Recent popular edutainment titles here in Germany are Chemicus, Physicus, Chemicus II, Biolab (called Bioscopia outside of Germany, but they could have as easily named it Bioscopy...). They are being sold not only in the sofware section in supermarkets but also in bookstores, for only 10 Euro. Of th...

I also played Ecoquest 2 some months ago and I am 23 now. I enjoyed it, although it was a bit simplistic at times. But that´s what is called edutainment. My favorite part was the batcave (for obvious reasons); and I thought it was a great idea that they actually collaborated with BatCon Internationa...

In order for human population to exhibit neutral growth, 2.1 children on average have to be born per family. In your example every parent replaces himself in the population and (you missed that part) dies. Net result - no change. The number is higher than 2, in order to account for infant mortality....

Rog, if you really love animals you shouldn't study to become a vet, but go into research biology instead. I am not talking about medicinal pseudo-research, but ecological/evolutionary research, which, when done properly, can really help the animals. In case it wasn't clear, that's what I am on my w...

Actually, I think it was done as a way to detach the custom title from post count number and to discourage people in pursuit of a custom title from flooding the threads with meaningless one-liners and committing thread necromancy.

I was wondering if the portrait pictures in your games are also sketched by hand first and then finished digitally or if you use some other method. (Where there portrait pictures in the original QFG?)

Extending on the "relativation" idea, when something gets accidentally (not intentionally like in Greece :p ) broken in Bulgaria, it is considered a sign of good fortune. I personally think it's just superstitious crap, just a way not to get mad at the loss of a precious glass, plate or wh...

Tony Plana

If you don't recognize that name, then you should know that he is the actor who did the voice of Manuel Calavera in my favorite adventure game Grim Fandango. Read his filmography here . At one point during the 22-hour long bus ride back home they put some Steven Seagull (I know it's Seagal) DVD on. ...
