  • Thanks. Toned down: Yes and no. The vast majority is identical: lines, language, etc. The main difference is with censor bars for frontal groinal nudity. US has the bars, [i]some[/i] European versions don't. Note that all versions "go topless…
  • Yes: LSL:MCL is PS2, Xbox, and PC. It's all basically the same game. We made as few changes as possible for the different platforms. The PC has a "launcher", and keyboard and resolution config utility, etc. but once "Larry.exe" runs it is basical…
  • ShadowBoxer: How do you spell "krikey!" I need it for some localized error messages. Like [i]"Krikey! D3D device lost!"[/i] or [i]"G'Day, please hit start to continue."[/i] :D (Yes, I am flicking your ear...) :shadow1:
  • Yes, [b][i]pain[/i][/b] is definitely a word I would use when describing InstallShield....
  • Trivia fact: It was release candidate 3 (RC3), the 24 August 2004 submission to CPC. (Based upon the 17 August 2004 build of Larry.exe, optimized release) Yes, I have spent way too much time lately swimming in build numbers, bug counts, certif…
  • Ugh! You [i]literally[/i] must have been typing this while I was crafting my announcement... I'll get you for this! (kidding) ;)
  • Except that they always find one more little thing to fix (usually in the installer) and the 72 hour clock restarts... (I speak from experience)
  • I still don't know where it is... I cracked it in NH and you know where things end up when you move: the same place as all the single socks from your dryer. :rolleyes: [i]someone made a killing[/i] Yep, "someone" sure did.
  • FO ;) These are more news-like than forums, but what the heck... people can and do have message board-like discussions in the story comments. [url]www.slashdot.org[/url] (news for nerds, stuff that matters) [url]www.plastic.com[/url] (/. -li…
  • Everyone will be much happier if they spend the time to iron out bugs, distribution issues, compatibility problems, etc. etc. etc. before they "go live". As has been stated, it is a gift; we owe them only "thank you"'s, not "hurry up"'s. It's not…
  • I cracked the glass on mine. :( ... but it is still floating around the house someplace.
  • ...and only one with Maha in his immediate family. :shadow1: I wonder how many of those watches he has left... ;)
  • What sharp little eyes you have! "The ultimate..." ;) Hopefully their luck is better than ours. :shadow1: [B][COLOR=red]Good luck, IFH team![/COLOR] [/B]
  • I must admit to surprise :shadow1: I wonder if there is an N'Grath (cough, Jack, cough) If they wanted any Kosh results, there need to me more answers like: "If killing your best friend would make you immortal, would you do it?" a: "I wo…
  • Seriously, if there's a torrent I'm sure many of us (myself included) would be happy to keep a window open for the cause... :shadow1:
  • So what's the deal with the various P2P softwares. Which are not loaded with spy/add-ware? Frankly, I am damn afraid to install anything on one of my systems created and deployed by folks already operating in a "grey" legal state. Kazaa seems…
  • Duuuude! Hey Marc! First, a new link: [url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/leisuresuitlarrymcl/preview_6078289.html]Larry on Gamespot[/url] Look closely at the first screen shot... "I am not saying this. I am not here." Yeah, it's bi…
  • My biggest complaint with Gentoo is the egos involved. That is not a bash of the distro, just a reminder that people need to remember their humility, even when faced with the greatest of all challenges... success. CurZ: Are you happy with Gentoo…

  • Sorry, not me. Neither is [b][url=http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/digital-imprimatur/]Digital Imprimatur[/url][/b], although I think it is an excellent (though much too long) article. John Walker is an annoyingly common name. If you google …
  • I agree. I have been registered with Gamasutra since like '97, and the amount of spam I get from them is trivial. You do have a free email that you give out to places where you are worried about spam, right? Use that one.

  • I'm glad you all still remember it as something neato. The AI design was a group effort; with everyone on the team's influence (yes, even the artists' :D ). Dan, Dave, Nicolas, and Jeff were especially large contributors to the design. Maybe…
  • Thanks. Please don't worry about hurt feelings; any criticism of the game here or elsewhere won't ruffle my feathers. As long as the code is solid, I've done my job. ...but don't event [i][b]think[/b][/i] about disin' ItF! ;) "No commen…
  • The platforms aren't officially announced, and I would get in trouble for saying which ones we have working. :( The other sites can do a better job of both what our customer and our producer/designers are saying publically than I can, so your be…
  • Yeah Jack, I would have liked that too; but Oakhurst is a lot nicer than Chicago. A lot. A whole lot. (really) ...and as you know, the game biz. is a harsh mistress. The new LSL game is definitely not an old-school 2d adventure game, good o…
  • Two reasons I can think of right off: 1) [b]Most movie based games are based upon 'good' movies.[/b] Only two kinds of movies are made into games; very popular movies (considered to be already 'good' to the unwashed masses) and movies which provi…
  • Thanks. Yeah, it's nice to have a job. I am a programmer on the game, like I was for ItF. I am working on the AI some; but mostly doing game play, tools, controller stuff, architecture, and low-level error tracking, logging, etc. I am also a …
  • Thanks for the well-wishes. Sierra link with screenshots: [url]http://www.sierra.com/product.do?gamePlatformId=607[/url] There is a button for a trailer on that page also... :shadow1:
  • Yes, get the nVidia drivers from their site... [url]http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-4496[/url] Follow the directions. It worked right out of the box for me.
