Too confusing. I prefer http://www.guessthename.com

EDIT: No, I'm mistaken. Guessthename is bloated with over-specific questions. I was thinking of http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html

Ahh.
It all really comes down to what they're using it for, I suppose. Personally I don't see much use other than statistics gathering, but it does seem like conspiracy theory fodder.

I don't understand. They don't submit any information about YOU. It seems like anonymous statistics stuff.

Unless they have little cameras or microphones in them, I don't see what the problem is...

There ya go. It's really screwed up. I don't really know who Arnold Schoenberg is, but he'd probably soil himself if he heard this.

In the case of these competitions, I think it's better when the rules are creative in nature rather than technical. Like the body part anthem one from a few weeks ago. Get it? I'd rather not have to ever decide against a note or a chord that sounds good just because it doesn't comply to technical rules.

Not technical rules again. That sort of thing hurts creativity. And I don't know or care who this Sconeburg dude is.

Interesting plot, and great concept art. I hope there's an english translation.

How would people feel if LucasArts revealed they were making a MI film?

That would rock. It probably won't happen though.
There is a very cool looking Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming out this summer though. Based on the Disney ride which inspired MI. http://us.imdb.com/Details?0325980

Er, wouldn't this be of more concern to LucasFilm than LucasArts? Which might actually be safer, since LucasFilm are probably further away from their community than LucasArts.

Ok. The original two games weren't THAT funny though. They were amusing, but most of the games' strength was in the atmosphere, characters, and puzzles.

Having a keyboard or knowing notation isn't that important. I believe most Cakewalk products have a simple piano roll view which makes it easy to place notes at any note or length. Complete control. It's not that tedious if you copy-drag any parts that loop. I'd look into getting one of the simpler, cheaper Cakewalk products.

Dark: I mostly agree on you with CMI, but EMI was, I think, more original than CMI. CMI, I feel, reused old ideas from the previous games, such as the "part where you're stuck somewhere and there's a bunch of useful tools which you can't reach" and such, whereas EMI's humor and style were more quirky parody stuff. It twisted the pillars of the MI series more than people were expecting, which I guess wasn't what they wanted. Even Ron Gilbert says that game developers don't owe the public anything.

Go for it. I'm not making it, I don't really know enough history. Alkaline might be making one, but even if two people do prohibition games, I doubt the two games will be anything alike.

Someone should make a prohibition era game.

Don't be so morbid...

We can't wait that long.

Welcome back, Chris.

 
Clever.

Happy trails, Chris!
