  1. Sam & Max: Situation: Comedy

    I wouldn't mind little 32 pixel bars on the top and bottom of the screen, that would work. Otherwise my monitor stretches the picture to a 5:4 aspect ratio. And the sound problem does exist. I don't know if you have bum ears or bum speakers, but I've clearly heard the faults over four games, two different computers, a new Creative X-fi soundcard and several different headphones and speakers. It's such a shame to have a thing like this mar what is otherwise a great experience. Anyway, if better quality voice files eventually get released, I'll applaud you for it. Oh, and Miffy, there's a small gray gear on the top left of the screen. Use that to get to the options, save menu and such.
  2. Sam & Max: Situation: Comedy

    You can't tweak the resolution? The game does support multiple resolutions, although it'd be nice if it supported my LCD's native 1280x1024 (as opposed to 1280x960). What irks me is that they still haven't fixed the bad compression for the voices. Every 's' sounds wrong The rest seems to be great. Only played a few minutes. Oh, and this time I had absolutely no problems downloading and getting to play the game, that's a big plus.
  3. Agreed, "E for Everyone" would be great. I wonder if that's copyrighted, though?
  4. Yeah, kids should be reading, they'd look way more active then.
  5. How did you find Idle Forums?

    Adventuregamers for me too.
  6. Let's all celebrate with new avatars!

    You know, I couldn't find exactly the same picture Rodi used, but I did my best. It's pretty close.
  7. Typography in games

    You should've made this into an article.
  8. So I just played Dreamfall...

    I don't know about Dreamfall, but in The Longest Journey the characters just would not stop talking. I begged!
  9. Let's all celebrate with new avatars!

    Just for a while.
  10. Movie/TV recommendations

    Oh man, I need to see Children of Men. Pan's Labyrinth was great, btw, go see it!
  11. Battlestar Galactica Season 3

    I'm dying. No House either :/
  12. GoTY 2006 meta thread

    HL: Episode Two isn't coming out until some time next year.
  13. Your personal games of the year 2006

    Number One: Hitman: Blood Money Love it to death. All the cranks have been worked out, mission quality is consistent. It's a thing of beauty. Number Two: Sam and Max Episode One: Culture Shock It didn't buckle under the expectations, which is one of the most impressive achievements in gaming history. Number Three: The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Rodi can suck it. Number Four: The Blackwell Legacy From the guy who had you play a rabbi in his last game, a great little adventure. Nice voice acting for an indie game!
  14. Jack Thompson has shares in Take Two?

    Take Two's share prizes have suffered quite a bit because of Jack Thompson.
  15. Movie/TV recommendations

    What? No, that's a Black Adder special.
  16. Would you rather...

    I'd by far rather play a bad game for three hours. I'd also rather live forever (& be invulnerable, since that's the only way it makes sense) than die now.
  17. Connecting console to TV

    Composite BAD Component GOOD You probably need a switchbox.
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    Me and You and Everyone We Know?
  19. I want to play Zelda

    I have also heard rumours that there are other games for the Wii than tennis.
  20. Battlestar Galactica Season 3

    Finally a quality episode.
