I would also argue that people (here, certainly) are far from bored with the games and are enticed by the possibility of a future action/adventure hybrid Tex game that is being hinted at as a possible future game from Indie Built.
But even if no more games are made - although I doubt it given the TM team's tenacity - the games we have are more than enough to generate daily Tex-oriented posts on this forum. I would compare it to the community dedicated to preserving and discussing the old Sierra games: http://queststudios.com/quest/Sierra1.html albeit a smaller version therof.

We're a community. A family in a way. Sometimes we bicker - that's pretty normal. We don't always agree with each other's point of view, but we tend to like and have a mutual respect for each other.
Tex games brought us here, but here we found good company and we've hung about ever since. Even if there's no Tex game ever again I'll still post here.

Okay, the moderator says it is about everything including cheeseburger goulash recipies, but I assumed the guy meant withing the confines of the Tex Murphy world. If there are no news about the future of TM or if people are bored with the existing games, books, etc, then maybe it is time we all went home.
Still trying to figure out how the post about the "equality lark", even reading it as humor, has anything to do with Tex. Did you change your mind between those two posts?

thesdons00, it wasn't just your comment in particular... (not sure if thats what you meant but your wording sounded as if you were taking it personally)
Well, its not just about the games, its about the community that came off the games too. We all came here for one reason (Tex Murphy) but we stay because of many. What Aaron etc. made was a wonderful creation and the community it in turn created is something to enjoy too.
Yeah there's no news, but chill out with some good people here and maybe the time will go by quicker to there is news.
As for being bored of the games/books etc. - certainly not. And whenever someone has something enw to bring to the table about them we all join in readily.
You don't have to stay if you don't feel there is a point but you're welcome back anytime...

As "the guy" in question, let me say that the subject matter of this board was never intended to be limited to just Tex-related topics. This board has always been a place for those with a common interest (the Tex games) to come and talk about whatever happens to float their boat.thesdons00 wrote:This is supposed to be a Board about Tex Murphy.

That being said, we all have a responsibility as members of this board to employ a certain degree of tact and forethought before posting about potentially incendiary topics. I admit to being guilty of breaking that rule myself, at times, and I've always felt bad about it afterward. It's a testament to the community we all share that our flare-ups don't turn into flame wars... usually.
Noogie properly administered and hug received and returned. Love you too Jen 
Well, if nothing else, a bit o' controversy may show eachother here the differences in us. But then we remember why we're here, and that unites us. We're on this train together, and the more we're here in our company, the more we learn about that company. And while maybe not all of it is positive and happy, it's all chalked up to experience, isn't it?
What I am trying to say is this - we get to know eachother better and better, for better or worse.
And, as Jim coined it, this brotherhood of ours, it's ties are strong enough to support us for who we are. I've seen it, over and over.
