Two things I didn’t care for in Quest for Infamy (2014): the frequent poo and pee jokes (not my type of humor), and the combat system (I suck at action/arcade stuff). But the rest was fine. I’m surprised the AG reviewer didn’t like the voice acting. And why should there a problem with the way women are depicted? Enjoyable game.

Hey, that’s Aragorn!
Everybody wants to be Cary Grant.
Even Me.

LOL! Yeah, that was my first thought too.

Looks like the same bar too.
It’s pretty sad that many of these pixellated adventure games have more eye candy for women than most of the High Res titles. I demand more!
I tried the demo a long time ago, should play this one properly but I have sooo many games waiting.

Who would have guessed? 
Hey, that’s what a child born between Aragorn and Will Riker would like, thank you!!
Funny story about “pee jokes” - much of that (from me as a writer) probably comes from the years I spent on dialysis and going through two kidney transplants. When you have ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease) your kidneys are dead and you literally don’t make urine. I didn’t pee for five years, and it’s the strangest sensation. You constantly feel like you have to go, and your bladder feels funny, but you never do. Imagine living with that sensation constantly… it’s maddening. And then, after you get a transplant, urine is your LIFE - you have to measure your output (and input) and keep a log of it for months to a year after, so you know it’s working. They test it constantly to make sure it’s working… you become immune to it. It seems likes it’s something so simple - everyone is born with the ability to do so, and it seems like an annoying habit of your body’s process - until you lose it. We started working on Quest for Infamy a few months after my transplant, so I guess that was on my mind. Humor is my way of coping with a lot of things, so - yeah - at a subconscious level, this way me dealing with that. Sometimes you have to laugh at it all.

Bt, that sounds awful. I hope you’re doing better now.

Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.
Well, I’m much better now - it’ll be four years in July that I’ve had my current transplant, and it’s doing well. A transplant isn’t a cure, though - just a form of treatment. Much better than dialysis, though. Dialysis is rough and terrible and I feel for anyone on it.

That does put a different perspective on things, Blackthorne. Thanks for letting us know, and I wish you well.

I’m not saying everyone’s going to like scatological humor, but I did want to talk about where I was coming from when writing the pee jokes. Plus, one’s a reference to “The Big Lebowski” which is a favorite film of mine.

I may be stupid again, but I don’t get it. What are you saying? That I make a lot of poo and pee jokes??

No, more that you don’t. I really should stop making jokes.
So, how about Plundered Hearts?

After I’m done with Hadean Lands. I don’t know if my poor brain can cope with 2 text adventures at once.
