Well done Dave and Ivy!!!  It's looking really nice!  Oh, and Dan Lee: woo!

Cyrus.  This is ridiculous.  Yes, you're right, you can't send a PM to this person.  And there's no email address so you have no other way of contacting him.  But there are so many reasons why you shouldn't post here:

1) This thread is OVER TWO YEARS OLD

2) If this guy couldn't be bothered to make an account to post this, do you really think he's going to be stopping by these forums to see if someone has replied to his thread from OVER TWO YEARS AGO?  He didn't even reply to the guy who posted one year later.

3) This thread was breaking the rules in the first place.

4) The guy only had the shell of an idea for a game.  That's it.  It's quite clear that every piece of information ever about this game is in this thread.  He never made any graphics, he never wrote any puzzles, he never did any planning beyond what he posted here.

5) The person states that he's looking for graphical help, therefore, he wouldn't be able to answer your question about graphics anyways.

STOP SEARCHING THE FORUMS FOR ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO MONKEY ISLAND AND DIGGING UP ANY OLD THREAD YOU FIND!  Please take notice that every time you do this, people get annoyed and the thread ends up locked.  That should be a hint. Please read and respond to my last PM which you ignored.

Could we get some more information about the types of ratings that this anonymous panel is going to be handing out?  Is it just organizing them into "worthwhile" and "not worthwhile" piles?  Are they assigning a score to each game?  What exactly is the panel doing?  How much subjectivity is involved?

I'm glad that some cleaning up is being done on the games database and that it's being done by experienced members of the community (for reasons that ProgZ stated), and I can see the reason for anonymity, I just hope that there's some sort of transparency with regards to the procedures that the panel follows.

I would also love to be a member of this panel at some point, though I don't envy the job that the panel will have digging through the existing backlog of games!

Something that I'm picky about: cursor hotspots.

With the exception of the pointer and possibly the talk bubble, I can't tell exactly where the hotspot is on these cursors.  I could guess that the hand icon's hotspot is at the tip of the middle finger and that the look cursor's hot spot is somewhere near the center of the magnifying part.  The foot is a total guess.

I like to know the exact pixel that I'm clicking on when I'm using a cursor.  It really annoys me if there's something I'm supposed to click on but I have to try three or four times just because I'm not sure exactly where I'm clicking.  This goes for inventory icon cursors too!

On the other hand, dealing out blunt, almost caustic criticism at work that someone has put their heart into isn't very likely to be taken well.

Heh.  This from the guy that told Yodaman that his music made the baby Jesus cry before the comment was deleted by moderators...

Just an observation! 

I really like this Cameron.  It's a fun sound!

I love that half of Chris Angel's magic tricks have the same secret:

Chris: Ok, now, we've never met before, right?

Blatently-planted audience member: *crosses fingers* Right.

Are you really going to keep bumping this thread (which, I'm sorry, no one else cares about) all by yourself to keep it on the front page until the time when (and if) you get a hold of the guy and he tells you (in Spanish) that the project has, as everyone else has told you, been canceled for multiple years?

Cyrus, I think it might be time to let go.

Yeah, you guys are so dumb.  You must have gotten it from your father's side.

Your mom's better than my mom.

You're posting in the wrong forum for this.  Check out all the forum rules to help you figure out where to place your posts.  Welcome to the forum, though!

As you yourself quoted, Yahtzee took the music from RPG Maker 2000.  All you need to do is a simple google search for "RPG Maker 2000" and the first result is a page where you can download the program along with all the music files.  That page even mentions Yahtzee using the music for non-RPG Maker projects.

"Man, what is this, the third super-villain in a row that has used this fug Mary Jane Watson chick as Spider-bait?"

"Yeah, I wonder if there's some reason for that...  Maybe we could check out MJ's friends and family to try and figure out who Spider-Man is.  Then we could sell the info to J.K. Simmons, the shining light of this film series, for some cash."

"Well, we could do that, but it would probably involve... y'know, looking at or talking to her.  And I don't know about you, but I've never seen a movie with a less appealing leading lady.  Both the character and the lady playing her are repulsive on multiple levels.  Hey!  Remember when we watched the first movie, and when Parker asks MJ how her audition went she tells him that they said she needed a few acting lessons, and then the whole audience started giggling and nodding in agreement?"

"Yeah, but..."

"And another thing, in this movie, how come the only villain who wasn't paper thin was the one that was also not cool or really threatening in any way?  I mean... flying snowboard?  C'mon!"

"Stop breaking the fourth wall!"

"You did it first with the J.K. Simmons praising."

"Yeah, but he rules."

"Yes he does.  Yes he does."

