I guess that’s the problem with humour when people don’t know you. Knowing Nige, I just could never imagine him to be malicious or mercenary. A razor wit, definitely, but not nasty (ironically).

Yeah, no worries. The conference was indeed thoroughly enjoyable.

Hey Nigel,

Sorry you missed out on the upgrade, and apologies for the confusion. Thank you for explaining what you really meant at the time… I’m sure this means you end up with positive karma in the end.

Otherwise - I hope you enjoyed the conference!

cheers

Yeah, both Grim Fandango and MI4 use the GRIME engine, which isn’t supported in scummvm. There is, however, an effort trying to create an equivalent cross-platform engine so that us *NIXers get to travel with Manny again.

@Jeremy: Actually, they weren’t. Many people bashed Full Throttle when it was released, that it is too short and not holding up to the standards of the old adventure games.

Beautiful stuff. The Monkey Island series are wonderful time wasters.

Sri, Isn’t Grim Fandango 3D as well?

Oh man. I play that a lot on my N800. I have all of them Monkey Island 1, Monkey Island 2, and Monkey Island 3. Monkey Island 4 doesn’t work because it is 3D.

I have yet to try Grim Fandango which is one of the best adventure games I have ever played.

Talk of the devil. Yesterday, I got out Full Throttle for the first time in a few years (ran it in ScummVM). Games back then were absolutely gold.

I agree with you.

Um… i’m not a coder, but i’m taking some action in order to have the mouse scroll direction as a preference.

Man you just ruined my day. I just hate Flash apps stealing my scroll events so much that I want to cry.

Another scroll nightmare is when you edit an embedded text box with lots of text. Fx. MoinMoin wiki or composing a mail in GMail. When I scroll to the bottom of the text field the “scroll focus” jumps to the entire web page and I end up scrolling the text entry out of sight!

Bargh! You ruined my day
