Nice to see someone else who liked this series. Ridiculous effigy puzzle for the win!

I remember being quite infuriated by the Human Show puzzle in Day of the Tentacle. Every time I thought I'd finally beaten it I found another thing I had to do to the goddamn mummy.

I've forgotten to pick up that goddamn ladder so many times.

(I know it's been 5 entries already, but miguel's last chapter needs closure so I'll post an ending)

This theory might get me killed, but it was my only chance of making it.

"What do you call a Space Dwarf with a hacksaw in his hand?"

"I don't know, what do you call a Space Dwarf with a hacksaw in his hand?"

"Onlypeoplewithnointernalorganssaywhat!"

"What?"

And then he exploded.

I beat Monkey Island 1 and 2 without a walkthrough, and Day of the Tentacle. (I think).

I'm a bit of a walkthrough whore now though.

Happy new year! I'm a bit late, but the thought is there.

"OCH! YOU INDIAN BAMPOTS ARE TAKKIN OOER THE COUNTRY! WHIT'S WI OUTSOURCIN' THE COMP'NIES TAE INDIANS ANYWAY? WI FANCY BROADBAND OFFERS AT AFFORDABLE, ATTRACTIVE PRICES! YE AW MAK ME SICK!"

Then he hung up.

I didn't think about him again until he showed up at my doorstep holding a sword.

It took me a few seconds to realise that I couldn't see because I had a blindfold on - and a few more to realise that I wasn't at home. Apparently I had been kidnapped, but who would do such a thing? And why? I called a challenge to my captor.

Resolving to get to the bottom of this mystery, Ken analysed the mysterious letter to see if he recognised the handwriting. He wracked his brains, trying to recall someone in his life who used this much l33tspeak. After some minutes of internal sleuthing, he was left with only three names.

Three women who have died are waiting by the pearly gates to get in. St. Peter comes up to them and says "Welcome to heaven ladies, we have just one rule here. Under no circumstances may you step on the heavenly ducks."

The women think that this will be an easy rule to follow, if not a little odd. So the gates are opened, they gaze upon the kingdom of heaven, and to their dismay...

Ducks. Ducks everywhere. Almost every square inch of ground in heaven has a duck in it.

So they try their best not to step on any of these ducks, but one day the first one plants her foot square on top of a duck. St. Peter immediately appears with an extremely ugly man and chains her to him, saying "As punishment for stepping on a duck, you will spend the rest of your afterlife chained to this ugly man."

So the other two are REALLY careful not to step on the ducks, but soon enough fate repeats itself and the second lady accidentally squashes a duck. St. Peter chains her to an even uglier man and says "As punishment for stepping on a duck, you will spend the rest of your afterlife chained to this ugly man."

Well this really gets the third one spooked, and for many days and many nights she strains every fibre of her being to avoid the same fate, and for a long time manages to avoid stepping on even a single tail feather.

Then one day St. Peter approaches her with the ultimate man. An adonis. Handsome to look at, highly intelligent, very kind and considerate. As he chains them together she sighs "I don't know what I did to deserve this."

The man looks at her and says "I don't know about you, lady, but I stepped on a duck."

Sounds like M0ds is quite the Chick Chaser.

No no no. We need to have Scottens. Or Scittens. Skittens? One of those.

"Limerick about a limerick"

Look, this is a limerick, wow!
And of writing it I'll tell you how
It starts when the fandom
Give ideas at random
I sort them all out and then POW!

The ideas all flow through my head
To my razor-sharp wit they are wed
Then the best ones I planned
Are typed in here by hand
Then I post it and fall into bed.

So there is the process my friend
Writing limericks from start to end
Try it out and you'll see
What it's like to be me
Now it's finished I'm going to hit "Send".

(Yes I know it's "Post" on these forums, shush. )

I return from a wacky excursion
With a witch with a sunshine aversion
She comes from the moon
And she owns a blue spoon
Which she uses to make a diversion.

She has a big blue cup as well
And I think that's remarkably swell
It has nothing to do
With this tale I tell you
But I mentioned it just for the hell.

She gave me a ride on her broom
We took off with a CRACK and a BOOM!
Flew around the world twice
And ate lunch with some mice
Then I plummeted home to my doom.

I have been pushed onto page 2! This is TERRIBLE!

Quickly! Suggest random limerick topics and keep the magic alive!

This is the wrong forum to post this in, really, but to answer your question (if I understand what you're asking correctly) you just right click until the cursor becomes a hand and then click on whatever you want to pick up (using the Sierra GUI), click "pick up" in your verb menu and then click the object (for a LucasArts GUI) or if the game uses the simpler form of GUI where right clicking examines and left clicking interacts, simply left click it. It's kind of a broad question considering the exact mechanics of picking up items are dependent on the type of GUI the game in question uses.

I'll give it a shot but I'm only a passable spriter myself, I'd probably just end up making it look worse! XD

He looks kinda of chubby. If that's intentional, then you've achieved that. If not, you might want to try shortening the number of pixels on the outside edge of the inside of his arms (if that makes any sense) to make him look slightly slimmer.

Also, given the angle of the pose the feet look slightly awkward, he looks at the moment as if he's standing on tiptoe. And the pose itself is a little stiff. People rarely stand symmetrically, and when they do they look stiff and unmoving (soldiers would do this, a normal person wouldn't). Some variation in the pose can work wonders for a sprite, adding character and personality you might not even have realised was there.

yarooze: If you let me know the character and give me some lines to do, I'll certainly consider it.

Pasting XKCD comics makes me happy in the pants. Have my nerdbabies, SSH.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I really like this idea. How would it be a "competition" though? How would you judge which jigsaw piece was the best?
