That guy would be hard to animate.

Well, the timing isn't great.
I think I have SARS, or Meningitis or something.
Either way I haven't been hit with a disease this bad since the last time the herpes flared up.
I'll tell you what though, if I'm feeling any better tomorrow I'll check in here and we can work something out.
For the record anyhoo,

- McKibbins Irish Pub, 1426 Bishop St (This is where you'll find me and my friends 90% of the time. Nice atmosphere, decent cover bands once in a while (U2 and the like)).
- Hurleys Irish Pub, 1225 Crescent St (A similar atmosphere to McKibbins, slightly older crowd).
- Cheers, 1260 Mackay St (Younger crowd, dance music. An ex girlfriend of mine works there. A good place to go if you want to party and get smashed. Curious lack of Sam Malone.)

Those places are all within like, three blocks of each other downtown, right off the infamous St. Catherines street.
Unfortunately, if you're looking for more of a dance club atmosphere, you're talking to the wrong guy, because I ran away screaming from that scene many years ago. A good bet would be to try any of the million clubs on Crescent street.

If you're looking for some, shall we say, more adult oriented entertainment, I can only suggest one place, but it's not downtown.
Solid Gold - 8840 St-Laurent (Drinks are expensive, so be prepared to spend $$$. Stop looking at me like that. I'm a pig, big deal.)
Any of the millions of strip bars you see downtown will be dirty and scary. You have been warned.

As for daytime activities, well, a popular choice is the Biodome.

You can see animals and stuff. Not incredibly Montreal-esque, but hey. It's also right next to the Olympic Stadium, which is always cool to see.

You may want to check out the Old Port, in Old Montreal. It's, well, an old port. In the summer there's lots of cool stuff there. Winter not so much. In fact, you should really come down in summer when the city has risen from the dead of winter. Much more fun. The Jazz Festival is always a blast.

That's all I can come up with off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more to do here. I've heard people say so.

Congrats man! All the best!
You even got Helm to come out of the woodwork!

That's the problem with the short-medium-long system. For example, when I first released Rode Kill: ADITL, there were like, four AGS games total. At the time, it was actually pretty long comparitively. Now, as time goes on, the games are getting longer and better, so you've got these older games which are kind of stuck in limbo. Do you find someone to go in there once in a while and re-organize things? I wouldn't want that job.
#205
It may be interesting to have release dates for the games. A lot of people ask me what the first AGS game was, when it was made etc...
Also, it'd be pretty cool to see the progression of quality over the years, if you could sort games by date. Of course, this would all depend on getting those older dates, but hey, don't kill the messenger.

I'm doing my best to be independently wealthy by July, so keep your fingers crossed!
If not, then I don't know if I could take the time off. Also, I'm poor.
Money is the devil.

On another off-topic point, this is awsome. Bones in vector animation? Sacre bleu!

It's exactly like what Felipe described, and close to what Mods described.
Unpleasant.
Unlike bouncy boobie signatures...

They will be missed.
Unless of course they end up in my inbox, mysteriously.

I had a lucid dream once many years ago.
I did the traditional thing and went for a fly.
Haven't been able to do it again, despite doing some research on it and trying various techniques.
I used to know a guy who said he could almost always control his dreams.
I think the problem with that would be that real life would become overly boring and annoying.

On a note perhaps not so related, but interesting nontheless, has anyone found themselves jolted awake from a semi-conscious state with a very, VERY real feeling that they were falling? No dream or anything, just a sudden shock of waking up and feeling like you were falling. Happens to me pretty often, usually when I'm lying around on the couch watching tv or something similar. Not a pleasant experience.

I don't know if it's the best solution out there, but it is free.

I don't get the whole 'unrealistic expectations' thing.
I grew up with playboy and porn and everything, but I've never actually expected real women to look like that, you know, since I've actually seen real women hanging around the planet once in a while.
Men like big boobs and nurse outfits. Women like guys with huge muscles cowboy hats.
I think we can all agree that most people can separate fantasy from reality.
If anyone out there is actually worried about these things, then the real problem is probably a self-esteem issue. Nobody's perfect. Do what you can, and accept yourself for the person you've made yourself into.

Yeah, I actually already have a copy of the original SQ1 with Droids R Us coupon, but that copy looks to be in better shape.
My coupon is mint however.
;D

Awsome.
Let me know if you need any nude reference pics of me. I always keep some lying around for occasions like this.

Further investigation reveals that both users have to sign up for the service and have access to broadband connections.
Not that helpful at the moment, but definately something to hold my breath for.

Yeah, it's the same kid.
I saw him on a clip from that worthless show and said "Wow, I was right! This show IS a piece of recycled vomit!".
I'm going to make a video of me sitting around wearing a dress and singing happy birthday in Yiddish.
You can buy my video for 19.95$. Autographed used panties for only 79.95$!!!

Jack Hamm, the Man.

This is the book my brother and I used to copy out of all the time when I was a kid. Eventually it was a torn up rag of overused paper, but I managed to find another copy years later when they reprinted it. It is awsome. It is dirt cheap as far as art books go. Get it.
