Because of these FPS games, people are getting sick of them cause they're so boring that they have to go and live it for real, that with the combination of gun laws and the state of the current world.

 :  It's not Games that make people psychotic, and it's not the fault of gun laws or the state of the world. Some people grow up with problems and never learn how to properly cope with them, so they blame the world and assault people whose names they don't even know. One hundred years ago it was Jack the Ripper. If this guy wasn't shooting people off of an overpass, he'd be dropping jars of acid on their windshields (that happened here). Think before you blame.

People in my hometown were total retards, and they all had guns. It would be scary, except they'd been taught at an early age to respect guns and human life, and so was I. The only time you're in danger of being shot by one of those NRA people is if you try to break into their house or otherwise endanger their lives. Or if you look like a deer and prance around in a forest.

One of my friends once went to a mental hospital for depression and he met a man who fantasized about eating human eyeballs. He wasn't a fan of video games at all. He didn't even watch TV/movies. They did have a huge discussion about how great reading was though.

Panda, I would offer you a joke or a word of consolation, but with luck you'll be in the +99% of people who aren't killed anyway.

Good luck!

I may be a telemarketer soon. I always wanted to work at a video store though, I like movies but I hate paying to watch them.

I now have the same problem as shbaz...

DG, Humans have existed for that long, so we all have that many years of history and more behind us.

I know, the knob size is correct in proportion to the stereo, but the stereo isn't correct in proportion to the rest of the room. Those speakers look to be 8 inches, if I had to guess by the rest of the room. The biggest I've seen those volume knobs on the 80's style decks like that is 2" in diameter.

Here's another freeware one I found at dosgames.com:

OHR RPG Creation Engine

Looks to be complimentary to your style, although I'm not sure if you need to use their internal editor to draw your stuff. Links to a few other RPG engines as well, here.

EDIT:
I forgot to compliment you, great job! I'm making an RPG too, although mine will be 3d and not nearly as cool.  

I wish you luck, those animations look really cool and are exactly like what I remember in older RPGs. Heh, I remember my friend telling me how awesome the vortex in Chrono Trigger was, and here we are with all of this new graphic stuff and these games are still the coolest.

I think maybe if you airbrushed some shadows after each vertical section of the building it would give it more depth. As-is, even with the previous modifications, it looks very 2d and leaned backwards. Shadows might make it look more fitting with the perspective.

I'd give it a go but I'm not very good with this sort of thing myself, it just seems that it could help.

The stereo should be smaller, one knob is as big as the speakers. I like the dartboard, and I agree that a guitar/amp would be an awesome addition to the room. Same comments with the bed + dresser as well.

Wow, your style is very nice on the eyes! How long did those take?

I can't really even criticize, there isn't anything wrong with it in a cartoony style like that.

The advice of not doing anything in bed except stuff that a bed is meant for is something I'd expect from Reader's Digest's psychiatric corner.

They teach it in seminars and psychology classes at my college too.

I once attempted to be hypnotized.. it didn't end up working, but I got so relaxed that it was as if I had taken some kind of heavy muscle relaxant. My body just succumbed to gravity's pull.

Ever since then I do this to myself before sleep, slowly relaxing each muscle in my body until I can't even feel my limbs. You need to position yourself correctly to do it right, so that no stress is created on anything.

Once you learn to do it well, you can force yourself into a waking sleep, not like what others are describing though. If you get really deep into it you can control weird things like your heartbeat. It's twice as dense as regular sleep when you do it right, so sometimes I use it as a substitute after a heavy night of studying and I don't feel so tired in the morning when I need to get up for class. It's very refreshing and supposed to be good for your body.

Look up info on meditation or self-hypnosis and give it a try, if it doesn't work as well as it does for me, at least you're a little more enlightened on what your body can be capable of.

If you just want to make the mini-golf game, try blender. It has a built in physics engine, so you would only need to build the golfer and course in 3d, a bit of scripting in Python, and you'd have a decent 3d mini-golf game.

It seems difficult, I know, but there are many tutorials to teach you. Click on the elYsiun link and browse the forums, there are sticky topics with tuts.

Just a thought, it'd be way easier than doing it with AGS I think.

DG, I think we all know that Australia was mostly populated by criminals.

Watch your wallets around this one.

hehe time to dig up some old classic:

I hope Wanderlady doesn't look.

I love the Ramones because of their hit songs such as "The KKK took my baby away" and others.

They also made a hilarious movie.

Of course. One who does not know the history of his country  is a fool in my book.

Sometimes I don't understand you at all Vel.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you just said though, then again I watch a looot of the History channel.

Can't get the suitcase, if I'm supposed to use the pole I don't know what to type to do that

EDIT for the post below:
Prove with one "o" grammar nazi.  

Ironically, I never dream about AGS'rs. Mostly I dream of sleeping with fast women and car accidents. Plus there's lots of abnormal weird and abstract stuff, but not in technicolor like some people. I have what I call "text only" dreams. Only occasional images, it's weird.

I'm an uncle now! My sister-in-law had her baby today, on Valentines day.

She's a cute little girl too, not all lumpy and cone-headed like other newborns I've seen before.

Actually that resolution is about average, many people on this board use 800x600. It's been discussed before, I think even Chris does.

Civilized, adj
1) Having a high state of culture and development both social and technological

Seems like developing terraced and irrigated fields, an organized living structure, and selective breeding is technological development to me. They had religion, customs, which are culture. They didn't have road systems here in the present-day US, but down south in Mexico and South America the cultures were just as interesting as ancient Egypt, with pyramids, mathematics development, and road systems.

And yeah, an Indian is reading this. I live in Oklahoma (land of the red man). Pretty much everyone here has some bit of Indian blood in them. This was the last Indian territory. I guess my amount of blood is pretty negligable, but really there are very few pure Indians left. Even here in Tahlequah (the cherokee capitol).

Dude, no offense, but you really don't know what you're talking about with ancient American history. We don't study much other than American history here, and I probably know tons more about it than you.
