  1. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    I could swear that animation plays no matter what in the CD Version.
  2. Fez 2

    Exactly. Plus the rest of your post was the best. I also went to a couple of years of therapy for anger management as well and it's still tough. Fish's portrayal in Indie Game the Movie and the things he's said publicly the last two years has put me off from wanting to play Fez any time soon. I definitely wouldn't want to be around the guy in person, but what is the point of everyone constantly hounding him? I feel like he has made himself an easy target because he gets mad so easily and people are just getting their jollies out of pissing him off at this point. That's pretty disgusting in my opinion.
  3. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    I actually was never able to determine what the new animation was supposed to be. I tried expert mode on the CD version long ago but didn't see any difference.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    So a friend got me in to a special screening of the uncut Plague Dogs print that the director brought to Austin the other day. I've never seen that before and boy was that heavy. Great film, glad I watched it, even though I might not be up for another viewing. The animation style was very interesting in the way it ignored outlines and actually showed talking dogs acting like just dogs (that talked) without any of the usual animation trope crap to get it up to Lady and the Tramp tier.

    After the new job title and everything? That's incredibly shitty! I hope you find something soon and the living situation works out!
  6. Hey guys (and gals?), I'm new to these parts.

    I'm semi-famous in the Philippines. That is bigger than WoW.
  7. Games giveaway

    Oh wait, I think I understand it all with the help of my friend. I should be able to just trade outside of TF2 and then trade for nothing. This one potential buyer was chatting up a storm telling me if I trade for nothing it will all say "gifted by" and that my Sam and Max items aren't worth that much. He kept wanting to pay right away, I said I'd get back to him and he's like, "How about at 5?" The guy seems fishy. I don't think trading for nothing says "gifted by" if I just use the Steam trade. It appears I have to use giftwrap in order for that to show up and it seems that's for untradeable items, which does not seem to include Sam and Max. Way to go Valve for making this incredibly convoluted. Either way, I get the feeling what I'm doing is a bit risky if this page is anything to go by: http://tf2-trader.com/index.php?topic=1147.0 A friend seems interested in just taking the items and him giving me the $100 or whatever and he could just trade them for steam wallet money.
  8. Games giveaway

    Need some nice cash. I'm guessing from what I understand so far, I make them pay first, make sure Paypal doesn't do a chargeback, then I somehow give them the items within Team Fortress. However, since no one is online I'm not sure what I'd do after that. Is there a way to just gift all of my items after I get the monies?
  9. Games giveaway

    Okay, I've finally put up my Sam and Max items on TF2 Outpost for real cash and I have a couple of offers. How do I do this so I don't get screwed? I am not familiar with the step by step process. Does it require me to open TF2? I am taking Paypal only on it.
  10. That's how I feel. One thing that people always seem to forget when some kind of media they've been expecting comes out is any delay. When you get this great thing, it feels worth it, and the audience generally never remembers any kind of late release after the following 6 months or so when the complainers finally find something else to gripe about. Then when new players who missed the game the first time around visit it years later, they are only seeing the product for what it is and will appreciate it as it stands in that moment in time. To me that's what Kickstarter should be offering the developers. However I guess if you release a really shitty game that everyone hates and had delays in the process, people will remember all of it.
  11. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    I prefer the FM Towns version of Loom for all of the original graphics, dialogue, and close ups, but there are also a few added scenes to the CD version as well. I think while the CD version has great voice acting, you spend way too much of the game in silence. FM Towns version has more constant music if I recall. But most people who have ever played Loom seem to have only played the CD version with the voice acting, so maybe that's for the best? But yeah, like Udvarnoky said, you should probably listen to the audio drama first. It kind of helps the player understand a lot of what is going on much earlier in the game.
  12. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    I tried to play Deponia recently but my computer wasn't fast enough for the HD video. I guess I'll wait. I do have Gray Matter installed so that'll probably be the next modern adventure I played. Chains of Satinav looks cool as well. This game seems to have a very similar style, but I don't think it's a sequel. Wait what? I stopped posting in recently completed games because you made it seem not very useful because of how hard to index it was.
  13. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Who is to say it's even being antagonistic? Most likely if a dog is left outside all night, it's going to attack whatever comes into it's territory. The hypothetical of it being another dog is because dog fights are much more serious and harder to break up, in which case throwing a dog down a flight of stairs is even still excessive. Picking up a wild raccoon is also an incredibly stupid idea. Also it's generally not advised to leave your dog out all night because of safety issues like this and because barking can be fucking obnoxious to everyone around.
  14. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Dude tosses the raccoon down a flight of stairs. That's a bit excessive. If it were another dog attacking his dog and not a raccoon, no one would think this is funny. Also I don't even understand the set up here. Why is his dog outside at 1 AM in an apartment complex? That's surely not okay. Why are there two different camera angles filming from the beginning?
  15. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Even with the explanation, I find that guy's over the top attempts to fling a raccoon off the balcony over a fight to still be animal abuse.
  16. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    Should that be a spoiler? I don't even know. Oh yeah, I finished Last Crusade the other night and got 506 points for my episode score and the maximum 800 points for the series score. I actually had no idea how to obtain both the best and worst ending because it seems to have been a problem with my PC being too fast back then as indicated by Thunderpeel's guide. So there was no way to grab the grail before Elsa just instantly picked it up. I thought that was what was supposed to happen anyway. Certainly is the most eventful way to get to the ending.
  17. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    Well if it helps I think I made fun of the stupid puzzle you are stuck on earlier in this thread more than a couple of times.
  18. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    Why on earth are you playing this?
  19. Let's Draw Video Games

    Very cool!
  20. Life

    No, sure better not have a biological clock to change her mind! I have no time for children, I have a huge video game backlog to deal with!
  21. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Holy fuck! So jealous of that free $2,440! EDIT: And then I scrolled down some more and realized what an idiot I was for posting before looking through the whole link.
  22. Life

    I also imagined you were super old Zeus, like 36. I guess it's the kid. I'm only a year younger than you. I don't think I can handle dealing with children as I'm pretty bad at prioritizing my life, tasks, and general responsible budgeting of time as it so it's probably a no go. My way too long girlfriend does not seem to want kids though so it's fine.
  23. The Big LucasArts Playthrough

    Hmm, is that so? That seems broken, but maybe I am wrong. Are you using ScummVM? If so maybe there's a bug with their emulation.
  24. Life

    Shit two months sounds even more terrible even if it's maybe off by two weeks. Also you were scaring me a bit there, making me wonder if I had offended you in some way and caused you to want to hunt me down.
