I'm looking for the title and author of a short story that I think was in Esquire Magazine. I remember reading it in a collection of short stories from Esquire Magazine, but googling doesn't seem to help in this case.
What I can remember of it is that it was about a man at the train station, waiting for something, and he just sat there and sat there and sat there, and I think it ended with him saying "I am paralysed" or something like that.

Its very vague, I know, but hopefully someone will recognise it?

The one I have has acsetup.cfg and untitled.agr modified on 31/1/2006, but META.exe and winsetup.exe modified on 1/1/2006 (Date created is just now, because I just unzipped it, and date created on the archive is from when I copied over my old files). Do you remember there being any changes to the game between the time you released it and the build you have?

I found baraag, but I must admit it's the first time I have seen it used.

I don't think "baraag" is used for elephant noises in english at all. Quite a few of those from your link seem quite wrong as well: Baa for sheep but Naa for a goat? Clang for a crane and grumph for a camel?

I don't know what the onomatopoeic expression for the noise an elephant makes would be, and I suspect there isn't one, but if I am not mistaken, an elephant trumpets?

You can make whatever you want, the content you create can't really be regulated by the creator of AGS (or anyone, really).

I've been trying to hunt down the reason, but I've often noticed that threads I clicked on still show up as new. I've just not figured out why, as I can't reproduce it consistently. Possibly has something to do with my constant new-tab opening each forum page.

Happy birthday, m0dulatorzz!

Happy SSHDay, wherever you are!

Nope, you're right, it happens with me too.

I always thought of Pick of the Month as a sort of showcase of cool games you might've missed when they came out, or that may have slipped through the cracks, so I don't see why The Bunker should be too old to be acceptable.
In the same vein, a pretty short game that I'd suggest: Captain Cringe

You're too late, Adeel, you already missed it. Maybe you can get one next year

Hmmmm....Robert Graves wrote many poems about his experiences in the First World War. Not sure how much more serious you can get than that.

I guess that would be one way to search out stuff you're interested in. Google things like '"World War two" poet' or '"Cold war" poet', specific to the subject.

Don't worry, you didn't. Technically, there's still about 12 hours to go before the 24 hours period following the time of my birth elapses.

Thanks for the wishes, everyone!

I haven't changed any of my firefox settings, and so far it seems only AGS is like this, but the text in the forum list and topic list seems to have bloated up. The forum names and topic starters seem to be the same size, but the topic names and Replies/Views have increased in size. Is it just me?

Happy Pumaday, everyone!
(also happy birthday vwug)

I could be anal and ask you to be more exact (Protostar: War on the Frontier), but yeah, you're right, festilligamble!

It wasn't a super-amazing game or anything, but I'm surprised the resident experts didn't know about it . Was an okay enough first person space exploration trading/fighting (and a small bit of adventure RPG) type sim in the vein of the Star Control series.

Space is not part of the title. I suppose in the form of a hint, I could say that the title DOES involve a...spacey thing?
I wasn't expecting this one to be so hard.

And no. Not Purple Saturn Day (was surprised that such a game name actually existed )

None of those. But...I guess you caught on that it involved space?

I spent many weeks on that game. Was great fun. Castle of the Winds!
The author released the game for free later, so while it may be a bit of a problem getting it to run on modern computers, I'd still recommend you try it out:

Since there's not really much probability that I'm wrong, here is my screenshot. A bit easy, but I'm in a hurry:

Thanks!
