The Golden Cloud Palace Level III - The king needs your help with building the city structure

You ruined a perfectly fine pop showcase with your ridiculous rompler sounds and your broken drum FX computer, dude!

One very prominent example of this ghostly "r" is "A day in the life" by the Beatles. The song clearly goes: "I sawra film today, oh boy." I always thought this was a hallucination induced joke, now I know it was only good, clean accent.

That Mozart guy, whatever next! What a Zydeco all-time-classic, directly from the swamp! Grab it here for your next fête on the bayou:

Well, it definitely looks like "impossible stairs" is the way to go when crazy dreams are in demand.

Splendid!

Since off topic professional bicilotti has already lead the way, I will not hesitate to announce that I now provide download of all of the soundtracks I have produced for Ben's games, yet. There they are, for you to enjoy as ring tones on your favourite pocket knife and gas lighter, to use as wake up sound on your cell phone or to load onto your 500 GB Ghettoblaster and forget about.

Look, hear: http://erdbeertelefon.net/en/soundflies

Yes, it says soundflies. Google it, they exist. There have been reports of sound flies up to 80MB tall bushwacking unsuspecting file sharers.

I'm using custom properties- critical items have a boolean flag "is_puzzle_part" set to true, and after x interactions that yield no result (simple counter here) I lock the character to a thinking animation, passing the item's "hint text". Works pretty well.

This has to be one of the best ideas in puzzle design I have ever heard about. Did you apply this feat in Once Upon A Crime? I must have been a pretty neat puzzle solver then, because it never occured to me...

How can - I mean, how is! Yesterday at that time I said: "Release it, mate, I'll catch up with you later.", and now there is this pile of posts and a four cup rating and people like the game very much and I am being compared to Bob Dylan by strangers* on the internet. What a way to start a day!


*Sorry, Dr. White. I know you are the bass player of my band.

I like that style very much, it reminds me heavily of those Delphine action adventures like Another World or Flashback. Will your gameplay feature action sequences, or is it purely wandering and adventuring in a non-time critical manner?

Aha! It has now been officially declared demonstration software, this is good. Gather round, people, and enjoy it while it's hot!

I hope everybody is looking forward to my conversion of the epic classic "Operating your Electrolux Dishwasher".

[Rock 'n Roll]

Surprised that when MAGS hosted themes about drugs and sex, we had winners by default.

Then your MAGS topic better not be Rock 'n Roll!

Take a closer look at the Assassinbots - their animation is hiding their weak spots.

And now I will throw my hands up in joy - finally another released game!

If you look closely he definitely has quite substantial stumps underneth his t-shirt and was using them to lift his body up.  OK they're not full blown arms but they were enough to get the leverage he needed... and notice he spends half the 'getting up' sequence with his back to the crowd (and camera).

FAKE! PHOTOSHOPPED!

It is called "Videoshopping". By the way, it is also called "Homeshopping" when you pretend that your house is cooler than it really is.

[outsmarted him with my prime beta testing skills]

Congratulations with this release! Let's see what I can mess up... 

Almost one day over, and Leon has not yet triumphed...I wonder if I might have outsmarted him with my prime beta testing skills?

[Zombie Slayer V: Apocalypse]

Come on, you said you were releasing Zombie Slayer V: Apocalypse first!

Excellent! I was just asking that as opposed to the regular fanfares of triumph. Although I might consider doing some obscene midi music, too...

Can it be something funky, or is this prohibited on this year's awards?

My sincere suggestion to anybody out there not hypochondriac or depending on prestige: Used stuff. I have assembled almost all of the furniture (except the bed, come on!) in my and my girlfriend's flat from obscure sources like collection stations, bank liquidations (I got an incredibly heavy and pretty oakwood desk for 5â,¬ there), civil amenity sites (= welfare shopping centres, pretty euphemism the dictionary has in store there) , e.g.

To most of you that may sound like I am a bit of a bum, but if you'd see our flat, four rooms completely furnished for maybe 150â,¬ and at the same time very individual, comfortable and welcoming, you wouldn't think so for sure.

Of course, you have to be some kind of nerd to enjoy digging through heaps of scrap to find a perfectly good Italian Hammond organ or to buy an unbelieveably out of style IBM computer that looks like it can barely run Windows 95 but in fact is a power workstation - but that's my way to stay out of debt, and I enjoy it very much. You might say that I also suffer from impulse buying, only in that case it might be 50â,¬ for a battered old drumset I buy and plan to revamp but never do. And I always have to tell myself to stop buying stuff before I drown in it and my girlfriend gives me the "Don't even try to become a weird messy who unsuccessfully tries to repair old cardioid microphones all day and uses vacuum cleaner motors to power broken synthesizers." look again. So far I've managed to avoid broken down cars in the front yard.

Oh, and I also got myself a credit card about a year ago, it's really practical. If you keep track of your spendings, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a convenient method of payment, it even earns me some interest. Which is ridiculous, I know.

I've been playing almost all recent AGS games on my Ubuntu Linux notebook using the default distribution of WINE for Ubuntu Linux and had no problems of any sort - save games work, performance is decent. I am not too sure whether I have played a game that makes use of the D3D option, but I have played lots of older and some 3.1 and 3.11 builds and they were running flawlessly.

Then again, the Mac seems to pose different problems here...