This has been out for a few days here and I had planned to take my nieces and nephew yesterday, but some things came up and I had to cancel on them.  Hopefully I'll be taking them tomorrow.  I'm pretty excited even though I wasn't a huge fan of the first two.

Actually, I agree with Yodaman, I can't find any of these things in my bible either.

Beautiful!  Congratulations.  Take good care of her.  You're in for a crazy ride...

It's definitely true that we've already got fifty or so threads exactly like the kind of thread this was becoming.  I still hope that Yoda can read the posts directed at him with something other than immediate dismissal.  I don't think he was posting just to be a troll. [EDIT] Though responding to him will likely have just as much effect as responding to a troll.  Still, if the only harm in trying is making a thread boring...[/EDIT]

I was raised and baptized Methodist.  I asked a lot of questions when I was a kid.  I was nine when I told my parents that I just didn't understand why god would be so mean to us.  My family changed to Unitarian and later to the Unity Church.  We had a gay pastor which was pretty cool.  He was about the nicest guy I've ever met.  I still never could make the idea of god work within my personal belief system, and so as soon as I had the ability to decide for myself whether or not to go to church or not, I told my parents that I wasn't going to go any more.  I was in highschool.  Maybe 16ish...

Since then, I've been atheist.  The only time I involve myself in religious discussions is when I start to hear ignorant comments about homosexuality, which is a topic that has always pushed my buttons.  I have a lot of gay friends, and none of them has done anything to deserve the kind of hate and pain that they've all experienced at some points in their lives.

Now, I've married into a culture that has polytheistic practices, and I willingly take part in them.  I regularly pray to ancestors, fire gods, home gods, and the gods of the north, south, east, and west.  It's quite interesting to see the people here going practicing a religion that is about respect, and doesn't involve converting anyone or damning anyone to eternal pain.  And every time a jehovah's witness knocks on my door here, it's jarring to be ripped out of the zen that I've worked myself into.

The first time this happened, I was shopping and this Japanese woman came up to me and asked me in Japanese if I spoke English.  I said that I did, so she switched to English and introduced herself as a Jehovah's witness and handed me an English brochure that she "happened" to be carrying around.  I stood there open mouthed, surprised that this was happening in Japan.  She noticed my incredulous look and said, ominously, "Yeah... We're everywhere."

You're right Helm.  What is the age nowadays when it's proper to stop ignoring someone and start un-stupiding them before they do someone else harm?

Yes.  I've got to agree with Andail.  I'd like to ask Eddie why his new show is so mediocre.

God didn't plan those people to be the way they are. Their sexuality is by choice. They choose to have surgery to change sexes.

I'm sorry, Yodaman, this is simply wrong.  And quite uninformed.  Gay people didn't just wake up one day in their teens and think, "Hey, I think today, I'll try sticking my penis in another guy's butt."  There is a legitimate nature vs. nurture argument that can be had concerning homosexuality, but there is no gay-is-a-choice vs. gay-is-who-you-are argument.  Gay people have feelings -- real, romantic, sexual feelings -- for people of their same sex and don't have any feelings of the kind for people of the opposite sex (of, if bi-sexual, they have feelings for both sexes).  There was no choice involved for them, and no matter how many heterosexual people tell you otherwise, it's not going to change that fact.

As for gay people choosing to have surgery to change sexes... That was one of the most ridiculous statements in the context that you wrote it.  Yes, some people choose to undergo sexual changes, but they were gay (those that even are gay), not by their own choice, long before deciding to undergo the surgery.  And the vast majority of gay people would never even consider such a procedure.  You... just... wow.  Do me a favor and don't say anything that ridiculous again.

So, if god hates gay people, and will send every one of them to hell, then god is a real ass hole.  He's condemning people that he created to eternal suffering for something that they had no choice over.

Not to mention the suffering that many gay people endure for their entire lives thanks to "good" Christians like yourself making them ashamed of themselves and even hate themselves for the feelings that they have no control over.  You push them to the sidelines of society, insult them without shame, and even go so far as to fight to put laws in place that take away their right to pursue happiness, one of their "god-given" rights.  Shame on you for causing such hate and for placing the blame for doing so on your god, rather than realizing that the real hate lies inside you.

Love the sinner, hate the sin is something you say a lot, Yoda.  But your words and actions are not words and actions that I could believe anyone would say towards someone that they love.  The fact is, you hate the sinner too, and just saying otherwise can't hide that fact.

The Bible says that the gay lifestyle is wrong. Even if you don't follow the Bible, it doesn't seem natural- I mean, two men sleeping together?

I would challenge you to find a single argument against homosexuality that doesn't loop back to "because the bible said so."

I don't think that having sex with a really ugly or fat woman seems natural, does that mean that god hates fatty-lovers too?
