Or would you rather feel exploited after pwrticipating in an "advertising scheme"?

...And maybe it would turn out that the entire KQIX fan-based project was in fact an elaborate hoax concocted as a part of that scheme?

I'd have to say the radio stations in San Andreas were all pretty fantastic. Especially the hip hop stations for personally reminding me why I used to like the stuff  :o.

One thing about licensed music, though: no matter how good the music is, does everyone else get sick of it after awhile and turn it off? I rarely get annoyed with specially composed games music, but licensed songs get on my nerves quite quickly. I can happily play through a whole Zelda or Mario with the one tune looping throughout, but after the 7th repeat of a licensed tune I find myself going into the options menus to turn the music off.

There's just something about seeing someone rip to shreds the well-intentioned hard work of amateurs that makes me feel a bit queasy.
It's strange that Alacron seems to have only registered in order to come and dump all over the KQIX project. Does he have some sort of grudge?

Looks like somebody's already made the game!

Still, I'd like to see something a bit better that this...

...he can't sue us for making the game he told us to make.

I didn't say that, I'm not sure if he could sue or not.

If you write an outline for a game, say "please make this game," and then somebody does - can you really turn around and sue them for taking your idea? This is something that would need to be determined before the game can be made, I suppose.

One solution might be to give up on trying to make him fulfill his charity donation proposal by not actually selling the game. Just create it as a freeware, perhaps?

Something I just noticed: he never explicitly states that the player controls O.K.
O.K's murderous rampage can be depicted entirely in cutscenes, while the game itself could focus upon something else - for ex. how about some gamers who want to go to E3? They could have various run-ins with O.K. on their little quest to get passes.

So who's keen to have a crack at it? I'd be willing to contribute story/puzzle ideas, programming, music and sound fx.

I don't think a $10,000 tax deductable donation to charity is really going to ruin him unfortunately. If anybody wants to do this do it because it's funny and because making fun of tyrants is the best revenge, really. He isn't worth the energy expended on hating him, just laugh at him.

Are there any plans out there amonst amateur groups to make this game yet? I think it could potentially make a hilarious point and click style adventure game. There are a few ammedments I would make to his plot though.
When O.K. leaves the courtroom he would be picked up in a private limo and taken to the evil underground fortress of Dr. Thompson. Here Dr. Thompson would brainwash and train O.K. to become his personal soldier.
O.K. would be unleashed on the world to commit his mass murder spree, the whole time under the command and guidance of Dr Thompson.
I could just see the whole thing being done with ripped graphics from the GTA games with puzzle and dialog based adventure game gameplay. Chock full of sick humour and jokes. It would be the game exactly as outlined by Jack, but with a very different feel to what I'd imagine he was invisioning.

Create, manufacture and distribute? He didn't say how many copies did he? hehe

Figured this would probably be the place to ask if there's anyone out there that knows...
Anyone know of any stores in Australia accepting pre-orders for Psychonauts? Had a look on the web and couldn't find anything...

I want those playing cards too!

I wonder what the hot button issue will be when the gay issue passes. . .

What will be the no-no-no family type then?

My guess would be open relationships, group marriages, etc. Either that or the aliens...
Or what about human/animal relationships? Why can't two mutually consenting adults (of whatever species) enjoy a loving and beneficial relalationship with each other? It may seem strange to me, but who am I to judge?

And Modgeulator... I am not going to reply you... Thanks for calling me stupid without reason, that is a better reply than anything else I could say...

Freedom of speech includes not saying what you are allowed to say if you think that's going to hurt somebody...

That's a nice little trick "I am not going to reply to you" followed by a reply to the person. You get to have that whole Zen-master / Ghandi thing going on, tell someone they're below you AND say what you think all at the same time.

And no, that is not freedom of speech. You're confusing it with boring, old politeness. Don't forget, your initial post was quite aggressive. I think you even made comparisions with the Gestapo...

I found it by cheating however...

Could you all please, stop insulting people? What is this, a Gestapo forum? We fill our mouths with words like "freedom, freedom of speech, diversity of opinions" and politically correct words like that... and when you finally have the oportunity to put all that terms in practise you say things like "Christ bitch", "bigoted idiot" and, simply, "idiot".

Wonderlady and Harvester are showing us the opposite side of the coin, what's the problem? The gays members, who should be the most annoyed, are replying gently, because this is all of opinions... Peter and Bernie are understanding the act of DISCUSSION so muchbetter than you.

Why you, who are not that involved, are replying with such bitterness? It is that because you're in the "politically correct" side of the discussion? How brave of you!!!

Sincerelly, whereas I do not share the stalements Harv and Wonder are saying, I infinitelly preffer them to the replies of Kinoko, modgeulator and Matchew...Ã,  :PÃ,  :PÃ, 

Freedom of speech means both the right to say something stupid and the right for someone else to call you stupid for saying it. See, like how you just said all that, and like how I'm now calling you stupid.

The system works!  :

Having myself cryogenically frozen would be the smart answer.
In reality though I'd probably spend the day crying and freaking out.

I don't believe everyone is born heterosexual by default. The whole problem with your argument, Harvester, is that it is based on the assumption that heterosexuality is "normal" and anything else is abnormal and morally wrong. Comparing homosexual sex with murder just reveals how much of a bigoted idiot you must be.

Farl, it was a parodic reference to the very worn out cliché "I don't have anything against gays, as long as they don't hit on me."

This remark is surprisingly often uttered by ugly, sloppy, spaghetti-eating man-pigs.

I could only be flattered if gays hit on me, lol. I ask everyone, which is worse: being hit on by gays or being passed over as a "sloppy, spaghetti-eating man-pig" ... yet again?Ã,

Right now, just listened to:

How about a group of us just fly over to your place and read the text out loud for you while you play?
