$100 isn't all that much come to think of it.

Yeah, that's the catch. I just wanted an overview of what people would do with a set amount of money given to them. But I am unpleasantly surprised that so many answered that they would save it.

If you had a hundred dollars, what would you do with it right now ?

- you're right, my dentist never asked me to read letters. Though to be fair I wouldn't complain; she is gorgeous.

Uh oh, brain overload. Few words, yet so much information.

#2838 Who Do You Think Is Cooler?

Posted by Aureliano on 31 May 2005 - 06:25 PM in Forum Guidelines

Obviously Solid Snake is much cooler. He looks manlier, is sexually aware and is made of bone and flesh, most of him at least. I don't like machines and Denton is too much of a machine for my tastes.

#2746 Banner Contest !

Posted by Aureliano on 30 May 2005 - 11:43 AM in Community Contests, Games, and Role Playing

I have completely changed the layout of my site, but one thing is amiss : a banner. Yeah, those nifty things that make the site so personnal. Well, since I'm horrible at photoshop and I'm not much of a visual artist anyway, I'm asking to you, yeah that's right, you, to try and do something that'll fill up the void in the upper part of the page.

The rules are like this :

- The banner must not be more than 100 pixels high and 700 pixels long.

- The banner must sport dark colors to go with the rest of the layout of the site. If you think said layout is loosy and you just think you have a good idea of what would be real cool looking, feel free to share your opinion.

- The banner must say "No beginning and no end" on it. Feel free to artistically interprete that phrase.

Needless to say, I will ask permission to the winner to use his creation.
Contest starts now and has no definite end.

Thank you very much.

EDIT : Layout updated.

Let's not forget that HotU has Ogre Battle (playstation version) and several super nintendo roms up there, which are not freeware by any stretch of the imagination. They just list whatever they can put without having legal problems.

#2575 Hateful Chris

Posted by Aureliano on 28 May 2005 - 06:33 AM in Game & Software Requests

Agreed. Still no information on the game itself tho.

EDIT : I'm feeling generous today. Here's the HotU review : http://www.the-under...ame.php?id=2792

No way to download it for now since the official site seems to be down. No way to contact the producers either. Also, as you'll know by reading the review, the free version of the game seems to be a teaser to sell the "complete" version of the game. So should this one count as a freeware ?

EDIT 2 (for the hell of it) :

HEY, SPARE ME THE INSULTS AND WHY DONT U FIND OUT ABOUT GAMES!?!?!?!?

There were no insults whatsoever in my post. Just two very agressive questions. Like Maikel pointed out, the tone I'm using is what makes it insulting.

On the last one : it's nice-looking but a little boring. To spice it up, I'd suggest something like bullet impacts on the letters, and maybe a few bloodstains, since there's written "reloaded" and that hint at firearms or something.

I wanted my views to be painted in bright red colours so everybody knew what i was talking about,i did not however want my post to come across as simple 'trolling' it was supposed to be constructive criticism.

So basically, the best way to get your point across and to make your opinion clear is to be rude about it - and since you don't want to sound rude, you pretend not to be by inserting spineless attempts at sounding respectful like

ill be quiet if you want me to.

so no one will notice how offensive some parts of your post are. I stand by my first statement : make up your mind. You can't be one thing and the opposite.

Let's not discuss this further, lest we lead this post astray.

I dont mean to come across as rude thats just my opinion. ill be quiet if you want me to. I just thought you might want advice on how to improve future AGS productions.

Being rude and apologizing for it at the same it isn't a winning formula, Magic. Either you're afraid of your own opinion and you don't give it to people, or you stand by it and you express it into an understandable and concrete form. If you didn't want to be rude, you could have avoided calling those graphics n00bish. Wait, lemme tell ya, I'll rephrase your post so that it'll not be rude.

"YotamElal, it seems to me that you have not put the necessary work into the graphics of your game.
For example:
Chain And Gate have white outlines as they were not properly cut.
You can see the sky through the grass... even if you want to give a cartoonish and simple feel, there are some things that don't depend on style : they are just the difference between quality and amateur.

Maybe you should think about revising the graphics before a final release ?"

See ? it's actually shorter.
