RAIDERS OF TEH LOST PENIS!11!
(Guest starring Jaws......or something)

Most of the budget was spent on popcorn and penguins...for some reason...

Next up - something that you'd find at a freak show

You should start knitting scarves, judging by your new avatar...

This is the funniest thing I've read today. Well done Sylph, you've pointed out everything perfectly.

Also, shitar, your monitor is probably broken. Go and buy a new one. And a new PC just in case. And make sure you find one with 'YABB forum postal view win upgrade version 5.53'

Also, you are an idiot.

Oops, sorry to all those who weren't supposed to be in my list....

I tried to find Flippy's first ever post as compensation, but his profile only shows the last 914 posts he made.

Oh well :.

Here is the furthest back I could find

Feel free to outdo me.

I can translate stuff into Scottish and h4ck0rz:

Adventure Game Studio is cool

In Scottish:

Och aye, Adventure Game Studio is cool.

In h4ck0rz:

01001010110100010010100010101001010010101!

Here are a few who joined around the same time as Flippy (within a month or two):

We have all been plaguing you for a year!

* veryweirdguy disappears off into nostalgia...
(Of course there were others who had only made like three posts, but all those here have made over 100 posts and have posted in the last month)

Also, m0ds gets waaaaaaaay too much credit for this game (no offence m0ds  ).

I know Miez does the backgrounds & scotch does some of the character work, and I'm sure there are a few others...

Anyway, this thread is pointless anyway. I don't know why I posted.

Shit, I know you impersonated me on IRC.Do it again and die.
What the fuck makes you think that we're all paintballers? Make a game first, then rant and rave. Never assume. You'll make an ass of yourself.

Who impersonated you on IRC? shitar? Was I involed in any way?

Also, it's "Never assume. You'll make an ASS of U and ME both".
At least, that's from Silence of the Lambs. I assume that's what you meant...

* points & laughs

HA HA HA! You are a freak!

* realises he has 'weird' is his own name

Oh wait...........damn.

Welcome to the forums! Je ne suis pas un souris violet mais la poisson mange les frites!

A new player has entered the field...what shall we do?

Oh wait, it's just DG............damn.

I thought something interesting had happened.

Duzz, those lyrics from SSH are the same as those from 'The Bear Necessities' from The Jungle Book (Disney cartoon film version), although he's just edited them a bit:

The Original:
Look for the bear necessities,
The simple bear necessites,
Forget about your worries and your strife,
I mean the bear necessities,
Um........something something,
somthing something life?

I'll start with what I think will be most people's answer.....

It doesn't matter.

What really matters with a player character is someone you can relate to, ie. the player feels sympathy towards the character when he is sad or hurt, feels happy for them when it all goes right in the end, etc etc.

Of course, this is different if the game is a comedy. A lot of comedy is just like tragedy, only you feel less sorry for the character. You laugh when they are hurt etc.

At least, that's what I think.

Oh, come ON, surely you can sacrifice a couple of virgins for us...

Welcome to the forums. Sick bags available at the shop on your left. Unfortunately we're all sold out at the moment.

We're not jumping down your throat - we're trying to help you. Many newcomers to AGS immediately want to make a big game like Monkey Island or something but a high level of these are scrapped due mainly to lack of experience.

Also, many of us don't like doing art for a game unless we are a bigger part of the project, like we have a say in the plot or something. It's like a writer being told by the publisher "We want you to write THIS story, with THIS plot twist half-way through, and THIS many chapters...". That would just be boring.

Quite a few of us here have low artistic talent (myself included) but we still give it a go simply because it's what we ENJOY doing. We don't get paid, it's just a hobby, so we do thing our own way.

So I urge you, start with smaller projects. They can have simple artwork, illogical puzzles, and don't even have to be released to the public. You just need to get a FEEL for things. I have not released a game to the community yet, all I've done is practise so far.

But it's up to you. Just remember we're trying to help.

Damn. And I would've gotten away with it it it weren't for that meddeling Evil...

Also, I found Evenwolf's original sprite on Eric's Site:

Hee hee. Ghormak is so subtle. But I don't think smilies can write poetry in the dark...

You THINK they died? Was the heart stopping and no breath and rotting flesh not a clue?

Tell me if I'm emoetically incorrect...

how could a regular non-spellcasting Joe be truly threatening?

Most films don't have a spell-casting Joe in them, but can be just as threatening. Hannibal Lecter is one threatening guy, but he ain't doin no magic. Badguys don't have to be magic to be evil, in my opinion.

I'm not saying there should be NO magical characters in adventure games, but I do think that they are a little overused.

CJ,

Helm,

and Roger.

But since this is sort of cheating, someone do it properly in Paint,

Next: Still any AGS member as a south park character (but not using the thing...)

EDIT: whoops, forgot tranparancy for the other two. Oh well.
