Good luck with your break time...actually, good luck with staying away! It's very hard not to check the forums all the time. But maybe you can work more on your games with this break time.

[NOTE to ERIC]

NOTE to ERIC
Man, it took me like 3 hours to finish this...and it's four in the morning now...I gotta go. But I wrote some stuff here that might be confusing. I'm not very good with expressing my feelings (putting them into words) and having them come out correct. I realize what started this whole thing between us. It was when I said, "What I don't like about particluar gay men, is when they act like they are a woman, talk like one, their actions, dressing like women.". I know that's what started you off. But I try to express what the hell I mean...so hopefully you can see my side a bit. Goddamn, man, I hate fighting. The thing that started it all between you and I I think, was that fucking RAP comment I said a long time ago back on the EZBoard forums...where you reemed me a new ass. So now I supposed I'm a major ass in your eyes? I hope not, but for some reason I've been getting that feeling ever since. I'm half alseep so I'll finally post this damned hting.


Eric, I think you might be overreacting a bit.

you think men should act a certain way and women should act a certain way?

Where did I ever fucking say MEN should be beer drinking sloths who love sports and know everything about mechanics? I didn't. And I for one am nothing like that. I hate that stereotypical shit as much as you do.
Look, I'm not hear to argue with you. But you've got to try to understand what I'm trying to say. I'm not as good with words as everyone here, I always get shit jumbled up and my theories/thoughts sometimes don't come out the way I'm feeling them.

You're shooting your mouth off at me like I said I hate gays and they all should be killed. I never in any way said that. I already explained that I don't mind gay men, they are who they are and that doesn't bother me, I don't give a flying circus monkey fuck if they're gay or not! They are just as much human/man as me, they just love different. I love woman, they love men. So what?
Don't you see? We're on the same side here, man, all I said was that I find it unsettling to see two gay men kissing or walking around with make-up on. I just don't like it. Why am I wrong? I can't not like that? I can't have an opinion about gay men wearing make-up? I see where you're coming from though, with the stereotype, where "men aren't supposed to wear make-up and wear dresses", but think beyond that. I'm not saying they should be in tattered jeans and wear t-shirts with grease all over them carrying a toolbox. In my opinion, men just don't look good in make-up.
Same thing about women. I don't like it when they shave their head or cut their hair real short, gay or not. I just don't find that attractive, so am I a  stereotype because I personally find women more attractive with longer hair? I didn't think so before, but maybe I am, eh?

being a MAN is having an x and y chromosome.

Exactly, that's what I meant when I wrote:

You might be gay and love men, but you're still a MAN.

I didn't mean MAN as in the stereotype MAN, "Sweaty/dirty mechanic who loves sports". Man as in MALE, having a penis.

why does there have to be these preconcived notions of what a man is?

I don't know. I didn't make up that rule, but I like I said before, I agree with you, it's stupid. It's something that's been around forever, through generations and generations. I DON'T KNOW, man. I also hate it when you watch TV sitcoms and all you see are the stereotype MAN as the husband...beer drinking, slug, loves cars and sprts and all that junk. They're all the same. It's been here since the beginning of time, where woman did nothing but make babies while man killed dinner. I think women should be able to do whatever the hell they want, work wherever they want and so on. I'm on the same page as you.

i don't know how to fix a car and i've never even driven one. i like the colour purple and i like tori amos. i don't like body hair and i hate shaving, i like teddy bears and hugging my girlfriend and i hate sports. I have slim wrists and i wear a lot of bracelets sometimes, many of them are rainbow coloured. am i still a man? if you say yes then look at this
Now what do you say?

I've seen that before
Now a little about me. I don't know anything about:
Cars
Trucks
Mechanics in general
Sports
Hunting
Guns
Wildlife
The Wilderness
Technical computer stuff
Tools
I like:
video games
adventure games
purple
I think rainbows are pretty cool
engaging in a nice conversation with a woman instead of just thinking about sex (the stereotype"sex sex sex!!")
orchestraic music
classic piano music
sunsets
multicolored christmas lights
I have slim wrists, long hair and I can't even grow a damned mustache. How's THAT for goofyness?

edit: oh yea, and overly masculine guys going to beaches and looking at girls and making cat calls and punching people and people who get way to into sports games and fight over football... these people make me uncomfortable, shouldn't they have to censor themselves too? why just gay people?

I don't know, I'm not at the head of this shit. Probably everything has gone the way it has because GAY has always been looked down upon since the beginning of time. Back then it wasn't normal, it was different and wrong. So the "wrongness" of being gay has been past down through the years to be a terrible thing and it should be cencored and children should be taught that it is wrong and all that hooplah...which isn't right.
I'm on the same page as you, Eric, I just think make-up/dresses (anything that's usually found on a woman) doesn't look good on men (that's totally my opinion!!! Just like if I said I don't like the color GREY). But I also agree with you that they should be able to do that if they want. If they like that stuff, than great, they should feel free to do it. Another point I was trying to make before was that being happy and open about your sexuality is fine, but there is a respect and decency thing too. They should have the respect and decency for the people that don't want to see that...men AND women. Just like a man and a woman rounding second base on a park bench where people walk by all the time. Not everyone's gonna want to see that, some will be discusted...some wouldn't care, some may laugh. Me, I don't care. I don't care what they do, I've said it a hundred times already. Two gay guys can make out all they want, but I'd rather not see it.
... do you kinda see what I mean?
Why am I your target anyway? Why did you choose me to blow up on just because I said I don't like to see men dressed as women? You could have calmly said, "Yeah but Snake, I don't understand why GAYs should be thought of like that and be censored by everybody where there should be needed cencoring elsewhere..." or something along those lines.
I don't know. I'll continue this tommorrow, it's too late for this, I gotta sleep,

Let me leave you alone and end this sharade with this quote of mine:

I'm not attracted to men, so I think it's unsettling, but at the same time I don't care. They're still human beings, blood/bones/emotions/opinions so they can do whatever the hell they want.

