[RING RING RING RING, BANANA PHONE!]

RING RING RING RING, BANANA PHONE!

[usb ports]

I don't listen to Phill Collins but I do own the Duke album (read: my dad does but I'm the only one that still play them).
There are a few stores that sell lp's here, including 2 big electric stuff outlets. They sell mainly the well known ones which doesn't really bother me. Eric Clapton, Portis Head and Iron Maiden all next to eachother.
There are also stores here that sell indie stuff (a friend of mine bought a Beirut album I think), second hand albums (bought a shitty Jethro Tull album there) and dj stuff though I wouldn't dare venture in there.
My record player is an old thing that might be older than me. It works fine and It can ampify so much that I can't even put the volume slider higher than half way. I've seen new ones with usb ports for copying lp's to the computer but I'll stick to this one.

Mini-skirts and blond, hmm.


As for myself, I like the original manga Vash coat.

Obama is a democrate and therefor lets the states themselves figure it out. So no gay marriage in texas and no death penalty in new york.

Because you upload it most likely to the same server. So if the server is down both files wont work, making the mirror link useless.

Can't you just change the directory it's installing to to your AGS games directory?

When I finish a game it goes into a different folder.

One could always supply an Installer and a zip. That way the author will feel proud of his installer, and the people who don't like them can download the zip. Everyone's happy 

And find oline space to store the same game twice, and update it twice if you fix bugs.

But ProgZmax there was still a bailout bill pressed through. Not even a congressman vote matters.

I got inno but i don't like it too because i put all the ags games i download in a sub folder so that they are not scattered all over my hard drive. If a game has a installer the first thing i do after running it is copy the ags files into a new folder and uninstall the original. With a zip file i just have to extract and delete the zip. Less effort.

O-oh, here comes the snob patrol.

TV spots are smearing Obama. McCain and Palin are fireing up the crowd. McCain supporters say/yell stupid things. Joe the plummer doesn't know shit. Neo nazis planned to kill Obama. A McCain supporter claimed she was stabbed in the cheek by a black man but it turns out she was lying.
It all back fires into McCain face. Many voters feel McCain = ignorance & racism. People don't want to be associated with that so they say that they'll vote Obama. But I do think that they'll pull through and still vote for Obama even with the curtain of the voting booth closed.

Skin color-wise, Obama is as FOX puts it best "just a half-rican". Shoul'n't that appeal to both black AND white america? Maybe that's too naive.

Or RespectMyAthoretha@123.rus

Since I only watch Comedy Central's Daily Show online and the Liberal media here in europe, it feels like Obama already won. I however dont want to count my chickens untill they are hatched. This is the same country that gave Bush a second term (because his first term was such a succes). The silent majority has not yet spoken.
I'm always interested in hearing who the yanks are going to vote for and why.

Matt, you can talk and post as much pictures as you like about your store.
At least you like your job at a game store, unlike this guy.

I second that.

Dont know if this works in Vista but in XP and below you can make a shortcut of the exe, edit the targer file by adding --winsetup, i.e.

Code: ags

"C:\bla\ags game.exe" --winsetup

This saves you browsing for the file.

The setup window is within the game file. Winsetup.exe is just a file that redirects to it.

Inc, you'll love River City Rumble.

But if it's all about integrety, lets reverse your question. Are there any good games that are true to the movie it's based on? (there has to be some since there are more games based on movies than movies based on games)

(and I didn't care that Ford Prefect was black either)

Me neighter. It did pissed me off that Samuel L. "Mother fuckin snakes!" Jackson played Nick Furry at the end of Iron Man. Better than David "Where's my burger" Haslehof, but still...

I just had this epiphany how many ags members are just unfriendly, self rightious snobs that get high sniffing their own buttholes. What happened?

...
I still don't understand why. Why does game movies suck so bad? Is that a rule or something?
...

The expectations of gamers are just too high.
I though Akira was a good movie, but then I read the manga and found out the movie is missing 2/3 of the story! They did some bold editing but it worked. If I was a fan and read the comic before the movie I'd be very dissapointed. And I will be when they make the american version starring Leo. I'm just too hard to please.

How interesting are in game stories anyway that they have to be adapted to the big screen? Isn't it the arogance of the gamers to think it is worthy of a movie?

Uwe Boll works hard and fast to get his crap movies rfinished. You have to respect that. I liked some parts of Postal, if only the jokes were funny and the actors gave a crap.


Best game to movie adaptation?
Street fighter 2 the animaton. Or is that cheating?
The wizard. Or is that cheating too?
Tron? The King of Kong. Oh I give up.

The flightless Wren story must be true because Stephen Fry said it was.

[shameless request] Could you do one about jelly fish? They are the most softest creature no-one wants to pet.
EDUCATE THE MASSES!

This might not be the right place to post this but I didn't want to make a new topic or revive the original thread...

Discarded Helm game idea #234265247:  I play the part of a man stranded on an island. How I got there is not very important. My first interest is securing food and potable water. I scavenge in the wilderness, trying to avoid dangers and get my basic resources going. Then I make basic tools with which I defend myslef if needed, fish, harvest, hunt and upgrade my living conditions (thatched hut by the beach, wee!) more efficiently or what have you. If it rains a lot and I have no shelter, I might get sick and die. Once my basic needs are taken care of, I start to travel the island and map its' geography, slowly finding remains of an older civilization, clues that lead me to search the various caves on the island. I fight off a bear in one cave, carefully navigate the slipperly terrain inside, find it too dark. I emerge to search for means of fire, find some broken lens, concentrate the sun's rays (only on a very sunny day) on a piece of wood, or alterately, I try the rubbing wood together thing to get fire. Anyway, once I have fire (also, cooked fish straight from the sea, but watch out for the shark!) I return to the caves and with the added illumination find a series of painted instructions on a wall. They're very symbolic, and I have to discern where the clues lead me on the island. Now with fire, I may maintain a beacon flame at an elevated spot on the island, that needs regular tending, and hope that one randomly passing ship will see me. On the adventuring front, once I find the location the hints hinted at, I find a hidden passage to the deeper cave system of the island, where only the braver survivor dares to dwell...

at the end of the game, I'm ranked for how I survived, what habits I had, if I was a vegetarian, a pacifist or none of these things, what I ate and how much I did, how sick I got and how many days I lived. How much of the island I charted, what kind of clues did I gather and how far into the subterrainian mystery sideplot of the island I get into. Finally, if I was rescued, and what my overal morale was.

This is a kind of adventure game I'd love to play. A very realized version of the 'deserted island' cliche. Now think how most people have utilized the deserted island scenario in actual adventure games. It's endless day, you walk wherever you want, no danger, you collect objects and combine them and solve PUZZLES until the designer deems it right to transport you from this locale to the next one. Boring, underutilized, marred by unambitious design. Everything I say above is not easy to make in AGS, but scripting-wise nothing is stopping you. I can't do it, but somebody else might. It's difficult to do, but it's a better game than the usual fare.

And then I saw Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked. Thought it was funny, that's all.
