I haven't played any other than Grim game by LucasArts, and... Outlaws are by them? I have some music from the game which I like very much. The music of that game is excellent, only the ones of Grim Fandango and The Dig can compare to it (I must adm...  [Read More]

Well, since this forum was lacking one, I thought I might as well start it. Just post whatever short story you like, something you have read recently, or just something you've written by yourself. I'll start with a short story by one of my favourite...  [Read More]

I'm leaning towards no. Grim Fandango has always been about connecting to the characters, feeling the satisfaction of completing it, and exploring the world. If a film did it, then well, you wouldn't be exploring the world. I also don't see a big mar...  [Read More]

besides, what does 'Don' mean? Is it a name or a title? Title. In classic Spanish it is the equivalent to "Sir" in British English; reserved for people of high status. Nowadays the word 'Don', at least in my country, has lost significanc...  [Read More]

Greetings, it's great to be having so many new members lately. Well, as you mentioned, being Hector's friend (or ally, in his case) would be a great help. For the way in which Manny says it, I'm sure it has to do with an undeserved promotion. My g...  [Read More]

I actually don't know any Spanish -- partially why I'm making this thing -- actually, all that needs to be done is to read in sentences in English. In terms of 3D art and all that, it uses all that stuff from the game. How is it possible to make a l...  [Read More]

Obviously the music is an absolutely core part of the game. Does someone have information about specific jazz composers/artists/performers the music is inspired by? I did download the soundtrack, and have listened to it a few times. I guess what I'm...  [Read More]

The problem with free versions is that they are sort of "if you want more, pay" stuff, where you are entirely limited. Some time ago I was working with this music composer/MIDI converter, and could only record up to five seconds (the song I...  [Read More]

She. Oh, I tend to mess those things up. It's just that it is not a common name (Oh right, Rei Ayanami :p it all becomes clearer now). If only I've had fun; your New Year sounds much more enticing to me. I would have been much happier if I didn't...  [Read More]
