Re: Discuss your fears about the new game

I had no idea Kevin Jones had passed away. That hurts.

I was a big fan and really loved the Mac Malden Character.

Incidentally, I believe Kevin Jones played Mason Powers in that early Access game "Countdown."

I'm saddened by this.

Re: Discuss your fears about the new game

It's already been addressed by Chris Jones, but my main fear is that the game will be too short. I remember blowing through Martian Memorandum twenty years ago in about 2 days and just feeling terrible that it had ended so fast. I hope the game isn't artificially lengthened with too many Myst style ...

Re: Gone Home

Oh, please. An awful game was injected with a provocative theme (same sex romance) with the hope that its limitations would be ignored. And so far, it seems to have been a good move because any criticism of the game is countered with finger pointing and implications of homophobia (which is EXACTLY w...

Re: Gone Home

Yeah, and what ticks me off about the "game" is that it's being advertised as this BIG mystery. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's a joke, and the reason no one wants to call out the publishers on this is because of it's "sensitive" subject matter. If they'd called it ...

Re: Gone Home

This game has been getting rave reviews so I checked it out. Wow. What a disappointment. It's a slideshow, folks. You'll figure out what going on fairly quickly. If you read between the lines, most reviews talk about a powerful "poignant story' etc. I don't want to ruin it for anybody who wants...

Re: Jim the old guy still here?

Word on the street is that "Jim" isn't his first name.

Re: Jim the old guy still here?

I heard a rumor that Jim the Old Guy isn't even that old.

Re: Tesla Effect Trailer

One question: where the hell is Delorus Lightbody?

I'm going to hold off on my disappointment and hope that she's in the next trailer.

Re: Rest in Peace - A Thread for People Who Have Passed Away

Richard Matheson was a literary giant, no doubt and I'm saddened by how little attention his passing has gotten.

Look him up if you are not aware of him. He was extremely influential. Novels, TV shows (Kolchak: Night Stalker) Twilight Zone episodes. It just goes on and on.

Amazing man.

Re: My case in San Francisco. (Unknown FMV-game)

Thanks for reminding me about this game. Totally forgot it existed.

Re: What is some of your favorite noir stuff? & Max Payne fa

Tex Murphy pretty much got me interested in all things Noir at a very young age. I've read and re-read Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe novels. Mickey Spillane was fantastic. Pick up some of his Mike Hammer novels like "My Gun is Quick" and "I, the Jury." These are the ORIGINAL...

Re: Your most hated main enemy in Tex games?

Cross no doubt. The guy is like the Hans Gruber of the Tex Murphy games.

Just wondering ...

How many of you guys have been with Tex from the very beginning, I'm talking Mean Streets here in '89? Except, for Overseer (I couldn't afford a PC that ran the game at the time of its release) I bought every Tex game the first week they came out. I think Mean Streets is a sorely underrated game, an...

Re: Coffee with Adrian

I felt thoroughly depressed after watching the last Indiana Jones movie. I could barely get through it a second time. I read an online review (where I can't remember) of The Crystal Skull brilliantly stating that the movie felt like a really, really rich guy had decided to make his own Indiana Jones...
