dj_alfi Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I feel like there is absolutely nothing to live for now that I've finished Grim Fandango. What am I supposed to do now? It feels like a spouse has died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Now you should play the rest of the old Lucasarts adventures. Although I admit, Grim is one of the best. Can't decide between it and Full Throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I feel like there is absolutely nothing to live for now that I've finished Grim Fandango. What am I supposed to do now? I yes, I can feel the pain and emptiness that plagues you. I started to rebuild a 3d location of the LSA, named everything ( pc's in the network) Sal_[insert something], printet out some GFT-shirts and still wanna do some more. You could start to play an instrument, a violin i.e. to play some GF tunes on it ( like him ) Something that reminds you of GF, that brings you back to Rubacava at nights.

Andychs Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i finally finish GF, after 5 years???!! i played it once on my old PC running win2k, could get pass the first part, where u go to the poisoning, just couldn't find where to go. at that time i didn't really know much about puzzles or walkthrough available. Recently i been digging up old games, since my laptop cannot run newer games like Fifa2k10 & FM2010. so finally reloaded GF, i did hang a few times... but i manage to compete it with help from walkthrough... my biggest mistake... i thot those golden doors was my "big boss" room, hence i didn't bother going near it. and kept thinking i had to leave the building to find the location. anyway. awesome game, but a lot of missing parts and question marks. would be nice if the ending talks about what happens after u kill the bad guy....

Monk! you old dog If I read this again it will only be for the 26th time, meaning I've probably missed something...Better just to read again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Monk! you old dog If I read this again it will only be for the 26th time, meaning I've probably missed something...Better just to read again If you haven't read the revised version, maybe you have 'missed' something at that. Speaking of versions, I really (rant alert) wish there were an easy way to convert to the epub format and retain existing formatting. I can run my OOo file through calibre and I just get a pretty awful-looking e-book. The font formatting for the section/chapter headings is lost and I don't see any good way to make the sections into 'chapters' (and scrolling through one long, continuous text is not fun). So far there's only a proposal to give OpenOffice an export-to-epub function, and the only third-party options I can find mostly involve special templates and the prospect of moving a 120,000+ word novel to a new template is scary. I have a fantasy that someone with XML experience would do it for me. Hah. My other fantasy involves finding an illustrator. (Any other fantasies I have aren't suitable for disclosure.)

MeddlingMonk, you are still around? I think I have a 9 year old e-mail from you with your original version of your novel. If you ever get it converted over to epub properly make sure to post it. I'll convert it over myself using calibre as well for my Kobo e-reader, but likely will lose most of the formatting. Maybe convince the girlfriend to read it, then she may figure out why I named the cat Meche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Woh. MeddlingMonk, you are still around? Yep. Still around. The epub version is sort of on hold. I found a free open-source utility for converting texts to epub and also capable of formatting them, which is great, but it's at an alpha stage of development, which is bad, but at least it's in active development. I keep testing it whenever there's an updated version release but it continues to make way too many conversion errors. Calibre does a better job of the initial conversion so I may end up starting with calibre and then fixing things and creating chapter divisions with Sigil. But neither is preserving tabs which bugs me because I don't like block paragraphs. It may just be a matter of playing with things and finding what works/looks best.
