  Nice

In an office, I saw a guy open a cupboard that was up quite high. As he opened it, the corner of the opening cupboard door banged his head quite hard, which prompted "holy sh|t, where did that come from?"

Just the way it happened had me quietly dying of laughter on the inside.

Memories of Johnny Castaway:

Sure was an exercise in what the executive arm of power is actually capable of.

This is catchy enough to be a real Christmas song!

Cool poem, Barbwire. So are we making this the AGS Christmas 2020 thread?

[Raising Arizona]

Yes, I could watch that movie again and again. I have to say that Raising Arizona is probably my favourite Coen movie, though, and definately one that I would consider a perfect movie. It works on so many levels, and the cast is so spot-on perfect, that I could wax lyrical about it for days.

I'll have to try watching this again. I gave it a go ages ago (so long ago I can't really even picture what happened aside from what Nicholas Cage looks like), and I remember finding it beyond boring. But it always seems to make the top of someone's list, so I must have missed something.

Cool idea for a thread, Mandle. I guess the films that first come to my mind are the ones I can tap into at any moment and feel completely plugged in and captivated:

Indie Game - instant motivation to build something when I see it. It's a documentary, yes, but the way it is shot and the way the stories are threaded together, plus the music, just makes it always pop for me.

Peter and the Farm - another doc, but something about this guy's glory days and now eroded empire just interests me. I can watch it on repeat.

The Royal Tenenbaums - there's something so tiny and contained about the ecosystem in this movie. When I was a kid, there was this battery-powered Disney toy video projector with a crank on the side that you turned to make a short Disney movie-clip happen. You'd cut one side off a large carboard box to give you enough shade to clearly see what was going on, and like 10 neighbourhood kids would try to cram their heads into the same box. Didn't matter what point in the film you joined in at - you'd plug right in. Just felt like a small but important world all to our own, and I get echoes of that from this movie. (Sorry, hope that's not nonsensical rambling there.)

Off the top of my head. More to come, no doubt...

 

I enjoyed the drama (a rare Japanese drama that I liked - I generally find them unwatchable).

Oh man some of the Mainland ones are unbelievably bad. It pleases me to know the overacted cringe-fest of terrible East Asian dramas can be found outside China, Korea, SE Asia.

$17K+ now. Probably on account of the mess over US transfer of power? Perhaps we will see a huge dive in the not too distant future as things settle down.

Was already unemployed before Corona hit, and I don't have too high hopes now.

I've tried selling some stuff I've made on Etsy too, https://www.etsy.com/shop/GalateaDolls, but with only limited sucess.
I'm really hoping someone would buy a doll as a Christmas gift or similar, but I could use some help finding people interested
in handcrafted toys and collectibles.

Why don't you spread awareness of your products by creating a few YouTube videos of how to make them?

1st: Hobo's ghosts
2nd: Klatuu's spider
3rd: Cassieberg's pumpkin

Haha I guess. Sorry, I didn’t mean to hold the thread hostage.

Here's the solution:

Not the smartest of people, the fisherman gestures while on the phone, "I caught a fish THIS big!"

You guys pluck your nose hairs? Doesn't that hurt?

Ugh so hard to choose when every entry has a unique strength:

Lord of Light

Spoiler

Definitely the most original entry. I personally found the game devolves into a bit of just clicking around, but I guess that is sort of what someone would be doing if they couldn't see.

Taste the Blood of Darkness

Spoiler

The most complete of the entries. Some of the puzzles are a bit obvious, and this game confirms my complete detest for action game sequences in AGS, but this is clearly the most thorough and varied entry of the month.

Lygophilous

Spoiler

This story drew me in the most. I won't vote this entry though, as the project feels unfinished compared to the other games.

The Last Light Post

Spoiler

The game I enjoyed the most. The puzzles are a bit repetitive, but piecing the story between the four rooms was very cool. For me, this game and Taste the Blood are tied for best game this month. I prefer The Last Light Post, so it wins my vote.

Cesar Gray about to drop a spam nuke any minute...

Hey, please do flag these posts and users when you see spam or suspect spammers. I've just been going through deleting a bunch of his posts that have been edited to add spam.

Sorry, will do next time.

I suppose this is going to sound very odd but I couldn't stand Spirited Away I'm not saying that it's a bad movie, because it's obvious that it isn't, but it was imposible to me to enjoy it 

Why was it impossible for you to enjoy it?

This is great
