You have to pay the company (guy???) that developed mp3 royalties, but only if you sell like a million units or whatever.
Wav is free methink, but it'll make your game unnesisary huge.

Are you still recording in your apartment, because it might be time to get a pop filter.

Hmm, seems there is a tie. Good thing I got a veto pen.

Go with the cheaper one and if you like it and use it a lot save your money for a wacom.
They don't even have the Trust ones?

One thing I never got my head around is how many terminators were sent back through time. Kyle Reese said that they blew the time machine up after him. Does this movie expain a bit about that?

Hi there.
You might not know this but on may 25th it will be exactly a year since I started to record and upload ags games to my youtube channel.

I really enjoy this hobby of mine because it lets me play a game several times very thoroughly so I can get to know it like a close friend. I haven't been very consistant, sometimes not recording anything in 3 months, sometimes recording several games on one day. But I'm proud to say that I've finished 59 games so far which is just above an avarage of one game a week!

Anyway, for my 61st recording (the 60th is already finished) I'll take requests.
So just shout out an AGS freeware game that I haven't recorded yet and I'll upload the most popular one next week. Voting ends 26th so don't delay.

This is a quote from an article about using copyrighted characters for t-shirts but it can be applied to games too.

Quote
I get lots of questions from people who want to get into the shirt business asking me about using licensed imagery, sayings, and characters in their designs. They ask me if it’s “ok” because they deviated from the original works by a certain percentage, or because it’s a parody, or some other excuse they claim will allow them to cash in on their design while not getting into trouble. The fact is: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and even quacks like a duck…it’s copyright infringement. That means that the little “personal flair” you add to the design idea isn’t enough to keep you off the radar of any major company protecting their intellectual property rights. Make any excuse you want, but you know what? You’ll have to prove it in court…and do you have enough money to do that? That’s what I thought…
Full article here.

In short: it's undeniably wrong but does the copyrights holder give a shit?

Archy will never get married, it's just a rouse to get some bigger sales just like the time DC anounced superman would die.

But, yeah, Veronica all the way.

You can move the cursor with the arrow keys in all lucas arts games, and if people can play a first person shooter like halo on a game pad it is certainly possible to play a slow paced adventure game on it too.

The thing that bugs me though is that this is just a lazy and uninspired way to cash in a few bucks. Why not remake the backgrounds (like sierra did with their early games back in the day) and add voice acting. I'm sure not all people here would dig that, but it would appeal to a much bigger audience.

I have ags_215_sr2.zip and ags_251a.
The ags 2.15 one might work. PM me your email if you want to try.
Or ask Leon, I think he had a backup of bicycle-for-slugs which had old ags versions too.

I watched the original first Twilight Zone episode back a while ago (it was on a french site and then got a cease and desist letter). The one that realy made me think was weird was episode 11 though not really sci-fi.
Also not sci-fi but weird are the Alfred Hitchcock Presents series. It's hillarious to watch him anounce the comercial break when he cleary hates comercials.

Reality-on-the-Norm / Your favourite RON games

Hi there.
As a hobby I record AGS games to create an archive for future generations (that can't be bothered to play games themselves).
I've recorded a few RON games, but I'm a total RON n00b and I don't know wich ones are the crème de la crème and which ones are... not.
If a few people can point out the best ones and explain why I'd really appreciate it.

I use Camtasia for recording and editing, though editing is very limited. I haven't switched yet because I like their video compressing (30mb for 10 minutes game video which looks just as good as the raw material).

If a better editor program has better compression, please let me know.
#75
Nice backgrounds. Compared to the first ben jordan game you've really grown as an artist, which makes the compete work a personal succes.

ah, #21 looked so familiar but i couldn't remember who that was. thank aga.

Is every entry a game? Could be a plug-in too.


There are also many RON games not listed in the ags db, though they used to have their own category. Were they removed?

I use clamwin after avg kept spamming me to update to their new resources eating version.
