Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Sunday, 13 December
I miss funny people like Eric Idle taking part in an adventure game, I miss funny groups like Monty Python making adventure games, and I miss British humor (Steve Ince, hear that?! 
). I miss adventure games like Discworld II, but I guess we should look at the bright side of the current state of the genre. What do you say, Karlok?

Shhh… am I allowed to reply…? I forgot if it was only even days or uneven days.
Yeah, I miss games like Discworld I and II too. Not enough humorous adventure games being published these days. At least not commercial ones.

I actually played Discworld as a kid before reading the novels. I was kind of lost and was a bit disappointed after reading amazing reviews. Then I grew up, read the novels (loved Mort, Carpe Equal Rites and Carpe Jugulum) and then played the game again and loved it. We need more games like this and the first Simon the sorcerers.
Oh and I miss good British comedies… Haven’t seen any great recent movies :-(
Meh. I thought Discworld I and II had their moments, but they relied far too much on repeating the same joke 10 times in a row until your brain gave up and found it vaguely funny.
Come to think of it, that could also describe 90% of Monty Python humour, which I don’t care all that much for either. (If we’re talking classic British comedy, Blackadder is where it’s at, as far as I’m concerned.)
Oi!
Everybody wants to be Cary Grant.
Even Me.

I’m in favour of more British humour in games! Especially the absurd Monty Python stuff or the high-brow Stephen Fry stuff.
Not so much the hit-and-miss Little Britain-type stuff.
More Discworld AGs or Eric Idle voice-overs would be very welcome, imo.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

I always thought British are better at TV shows than movies. Now, Spanish and French are good at movies, but not so at comedy (Stereotypical much? 
).
If we’re talking classic British comedy, Blackadder is where it’s at, as far as I’m concerned.
Amen. Though Monty Python had a much bigger opus than Blackadder 4 seasons, and it’s easier to fall into hit&miss; territory that way. Still, The Holy Grail, Life of Brian… are pure comedy gold.
Oi!
Oink?

Those colours are so pleasant to the eyes, it would be fantastic if some would pick up the license for the Discworld novels. They seem like such a pairing with adventure games.
