It really stinks when the creator of a character gets shoved aside by the company that 'owns' the property.
At least guys like Steve Purcell protect themselves from this corporate madness.

It's Rode Kill related.

Most obnoxious ads ever.

There's a difference?

Badum bum! Yeah!

Well, I've never been the great debater around here, so I'm gonna make it a short one. Sorry Las.

I agree with a lot of what Helm said.

What do I think about Yufster, Jimi (Don't mean to single anyone out in particular, just the first names that came to me) and the other younger members? Well, I'm 24 years old. I can't really relate to them. The internet was a very different place when I was in my mid teens. I don't know what it's like to bring teenage angst to the digital masses for advice. All I had was black t-shirts and loud music. When I read posts about 12 year olds being madly in love I don't know what to say. Do what I did. Hide in your room and be depressed.

See?

The point is, I don't feel like there's much of a place for me here anymore. I try to post fun links and things, but they always seem to fall off the page within a half hour. I don't have a lot to add to most of the existing posts.

Unfortunately for us, things DO change, and we don't own this community. It's growing, and changing, and there's nothing we can do about it.

I'm lucky that I've made a lot of great friends here. People that I can talk to about stuff that no one in my real world understands. I've been inspired by so many people. The talent around here is scary sometimes.

That's the stuff that'll hopefully never leave the community. People can yammer on about their favorite movies or how their girlfriends goldfish died or how much Metallica sucks or whatever. As long as guys like DG stick around with their Photoshop contests, and guys like Neole keep cranking out the inspiration, I'll keep coming back.

In the meantime, I'd like to invite all you "odies" to add me to your MSN lists.

Hmm. That wasn't too short. Kind of medium...

This guy never looks evil.

It's some guy that sounds frighteningly like James Hetfield doing some hybrid Beatles/Metallica songs. That's the best I can describe it.

Beatallica

Beyond description.

The problem is that serious, thought provoking stories are hard to write, and usually come off as cliche and/or cheesy.

I know. I've been trying to write one for a few years now.

I propose #AGSParty, where a flagrant disregard for others is encouraged, and coloured text is mandatory! Whoohee!

I'd like to bring up the point the Cap'n made about hanging out with people and picking up their manerisms.
I am basically the antithesis of the italian stereotype, but I do have friends who are practically straight out of the mob movies, and when I hang out with them I always find myself acting like them afterwards.
Thank god it wears off.

So yeah. I agree with that.

Captain Muchly's letter was about the wonders of drinking bleach, and caused a stir of controversy.

But the big question remains... is there insult sword-fighting?
I'll probably see it next week.

Well, I took the card out, meaning to take it back to the store (the tech guy from the card manufacturer told me it was probably defective), but the store was closed. A few hours later I put it back in, left the cover off, and lo and behold, it's running perfectly. I'm assuming it was the heat. Man, that's insane.
Thanks everyone.

It's an Asus P3V4X. I've already upgraded the bios.

I got one of these fancy pantsy Radeon 9500 pro blah blah mega super duper whoopdi poop cards.
Anyways, it's fast. I'm pretty sure.
Let me cut to the chase.
I run a game, and I get amazing fps, for about four seconds. After four seconds, the fps drop to about 1-4 for a second or two, and then they shoot back up again, rinse, repeat. Basically I'm getting these little burps of stuttering while I play, which is annoying beyond belief.
This happens on new games, and old games. All games. I love 3d.
I've updated my drivers, cleaned my registry, etc.
Please help me because I hate everything in the world.
Thank you.

You have to use the diagonal keys (7-9-1-3) to slink past the plants.

Oooh flashback to the early days of AGS, man.  
Anyone remember Hippy Quest?
Don't worry, it wasn't good.

It's really hard to win them off Ebay, because there are idiots out there who buy stuff just to sell it again, thus ruining everything for collectors.
The only reason I have SQ1 and 2 boxed is because I got them 15 years ago.

No one seems to notice when I wear my Larry Vales shirt.

Ok, well, they notice, but not in a sexy way.
