Linus Bruckman was an OREM game.  (That's One Room Eight Months for you philistines.)

I fell asleep last night listening to the podcast and had visions of Ben304s and Grudislavs dancing in my head.

Good job, but... NEED MOOOOooooore!

Finally listened and I must say, you have gotten further than anyone else at solving the ARG that I started in the early nineties.  Well done.

I have some splainin' to do!  I actually picked the name when a ghost named Señor Morales visited me in my sleep.

And wow, so I'm like live blogging this here: You're still talking about me?  I can neither confirm nor deny any rumors about Felicia Day licking my bald head.

I have succeeded at enjoying yet another BlueCupToolsâ,,¢ Podcast.  I succeed at everything!

I'd like to host another Chain Story if there would be enough interest.  It's been about 2 years since the last one!  They always turn out pretty funny!

Some of the past chain stories:

Another masterful episode.  Now I finally know how to import sprites into AGS.

Sorry about that. I should've added waaaay more smileys to my last post. (unlike Tabata, I really don't like smileys! <- )
I hope, I didn't come across the wrong way or tick you off or something along those lines!

Oh, god no.  I've joked about how often I ummm and uhhh in interviews many times.  Maybe it is I who needs more smileys.

No tutorials that did much for me, but I might make one myself one of these days!

[Coding:]

I wasn't kidding about the FPS!  It will be the best game of 2018.

I don't know why I didn't ummm so much.  Maybe because I was laughing so much.  Out of all the podcasts I've done over the last couple weeks, this one is the only one that makes zero attempt to be professional, which makes it hilarious and easy going.

Anian's right, I could have given some tips!  I AM FASCINATING AND INFORMATIVE! Here's two for you, Anian:

Coding: repeatedly_execute_always is your friend for making crazy stuff.  Don't worry about it slowing down the game.  Resonance has thousands of lines of code jammed in there!

Art: Particle Illusion 3.0 (Available here) Was used to make almost all the special effect graphics in the game.  Fire, smoke, birds flying, sparks, explosions.  It's awesome, and I figured out a pretty good pipeline for using it in conjunction with AGS.

Writing: Do it in the shower!  But not on your computer, that's dangerous.  Use your noodle!  Not that one!

Yay!  I offer myself up to be a guest at some point!  I AM FASCINATING!

Edit: I love The Dig.  I haven't played it for probably ten years because it will almost certainly ruin it for me.

Ooh, thanks errbody!  And happy birthdays to all the others I share it with!

Sounds like flow: http://interactive.usc.edu/projects/cloud/flowing/

Now that's how you spend a birthday!  Happy belated birthday and rock on fellow fan of naming girls in games "Anna."

[Tzachs!]

For some reason, when I read your name, in my head I say it in a loud whisper and accompany it with jazz hands.

So, happy birthday to

  Tzachs!

(Phew, I think that's all correct...)

I done been married for five years!  :o

Took a family photo.

Monkey, you're awesome!  That just cracked up my wife and daughter!

It starts when they're really young and just becomes the natural thing to do in a picture.  Here's my daughter at less-than-two-ish:



There was a period where before taking a picture, she would try really hard to make peace signs, but be unable, so we have lots of pictures of not-quite-peace-signs.







Eventually, she gets there.



And when you live there long enough... you just can't help it...



Edit: Sorry, I jump at any chance to show off how cute my kid is.
