And I really had a good laugh when I recognised "Ron". What, me worry?

[smartass]He's called "Alfred E. Neuman".[/smartmass]

Wow, this game is so full of cool awesomeness and awesome coolness!

I'm sorry, but I admited that we all have our own opinion and you blamed me to be "not ready to be swayed by any argument there can be".
I don't react very friendly to this kind of talk.
And you conversated about my point in a quite disrespecting way.
Besides, I just wanted to contribute one of my disappointing endings.
And then you asked me, why I think, it's disappointed.
Then you questioned my all my points.
Wich was the point I tried to explain that it's just my opionion and you don't have to share it.
But you wouldn't let go.
(You don't seem to be ready to be swayed by arguments.)
Well, in a nutshell: I got tired of this dull conversation so I decided to end it.
However, I'm off to bed.

I can be swayed by any argument there can be.
I just wanted to state that both of us has different points of view.
But you just had to continue this discussion.
Wich obviously shows, that you are the stubborn one here.
The reason I took your analogy this way is, that it just doesn't make any sense.
You can't just say cuteness of 0 is the same as cuteness +10 if the cuteness has always been 0.
And now cut the crap.

I would rather go over to another ending:
The ending of Simon the Sorcerer 3D.
It's not a bad ending.
It has, unlike StS2, a climax at the end.
I never finished StS2, though, so i can't give any opinion about that.
However, StS3D does have one of those sudden cliffhanger endings.
When will Simon's odysse finally end?!?
There is just cliffhanger after cliffhanger and the story gets crazier and crazier, and you wonder where the creators are going.
Well, I hope part 4 will reveal one thing or another.

Yeah, those toons have always been cute, but when you start modifying it you play upon their natural essence.

Think of it like every toon starting of with 0. The cutifier adds +10 to their cuteness. The malevolator adds -10. And they have a limit of +10 or -10 either way. Always seemed logic to me.
Alright, Dr. RPG...
That would mean, they are cute despite having a 0 in cuteness.
And now let's cut this nonsense!

Quotethink, that's a happy end not quite related to the plot.
QuoteYOUR OPINION IS WRONG!

Well, sure, if you want to disavow the possibility of actual story development it can be quite an unacceptable ending. I suppose you prefer predictable ones?
No, I prefer good ones.
I don't see how another ending would disawov the possibility of actual story development.
I just want a proper ending.
According to Aristotoles is an end that which itself naturally follows some other thing, either by necessity, or as a rule, but has nothing following it.
And I don't know why you inserted my "YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!" quote.
Don't you get irony?

Why flux turned normal? Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? Hit him with the cutifier and he became sickeningly cute; hit him with the malevolator and he became normal, cancelling the cutifier. If you malevolated him again, he'd become evil.
Well, I guess, it would make sense on some level, but why doesn't malevolating any other cute toon turn them into a crazy toon?
I mean yes, those toons have always been cute.
But why would it make a difference?
I think this cancelling out thing is just a cop-out.

You tried to get back home, and you succeeded.

Yeah, for five minutes! Great succes!
However, he's probably happier in the toonworld but I think, that's a happy end not quite related to the plot.
[close]
Well, that's my opinion.
If have another one, fine.
BUT YOUR OPINION IS WRONG! HAHAHAHA!  ;)
#47
Well, for starters:
I had the feeling, all the loose end get tied up in a rather cheap way.
I mean, can you explain me why Flux turned back to normal, when Drew shot him with the evilator (or whatever this thing is called in english)?
Furthermore, I don't know, you didn't really accomplish anything.
Spoiler

You try to get back home all the game long.
Finally there, you fail having a creative idea the boss likes.
A little later, you learn that Fluffy and Count what's-his-name are still alive and you get sucked back into the cartoon world.

Yeah, and when the it-was-just-a-dream-ending was true, Monkey Island 3a would be boring as hell!

But back to the actual topic:
One ending disappointing me is the end of Toonstruck.
Has anybody else finished it?
I don't want to give away the ending now, but man, I didn't really like it.

Oh, and Rui: I have a proper version of this joke in my game, if it will ever get finished.
And Dragonrose: You are absolutely right! I had the same feeling with Torin's Passage!

I learned read especially early.
You know, even before I went to school.
If this has to do with adventure games and the fact, that adventures didn't have voice speech back then, I can't say.

Oh man, Ghost, your dream had me LOL.

However, not long ago, I dreamed Meg from Family Guy was my girlfriend.
And I think the cast of Drawn Together also appeared in some form.
Ah, animated sitcoms, destroyers of my mind.

I had more strange dreams, but nothing I would remember right now.
Maybe I'll post another one as soon I remember one.
#52
Foxtrot... Uniform... Charlie... Kilo...
Hmm, how did that get stuck in my head?
However, those are some very fine MS Paint graphics and animations!
Looks fun, I probably should give your earlier games a try.
#53
Hehe, well, however, I predict Family Guy episode in one of the future season wich is going to look like this:


Seriously, they're probably going to do this.

Has anybody seen this:

I hope, nobody else posted it already.

General Discussion / Ban for violent games?
Wed 22/11/2006 05:46:14
Here in germany some guy went mad and ran amok in his school. Again.
And exactly like last time they blame computer games and want to ban violent games.
What happened is a real horrible thing, but I think blaming computer games is going the easy way.
I mean, just because one of the guys had some bloody computer games, it doesn't mean it's the cause for their actions.
A high percentage of killers eat bread in the 24 hours before the act.
So, should we ban bread?
Those games are very popular, but not everybody who plays them walks around and shoots at people in real life.
Before the guy went amok he anounced his actions in the internet and stated, that he was unhappy with the money-controlled world and the fact that already in school everything is just about the money and such stuff.
So, how the heck do they come to the conclusion, that it had anything to do with computer games?

There is this one puzzle in Tony Tough 2 in wich you have to try to smash a window with a brick to get yourself arrested.
But there is absolutely no reason, to try to smash the window or to get yourself arrested.
This whole thing serves the mere purpose to make the plot progress and to have to break out again afterwards.

Oh, and what was the thing in Simon the Sorcerer 3D, when you have to bring this Gewe-San-guy back to life, despite he is of absolutely no help at all.
I mean, he eventually just vanishes from the plot without explanation.
This guy is the most useless adventure character I have ever seen.

But talking about StS3D, I know it's not quite on-topic, but there is a puzzle I especially like:
The passing-the-one-way-bridge-puzzle!
It took me a while to figure it out, but I thought this puzzle was quite clever and neat!

EDIT: Oh, I wanted to say something about Stupid Invaders!
It's not true, that you have walk over pixel-perfectly.
But it's true that you have to load a game after having died.
I, too, don't like puzzles you have to die for at least once.
The guys at Sierra made those puzzle on purpose!!!

Hey, the makers of Stranger than Fiction stole the idea!

I made an IQ test, once.
The result was somewhere in the 120's.

You sure, you read all of them?
Because some of them doesn't seem to load anymore.
However, I did try to do everything you said.
Don't know, what you don't like.

Yeah, I know, I just said, that it evidently is funny.
However, I like it the way it is, because the boy says something rather absurd like "We could approach each other on a field", and the girl even says yes, and boing, they're doing it. (No pun intended!)
You know, they consider it like it was normal thing to do.
So, IMO, when I cut the 5th frame, I'd just copy the cliché and you'd wonder: "How did that happen?!?"
