What the heck?!?

Well, I guess that would explain why my hdd says it only has 27GB of free space left. I guess after my tests tomorrow I'll start backing up all of my files and get ready for a reformat. Good thing I just bought a 25-pack of DVD-RWs

Yeah, I think you have a worm or three and/or a virus.  That second instance of the Scrolling Game Development Kit is obviously incorrect.  But I think you've got the right idea as far as backing up files and reformatting.

I have noticed similar things with my version of Game Dev.  It says that it takes up much more space than it actually does, but I think it's just estimating it wrong.

Also, I noticed that you have the Neverhood :-).  Great game!

Yea man, I love it! You can never get tired of classic games like that (except that looong walk to get teh 1 disk in the hall of history room, it's like 39 frames each way)

I never actually counted.  But just imagine how long it must've taken to actually make just that part of the game!  Writing all the text into the clay by hand!

hah, nah they didnt write that all in by hand, its a lense trick. they had like 3 differnet walls completely blank, then they have a special font that just displays over it to make it look like its ingraved in. they talked about that and how they did the video for the clay pedistle.

Makes sense, I suppose.
