[Bludshot]

I'm not sure I've even played 20 adventure games, and if I have most of those don't deserve to be on a list of praise.

I may have the time after all--I just got laid off today! (Who am I kidding, that just means more time to work on Cognition!)

You really like Conquests of Camelot, don't you?

Sorry you got laid off.  That's gotta be rough.  I hope things get better.  Hey! Maybe you can do a Let's Play of TSL now!   It's the closest to Director Commentary we'll end up getting, so I have to try.

Sorry. The 40 hours a week Katie just recovered from getting laid off, just vanished with Cognition

[drusain]

How can TSL not be on your lists?!

I haven't played 20 adventure games. I sorta went RPG when I first played Earthbound

[MusicallyInspired]

I feel like I made one of these recently within 6 months or so. Can't remember now. I'll have to think about it and get back to you...lol lots of adventures.

I'm with Dru on this one.  I don't know if I've played an 'entire' 20 adventure games.  I've got a long ToDo list of adventure games that I've bought (plus a bunch of fangames) that I'll get to once I finish replaying some of my RPGs.

Sorry to hear that. It must be rough, but hopefully it's a blessing in disguise. Best wishes with Cognition, and your future endeavors.

Thanks for the well wishes folks I do indeed choose to see it as a good thing and great opportunity.

Also, a directors LP of TSL once it's all done WOULD be kinda awesome....maybe we will do it!

Yeah behind-the-scenes director's commentary would be cool (you know, like movie DVD commentaries). You could show us how we were supposed to get into the kitchen because I'll tell you, I spent like 2 hours trying to get in.