--Snake

Why don't you post your updates here instead of making us go to your messege board every time?

I love the dreamcatching part! It sounds very fun, can't wait to see some screenshots


--Snake

I don't have a problem with gay people. But to tell you the truth, I am more disturbed about gay men than gay woman, being that I am a man, and of course I love women. I think they are the most beautiful creatures to walk the face of the earth. It's something to see two woman kissing and holding hands...it's a turn on. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not attracted to men, so I think it's unsettling, but at the same time I don't care. They're still human beings, blood/bones/emotions/opinions so they can do whatever the hell they want. Same thing goes with strait women, I'm pretty sure that some think the same way as I do, they aren't attracted to women, so they find it a little unsettling to see two women kissing, doing whatever.

What I don't like about particluar gay men, is when they act like they are a woman, talk like one, their actions, dressing like women. You might be gay and love men, but you're still a MAN. You're of the male gender, why must you "prance" around and make me and a lot of other people feel unconfortable? I know we must except them for who they are, and I agree of course, but they should also understand that not everyone is comfotable about seeing that. Gay men might be all happy and comfortable with expressing their sexuality, but not everyone wants to whitness it. This I can't explain because I'm not gay myself. If I were gay I'd probably act the same way. So I don't know.

One show I do not approve of is that new one, don't know what it's called, but I heard about it. It revolves around this group of gay men that go around changing as many strait men as they can find and turn them gay (I'm just damned sick of these stupid reality shows). Why turn a strait man gay, or even a gay man strait, leave them be. They are who they are.

Tell me off if you must, if I offended you.


--Snake

Yeah, when the time comes I'll let you know

Very small update:
I came up with an awesome riddle today. It revolved around a puzzle I had previously came up with. It fits great. I should have an updated LE Ideas List for the staff tonight.


--Snake

Don't forget about our date this time, Rodeypoo.


--Snake

All new promotion and organization in first post.
It's been a while, hope you all didn't forget about this game!



--Snake

I'm sure if the Captain saw this he might find it useful, although I'm not him so I wouldn't know
Once I work on my NES style game again, I know I'd use it.


--Snake

Another Snake??2

Can two exist in the same community? PARADOX!!1

Unfortunately I've never played any of the SQ games OR the QFG games...

If it counts, my favorite adventure game of all time is The Adventures of Willy Beamish...hell, Dynamix is part of the Sierra family, so it should count for something  8)

I'm not really familiar with which servers are better or worse, so I'll leave that to everyone else that does.

I figured this would be a great topic for people who are looking for a host since that question is asked a lot.


--Snake

Heh, you're a real card, M0ds

[MINIME:]

Hello, I deleted your other thread. PLEASE READ THE RULES. You were supposed to update this original thread, not make a new one. Please remember this for further Quest for Whiskey updates...


REPLY FROM MINIME:
I played your game, but I dont fully understand the meaning of it! Lots of bad language and linear gameplay. hmm... your game needs some more action! But for a first attempt its not bad, but you could do better I think. Like for instance that house, with a looooong bed and a table with a lamp. And nothing more. That looked really weird, and empty! So fill some rooms up.

and also you should delete a dialog option when you already asked something, and make some more dialog options!

Good Luck with the game!

Hey, only I can call him TerranBitch! Tell him, Terran!

YAY! Keep up the good work, Harvey!

I thought of this earlier today, although I won't need it for my current games, but thought it would be very useful for other users.

A command that would loop specified music/SFX files is what I'm thinking about. Something like:

PlaySndtrack(music1, music2, music3, music4, music5);

I think this would be useful for Vegetable Patch Turbo Extreem games, shooters and so on. It could even be used for let's say, if the programmer wanted to have a soundtrack loop for a music store or something in their game. It could even be used for sound effects...

Just an idea I came up with today. It could most likely be done with scripting anyway, but just thought I'd bring it up


--Snake

Squ0nkers, this game roxx0rs!!1

Indeedily doodily make more levels, and more tricky zombies!! And maybe different scenes...


The graphics, music and interface are awsome, man, keep it up!


--Snake

FUCKING AWESOME!

I cannot wait for this game, M0DS, I cannot!


--Snake

Damn, that's pretty sweet. Newcomer city is on it's way

Somebody revive that stalking CJ thread...

--EDIT--
Archie, when the new tuts comes out, will you scan 'em?


--Snake

Yes, you're right. DG's giving some great advice (aswell as everyone else), why not take it? I keep telling you over and over, man. Practice in paint, post pics in the critics lounge. Everyone here is here to help you. Stop taking everything the wrong way.

--EDIT--
I can see where this 13 treasures thing is possible. Just as long as the missions aren't very long, but long enough. Maybe the main character can travel from world to world and they all can interlock somehow, like maybe something you need for one world could be in another but you can't get it until something else is finished....something like that
I think it would be a cool game.

--EDIT 2--
Shouldn't this be in the general AGS shit chat forum?
(that's where I told you to post it, Dave.)


--Snake

Fricking great!

But is this just a post about wanting opinions on art, or is it a promotion for the game?
