Hey guys,

Did you know I'm putting an event together in London early 2010 for retro adventure game fans. It's called AdventureX.

The official URL is adventurex.eu but it isn't working just yet cos I only bought it today and I don't really understand CNames and the word Propogate. But it's okay because you can find out more about it at http://www.screen7.co.uk/adventurex/

It's going to have a freakin' Yahtzee display

Not because of his time as a negro slave, or as a rememberance of the time he flew planes into the Twin Towers - but because he made some pretty nifty adventure games in the past.

Now here's the thing. If there's something we want, it's for him to come and address the public about STUFF. Otherwise it'll just be boring old quotes on a pretty nasty cheap display. Apparentltly he lives in Australia. I wouldn't know, he won't reply to my fucking emails. Apparently he gets a pretty decent share of ad-revenue otherwise why would he have made his point & click SE's freeware in the last week. Apparently he hides a penis under his hat too, but I'm yet to see this. He never attended the first Mittens which was essentially his fucking idea!!

So perhaps you can help support the "Bring Yahtzee to the UK to say at least one interesting word" movement which is AdventureX, currently just a mediocre day out with some point & click legends.

Think about it, get in touch with him, bug him, reserve a ticket, because HE bloody won't!!!!!!

PS. Real people in my real life keep talking about Yahtzee and his videos and it's pissing me off. I want to buy the cunt a pint.

Christ, I actually can't tell if you love him or hate him.

I like the idea though. Don't really know how to help, but if its remotely legal, I suppose I'll give it a go.

Don't count on me for that. I've switched sides.

Edit: I'd love to attend, BTW. There are people there that I know.

Wow this sounds fantastic m0ds. I'll definitely sling Yahtzee an email or ten demanding to know why he demands to not attend, in a demanding fashion.

So you're just going to stalk and bugger him about that? When you already know full well why he wouldn't want to attend?

  • You're creepy
  • The event hasn't gathered any kind of considerable fame yet
  • It's time consuming
  • It costs a bunch to travel from Australia to Britain
  • He's already on a busy schedule
  • He pretty much already cut what little was left of his ties to the indy crowd and his original fans
  • He can't be bothered
  • He's supposed to address the public about STUFF
  • Yes.
  • Uh~huh
  • Totally seeing that happen

Don't discourage the boy!
"I felt insulted until I realized that the people trying to mock me were the same intellectual titans who claimed that people would be thrown out of skyscrapers and feudalism would be re-institutionalized if service cartels don't keep getting political favors and regulations are cut down to only a few thousand pages worth, that being able to take a walk in the park is worth driving your nation's economy into the ground, that sexual orientation is a choice that can be changed at a whim, that problems caused by having institutions can be solved by introducing more institutions or strengthening the existing ones that are causing the problems, and many more profound pearls of wisdom. I no longer feel insulted because I now feel grateful for being alive and witnessing such deep conclusions from my fellows."
-Jimmy McTavern, 1938.

Because it's not fair on the rest of us if he points out all the reasons why it's not going to happen, and doesn't leave any reality insertion for others.

Just let him try by jove, what's the worst that could happen?

Y-man takes out a restraining order against him and he's banned from breathing air from the y-man that hasn't gone through at least 27 other people?

Err... you know that m0ds is the guy who did the music for a bunch of yahtzee's games, right?

Anyways, I agree that he'll probably not wanna go given his semi-severed ties to the AGS community, but maybe try bugging the Game Damage twitter account, and maybe it'll get to him that way?

I assure you we had absolutely no idea.

I thought Yug ran the Twitter account?

Don't call him 'Y-man'. That's incredibly lame.
