I finished the "Quest for Glory 2" remake a couple of minutes before it was released, which was rather fun - chatting with people on the internet about it, but not being able to say anything, haha. We did manage to find the download URL before it was officially published tough - but only by a few minutes. I didn't end on as high a score as I could have, but I did skip a few quests.

AGDInteractive have released their remake of Quest for Glory 2, so go and download it! I'm providing one of the download mirrors, so I got the game a day early - we were told we're allowed to play it, but not release it or any information about it until the official release. I grabbed a few screen shots, so you can see the difference between the original and the remake, which are below.

For those of you who don't already know, I'm a huge Sierra "quest game" fan - my favorites being the "Quest for Glory" series. The problem is, these game were made ages ago, and feature very low quality/detail graphics, so aren't as fun as they could be: Quest for Glory 1 - Original Anyway, a long story short, the first "Quest for Glory" was remade featuring much better graphics and mouse support, but nothing was ever done for "Quest for Glory 2".

I spent the morning sorting out all the stuff on my computer - I wrote close 20 DVDs, and now have 43 GB more disk space free, but what a mission. I'm in the process of ripping all of the DVDs I own to ".avi" so I can just watch them off my hard drive, but it turns out I own 30 DVDs... I thought it was closer to 10 - who knew I was that rich.

I didn't think much of these videos by their titles, but they're insane. The first shows they're able to easily cut objects out of a video - as if they were filmed on a blue/green screen - without having to cut out the object in every frame. It's called the "Interactive Video Cutout". The second shows how videos can be enhanced by using photos. Basically photos are higher quality, and thus more detailed, than video footage.
