Dear ScummVM,
It took a few Belgian beers and some local taqueria quesadillas before I heard from you tonight. I came home, sat down to promenade the Internet with the typical expectations of a post-buzzed Thursday night. A few Flickr comments, a new Vox neighbor, a MySpace message or two from the typical spam bot. The usual, as it were.
But then .harr let me know that you had changed for the better. That you were making great strides in the wakes of Adventure Game abadonware. You had finally welcomed the likes of one Zanthia, the sexy medieval alchemist who conquered evil in style and in turn you are now in full support of Legend of Kyrandia: Hand of fate.
You've come a long way, baby. I have a good feeling that this is forever.
Love,
.tiff
p.s. Not to be greedy, but if you're truly adventurous you should go ahead and add and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the FatherRex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender to your guest list. They're bona fide gentlemen, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

- I bought Gabriel Knight on floppy and for at least a year hated everyone who had the CD version. I was actually more jealous of its funky-shaped box than the voice acting, even though it would have disrupted my excellent collection of Sierra boxes.
- The very concept of Rex Nebular gave me nightmares at that age. And in retrospect, I stand by that evaluation.
- But if scumm is working well now, perhaps I'll have to go back and finally beat Fate of Atlantis at long last... why do you make it so hard for me to do work??
THIS MORNING GETS BETTER AND BETTER.
