box, I came across this again, I thought you might like it back (don't worry, I scanned it).

This is my entry:

It is what it is.

Here's a link to the high res?
Is it here.

"Hey, be careful on that ladder, you wouldn't want it to fall," spoke a voice in a garbled whisper.
Greg started teetering, "No, I got this. I'll just continue to the top." He started to ascend again, looking onwards toward the end of the ladder. His hand reached for the next rung, it wasn't there. Greg continued climbing. He began to fall.

    Greg shot up from under the covers, pitch black. He reached for his phone on his bedside table, 1:20 A.M. Ugh... the night was off to a bad start, he laid back down.

    "Now listen up class, today we will be covering basic math that you should have learned in high school. Now if you don't know how to count raise your hand. Greg looked around, and saw his cousin with his hand raised. "Oh yeah, I'm visiting my cousin for the weekend," Greg jumped from his chair to greet his cousin.
    "It's so nice that you could come to class with me!" exclaimed Lesley.
    "I know, I just wish that I could stay later than Monday."
    "What day is it?"
    "Sunday."
    "Everyone, stand up," the teacher commanded.

    Greg sat up, it was still dark. Keeping his eyes squinted, he shuffled to the bathroom.

    There was a knock on the door, Greg went to answer it, "Hey there buddy, would you like to buy some llama traps?"
    "But it's the middle of the night." Greg squinted, "and you're a llama."
    "No, I'm an alpaca, some call me a llama with no mama."
    Greg wasn't sure if llamas were different from alpacas, but he wasn't going to question this salesman. "Hey Joe, there's a llama trap by the door."
    Joe rushed to the door. "Oh Greg, I wasn't expecting to see you."
    "Me neither, I haven't seen you in years, how's Lana?"
    "She was taken away."
    "Why?"
    "She stopped believing in Santa. I have a book about it right here."
    Greg took the book and opened it. 'Girl Stolen by Wild Elves is Kidnapped by Santa' the article read. "Wait a second, if I am dreaming, how can I read?" He looked again, 'aligator salesman dresses up as santa and eats grapes' "Wait, this isn't the same thing, I'm dreaming!"
    "I know," said Joe.
    "Wait, but if I'm dreaming, then I've overslept, I need to wake up now!"

    Greg unraveled himself from the bathroom carpet, he must have fallen asleep in there. If only he hadn't killed that last dream, sleeping on the carpet was better than no sleep at all. "I need to find a way to keep asleep," Greg said out loud to himself. “Aha,” he thought, he had read online that lucid dreaming, realizing that one is dreaming, allowed one to control one's dream. “If I can control my dream, then I can control when I wake up!” Greg was ecstatic. He shuffled back to his room and lay down in his bed. “I will lucid dream tonight, I will lucid dream tonight,” his brain repeated to himself.

