Thank you, Rath, glad to hear it made you laugh! :D I had nearly forgotten about it but came across it while sorting and archiving my seemingly endless audio files. I laughed at it again myself, but I know my sense of humour may be unusual. :) I remember that when I made this, I had all the individu...

Thanks again. Yes, I’m also very familiar with the technical aspects you mentioned, having dealt with these formats for the two to three decades they’ve existed (MP4 being the youngest, but still over two decades now). But I meant that MP4 must be either more efficient or technically (if not audibly...

Right, I figured also that there shouldn’t be a big risk of it getting a strike. Thank you for the kind offer, Tawmis! Funnily, the MP3 audio file I made from the original WAV, which is some 36 Mb, is larger (8.5 Mb) than the HD MP4 video (5.7 Mb), even prior to Facebook’s compression. I uploaded al...

Hello everyone, once again after a very long absence on my part! I wanted to share something I made sometime in the early 2010s: a humorous mishmash of lines from Gabriel and Grandma Knight. I uploaded it to Facebook, as I wouldn't feel comfortable putting it on my YouTube channel, for example, sinc...

I was thinking of this one:



But it may just be my addled mind!

Something fun I came across, with Gabriel Knight relevance:

Is it just me, or...?

Thank you, Andrea, the feeling is very much mutual (I love reading your eloquent posts). The point you raise about how many people in any generation really experience any given classic work first-hand is a good one. I was musing internally on that topic earlier, but had yet to formulate a clear conc...

Thanks for the book recommendation, Andrea. I do remain interested in the potential of games despite my current disillusionment with how little of that potential seems to be fulfilled. When I say that, it's admittedly based on very subjective judgments regarding what I look for in works of entertain...

My apologies in advance for such a long, disorganized message, but I didn't have time to write a shorter one. ;) I've seen a lot of friends express something along these lines, and I have to say I myself feel rather disconnected and alienated from gaming these days. My feelings on this are kind of a...

Both the Collector's Edition (which included the European English version) and the UK release came with physical manuals, both of which had language problems. I think there may also have been PDFs on the disc. EDIT: There are, but the PDFs for both of the above-mentioned releases are the German one....

Or compare these spreads.

From the US version:



From the European English version:



So it appears the US version is simply not as finished a version as the European English release.

Here are some quotes: "...rarely leaving his home, the Dread Hill house." (Should be "...rarely leaving his home, Dread Hill House.") "...appears at Dr. Style's doorstep..." (Should be "...appears at Dr. Styles's [or: Styles'] doorstep..." "Samantha's fir...

Visually the US packaging looks nice, but the text has many problems. Unfortunately the UK packaging and manual had problems, too - but I expected that they would have fixed things in the several months that it took to release in the US. I can't understand it at all.

I got my US copy today, and I have to say I am shocked... I have only had a look at the packaging so far but it is a mess. It looks like no one proofread it, and the (digital-only) manual is even worse. It even lists the German voice actors instead of the English ones.

Okay, thanks a lot, Collector and dotkel50! I had not bought the American version yet. I thought the game itself might be the exact same version as was released in Europe, and when the US version first came out, there were not so many images available on Amazon of the US packaging, which I can now s...
