    In case anyone still cares about my loving, playable tribute to this forum, the full version of TEH FORUM GAME is out, with levels from over seven different crazy people. My level based on the Idle Forums didn't really change that much (except for one-word instructions and a much more forgiving time limit).

    Trailer: http://www.jonnycomics.com/teh_forum_game_trailer.wmv

    You can download the game here: http://www.jonnycomics.com/games.htm

    Edit (2/27/08): Changed download link to creator's official site.

    Can't say I miss the spam graveyard. It's not that it wasn't fun mocking a hated subset of humanity without fear of reprisal, but rather that the spambots were so unoriginal that it got boring after a while. It had its moments, and touched each of us in its special way before its passing. :innocent:

    If there's one thing that the Video game industry can take from this, is that the public demands options. R.I.P. Spam Graveyard: 2006-2006 :violin:

    It's a very weird feeling playing the demo and knowing that paying consumers have many of the same limitations as you.:fart:

    I'm just glad I grabbed Lumixed 4E4 before it was taken down to avoid the inevitable cease and desist.

    Got a one-month trial. Sam and Max was funny, if a bit short.

    The psychology puzzles were all kinds of awesome.

    I've heard good things about The Last Express (just started playing it), Shadow of Destiny (originally a PS2 adventure game), and Planescape: Torment(RPG where you play an immortal being). The Earthworm Jim games are also pretty fun (except for EWJ3d), as well as Super Puzzle Fighter II and The Incredible Machine. Introversion's Uplink hacker sim was added recently, too. Honestly, right now I think I'm not going to renew GameTap and just buy the season direct from Telltale.

    Actually, a Schindler's List-style zombie movie would be interesting. Set up zombies as a misunderstood, persecuted population, with the hero trying to save them from genocide at the hands of a heartless government... :getmecoat

    I created a set of five consecutive minigames based on this topic at the Idle Forums. It was made in Multimedia Fusion 2 over the course of about a month (with lots of downtime), and is intended as part of a future collaborative game at The Daily Click, each level based on a forum topic.

    All minigames are played using only the arrow keys and shift.

    I liked it enough to play through it, but not as much as the original. I thought the puzzles got boring after a while. Also, I liked the added depth of the appeal system in Paper Mario:1000-Year Door, which was missing here. The dialogue was my main reason to play through it:

    I especially enjoyed the l337 h4mm3r br0s. and the star door that starts chiding Mario on his cholesterol after talking about having a pure heart.

    I don't remember having too much trouble with the endgame in PiT, but I do remember an evil, evil part in the first Mario & Luigi which automatically took away most of your health after an epic boss fight and then expected you to near-perfectly dodge completely new patterns before you were able to heal yourself. :fart:

    Oh, and was it just me, or did most bosses seem to have a ridiculous amount of HP? They seemed to take such a long time to beat, but weren't actually too difficult when you learned their patterns.

    I joined the grassroots Psychonauts on 360 campaign with an email. I didn't pretend to be a terminally ill child, but I did sort of imply (well, explicitly state) that they make Tim, me, and the children of the world sad as long as The Most Excellent Game Psychonauts is backwards uncompatible.

    What I want to know is, does the G-Man make any of his patented 'Where's G-Man?' appearances in the game? I certainly haven't spotted him yet, apart from the cutscene at the beginning of course, and his briefcase at the entrance to the train station.

    I haven't seen any more of the G-Man, but I have seen

    that crazy, fat, psychic (?) alien

    in at least one other monitor after

    you free it early in the citadel and you run away while it telepathically gives you bad vibes.

    I have a feeling that it will be important later.
