Ahhh yes, the good old racist prejudice: it's okay to eat a whole sheep in one bite but the goat is a different story, it's like the goat has feelings, isn't it? No?
And it's funny how people assume that the giant monster detective is a he, I bet some gender issues will arise even before the game is out!

The title of the game is epic, the main character size is humongous and the premise of this game is extraordinary in a very particular way. I am sold.

Snowbanger?

Driving Miss Daisy?

I've been on the vapour wagon since March and yes, it works for me and also I've drastically reduced my nicotine habit.
Check this thread about e cigs !

I'm officially on holidays! So I will enter this one just to beat Mandle.

The girl who hated poo

You're a star Mandle!

PLEASE don't let Miguel turn this into another orchiectomy thread...

Will not, you guys deserve all the respect in the world, keep it up!

I want to thank my family for not supporting my game-making passion, I also want to thank God for not getting a single vote! Witch I don't think is unfair because he did give me a huge penis so I guess the Universe is balanced and makes sense.

Captain and Ponch, cheat away guys, you're the only people who ever played the game.
Anyway, here's a hint or two:
it stars a misogynist idiot who is incredible good looking and has had several adventures made;
icey was indeed a big contributor for the "franchise";

It's not a freekin' Icey game! And no, well yes, it's a demo but it's also like a complete introduction for a game.

Right, miguel finds it: too easy!
Anyway,

Solar Winds - The Escape?

Firstly, for Andrea's sanity as this isn't the first time it's happened... AprilSkies is a guy!   

We all know that, we're only messing with Andrea (a name that in Portuguese IS feminine) 
Jokes aside, this looks really good guys, great job! That top view is unique in AGS and beautifully made.

Ahhhh, the hat fit on somebody's head. And what a noble head it is. If this wasn't the internet I'd be really emotional now.
There's only one reason Gilbert asks for 350,000 instead of 15: because he can.

It's funny how guys here that are in the business of making games for a profit can "bitch" on someone like Ron Gilbert trying to make good money. The man is legendary and a reference but still has to play some kind of mother Theresa role while the world spins on dollars and profit.

Happy birthday Snarky and all that I've missed!

It's just typical of adventure gamers, they have Ron Gilbert making a new-original game with the retro look and the pixels and all but they still complain. The money they ask is the money it takes for them to make a game, plain simple. It's like complaining about P.Jackson's Tolkien adaptations when we get to watch a brand new movie every xmas for 5 euros.
It's never better to sulk in nostalgia for what it was, and there's always the risk that people (even veterans) fail do deliver the same quality/feeling expected but art is a risk in the end.

To me, that screenshot (mood, colours, inventory items, the detective poses, the cigarette) immediately tells me that they have it all together to deliver a great game. Okay, so the rest of the game will be crap, I just don't know. Some parts of MI sucked for me, and I never was really into MM, it's the overall input gamers get from a game that counts, not a interface or the size of a pixel.

Thanks Anas,
I can't run Verve man, my PC's too old. I guess it's time to get a proper machine.