   Greg sat up, it was still dark, and he had awoken again. I might as well read, reading puts people to sleep, he went to his bookshelf and picked up a book. How to Lucid Dream was the title. “I don't remember this book,” he thought. He opened it, and started reading, “This is awesome, if I can read books while dreaming, then I will have more time not to read them during the day. But if this is a dream, then the book I'm reading is not actually real, and my mind must have made it up, thus there is no point in reading. Wait a second! I'm dreaming!”
   â€œYou should wake up now, you're dreaming, you will miss work.”
   â€œNo I won't,” Greg thought, “I have an alarm set, I will wake up when it goes off. I'm lucid, this means that I can control my dream. I want to see what's been causing my horrible sleeping patterns.” He looked but didn't see anything, he turned around, and there before him was a beast with three horns growing out of its chest, purple eyes and a wide gaping mouth. It stood in front of him, mouth agape.
   â€œHello,” it said, “I'm the god of rude awakenings,” and with that the beast shoved Greg.
   Greg saw what the beast was doing. Resisting the urge to wake up, Greg made the ground start to fall away, there would be no landing. He started to hover. If this was lucid dreaming, it was awesome.
   â€œI have a few questions to ask you,” Greg stated, starting to right himself. “Why do you torment me so? What have I done to deserve this punishment?”
   â€œNothing really,” said the beast, “You're just human, and therefore cursed. Cursed I tell you, for your puny little minds cannot withstand my beating, no one can, and no one will.” The beasts voice was increasing in volume, “And you shall know that I have dominion over you, for you shall not have a good night's sleep, you will not sleep until morning, for this is what I have commanded!” The beast's voice reached a crescendo of loudness, beating down on Greg's ears making it almost impossible not to wake up.
   â€œI want quiet!” Greg screamed, and there was silence. Greg looked at the beast, its mouth was shut. “Listen here you, I have dominion over this dream, over this area, over you. You are in my dream, therefore I control you. Speak, quietly, tell me how I stop you from ruining my night.” Greg dropped down to the floor, to the god's level and leaned on the bookshelf.
   â€œYou can't defeat me, I shall forever haunt you, and you won't always be able to control me, for it has been decreed that I'm the one to wake all of you up. Without me, you will never wake up, you do not wish to banish me from your mind. There are those that have, but they either die or accept me back into their mind, for they cannot leave without me.”
   â€œThis is not what I asked, I want to know why you torment me, why must you ruin my sleep in the night.”
   â€œThis is because I need to, there is not much to waking you up. But I exist in your mind, in your subconscious, and the feeling of waking up is like a drug. I wake you up when I feel I need to. But you cannot conquer me, for I am part of you.”
   â€œWake me up no more tonight, you have gotten your fill, I have been woken up more than enough.”
   â€œI dislike your arrogance, but as you have come this far to try and defeat me, I shall abstain.”

   Greg opened his eyes, it was day. He had defeated the god, if only temporarily. He jumped out of bed, ran to the bathroom and began his morning routine. His ride to work was uneventful, just the same dumb people driving like maniacs.
   â€œI need you to complete this paperwork,” the boss said dropping five feet of paper on his desk.
   â€œOkay I'll have it done by tonight,” Greg said cheerily, and set to work.
   â€œBeep, beep, beep, beep, the fire alarm went off, it was at this moment Greg realized he was in a dream.
   â€œStupid beast can't even keep his promises, just wants to wake me up.” He opened the door to his office, and noticed the mayhem outside. Everyone was running around dropping paper on the floor. Greg ran into the crowd and hid under a desk.
   â€œI haven't seen you in forever, it was so nice for you to invite me to your office.”
   There hiding under the desk with him was his cousin Lesley.
   â€œYou hear that alarm,” Lesley said, “I'm the one who started it.”
   They sat there for what seemed like ten minutes, then the alarm stopped.
   â€œFalse alarm, everybody,” the intercom screeched, “Some monkey pulled the fire alarm.”
   Greg looked back at Lesley, who was no longer there. He just sat there.

   Greg opened his eyes slowly, the sun shone through his window, creating patterns of tree shadows on his bed. Greg felt refreshed, he was glad he was able to sleep the rest of the night.
   â€œI wonder what's on the news,” he thought, picking up his phone. He turned it on the time said 11:25 A.M. He looked for a second at the time, before it sank in, his boss would be so pissed. “Goddammit Beast!”

[Find out in this two weeks' Fortnightly Writing Competition!!]

It has been said that in order to write a good story, one must introduce conflict; that if something can go wrong it should go wrong. This is the sad fact of fiction, that the focus, The One, the protagonist shall face many trails, many placing him/her at an unfair disadvantage. A life of misfortune within the story, the everlasting struggle to beat the authors road blocks. But what if the character is tired, tired of all the misfortunes that plague their life. They shall fight one more battle to end it all... to defeat the author, their oppressor, the divine God that controls their world. Although he loves his creation, he has the best interest of himself, to sell books, not make his creation happy. Can the protagonist gain his freedom? If he does, is it the end?

If you are reading this, I am probabley dead.

