I heard about this. I like Grim Fandango much better, mainly because all of these apparent non sequitur titles hold a more profound meaning....  [Read More]

Greetings Viva Limones!; as I've said many times, we are a small community, but we are slowly growing by the many that are beginning to join. If you live in the United States, and only in the US of A (LucasArts sons of bitches), you might be able t...  [Read More]

Easier said than done ;). The only reason I put that picture of Manny there is because it was from an image where he was on a black background, so it was easy to cut him out. I was planning on putting a different image from in-game there, but I could...  [Read More]

Well, I can't tell what exactly conscience is, but I'm fairly sure you notice it when feel it's pangs. It's considered good to feel profound remorse after doing something offensive, so that you wouldn't repeat that. It has more to do with human moral...  [Read More]

Me too - what? Don't have any evident amount of conscience? That's a very common trait of personality, you now. At least a lot of people claim so. Conscience is a relative thing (and potentially obnoxious, if present). It is just the result of our p...  [Read More]

So, you did solve the whole game solely by yourself? I take off my head to you, then. Nah, you got me there. I kept reading the manual, which contained a solution to the first puzzle; and checked strategy guides for a part of El Marrow and the whole...  [Read More]

That's news to me. In all forums I've participated, the overwhelming majority of users were women. Perhaps that was by pure accident. I guess it depends on the kind of forum you frequent. I have only been in two forums, and I think the rule applies...  [Read More]

Whom do you associate yourself with? I guess I am a mixture between Celso and the beatniks at the Blue Casket. At this point, answerin to Naomi's question, I'd say that Manny's da man !! He just rocks; always so depressed but at the same time very...  [Read More]

As for GF, I would have never ended it without help. My father solved El Marrow's tube-transfer, I looked up Rubacava's photo puzzle (kitty-track tickets) and End of the World's crane in the Internet. Maybe something else, I don't really remember. I...  [Read More]

Same here. I don't like Point and click inetrfaces taht much. For instance, Sam and Max's one was quite confusing for a newbie like me. However, on keyboard controlled games like GF, it gets a bit difficult to control. These shouldn't go separately,...  [Read More]

Welcome, Charie & evulkhuul. I've already said it to another new member, but I'll say it to you too. Stick around these forums for a while and the regulars will soon turn you into an anti-sequel person. You still resented for that? ;) If Lucas...  [Read More]

0.0 Where did you get that idea from?? For you're right, at least partially. What I love most is the Mayan style in GF, which begins and ends the story. They, in a way, go together, in my view. The DOD location, however, is much more colourful and va...  [Read More]

To others it must have been obvious from the beginning, but I'm a little slow. Now, don't say that; this game might get too confusing when discussed. Aren't plot hole and plot mistake basically the same thing? Practically. An example of a plot h...  [Read More]

Why blindfolded? You are free to look around and to talk with everybody. It came out wrong, it was supposed to be 'blindfolded, for you not to know where you had been taken, and then left alone with your sight un-obstructed' And you would probably ne...  [Read More]

@El Virus, so, your point is that we shouldn't worry about the minor details? That's probably true. But do you think Tim Schafer just ignored them, rather than have them all worked out somehow? I don't think I really want to believe that. No, not at...  [Read More]
