Best news I've heard all day!  :cool:

As soon as I cash my latest paycheck, I'll finally get around to ordering a copy. (I'm such a procrastinator.  :P )

Quote from: "GameDevBrit"Perpahs I can find a photo on google and perform a nice Photoshop job on it, superimposing my head on some other tourist's body :D

That's the best way to travel! Do some Photoshop work, look up some tour site info on Wikipedia...you can take a whole vacation from the comfort of your home computer!  :P

I've been lurking here for a bit, and I decided to finally register and post.

First, just a little bit about myself. My name is David, or Dave, or doggans, or That Babbling Idiot, or whatever you choose to call me. I'll answer to just about anything. I'm in college, an amateur filmmaker/actor/voice actor/comedy writer/guy with too many hobbies. I've always loved adventure games, and have many childhood memories of getting up early in the morning trying to get past the latest King's Quest puzzle I was stuck on. (Heck, when the Brothers Chaps at Homestar Runner released their Peasant's Quest parody two years back, I felt like a kid again.)

I came across the AGDI KQ remakes a while back. I was entertained with KQ1, and I enjoyed how it updated the "official" remake with better graphics and sounds. Then, like so many others, I was absolutely blown away by KQ2. I loved just about everything about it, from the graphics to the voice acting (hearing Josh Mandel as Graham again in both of the remakes was a real treat), but what I loved most of all was the way it was set up to surprise players of the original, with Macguffins (the wooden stake, etc) that ended up being used in completely unexpected ways. Plus, the flash-forward sequence gave me a better appreciation of Mask of Eternity.  :P

So after playing the games, I decided to poke around the site some more, and discovered the link to Himalaya Studios. I looked at the site and checked back every once in a while to see if there were any updates. When the demo for Al Emmo was released, I played it, and loved every second of it. The graphics were wonderful, the voice acting top-notch, the humor very clever and entertaining, and the gameplay was just plain fun. I knew I would enjoy it as soon as I started playing, especially when one of the first things I found in the game was an Easter Egg, and a parody song at that!

So, now that I've rambled on for probably a bit too long, I'll summarize: I love your games, and eagerly anticipate the release of the full version of Al Emmo, which I'll preorder as soon as I have a bit more money.

And, uh, most likely all my future posts will be a bit shorter than this one. ;)
