use the sucking device that Simon gave you on the vent opening where the gas is coming from...

Thanks, game finished... But it seems I've missed some points, I had 98/108 or something...

What do you do in the gas room?

After reading this,

Yes, it was an April Fool. I really didn't expect anyone to believe it.
Thanks to everyone who did play along, it's been an entertaining thread. The website and forums will revert back to normal at midnight.

I think that Mattgoble's report ..erm.. information was accurate.

but I'm pretty certain that Andail's housemates were big Wintermute users (Some may even say fanatics), and I strongly believe that they somehow 'got' to Chris, and forced him down this route. Ã, Whether they had some dirt on him, such as his 'relationship' with the SCRAMM team, I don't know.

If anyone wishes to discuss anymore 'affirmative' action, I suggest we organise a secret meeting place with codes phrases and handshakes.

Who's with me?

The world is changing, face it. Coalitions and multinational companies are the norm for game engines. Imagine all the (shareware) features we'll enjoy... It was good to merge the engines or Mahjong would dominate the world...

Can't you include  TreeMagik G2 so I can have it for free?

PS. I know your true plans are to make this  commercial, I just know it   !!!

Babelfish.

Babelfish is a useful tool, very helpful and time saving, but one has to check the translation very close or they end up with serious mistakes, especially for languages with very different grammar rules.

A better memory.
They say knowledge=information is more effective that most powers.

1. How long have you been involved in the AGS community?
March 2005

2. Why did you get involved in AGS?
I was playing various computer games, I discovered the website while looking for hints and then I tried the engine.

3. How do you feel that the fact that AGS is a freeware programme affect the community that has built up around it?
I think we are here for fun.

4. How big a part does the AGS community play in your life?
When I work on my computer, I have email notification on for most AGS boards. Apart from that, very few people outside the internet know about this hobby and I won't bring my game project with me during holidays. But I write long postsÃ, 

5. Have you been involved in making any games using AGS? You may list them if you want
Yes

6. Answer these questions if you have been involved in making AGS games:

a. Were you interested in game design/programming before you started using AGS?
No.

b. If no, do you feel that you would have got into game design without AGS?
Maybe.

c. Do you make games using other programmes, either freeware or not? How does the experience differ?
I tried some of them, always freeware. Many have some features disabled. Some others need too much coding. Or they lack support. But as I'm used to the AGS interface I find it difficult to adapt anyway.

d. Has AGS inspired you to try and take up game design professionally?
No. I don't have computer-related career targets. I couldn't do serious coding to save my life.

7. Do you feel that there is a gender divide in the AGS community?
In numbers.

8. Are you likely to feel differently about a game if you discover it's made by a female? In what way?
No

9. Do you feel that AGS makes it easier for females to get involved in computer game design? In what way?
I don't know if it's AGSÃ,  or the females' knowledge or persistence .

10. Do you feel that there is a difference between the types of games created by males and females?
Haven't thought about that... I think it's the playersÃ,  that define what games will be played and the creator just follows.

11. Any other comments?

Why can't both apply

the smoking thing, along with a host of other trivialities act as a smokescreen (no pun intended) for more important issues that may partain to bombs, dead children, politics and money?

It depends on the person, really.

Called phobia and hysteric fear. I suggest free bullet per person like this.

For people who don't like seeing smokers around patients' wards, asthmatic children or elderly with respiratory problems? Or for people who have health problems aggravated by smoke/airconditionning and any form of unclean air and they just ask for smokers to smoke wherever it is permitted within the building (canteen) or in bars/pubs etc where a ventilated place for non smokers Ã, probably exists Ã, or where non smokers can CHOOSE not to go at all? Ã, (While they can't stop working?)

while at the same time is ok with the second-hand smoke that craters from children-killing bombs emit

It may not be OK, either. Why can't both apply? I don't think non-smokers'unique thought is to ban smoking and that none of them has other priorities as well...

I just can't understand where the line is drawn, where the 'little thing' can be argued to death with voices so loud, and where the 'big thing' is pushed aside.

When someone can't Ã, respect the people they live/work with and they don't care about the well-being of their own loved ones (smoking is one example, not the major one) I don't understand how they can care for people who live thousands of miles away and laws that apply in countries they only see in travel agencies' bright posters.

Do you think the law will be respected?
I have problems with second hand smoke, not only it stings but makes me cough. As for my allergy...oh well!
I go to pubs and cafes etc, but that's for a short period in the day and I try and sit near windows or doors. But at work, although it is a hospital and smoking as banned anyway, everybody does it all over the place. They just shut the door or switch of the lights! There's smell of smoke everywhere  but no one gets punished...

But distracting you was soooÃ,  fun!Ã,  Ã, 

erm... who ar you talk to here?

We took your request and changed it's course...

Maybe distracting was not the right word....

But distracting you was sooo  fun!   

Hello everyone.
I've got a little problem with my english - I want one character to 'sleep' for, say, 200 years and I would like to adjust his speech to this fact. Would anyone tell me something about archaisms in english, please?

I can't tell you a thing about "archaisms", but I can suggest reading a book, poem etc from the period you need (in its original edition) and form the character's speech accordingly.

There's just post-modern literary critique which is absurdly useful in deconstructing intention and meaning, just from discussing the form.

That attidute ruined my fun of watching what I thought was cheap, non artistic, equal to pocket editions beach reading entertainment.
Did you know that Leone's spaggheti films are influenced by Goya and that his heroes are not of the serious, silent type that likes action to empty words, but a mere necessity of the fewest scenario lines possible because  of the language barrier?
That analysis has killed me...

Besides, do you think that the public would tolerate a black criminal making more money than them?

Not in the 40s or 50s. But again this reminds me of Agatha Christie's novels. No rich, educated, middle/upper class murderess would use anything but elegant methods with the less bloodshed possible, like poison, tiny knives or small firearms, only the servants cut throats etc.

Again, in film noir, I think only the secondary characters belong to minorities. The main villains don't. Or I haven't seen any. How can I think of oppression of the minorities when I watch the typical American man/woman being the main criminal character and all those typical american men/women hiding dark secrets and helping them to prevent things like a social scandal? Is Gutman black? Is Bridgid mexican? Is Carmen Sternwood homo? Is Eddie Mars german?

EDIT

To throw the audience off. To keep the audience guessing and awake.

I laughed when someone in here called you "mulder" , but on second thoughts...   

Everything in film noir that isn't white, middle class, hetrosexual, male is bad.

But not everything that is one or all of them, is good. The villains are white, heterosexual, middle or upper class and usually male. So how this distinction shows a discrimination?

Congratulations and best wishes for happiness! She's cute and stylish...
