My Favorite is Matt Brown does the News at http://mattbrown.ebloggy.com/
it isnt updated as often as Id like, and the last two entries werent as good as the first bunch, but Brown appears to be a smart guy, and a lot of the stuff is well thought out, and a little funny. I was impressed
this isnt really the case. my state turned out too big losers in the geek world. McBride and Hatch. I wish I wasnt the only Mormon who keeps voting agasint him. too bad Im only one man.
but really people...this isnt just a Utah problem. I can rattle off a bunch of other states who have really crappy senators who hurt lots of us.
hmmm, thats odd. In Ohio, a doctor signing a paper saying "this kid has ADHD", and after the Child takes a 2 hour test on basic school knowlage, the kid is intitled to a tutor, and the school gets 20 grand from the state to help the new special-ed student.
Too bad that schools dont actually have to spend the cash on the kid! I had a 31 on my ACT freshman year, and was having trouble making myself do my homework. The school gave me a semi-retarded (I kid you not) tutor, who lost my study-skills worksheets, a broken 386dx, and a pencil.
so many great games have been created using this program! go to www.agsforums.com and click on the games link. I highly recomend larry vales, PDA, (as mentioned above), the King's Quest remakes, and the rob blanc games.
I am a member of the AGS community, and have created a few point and click adventures, using these sorts of programs. Many have this problem
There are ways around it. You can have other people draw your art, or just use mspaint, and make a really funny game. A few of the independant classics have had pretty crappy graphics actually
yeah, I remember this one for a while too, like DOTT. It was a new type of game. One that was extreemly funny, yet kept great gameplay. Certainly one that you re-played.
on that note, LA is making sam and Max 2...possibly still using SCUMM. the rebirth of adventure games?
I was wondering when somebody was going to mention this. GF was the last of the great games that told stories, the ol' adventure games. I will never know why people stopped making them.
Personally, I also was a bit moved by the Neverhood, although I'm not really sure why. Also, Gaberial Night also excelled at telling a story, and I didn't shake it for a while
yeah, I agree. it was so fake, and so centered on his breasts. the shower bit, very unnessisarry...and the plot was very very bad.

sheesh, even before that! The ol rinky dink minor league baseball team columbus clippers has been shooting t-shirts at people via a cannon since 1995 or 1996. They are standard fare at every staduim across the country.
Of course, we dont get the scandly clad ladies next to them. those are only for the pro games.
I agree, and a half hour a night is lucky. My older sister is a senior an takes AP english. My mother is taking classes over the internet to get a PhD. My sister does more work and writes more papers. This is not right.
Plus, if you add in any extra activity, (like..gasp! a sport!) which adds another two hours a night to school....its no wonder why us high schoolers dont get enough sleep. or commit suicide from the stress of a high preforming high school.
speaking of which, I think I ought to get off/. and get back to my paper on world war I.
I have done some beta testing for some undergound adventure games, not because I get paid, (which I don't), but because I like adventure games and wanted to understand to delevopment process better. It sucks. The game was fun, but after trying to break it every way possible, the fun goes away quick. I can't think about doing this for a living...this was just a little 8 hours a week sort of thing for my name in the credits.
yeah..I couldn't get that one to work very well either..but I had a genesis. I sat down for an hour once, and never got it to work. So I just beat the game
this might be sort of off-topic, but I wonder if you can find out how much dough companies make off pop-adds and such. I mean..has anybody bought one of those little camera thingees? I guess this must be some sort of an effective way of advertisment, otherwise everybody would have wisened up and stopped using it.
I loved a lot of the old sierra adventure games of the late 80's early 90's and wanted to buy copies of the ones I didn't have. When I discovered I couldn't but them anywhere, I e-mailed seirra, asking for premission to download there stuff for free. The guy said he was amazed that I was still playing the games they made before I was even born, and I may download them with his blessing. He only warned me that they couldn't offer tech support. On the flip side, Lucusarts still sells their old games for 20 bucks a pop. I wonder if they make much money off them, they wouldn't tell me!
Besides, Sega has a horrible track record with Hardware.
uh, no. Besides the Dreamcast, Sega's hardware was always been a cut above the rest at the time of release. The game gear was the most powerful portible system before the GBA, but had a really crappy battery life. The Genesis was a great system, but it wasn't marketed. Sega CD games were too expensive to make, and the list goes on.
this is true. Also, Sierra was one of the first companies to add lots of easter eggs to their games, thus adding to replay value. Those old, dos adverture games of the late 1980's early 1990's were truly great things. However, after kings quest 7, they all just vanished. I hope this new space quest will be good anf funny like the old ones. I'm sick of larry vales.
thanks. I was always very careful with it, carried it to class every day, etc. However, I have been warry of tosiba stuff, ever since the lawsuit about their floppy drives, (I got 500 bucks out of it).

best buy also used to sell the sega nomad..which played genesis games on a hand-held machine I think.

here is a link of the top 10 scientific breakthus in the past 10 years. Notice the differences http://www.msnbc.com/news/849691.asp?0si=-
also, you could also use AGS, which uses something like C++. you can get it at www.adventuregamedelevoper.co.uk
On that same note, I think www.theunderdogs.org has music from old games, like sierra games.
