kq5 had too many dead ends for my liking. Kq3 for me

We all hear about the death of the adventure game genre. While it is true the genre will never completely die few people would argue it is a picture of perfect health. We have all heard many arguments as to why they are dying. I will add what I think is one small piece in the puzzle One thing I have...

Yip they are pretty saweet and probably New Zealands most successful musicians ever!!! LOL (well maybe 2nd to crowded house) They done an awesome charity concert to fundraise for one of their former schools that was having financial problems. Pretty awesome to have an international act playing in so...

Sorry for draggin this off topic but I had to bait Klytos :smokin :smokin :smokin But the world cup is still ours!!! I don't care if you beat us in some mid year test, you choked in the big one. I mean really how could you lose the world cup final to a kiwi team without a backline!! Hmmm which one h...

Oh so true .... but the monty python quotes is def a sign of being a nerd.

In fact the only thing that should be regulalry repeated is .... NEW ZEALAND ARE THE RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD CHAMPIONS

I found both the rules and the two nerd activities limit very amusing .... Not that I have ever played D&D but surely surely the rules would have to include banning anyone who regulaly quoted monty python.

To celebrate their 5th birthday Telltale games are having a special promo where you can buy any episode for $5. This is a good change to get some cheap quality adventure games. You need a code which you can get by subscribing to their newsletter. Or if you want to thank me for alerting you to this y...

Would doing an episodic game get around the large development costs? I am not sying it is cheap to do each episode but it surely has to be cheaper then completing a full game. I think a full length game split into 3 episodes could be a great thing. Also potential buyers are far more likely to take a...

Hmm never played Flight of the Amazon Queen.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a bit of fun though

Yeah TNB is great. I think I downloaded it at your rec. It is probably one of my fav original indie adventures

Just wondering if you were starting qfg2 from scratch would you still choose to use the ags engine?

Also if you were to make an original game in the style of qfg how much time do you think you would have saved with your knowledge and code from the qfg2 project?

I think his point is that the PS3 is very expensive compared to other consoles. For him he sees more enjoyment  out of having the variety between an xbox360 and a wii then he would out of having just a Ps3. Obviously that is not going to be the same for everyone though and it comes down to personal ...

Arrh yes the good ole days of the tierra forums. Now with these a lot less active it means that I am not only nostalgic about adventure games but also the fan community.

The Cheetahs may go ok in this years super14. the fact that the NZ teams are weakend by  resting of top players before our 4 yearly world cup choke will help out the Aus and SA teams. But personallyI think the crusaders will reign again, they have a good enough squad to win a few games while they ar...

My fav game at the moment is Championship Manager 4. I am totally addicted and have been playing on my pc for the last few months. The other day my pc got unplugged rather then shut down and ever since then when I try and access the game I end up getting an error message informing me that I have ran...

For anyone who hasn't caught up with the news, Al Lowe has returned to game making, for more info see http://www.ibaseentertainment.com

I wouldn't make the assumption that this question is only about Al.

You will find with all authors their writing is effected by their world view. Quite frankly I am not too bothered if a fiction book is atheistic, christian or something else in its "propoganda" if it is a good story I will read it

Saw the Chronicles of Narnia (2005) on Sunday arvo and thought it was a good solid film without being spectacular. It could have been fleshed out a little more.

I give it a 7

It is worth a watch for sure. So is the world's fastest indian when it makes it to foreign shore.

Good work broomie, that is a cool video clip. the song aint too bad either!

I am surprised the link hasn't been removed, isn't this a form of piracy?
