Bah enough red for today...

Yeah I guess here in australia Red Nose Day is a little different. I do recall it was about the SIDS thing. It must be a bit different overseas.

Aww I don't realise it was today. I guess being out of school doesn't help much. Oh well, have fun in the name of charity

I am very interested in reading the comics after hearing about the game, and comments from those who have read the comics. They sound really good, although I'm not sure where I'd be able to get a copy of them.

[YESSSS!!!]

Let me be the second to say YESSSS!!!
Thanks for letting us know whats going on with the game. We are eagerly anticipating it.

And another interview you can all read is here: http://www.quandaryland.com/jsp/dispArticle.jsp?index=697 It sounds really good what they are doing with the game.
A couple of early pictures have also been released:

Hmm... So far there doesn't seem to be much of a Mittens happening yet. Hopefully we can get some more victi... mittens recruits to come to this country. Saying that, I am being a bit hypocritical 

Well I'd like to make it seeming as though I'm from Australia, but it probably won't happen. I start back at uni mid july and I live kinda like mid south NSW, so its a fair hike to get to brisbane. Still not ruling out the possibility.

Man... this is so awesome! Wallace & Grommit are so cool.

All I can say is  There are no other words. I don't think we need another thread this year for april fools.

Also just in case people missed it, Telltale - the company formed by a few members of the Sam & Max 2 team and others were rumoured to have aquired the licence for it, but that seems to not be true either. Check this thread for more details: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=19417.0

Won't work... stupid geocities

Pretty good c-off, although it gets a little bit repetitive.

Mills: Its good and it does fit the theme, but it is very much background music as it is quite slow and boring... but maybe not in a bad way.

Well for me, if it was a good game, like I am pretty sure yours will be, I wouldn't mind downloading it even if I was on a modem still.

Alrighty then... I'm a few days late in this news but I figured that since it hasn't been mentioned here then you guys might be interested.
Well in case you didn't know, Telltale Games is the company that was formed after the demise of Sam & Max 2. They are mostly made up of ex-lucasarts employees who worked on games such as Grim Fandango and Sam & Max. They are still very commited to the point and click adventure game genre, which is a really cool thing.

So yes they were rumoured to be trying to aquire the Sam & Max licence and create their own S&M2, but it seems that didn't happen. They have announced that their first adventure game will be based on the comic books "Bone". I havn't heard of these comics, but it all seems pretty cool.

You can read an interview at http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,492/ about the company and the game. Also the telltale site is: http://www.telltalegames.com/

I'm very excited by this news. I hope that they can do good things with the game, and put some life into the genre. 

See post below for more info.

Hey nice pic. Thats good that you got it working. I'm happy to help.

Yeah Opera is also good, except I can't use it with that ad there. FF is free and does everything I want (with the extensions included). One of the best extensions in FF is AdBlock. I hardly ever see an ad on the net anymore, and that's good for me. And if there is a site which I don't mind with the ads, I just leave them turned on.

Ok for starters, DragonRose is helping alot, but I'll try and break it down further.

Alright. If you have a picture on your computer that you want to use then this is what you do:
* Go to this site: http://www.imageshack.us/
* When you are at the site, click on browse. A window will come up. Find the picture on your computer and click Open.
* The next screen will show a few long texxt box things. Select the text in the bottom one (Direct link to image), and right click and select copy.
* Ok, now go back to your profile in these forums.
* Go to "Forum Profile Information" and in the first box up the top, paste in the text that you copied earlier.
* Click change profile, and you are done

Well all that was if the picture was on your computer... I will now explain it if it was on a site. If the image you want is on a site somewhere then you need to save it to your computer first, and THEN follow the steps above.
* To save a picture right click on it and select "Save Picture As..." remember the name and where you saved it so you can find it later.

Some sites with pictures are http://www.mess.be/ (Find the link that says "Display pics", find the picture and click on it to make it larger, then save it.) or maybe http://www.freewebstuff.be/avatars/

I hope that wasn't too confusing for you

1.0.1 is out! It fixes security and stability issues. You can get it at the link in the first post.

I miss Rode too. I enjoyed his posts and his site and his games.

I'd also love Phil Reed to come back and continue to make games. But that is only a dream, he's too busy doing other things i think.

I just had a listen. They have a really cool sound. It sortof a Jazzy funk sort of style. Very cool. Pity they are too fr away from here to see them.

Ok I think your problem is the farmext entry. Don't quote me on that, but if you google it it seems others are trying to get rid of it too.

Hope that helps.

edit: argh..  fixed typos... I guess it was late last night.
