Only finished the intro puzzle, but so far the inventory UI is atrocious. Why is there a completely different UI element to combine inventory items? Why can't I just select one item, then the other? Is reordering my inventory so important that it requires the clunky panel? Why does the magnifying glass deselect after looking at an item? Why do I need to click to exit the inventory? I'm enjoying the game itself, though. The art works a lot better than I expected. I love the trees effect when going to the menu.

First, EDGE is apparently back on the iPhone store. My mp3 player doesn't even play video, so I haven't had a chance to try it. Second, glad y'all enjoyed my game! Edge Tycoon got 2nd place in the Edge games competition. Short a mere three votes for first. I had too much integrity to beg friends and forum-mates for votes. Whoops. Nearly all of the games are short/good enough to be worth checking out.

Groundbreaking? Really?

Oooh. Never got a chance to play the Last Crusade. And Ossk, chill out. Nothing wrong with giving the consumers legal options to buy your products. No one's going to be repaying if they don't want to. It's not like Lucasarts is capable of retroactively shutting down DOSBOX, ScummVM, and all old computers to force people to rebuy the old games.

Yep, I'm blind. Didn't notice the . Just beat it. Deffo one of the best adventure games I've played recently. Laughing my ass off most of the time. The cheeky facial expressions on Dan and Ben were a great touch. Absolutely love the map which gives access to every single room in the game, and the insane amount of time and thought given to inventory item combination dialogues. I hope this ushers in a new era where game writers never use the phrase "I can't use these things together," and where semi-logical solutions have logical responses. (I'd put many thumbs up here if they were still working on the forum. )

Stuck again. Trying to find a , even though . Tried everything I had with the , so I'm probably missing an item somewhere.

Demo was great, although I'm still confused why the industry standard jump button makes my worm fire a bazooka at his feet. I have to overcome at least fifteen years of conditioning to overcome every time I want to jump, and there aren't customizable controls. Thumb games will probably convince me to get it. Worms multiplayer is a blast. The original Worms Armageddon was one of the first online games I played over a 56k modem. Lost most of my firing intuition over the years, though.

I still remember when they took out half the weapons for the first xbla release, and claimed that removing features was an attempt to make it more strategic. I'll probably still be buying it. Edit: And why the hell was "A" fire and "B" jump when "A" is jump in every single platform game ever. I shot a bazooka at my feet so many times because of that design decision.

Besides the remake of SOMI coming out next month to XBLA, you'll probably have to get them used. Lucasarts has been terrible at making them available, hence our general surprise at the one-two punch of the remake and sequel.

Found another bug. After the absolutely hilarious scene where , trying to use anything on the makes the game think it's . Not sure what I did to trigger that. I'd send the save file to you, but I'm not sure where they're located. And Jake, if you're reading this, get Telltale to contract Zombie Cow to design the next Sam & Max season.

In the name of IMMERSION I decided to escort from the West side of the map to the East side. Well, I tried to. About 2/3 of the way, I told him to hide behind a car while I took care of some raiders. When I came back, one of his hands somehow got a y-value of infinity. He had one arm stretching to the sky while his body bounced around and convulsed like a demented marionette. Even if you don't pay any attention the man behind the curtain, he's bound to slip up the longer you talk to the giant, floating head. That's immersion for ya.

What kind of movie studio would trust their children's show licenses to a studio with the name A2M?

Haven't had much time to play (only at the ) at the moment, but I'm enjoying it a lot! Time travel paradoxes are my favorite puzzles. By the way, when trying to run it from the shortcut, AGS crashes before anything happens. Works fine from the actual EXE for god knows why. --------------------------- Illegal exception --------------------------- An exception 0xC0000005 occurred in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x6C1335DE ; program pointer is +5, ACI version 3.12.1074, gtags (1,100) AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal.

Rez would probably work really well (tap and swipe to lock on, release to shoot. small button or shake for overdrive), as would the Shining Force turn-based strategy games. @twmac: Am I the only one who hated the Micro Machines games for stopping the race whenever either player left the screen?

BTDT was awesome. A new adventure game by you is not a con at all!

I just finished making Edge Tycoon if anyone's interested. http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6619.msg211236#msg211236

I'm actually making a short game based on this. Like a tycoon game, except you have no product except single-word trademarks, and no source of income besides frivolous lawsuits. It should be out this weekend. PM me if you want to help test it before then. http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=6619.0

I found an interesting New Yorker article about American textbook prices a few years ago.

I once saw a full-priced statistics book with the following formula for combinations: r! nCr = --------- r!(n-r)! No, that's not a typo on my end. The book really wanted you to believe from that equation that the number of ways you can take r individual items out of a group of n (without order mattering) is always a fraction. Oh, and it was a third edition.

The thumb smilies are still broken.
