  1. Thanks for the good wishes, and as for the latter sentiment... well, just hold onto that 'probably'
  2. Oh no, another fail! These forum newbs sicken me.
  3. Hmmmm, that would be a question for Dan, but I'm guessing '1'. I'll point him towards this thread!
  4. I consider the DOS version of PoP the best version.
  5. Yay! Amazing, thanks toblix! Donations will be taken into account when considering the marketplace realities of making another one!
  6. Hello! Yeah, the orange donate button on the home page is the best way. Thanks for your support, guys!
  7. Let's put it this way: we haven't started the sequel yet..! It's doing okay, but we're hoping for a spike when we get some stuff in print soon. But arsehole pirates have already got their grubby mitts on it. Don't worry about the stealth approach, btw! Need a hint..?
  8. Ha ha! Our current position is that we'll start to think about a sequel if TGP hits 10 000 sales... Glad you enjoyed it!
  9. They're called *Video Games*

    Check this link. It is fucking genius and only loosely related to the original statement: http://www.majusarts.de/blog/?p=404
  10. How do TVs work?

    Yufster? Are you there? You didn't try to fix it by getting it struck by lightning again, did you? YufSTERRRRRR?!!!
  11. How do TVs work?

    You're having trouble getting power to the box at all? It just turns on for half a second then goes off again? If so, I'd say it's nothing to do with the service provider, it's something that could have happened to any appliance. I'd try the basics: plug it into a different socket, that you know is working/plug something else into that socket to check the socket's circuit isn't gone somehow. If it's not the socket, then perhaps it's worth changing the fuse in the plug. If that doesn't help get power to it, then it's something more majorly wrong with the box itself and I guess you would need to call the cable providers and ask for advice (they may have to send someone round). Have I got the wrong end of the stick? Does this sound like sound advice to everyone else? Is it too late for this now?
  12. There's no shame in doing what Tobix tells us, Nevsky! Sorry for the bump, guys, just wanted to let any of you who had trouble with Paypal on our site know that we've sacrificed aesthetics for robustness, so it should all be working fine now.
  13. The king is dead!

    No, I checked it on snopes.com, it's real.
  14. And remember to play it naked! Thanks Toblix!
  15. Tales of Monkey Island

    Ron is talking about a Special Edition style re-release with new graphics and voices, not a ToMI style sequel. So he hasn't sold out by consulting on ToMI, but he has changed his mind about the idea of a Special Edition. On the subject of MI2's ending, I suspect Ron was planning to make a third game, and so put the lightning/spell stuff in as a cliffhanger and to give himself somewhere to go. I think he wanted to have his 'imagination twist' cake and eat it. What I would be interested to see, if we ever got The Real Monkey Island 3 from Ron, would be how he decided to balance the imagination twist, which he had been setting up throughout the two games, vs the 'this is real' Caribbean stuff.
  16. Toblix: Yay! Enjoy! Have emailed Dan re. your PM, and will let you know... Noyb: EDIT: Oh, apparently the whole game works great on Crossover.
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    Knowing is one of those films that I will agree with any criticism of, but follow up with "but I just really liked it!"
  18. My Dad is awesome

    But he wouldn't have five others to go along with her!
  19. My Dad is awesome

    Yeah, well Andre Dussolier didn't have a CARDBOARD BOX. That's right, I dropped the C+H bomb.
  20. My Dad is awesome

    No, wait! They didn't have Tia and Tamera Mowry!
  21. My Dad is awesome

    Shit, I think you won already.
  22. My Dad is awesome

    Yeah, but they didn't have Paul Reiser, Greg Evigan and Giovanni Ribisi on board.
  23. Life

    Yeah, I find Virgin very efficent and helpful, and good value. See what join-up deals they've got...
  24. My Dad is awesome

    Ooh, it could lead to a lot of comedic situations, though!
  25. Any luck with Crossover, OssK? PS - two big reviews! http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/time-gentlemen-please-review http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/100/1000790p1.html
