    I'm thinking a little Fallout 3-esque minigame where you have to fumble with your flimsy lizard hands to open doors. If people catch you your suspicion goes up because raptors have issues with doors.

    Those were door handles. There is still an issue to be explored with door knobs.

    I think we'll probably just have usable doors having handles, and unusable doors having knobs.

    what about having both handles and knobs, and the knobs would have the fallout 3 style opening thing attached?

    that way you could have goodies behind those doors

    You should be able to buy pro-dino rights posters which normalize people to your presence and result is less suspicion of unusual actions when people are in the vicinity of said poster.

    Shouldn't it be the other way around? As in, you could throw off suspicion by masquerading as a supporter of the New Age Klan, where humans of all races band together to beat the shit out of them scalies.

    But you also have to live with yourself.

    This inspired me to contemplate humans who're the raptor equivalent of weeaboos.

    Which I think would be hilarious.

    Or horribly offensive.

    Or both.

    Phil must go down to the company warehouse, and he's invited by one of the workers to a friendly game of 1 on 1.

    I think there needs to be a sequence in which Phil's health nut manager invites him to lunch and takes the initiative to order him some yogurt and a salad.

    Christmas comes early this year, I just sat down and coded a complete dialogue system in 6 hours. I now know the intricacies of making a custom Kismet event stay alive after activating and not barfing a million events at you every second.

    Also, the 'name' type is weird. Some functions expect a name literal that doesn't have a type before it, yet when I define a name literal without a type in the defaultproperties, it fails on me. The solution is to define a string (use double quotes) and cast it to the name type when you want to use it: name("stringthatwillbethename"). This also allows you to use string concatenation to build names dynamically.

    Was that commercial released during the same time as Jurassic Park or something?

    Or did they just decide "Lets just make a commercial where a dude plays Basketball with a raptor for no real reason."

    You say that like you need a reason to pit a basketball player against a raptor.

    I wish they'd expand the concept...pitting lawyers against raptors in court, pitting teachers against raptors in preschool, and pitting priests against raptors in various inappropriate situations.

    Is VJSP going to be strictly an action game or will it have some strategy components.

    "So I had dinner with that guy Phil last night. And breakfast. I know what you're thinking. "Oh, Margaret Anne, sleeping with a guy on the first date again." Okay, maybe I rushed into things. I mean, there's a lot of things about him I'm not crazy about. He's kind of hard to understand when he talks. His diet is so heavy on red meat that I'm surprised he hasn't already had a heart attack. His hygiene's not... great. His skin's so rough, and it's kind of hard to kiss him because I'm not real sure when he last brushed his teeth. But those are all easy fixes, right? I can change him. He's got a good heart! I can tell!"

    In case you were serious, the ad's from 2000. The dude that the Raptor plays, however, played for the Toronto Raptors, who were in fact named that due to Jurassic Park. It was a name voted on in a nation wide pole to boot. ...Rather then bring back the 'Toronto Huskies'. If I'm remembering right, 'Toronto T-Rexes' was also an option on the ballet.

    Therefore, the commercial was inspired by Jurassic Park.

    But... the picture is based on real raptor skulls*. I thought this was supposed to be a simulation.
    I have no idea. It's probably based on a made-up dinosaur skull.
