Gah maybe I accidentally left a spell transparent and forgot to disable it? Bleh!

Fuck it. It adds character. And under the circumstances as to WHY it was made in the first place, it's perfect.

Not to get off topic or anything, but, I've got a question for my mutant son:

IceMeat, what in the good fuck is up with the title, Pub Master Quest anyway? It makes absolutely no sense to me. There is nothing taxing about getting drunk at the pub. That's all I can think of. I'm picturing CHEERS with a bunch of past video game characters sitting around the bar reminiscing about the good old days.
Seriously, MeatHead, explain to me where the word PUB makes sense in a game that is a FF wanna-be. And don't tell me to play them because I will not. An explaination will do just fine. With punctuation.

\\--EDIT--\\
I was thinking the same thing about the images, Khris.

\\--EDIT--\\
Or is it supposed to be pronounced, PUBE Master Quest, because that would actually make a hell of a lot more sense when you think of this entire situation.

This is great, Ben. I love how:

Hilarious music too. It kind of reminds me of "Buffalo Gal (Won't You Come Out Tonight)" from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life".

I don't know if you did this on perpose or not, or maybe it's just because I'm running it under WINE in Ubuntu, but there seems to be something very strange happening with the mouse boarders. One minute it's restricting me from accessing the actions and the next with the blob. Was this done on perpose?

\\--EDIT--\\
However, this did not prevent me from "completing" it.

When did the AGS forums get tabs? Where the hell have I been anyway?

Very well said, discordance, very well said. Nobody will say it better. I agree 110%

And Ebert knows, I'm sure of it.

Hey there, Czar.

On the 21st of August it'll be 2 years since I quit. I'm not quite sure why I did it, but I always lean towards being a good friend. A friend of mine was trying to quit, for at least the second time. I guess I figured I'd give him someone to quit with.

I remember watching the end of a Red Sox game on NESN and thinking to myself, "I'm going to have one more cigarette before bed, and it'll be my last."
I sat on the couch and enjoyed every last puff until I was damn-near smoking the filter. Snuffed it out, went to bed and haven't touched one since. At the end of the next day I put a little speck on the calender to mark the first full day without a cigarette.

It was tough the next few days, especially with my wife not realizing I was quitting. She was a smoker too and still is. She has cut down quite a bit since.
I didn't tell her because I wasn't sure whether or not I was really going to do it. I didn't want to have strings attached if I caved and lit one up. She eventually noticed I hadn't been smoking. Bah. And then it was a THING. I really did QUIT for GOOD. Ah, crap. I couldn't go back now. Call it a strong will, I guess, because I haven't. Niether has my friend.

I am a smoker, and lately I'm starting to believe that a lot of my procrastination problems are related to this activity. Anybody have the same feelings about this?

Yes, I believe that is the case as well. I always thought, "Well, I guess I'll have a cigarette before I do this..." and etc. I did that a LOT.

Now, here's a thing (unrelated to the above quote). I've been a chewer for years. Scoal (Snuff), Red Man (Chew), Days O Work (Plug) and it's something I've always enjoyed doing. I love the taste and I just plain like having something in my mouth (heh - oh stop it). Working on my brothers farm for about 7 years I would have either snuff or chew in my mouth SEVERAL times a day, PLUS smoking cigarettes in between.
But, I've never found myself to be addicted to it. Wanting a cigarette on the other hand was another story. If I was out of cigarettes and I saw my brother lite up... shit that would bother me. I HATE bumming off people or even asking for anything unrelated to tobacco. So I'd stand there biting my tongue, playing with whatever is in my pockets (), eventually I would end up asking if I could "get one off him".
But anyway, my friend, whom I quit with, teases me whenever the topic of quitting smoking comes up because I still "chew". He'll say something like, "Yeah, but you still chew. You're still getting your fix."
I do not believe that is the case. I do not need a "fix". He must think that I've got a big lump of chew in my mouth every day like I did at the farm. I BARELY chew anymore at all, and that was before I quite smoking. The only time I chew is if I'm working outside and I know I'll be out there for a while, like say mowing the lawn and weed wacking. I mowed the lawn last week but I did not have a chew. The time before that I did. So it's been about a week and few days. Before that I have no idea when I had chewed.
I tried to explain to him that I don't walk around saying, "Man, I need a chew, damn I've GOT to have a chew!" then pop one in and let out a huge sigh of relief. Of course he's a huge ballbuster aswell. So what I did for the next time he wanted to be an annoyance and not shut the hell up was putting a dot on the calender every time I had a chew. It came out to about 3 chews a month. Heh, I've also told him, "I never said I quit tobacco, I quit smoking cigarettes!"
I chew, when I do, because I enjoy it and I always have. I will not stop until the doctor says that my mouth is going to turn inside out and swallow my head.

I just wanted to share that story with you. I hope it wasn't too long

I have not yet finished it, or even made it that far yet (haven't really played any AGS games in a long time), but it is a fantastic game that I do plan on finishing. You did an excellent job and I am not suprised people are still playing it.

