I could be winner in that contest - this name is definitely of Polish origin and we, Poles, know how to spell such names.

You should post more often!
Well, what could it be and why does dimi know about it. That leaves only one conclusion...

You forgot to add..."only to cancel it within the hour claiming that annoncing an adventure game on an adventure game magazine is unprofitable"

I think it might be about The Inventory's upcoming game. But it could be something about The Inventory itself, like, it's available in print form now or something like that.
Btw, why is anybody talking about Telltale? Did I miss something?

Telltale games was set up by ex-Lucasarts employees to make adventure games. Includes people who worked on Sam and Max, Grim Fandango and Escape from MI.

That's been the biggest surprise for me tonight.

Must admit just scanned the story, but it looks superb. A throw back to the old days of Lucasarts with a similar inventory system to the MI3 one.
Ah now I read abit more they do admit to the CMI similarities which is cool
Looking forward to this one. Just jumped to No1 in my must play list.
p.s the Sam and Max fan game looked naff. Ducas industries :

I haven't looked at the article yet, I'm reading the interviews right now (no-action jackson and still life).
So mad that Still Life doesn't use the same voice actors...especially Gus' one, he did such a great job.
er...back on topic. Is it going to be a commerical game?

Doesn't seem to have a publisher yet and isn't due for release until 2005. :'(

Status : Online | ok, so if everything goes right, then it should be a commercial game.
hoperfully they'll find a publisher and the game will be great.
I was wondering something. It is not very convenient to read the Inventory because the articles are written in collumns, so whenever I finish reading one column I have to move the page up to start reading the second one.
I know that this is because it is a magazine so it needs to look like one.
But since it is not published on paper yet, and I don't think many people print it out to read it, I am wondering if you can't do anything about it.
I'm know it sounds like a petty complaint, and I don;t really mind, but I'd just like to know why it is done like this.

A vampyre story looks very promising, too. Got a big glaring typo on one of the big bold featured quotes, though... "namely because your dead" should be "namely because you're dead"
Sorry to nitpick. Congratulations on another great issue!
now back to reading...

I tend to read online so have to scroll up and down to read.
This seems like a very good edition so I will take my time and read it tomorrow.
