Wise decision.

I'm half way through it right now. It's got some of the best music and the best dialogue I've ever seen in a game.

I like the poetry scene where you get up and BS a poem. My favorite is getting up on stage and going "The end."

I agree, UltimatePotato, the screenplay is astonishing. It's on par with most Oscar-winning films.

Ah, what a game. I have the soundtrack and regularly listen to it.

Make sure you give the Rusty Anchor card to Glottis: that's a treat in itself.

Some of the conversations are really believable, like when the janitor's wife left on the boat and hands Manny the mop. I really like how the hotel has the whole Film Noir thing going on too... what a great game.

The poetry slam was a blast.

LOVED that game. One of the few I've actually played through. I should play it again, it's been years. The great music really adds a lot to an already well written game.

Space Quest.. God I wish SP7 would have gotten made.
Police Quest, which was great until part 4.
Kings Quest, great until part 7.

Never played Grim, always wanted to.

I haven't played this game, but I feel like I might wanna. Do I wanna?

Loved whatever 20 minutes I played of it but I'll never figure out things like FILL BALLOON ANIMAL WITH SOMETHING AND LEAVE IT IN BOSS'S OFFICE OR TUBE AND LEAVE THE DOOR UNLOCKED OR WHATEVER so I dropped it. Bah!
