Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I'd be going for the blues, but as long as it's a good match I'll be happy.

In addition to this, something similar could be done with the entire track recorded by AGSers. If, for example, chicky were to record a drumming track & upload it, someone records bass over that, etc etc. It might be nice to see if something good could come out of a project like that.

I just saw something today that reminded me of this and it sounded AWESOME. It comes from Justin Frankel who worked on Winamp and created the Gnutella network. The idea is very cool. To be able to play music with others over the interent in almost real time.

Read the description over at http://www.ninjam.com/

It hasn't been released yet, but the first version is supposed to be released on the 23rd of June.

Hmm I'm hoping for a good night. I finish my uni exams tomorrow, so its going to be sweet. I really can't wait until my exams are over so i can stop stressing and get some sleep and play games etc... So thats why I hope its a good match.

Hey I really enjoyed that first chapter. Reminded me of those days back when I was a young chap. I shall be looking foreward to the rest of the chapters to read what you have to say. Good stuff

For me I don't see MSN using much bandwidth, and it isn't continuous. Just small spikes. I sugest going through the msn options and turning off those side tabs and disabling the ads by using the MSN patch at mess.be. It might help, especially if you use msn 7 which has many ads as it would have to get less from the msn servers.

GAH! You hurt my brain with your witty response!

Hehe thats a pretty funny flash thingy. Is there actually a secret 'white button'?

Ahem... http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=19417.msg238571#msg238571

But anyways, this thread is still good. I'm still really looking forward to seeing more of this game. It seems there have been more pictures released that I havn't seen yet. I must check out the PC Zone thingy

Great idea! I might have a go. I'm not the best solo person, especially at funky stuff like that, but if I find time, I shall give it a go.

Yeah this isn't soccer/football. This is Rugby League/Footie etc. Probably a much better game.

Gah! I watched most of it on tv... It was so one sided at the start and then NSW made a come back. Can't believe that QLD actually made it back to win it. Bah!

Yep Reloaded is very cool. If you feel a bit awkward with the whole abandonware thing, then this is a good place to go. I'm sure if you have a quality game, it would appear on the site. There are already quite a few AGS games there.

One thing I noticed... where are the games. They don't seem to be on his site anywhere.

You can pick and choose which of these and how many links to each story for each one. Very nice work, and much better than all the MSN/Yahoo etc as it's still nice and clean with no ads etc.

Just go to: http://www.google.com/ig

You wanted colour?

Ooh, sounds interesting. Although I havn't played hte CSI games (I prefer 3rd person adv. games) it seems Telltale are stepping up. I can't wait to see more of bone.

Man... I gotta bump this topic. I just love their music... I have my songs on the computer on shuffle, and it's really cool when those Jasco songs come on. They have a great energy to them, and the singer has an awesome british accent. I'm thinking of buying that EP on there now.

Yeah they will be downloadable... I'm sure Nintendo won't charge much for them if they do charge anyhting... One of the reasons they have been hesitant in going into the online market is that they don't think that users should have to pay for hte service. And yeah the Revolution will be free online, as will the Xbox 360 (although the free version is quite limited), I'm sure the PS3 is online, but I havn't heard anything else about it.

Basically microsoft is trying to market the 360 to the cool and 'hip' people who watch MTV. Nintendo on the other hand is taking a better more mature approach, imo. They seem to be more on delivering the system and great games rather than hyping it up with fancy numbers.

Heres some pics of the 3 consoles:
Revolution:
edit: Now where did my picture go... IGN... yoohoo...

I think this is the best looking console.

Playstation 3:

Worst. Controller. Ever! Although the console itself looks alright.

Xbox 360:
Well you can see the pic in the first post...

Wow very nice work there... I'm interested in seeing what can become of this newfound funtionality.
