I actually click the banner whenever I buy anything from GoG. Does it matter if I click this one or the one on IA?

There's also a modding guide that puts Baldur's Gate 1 into 2 and makes it one massive game using the engine of the second one. It is a very complex system but the more you play with it the easier it seems to get. It's more of a tactical battler than anything I've played.

I found dreamfall to be wordier than GK but that's just me. I recently tried playing Sam and Max hit the road. Is it just me or was that game particularly difficult?

I have no idea how I got my title but I love it.
I remember hitting post 1000 at AGDI to get the title "Royal Vizier" and I had it forever too. I was past 2000 when Navynuke gave me a custom one out of pity.

Quest for Infamy / Re: Quest For Gory 4.5 inspired this?

I don't even think I was in highschool the last time I played QFG4.5 It was weird at every turn and I'm pretty sure I couldn't figure out how to beat it. Probably didn't help that I just walked around casting lust at everyone.
Also what's the deal with this QFG1 log? I have no idea what anyone's on about and I've played the hell out of that game.

My Story is very similar to Broomie's brothers and all. The first game I remember playing was King's Quest V, I'm sure there were some before that but I very vividly remember just wandering about in the woods and then the witch would come and turn graham into a frog. It terrified me so badly, I would hide under the desk trying to click restore blindly because the image of frog graham staring down the camera was too scary. it was around 15 years later that I beat that game.
The first adventure game I finished was either Full Throttle or Curse of Monkey Island. They were both so easy compared to Sierra games that they made for good starters. When people ask about starting adventure games those two or The Dig are always my recommendation.
What makes them so good is you can play them like interactive stories. I've played Full Throttle start to finish (having a save to skip that weird combat bit) in front of two friends separately just to have them watch it. I played Curse of Monkey Island straight through in two sittings with my niece (11) and she said it was her "Favourite cartoon ever" and she really like how Guybrush was relatively unfunny in a world of crazy characters.
I played The Dig through with my fiance and her thoughts after praising it for hours were "Why isn't this in theatres right now?" now I've got all of those people hooked into my telltale account, because they're also easier games with focus on story and jokes, and I just light up when I get the occasional email about "Oh man, when Homestar races the hurdle the turtle and curdle....d milk it's so good" or, "This New Monkey Island is as funny as the ones you showed me."

From what I've seen on these forums, especially in the case of Zeek, is that sending in the demo is the best way to do it. Don't wait for the invitation just crash that party with your demo.

I've done some unofficial testing/helping for previous Mac ports (for IA and AGDI). It seems to have all the standard problems all wraps have. If it's not an OpenGL issue (solved by updating OSX) or an integrated graphics card issue (solved by not having a 5 year old Mac) than it's a bug that's in the Windows version like
I found in KQ1VGA for Mac. Regardless if there is no official wrap I'm sure they will be made available anyways.
