I'm stuck at the lift bit after the stairs collapse. I chuck a grenade to flick the switch and then the elevator comes down, get in, ride the elevator up, it shudders (sounds like cable breaks) then falls and I die. I can't seem to escape the elevator or anything. What have I missed / done...

Sorry couldn't help it, it's like Double Fine is family. Except not really. It's really quite good by the way.

Like your posts? And not like Psychonauts? I feel kinda bad about insulting people just for not liking Psychonauts but on the other hand it is Psychonauts and people have done far worse for far stupider reasons.

Actually, there is a precedent in popular culture for writing it that way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiseguy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_wiseguys http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_of_the_Wiseguy

Go to their website, the news poster made the grammatical mistake, not the mod.

The voice over really helps sell the gameplay. Nice work, Matt and the rest of the Samurai Legends team!

The commander test looks promising.

Of course once you got to the surface.... Both games feature repeately changing goals rather than always knowing I have to do x or I'll probably have to do x. I can't remember them all for Half Life but for Half Life 2 for me they were: I never felt goal-less in either Half Life...

Aren't crows and ravens traditionally symbols for death?

Yeah, I think that's where it comes from because in some of his interviews, Marc Laidlaw mentions Lovecraft as one of his many inspirations and influences. The whole point I think of this part of Breen's speech is partly his attempt to bring Eli on side by appealing to him as a Scientist...

I think you could still get away with a comedic pirate mod, maybe even cartoonish in a similar style to MI(Well not too similar). Rather than just taking influence from Monkey Island there are plenty of other places to take influence for example Johnny Depp's character in Pirates of the...
