I just picked up The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango today! I've never played either, and I know that I'll be admonished by my fellow adventure game lovers for never having doing so. But, I'm rectifying this now! Rejoice with me as I play to, new found to me, classics.

Oh, and I'll post here if I get stuck, as I'm sure I can get some help from you all

Well, i'll just tell you, The Longest Journey is by no means false advertising. That game was huge!

Some fiendish puzzles in it too, but not nearly as fiendish as i found Grim Fandango when it first came out (of course, i was 16 then).

Good games both.

Is the sequel to the Longest Journey, Dreamfall, still coming out this spring?

I had a dream that it fell, so I don't think so.

Ooohh! I gotta get a life!

Lol @ Jim!

Actually, you might find it funny to know that a little while back in my local PC game store the guy behind the counter said something similar to me: "Man, I gotta get a life"... I replied, not really thinking straight: "You already have one; it’s just not terribly good".

He failed to find the humour, but I cracked me up!

Yes it is. Second quarter some time.

Ragnar is keeping busy directing the voice recordings, and I believe the programmers have most of the game finished enough to start concentrating on bugs, tweaking gameplay etc.

Say, do you know them? Sounds like you are on a first-name basis with Ragnar Tornquist!

Naah. I just read his blog. I try to keep updated on what he is doing, as well as Revolution and Steve Ince.

Hey Cub!

Hey Jim! Hey Cub! Hey Heinz! Hey Jerry Dan! Hey AV!

Are we playing the "Hey" game? It's one of my favorites.

Hey litlkeck, I don't know.




I've not played Longest Journey either I guess I should (need to find it first hehe)

I played up to a certain point in Grim Fandango and then got stuck and never finished it. But I recently bought it again new/sealed from a seller on Amazon so I'll probably try soon... when I get time (don't have much of that elusive thing called time lately)

Going back up to an earlier comment, I had a funny variation.

Working at Wizards of the Coast (a game store), a woman comes up with an armful of puzzles, cards, chess set, etc.
Asked if she needed anything else, she said distractedly, "I gotta get a Clue", as she walked back over to the family game shelves.

All of us at the counter started busting out laughing, after staring oddly for a second, she realized what she had said. She then of course joked that we needed to get a Life. Alas, we were out of stock.

Christmas in retail... wow, I sure don't miss it!!!!