Really. This is too much *insert emoticon here that shows how much my guts hurt from laughing*

ddq, f*ucking awesome

\\--EDIT--\\
Yes, I do realize that I put the asterisk and then put the "U" by mistake.

\\--EDIT2-\\
Drunken mistake to be entirely honest.

i does sound good...

\o/!
Alright, Snow Miser, if you post a game in the GiP forum entitled, Oceanspirit Dennis: Scourge of the Underworld... I'm going to shit* myself!

*poo

How about "Oceanspirit Dennis"?

I don't think so, M0ds. I didn't get it before accessing this thread. I've started getting it myself and it comes up every time in Icey's thread. Haven't tried anywhere else yet.

[And to everyone else:]

Change your signature for Christ sakes, Pushpop, I'm getting sick. Or at least throw it some Ritalin and calm it down.

And please. For the love of little baby Jeebus. At least try to use punctuation. I'm out of breath not even reading aloud. It doesn't matter if you can't spell. I can't spell either. Just form a goddamn sentance, would ya, SquarePants?
I'm not out to get ya, I'm just out ta help ya.

And to everyone else: The only thing I have a problem with is his signature and his inability to type and take advice and actually use it. I think it's perfectly plausible that he did in fact create that Final Fantasy game and Square took his idea.
Now, bare with me for a second, okay? Let me finish.
I'm about to tell you something that I've held back since I joined AGS. It's tough for me and I'm already getting a lump in my throat. Jeff Tunnel stole the idea for The Adventures of Willy Beamish from my game, The Life of Marty Shore. I never finished the game because it was too unbearable to know that it would always be compared to Willy Beamish and I'd be accused of it being a rip-off. I will forever hate Jeff Tunnel and SquareEnix. They steal things... for lack of a better word, like, hopes or dreams or games.

\\--EDIT--\\

For the record, you did not make Sonic.

Of course he did. It's Somic that he DIDN'T make. Fuck SEGA too.

\\--EDIT2--\\
I think the troll spray might have worked... or at least the creepy disembodied hand.

Icicle, who are you? REALLY? It's time you told everyone what your real identity is before I show everyone your PM : Time to end this!

Jesus (no, not you, Calin ), I haven't laughed this hard on these forums for a while!

Keep quiet, Calin! We already know you have vast knowledge of just about everything, shhh! You'll ruin the plan!

Wonky, I read through again and I believe it was Wyz that I was refering to. It was when he said multiplayer that I took it as online play.

I think my special power should be to ban opponents completely, forcing them to leave the match

And that's when the crowd roars and it is randomized whether or not some crazed fans rush onto the field moments before C.Leks swoops down from the sky and snatches them away.

Already implemented! Go to "Set Players" and move P1 to the middle (under no team). Start the game and watch away!

Ha, cool. I had seen that when I first played but after a while forgotten about it. Pretty fun to watch! It would make a great screensaver as well.

I've got an error for you that happened during two of the games I watched.
It is the same error messege that happened when the ball was kicked at a high speed, also very high in the air, and flew off the screen:

ACI version 3.12.1074
in "FootballerControl.asc", line 2426
from "FootballerControl.asc", line 4541
Error: GUI.X: co-ordinates specified are out of range.

I hope this helps!

This is hilarious and I haven't even loaded it downwards yet, Proggy

I know I'm an ass, but, THREE CHEERS FOR DARTH!

I think if you all of a sudden decided to stop what you are doing and actually listen to at least ONE person on these forums, Pushpop, I think it aught to be Khris. You may think he's a jerk, but he's just sick of you ignoring every bit of advice that is handed to you. He gives it to you as plain and simple, bluntly and truthfully as you need to hear it, but it goes in one ear and out your left nostril.

Dig the peanut butter and vegemite out of your ears, SquareEnix, and listen for once.

Humpetty Bump!

Hey, TZ, I just wanted to let you know I've finally played the tech demo and I am AMAZED at the work you've done already! It is really fun. Great job on the controls and programming the ball so it flies into the air and bounces and does all kinds of cool stuff. I can't wait to see the ball rolling!

Also, will you implement an option to WATCH a game? I selected Footballer and I didn't have to do anything but protect the goal, which was pretty fun, but having an option to watch a game pan out on it's own would be awesome, especially if you get to choose who is on what team.

Great job, man, this is going to be quite the game when it gets finished - I can't wait for it

Also, I can't reemember who mentioned it, but having online support to play other AGSers for real would be "the balls"!

I wanted to meet the middle grounds between an arcade and a simulator...

@DrWhite
That's why he's going to implement everything I suggested above

Hahaha, Duals!

Anyway, will this game feature cool special abilities or power-ups for each player? Like say I, for instance, can slither around on the ground at a high speed and and steal the ball with my long tongue while knocking opponents off their feet, Calin could freeze opponents with his beauty and Andail, let's say he's goalie, can talk the opponent down with philosophy? This idea could be great!

Heh, I have yet to play the demo but I will soon, I promise
