No, I think you mean police tape - the yellow & black tape that is usually placed around a crime scene? Just call it police tape.

EDIT: Heh, okay, you posted while I was posting. Okay, yeah. Just call it police tape.

Someone has a lot of time on their hands....

...oh, wait, it's Haddas....

NOTE, the may have been used in place of the  as it is down to personal preference. Thus concluding part one of my 17 part course on smilies and the usage of them. Make sure an adult is nearby before you practise using them yourself. Especially this guy  8). He's a bad egg.

That worked for me. I was able to download that file by right clicking & going to "save target as". I don't see any problem with it - although it seems you are trying to use html (or something) which the forum does not accpet, as I recall.

Not if light were to reflect off the "water" back up towards the web. I like it that way.

I think Mr C's got it, as I recall from seeing it when I was younger (three coins that start heads-tails-heads, but the principle is the same), it is infact impossible to do it the other way.

I've heard several performances of Creep where the word "fucking" isn't used at all, although some of these were not in fact by Radiohead, so who knows? If it is a dubover, it's certainly not noticable.

Great animation, I love the style, as if it is being drawn there & then. I've seen similar ideas before, but few of this quality.

And let's not forget their other work:

Low Morale

but blender has no ZVarily.. always keep that in mind!

I think you guys are just making up features to make Blender look bad. Does 3DS have a monkey primitive? Blender does.

I made this 3D model of a ninja using ONLY ZVarily and a extra frothy chocolate milkshake:



It could be perceived as an allegory of the Russian Revolution, in which the lasers represent communism.

And Blender represents something which is being shot at by a laser.

Usually Sprite Jams aren't voted for, instead the creator of the topic (in this case BoG) just decides on a winner, although it has been known in the past for this person to decide on a vote. Usualy we just have to wait for 'em though...

Yes, but how much profit do you think Sam & Max, DoTT, Indy etc make these days, in a world of GTAs & such? Even if they get the coverage in magazines & whatnot, I'd bet they don't make much money. And even if the quality was just as good, a lot less people are gonna buy an AGS made game, sadly, so I agree with scotch on this one.

Do I recognize this comedian from some LSL game?
And if so, where can I apply for my cookie?

No you do not, no cookie for you.

It's not hard to guess when Pudding makes a Family Guy reference....

I think that Haddas's is the terminator, Redrum's is Duke Nukem.

In the Acheological site-type-place, look at the hill in the background, where the smoke is coming from.

The thing set in the bar that was planned with, well, scripts and everything?

It was managed by OsUltimo.

For those of you who do not remember OsUltimo, he was the guy who left the forums in a temper tantrum over his banning at #ags. He won't be coming back, and as a result, it seems highly unlikely that project will ever be ressurected.

Tis a great game thus far fov but I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I'm trying to catch this pink animally thing in the cave but I can't find this jar of which everyone speaks. Where is it?

[close]

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

It's like asking someone their fave color. It's pointless.

No. It's purple. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar & a thief & probably sells drugs to babies.

verywierdguy - I find it funny that you have that opinion on the Original trilogy given that you weren't born until almost a decade after Return of the Jedi was released

Hehe, you got me. I guess my post falls flat now.

First time I saw the originals it was the PROPER originals, the 70/80s ones. I think I was like 5 or 6, and I loved them. The adventure was there, the puppets & *FLASH!* *BANG!*s were there, I was too young to really appreciate much else about them. Now that I tend to have...opinions on things, I tend to think "so what?".

I agree that they were revolutionary films, & I had not considered the fact that they paved the way for "Blockbusters" in a way...thinking about the years after when we had our Jaws & our ETs etc etc, so yeah, I agree, they are important films, I just don't think they're that special. Maybe you did have to be there, and maybe people will think this of things like Lord of the Rings in years to come. And maybe I will get pissed off at the lil' cynical teenager who is putting Gollum's "inferior technology" down like many will want to do me right now

But I guess I was mainly referring to people my age (a few friends of mine, for example) who worship the movies. They were not born until almost a decade after Return Of the Jedi was released, & so did not experience this "magic" which you mention. I mean, I have nothing against it of course, as Andail says, it's all about personal preferences.

And I completely agree with your Ep I & II comments. People don't feel the magic again, so they poopoo the films, which I think are just as good as the originals to be honest. They have that same degree of general "fun", even if they have been designed for a different generation.

Also, I would like to point out that I don't dislike old movies (some may get this impression from my post), I'm just not a Star Wars...guy. They're good enough films, just not masterpieces, in my humble opinion. Different Strokes, etc

[Create a new modernized version of a beloved character]

Create a new modernized version of a beloved character

I think that was kinda his point A mangaised version of Leela. Fits the profile.

I completed it in about half an hour when I saw it, it's not too hard, but I still liked it. Fairly simple, and very point & click in that there isn't a MASSIVE deal of out & out puzzle solving (even a lot of basic pixel hunting*), but it kept me entertained.

* - don't let this put you off.

I think I've done the Star Wars rant before, but hey, no one listens to me anyway, so I might as well not be listened to now as well.....:

Star Wars is quite possibly the most overrated movie series in cinematic history.

I don't HATE the series (series including the original trilogy too), but I still fail to see what is so special about them, I do not understand the cult following they have. I acknowledge the impact they have had on pop culture & whatnot, but I still don't see WHY. The story is fair enough, a relatively simple "good vs evil" concept, and that does them credit. I just don't see anything else about them that makes them outstanding.....the acting is wooden, the direction is nothing special.

The special effects in the OT were revolutionary, and as a result were worth watching in the sense of them being historical, nothing like this had been attempted so well before then, but now big ol' Lucas had edited and "inproved" all of them that has kind of defeated their purpose, and so they have lost one of the tihngs that have saved them in my book.

As for the new trilogy (and by trilogy I mean eps I & II) I don't see why so many HATE them. I think they're just about as good as the 70s ones in terms of acting etc, and the special effects are again an example of up-to-the-monent technology (although I would probably argue that there is an over-reliance on these effects, but that is a criticism of most blockbusters these days anyway). I think that people don't like these ones because they have failed to recapture the magic that people felt back then in their pre-pubescent days. They don't have the same spark that they did then because big budget stuff like this is a dime-a-dozen these days.

I'll go see the third film, & I'll probably enjoy it. As long as they tie up loose ends, I'm happy. I just don't expect a revolution.

Is this game going to be completely in German or will there be an English translation? It certainly looks interesting, I'd like to see how it goes. Good luck with it!
