lmao, I loved the game!

It is indeed one of the greatest games I've ever played. If anyone's seriously thinking about playing this game, watching these vids might ruin it for them. But if not, or if you've finished the game before, it's just great to watch. The plot, the jokes, it's brilliance in the purest form, and yet nothing is sacred.

Wow, what a flashback! I still have this game but alas, I never was able to complete this fantastic click-and-point adventure game. I'll skip the videos for now. :-)

But day of the tentacle was indeed one of the grandeur of classics from lucasarts. I have the agree that the jokes, writing, and the twist and turns really made this a polished game.

I don't know if you played any other classics from lucasarts including Monkey Island, Full Throttle, the Dig, or even Sam and Max: Hit the Road? (my personal favorite because of the wise-cracking duo)

Yeah, I've played Sam and Max. It is truly brilliant. I only had demos of the other games, though.
Discworld, that's another one. Never finished that one, damn hard.
I'm looking into making my own point and click adventure with a few coders and animators, I'd just love the feeling of creating a similar feeling as those games did way back when. It's a bit of a drag waiting for this style to make a comeback...

"It's a bit of a drag waiting for this style to make a comeback..."

Completely agreed though there has been few implications including the new Sam and Max adventures. In fact, here on Newgrounds, there are a few promising minds that take on this style with their own creative imagination. I found Rheemas to be one of them. Perhaps after the storyboard collaboration led by Renaenae; there might exist a possible collab for a point-click adventure game. Well, good luck with your endeavors.

Yeah, I think the adventures of reemus games are great, although there's some key elements that I'd love to see that are unfortunately missing, the inventory being one, you pretty much have your objects, and you use them right away, rather than needing to accumulate trinkets throughout, and the other is the free roaming locations. Prawn to be wild was up on both these points, however, the chapter by chapter storyline, starting fresh with each chapter dampened my spirits a little. That's the sort of thing I'd look into improving on other point and click games, and with the people and resources here on Newgrounds, what better place do I have to start from?

Thanks. :)

the sheer number of videos crashed my browser :P (seriously! it did!)

under, a sky no longer blue
we Sweat, all day long for you..."

my general area (much of 3 states) was only just starting to recover from a major ice storm when suddenly WHAM! we get hit by about 8 inches (12.32cm) of snow, I dunno, maybe I'll get another week off from school (I hope not, I'm starting to forget stuff for my test)

1- Lol

2- Rise Against, the song is.... ...Drones? It's definitely from Sufferer and the Witness, that's for sure.

3- I'm oblivious to snow... never seen it, never had school off because of it.