Dead from all the love that you are going to inevitbly send me. In fact after you read this you will be unable to resist my pull.
I am a liberal arts major undergrad at the university and am the hardest working person I know, everybody says so. I have knowledge and intelegence in regaurds to all aspects of liturature and writing. My classmate told me that i was even smarter then the teacher. I am currently writing a book, it is quite good, with a bit of tu quoque scattered within its pages. I am also looking to share my apartment in exchange for editting of my works. I will provide this to you for free. Once you come to live with me, I will make a fortune from my writings about true love, which symbolize the relationship we will have. The first character will be called seamus (pronounced Shame us, something which this living together will not do). The second will be sam, a lesbian which seemus woos to live with him and they fall in love, the perfect modern romance. Not only will you get to live with me, I will provide all things for you from my book earnings and we shall always have fun going to the little sushi shop on federal and james and come back home to watch new episodes of Kimishi no Bondino and Santanko Kimchi no Mochi. So as you can see, not only is it benificial for me for you to live with me, but also for you as i will provide everything you need ever.
Thanks,
Uncle Sane wants you.
Please only call if you are a cute female, in her early 20s, preferably Japanese or Korean, but americans and black people, but no mexicans or north koreans (unless your kim jong un, Seth Rogan gave me great ideas.) can also apply. Not everyone will get in as I do have high standards for people who I will let be with me.

A head on the door has control of the door and doesn't want you to go in. He makes a "Hrngh" sound that correlates to you trying to open the door. The sound should denote that the head is actively keeping the door shut. The player must then find a "blindfold" and "earplugs" and attatch them to the head. This make it so the head is not aware of the players presence.

A door with a musical note plays a sequence of beats hidden under the soundtrack. The player must turn down the music volume (you could also have a source of sound, such as a record player located somewhere within the building) to hear to code. The player then uses that series of beats as a code to open the door via knocking.

As has been stated before, the ags games that at least five people haven't rated page needs cleaning up. I have stated that we should find a way to do this efficiently. This thread is for the recommendation of games that need rated. In this thread we will discuss the games that need to be rated, which ones we played and whether or not we recommend it. Please note that if you play a game and rate it and it needs no more ratings, recommend it anyway. The artists who created the game deserve more respect and fame than just five votes if their game is good. There are currently hundreds of games that need rated hereand games that no one has either played or rated here. Not only will this help clean up the database, but it will give content creators the respect they deserve.
To start off, I recommend 4-lung boy. Although it may not be everyone's cup of tea, 4-lung boy is quite interesting, with funny characters. It, however, has a lot of randomness, which some people may not enjoy.

In the long term, I would find it nice to see an actual section of the AGS forums be recommendations. For obscure games, to games that no one has played, to games with new and interesting ideas and recommendation requests. First we must work on rating those games and giving the game makers what they deserve! Who's with me?

Half point to construed and snake. Combine them and they are perfect.

If possible, we could create another section on the forums called "Games to be played" or "Games to be rated." This section could be used for game recommendations and for rating. A developer could easily post in this forum asking for ratings on their new games. This would also allow people to post which game they are planning on rating, and the amount of people needed to rate the game before it is fully rated. Allowing recommendation would lead to people finding unknown gems that they never new existed. The recommendations would also spur on how fast games are fully rated. Another improvement this section would make is the possibility of asking for new and interesting games to play. For recommendations, this would also improve the ratings of games that have five or more votes. (The more votes, the better right?) This ideas just my two cents, tell me what you think. (Sorry if it's not easy to create a new section.) BTW, 4 lung boy only needs one more vote (I think. It would be helpful to know and sort by how many people have rated a game.). I had fun with this short game.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon also! YAY!:-D
We could drastically decrease the numbers of games that need to be voted for by creating a system. Such as going through alphabetically, or a person picking a game that we all play, as to decrease the number of games steadily.

We need more people! However, I do really wonder how this will end.

Got prison architect. Was going to buy the new bioshock, but thought I could wait till winter.

Bonus points if you can animate a sprite of how you think WYZ looks and walks, make sure to voice act it to show the way you think he talks also.
