No idea.... you can't chose, I guess they will be unbundled when you buy the all-in-one new item... but you can't chose to keep only one of them... ?
I'll tell you that when I'll have tried it... ;-P
Good afternoon, Mr Whitemane !
I hope you'll manage to get some rest and will feel better in no time ! **big energizing hug**

It is a very smart move.
Which won't stop the paranoid tinfoil-hatted conspiracy theorists from screaming like a flock of geese.
There already is pitchfork sharpening.

Found this Car Talk story just now, that said:

"From the "You kids get off my lawn!" sign series."

and there was this photo...

who do you think I thought of? :)


...also +1 for Owl for the badge! ;)

I would have no idea. (Cool pic, saved!) :-)

Was going back and forth on whether to get Salt and Sanctuary or not.
Finally broke the mental stalemate and got it.

So, it'll be out on GOG tomorrow?

Good afternoon. =)

My first thought was that they might be shooting themselves in the foot.
Then I took a step back and reminded myself that 90 percent of all customers don't do things like I do. They won't double-dip as a matter of course.
Looking at it that way, the marketing power of it is obvious.

Ohhhhhh, instant gourmet coffee. The crystals and the chemical smell tell you that you're in for a once in a lifetime experience...-laughing-
-laughing hard- I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read that.
Yeah...pretty much...

I've been going back and forth on that one every five minutes myself for days. Especially now that I'm full-on obsessed with Dark Souls, it's calling me all the more. I could so easily stay busy with other games for months just to see if it comes here, but that's just not how I work. I may manage it, but not without a daily fight. And chances are, that fight will be one I eventually lose (most likely within the week, as each play session with DS makes me want to try it that much more.)

It should be interesting for us both. Will have to see what happens, who finishes it off first.
I did that for a couple weeks. Finally said to hell with it.

Yeah...I don't really operate that way either. That's why I have Darkest Dungeon on Steam and not here.

I'll be starting it today, so I'm sure I'll mention something about it, especially since I pitched Mercenary Kings.
Such a disappointment in the end. I didn't know they were going to rehash entire maps constantly while packing in over 100 missions that get more and more boring as you go.

Shall I play the first one first ?... or are the stories completely different ?...

I've still enjoyed what I've played of Mercenary Kings, but I think part of it is because I play it in such small doses. It's great for when I want to play a game but don't really have the time. I'll sneak in a 10 minute mission and then move onto something else. Mind you, it got hard fast and I haven't gone back to it for a bit, but that is also part of how I play games. Sometimes I'll have to spend a year or more just taking multiple stabs at a game just to even get started in earnest... I'm the same way with books sometimes. I'll start a book that I know I'm going to adore, but it just won't be the right time for it, so I'll just keep it on "standby" for the next three weeks-to-years. :)

I think SpaceChem is my current embarrassing put-this-off-for-now game, though once I can pry the lady from lifestuffs long enough to have her take the lead and put in some time with it, I think I'll find it more approachable. I can tell it's the sort of thing I should get, and easily, even, but I've only come at it while in the wrong frame of mind.
I really expected Dark Souls to be one of those put-off-for-now games forever. I just never thought I'd be be good enough to play it. I'm a bit surprised with how well I'm doing, to be honest. (not that I'm doing amazing, but I'm beating bosses and finding lots of cool stuff, and not just hitting a brick wall five minutes in, so that's something.)

I imagine Salt & Sanctuary is one I'll give in and try after 2-5 more play sessions with Dark Souls. And I'm only saying that so that I'll feel obligated to put in at least 2 more play sessions instead of heading directly over to Steam now just to get it over with, haha. Restraint in very small doses is how I work, it seems. Baby steps. ;)

No worries there, it's a sequel in name only. I've beaten the first and seen a Let's Play for the second, they have no connection storywise.
(If anything, you'll probably look upon the first one far more favorably after clearing the second...)
-laughing- That sounds all too familiar.

One thing I learned from games - anyone can beat a game eventually, unless they have some kind of physical reason why they can't. It's all about how much pain you're willing to go through to do it.

Your way sounds better. Mine boils down to agonizing for a while, then finally screaming fuck it and doing it.

Additional - Just got reminded of why the world isn't ready for nothing but automated internet stuff with no people keeping an eye on things.
Went to grab something, the site glitched, ended up having to do it over the phone, the site tried to charge me twice and I had to get ahold of a live person in customer support to get it fixed.

All this damn talk. Time for some Dark Souls. All it takes is a seed of a thought and I'm sucked back in.

I can't help but imagine we'll one day be telling our younger peers, "back in my day, human beings were still required for most jobs, and even customer service was entirely manual!" It's a scary thought, but it also seems as bound-to-happen-in-my-lifetime as the dying-out of HD-DVD.

Okay, I need to scratch this DS itch while Sarge is actually being calm. I think he's just sworn off naps today, but I'll take a bit of down time and roll with it. Been going on extra walks today hoping that the exercise and all the freaking hot will wear him out a bit. It's certainly doing the trick on me. :)

One problem with that idea - we need smarter humans to make smarter machines. Not really packing the faith to think that'll come easily.

Okay, have fun. Try to not get stepped on. Or shot. Or set on fire. Or get knocked off of things. ;)

"Looking for eligible games. Due to exceedingly high demand this may take up to several days, please check back later. Thank you for your patience."
Only "several days" until the offer expires. I wonder which will happen first :-p ... Do you think GOG expects to fail at this point, or that they are still being surprised every time they have some big event?

Also, hi everyone :-)
