    Stuck in Heist 4: Unknown Building.

    How the hell do you do the brainwashing resistance thing? I hit Z as fast as I can but it barely makes any difference to the reddening picture of Trilby.

    For someone who bemoans these stupid sequences in other games, it's pretty lame for Yahtzee to stick one in his own. Is this some form of lame ironic humour? There should be a way around it if it is.
  2. In Topic: Best XDAS game

    Well, I'm in the minority, but I said 6 Days, just because the ending was so chilling, and also for that awesome, awesome descending scene with Somerset. That scene blew my socks off, and much of the credit for that goes to m0ds for the awesome Descent theme.

    Having played the Special Editions of the four games now, I understand the story much better and appreciate it more.
  3. In Topic: So what is the OFFICIAL official name of the whole series?

    Trilby doesn't have a real name. Why would Yahtzee go through the trouble of giving him a traditional name just so he could never tell anyone what it is?

    Exactly. The idea that knowing Trilby's mundane real name could be better than it being a mystery is foolish. There are some things you deliberately don't explicitly tell the audience, because it makes for a better story.

    These are the people who ask, "but what was in the briefcase" after watching Pulp Fiction, or "what did the guy say?" after seeing the video clip for Radiohead's 'Just'. Some people have no grasp of storytelling technique.
  4. In Topic: An old American sitcom.

    Posted 15 Feb 2007

    Things may have been different in that era. We're more cynical about such stuff now.

    Either way, Futurama did an awesome parody of M*A*S*H, with the robot version of Hawkeye who had the little switch on his side that went from "irreverent" to "maudlin".
  5. In Topic: Familiar?

    Then again, I don't know in which way, if any, your backgrounds are copyrighted.

    Unless there's some kind of truly evil and insane licencing scam going on with AGS, the copyright for the entire work and everything therein belongs automatically to Yahtzee, by virtue of his having created it.

    Every creative work a person does is automatically the intellectual property of that person unless copyright is specifically given to another party. Note that many software companies, etc. put clauses in their programmers' contracts to ensure that the code the programmer produces as part of their employment is the intellectual property of the company. This is so people can't just join the company, write some code that becomes and integral part of the company's software, and then hold the company to ransom with the rights.
