Ok I get it, I guess it has the same effect, yeah.

"You could do the zelda thing and just play a jingle."
, lost in translation there. Sorry crazy.

I personally like games with a visible score or with the option to check what is the score I have achieved.
It makes things clear to me as a player. I'll explain:
   - if I get points out of conversations then I'll know that what NPC's say is actually important to solve a given puzzle;
   - if I get points out of examining a candle that sits between fiver other on a shelf at the back of a room then I'll know I'll have to carefully search for clues;
   - if I get points out of combining objects then I'll know I should try so and not just find places where I can use them;

In a way it helps me finding out what type of adventure game I'm playing.

I hope the damage stops there, Natcho. Benidorm is a bit like where I live (Praia da Rocha) and I guess one good thing is that we're in winter time meaning there aren't many tourist around.
 

No problem Ben,  , I haven't updated it on  "Games in Production" with screenshots or anything else so it's quite normal that people forget about Blue Moon.
Hopefully I'll get it done before the summer arrives.

I'm making a Cop sort of game, it's called Blue Moon and I'm going for the full lenght (6 locations, 3 completed).
It's not your classic law enforcement game but the main character is a detective that lost his rank and has to wear the blue suit again.
I released a demo of it with low detail and a few glitches but still playable if you want to check.

Moodyblues, I wanted to say exactly what you read.
And before you get offended please don't, I am not racist but am looking at the man like he is. It's just that, don't start a discussion.

Not trying to be too serious here, but I must say that there is a genuine hope about this man, and the fact that he's black helps. It makes him more human. I hope all goes the best way for him and the US.
To all Americans, a big hug from Portugal.

That' s what Israel is doing: A lesson. It' s telling the world: "I don't mind what the UN says, what Amnisty International, the Human Rights or the international community say about the civilian casualties or what our own populations says about our dead soldiers... We will do what we consider necessary to stop those Al-Kassams or those Al-Khuds falling in our land".

What you're saying Natcho is that there's one more country besides US that can and will ignore UN recommendations: Israel.

The world is trying to focus on peace at the moment, there is a new hope, and the country and the man that agreed to lead it took that brave mission today in his hands. I'm sure that what he has to say about Israel acts of abusive violence will give or not credit to his legislature.

People in the Middle East are very proud of their families and land, and will most certain avenge the death of their relatives, that is a cultural fact that we must understand. Bombing Gazza will probably add more supporters to the Hamas cause, an institution that is (regardless of what we think their intentions are) official and legitimized by the UN.   

Snarky, the US don't have an 'official' military base over there, I thought you'd understood, although Israel are their closest economical and military allies on the region. As for the Israeli sympathy over the English I think that it's very clear that Israel are still seen on a WWII bases and the common European feels sympathy for them. The English, I'm sorry to say, and with the help of films like Braveheart or Michael Collins are pretty much seen like an invading country.
Now, this does not mean it is the reality of things, does it?

Dear Nacho, do you really think any of the people you see on television earn/get those two hundred and something Euro you spoke off? C'mon, most of them eat bread and water and they feel lucky!

It's not about land or money any more, people are being killed, not soldiers or terrorists (what a vague notion this is)!
What I know is that there is a risk of ethnic extermination. How many kids whose parents were killed by Israeli will seek revenge? Many, I believe.
This war will end in a tragic way or remain like this, an eternal war were the strongest side slowly gets what they want. Death by death.   

Congratulations to everyone that got nominated!
As for the discussion about games and their makers being always nominated is just how things go and it's only natural.
Indiana Jones will always be seen by millions of people in the world even if H.Ford is 80 years-old!
And remember that a good game will always come up from the slumbers if it's really good.
I was happy to see my little demo to be picked, and because it wasn't, I intend to make the full version the best I can. It's the only way to go guys.
I also don't think it's very polite to talk about games that one did not like, specially on this thread.
We must accept the peoples choice.

RickJ, I really don't think you mean what you said about Palestine having bilions of dollars to spend on their development. That is a wrong notion. No money at all arrives at any door in Palestine.
Please turn on your TV and look at how they live and the means they have to fight back, because if they don't they will be exterminated until the last man carrying an Hamas flag is killed.

Who cares what Hamas means or is? Was the IRA ever better or worse than ETA? Only the people that died for a cause care.

Why are the British treated like monsters when they fought the Irish and Israel treated like terrorism-fighters when they fight Palestine?

Is not Israel the main American military base in the Middle East? Aren't they the ones that are given billions of dollars in weapons from the US?

I respect your wisdom RickJ but you should start treating us like informed people and stop the established clichés that are normally told when debating this war that has gone forever.   

Palestine people live in misery with bad social and health conditions. Only a few can reach knowledge as we understand as normal. The place is filthy and unhealthy. A few meters away you can find a totally different country, a rich and modern country.
How does the world look at this war? Well, except for some good natured people and the Church, nobody really cares. Why? Because it's too far away and those guys look so unfashionable that they're better off dead with bombs and heavy artillery over their houses.

Seriously guys, how can Israel continue to massacre innocent people when they have the means to stop it?
This so called terrorists are clearly being supported by some nation(s) and it's critical that we find out who.

Hi guys, if Shenmue counts as an adventure game then yes, I've beaten a game without any help.
I have also beaten Still Life but found out too easy, and some AGS games as well.
Monkeys III and IV were beaten without any help as well.

We arrived at the Zoo early morning and I must say it all went wrong from start. Bill and Gena weren't talking to eachother and I suspected that it was Bill's well-known poor sexual performances that was causing the argument.
Anyway, we got closer to the monkey cage, and...

the hips are wider on females thus creating fantastic bottoms.

"Do you speak Space Dwarvish", he asked with a smile. I answered negative, but realized I understood what he said. So, that meant this was some kind of a Space Dwarf Comedian Race. Only, he had a hacksaw in his hand!
I still tried my theory and begun a joke:

Happy New Year guys!

Yet, one thing I didn't know was to create light from nothing!
So, I felt my way out of the bed that strangely seemed like my own. First, I crawled some small distances trying to keep a straight direction. Then, much to my dismay, I realized that there was no end!

Ken felt his left hand sticky, the fingers kind of glued to each other. Something red was covering it, like ketchup he thought. And then, to his surprise, he looked at the other hand. He was holding a knife. He slowly looked up. The sit in front of him was empty.
