Thank you.
budejovice: As an aside, it was really the only game I played in the 2000s (other than some old console stuff). Diablo 2 LoD was the first real multiplayer game i played. Before that i only played singleplayer games (aside from hotseat gaming with Homm III)

ddickinson: No need to be sorry, I knew it was a joke. But a little part of me wanted it to be true. I have not played the game in quite some time, so getting it on GOG would be a very good addition. But I know that we are not likely to get Blizzard games in here any time soon. Old Blizzard games that is, I have never liked the new Blizzard stuff, since Activision took over. I think the last game I bought from Blizzard was Warcraft 3 and it's add-on. I've honestly never been much of a fan of Blizzard's games. The only one i've been interested in played was Diablo 2 and the new Heartstone card came. Westwood's C&C series was much better RTS games than Warcraft/Starcraft, in my opinion. Although i'm probably in the minority to think that.
EndreWhiteMane: Since you guys are being so serious in here today I thought I'd do a little studying this afternoon. That looks like CarrionCrow's date. Was you spying on them?
CarrionCrow: Something coming to mind right now?
Space out what you play. Don't play a bunch of stuff from the same genre all at once, because if you start to get burned out on one, odds are you're going to start getting burned out on all of them simultaneously.
Also, make sure you don't start playing more than one painful, super difficult game at a time. I have three of those right now, all of them in progress.
And if that wasn't bad enough, I have three more games of the exact same genre on my desktop, and they're all difficult as well.
It's going to be a long three to four months of me addressing various platformer games as "dirty rotten sadistic whores". I don't really have that problem. I can't really get tired of the rpg / strategy genre and i'm used to played long games since when i sit down to play a game i like to play for several hours at a time. Minimum play time for me is usually ~45 min.
adaliabooks: It's nice to know I'm not the only one who never got the fuss around Harry Potter... :) ddickinson: Do not get me started on that poor excuse for a series. The amount of stuff that is strikingly similar to other stories is just appalling, not to mention the horrible charters and story line.
*hides before Harry Potter fans lynches me* Oh, i guess i'm not the only one that never read those books. Although, i don't really have any dislike to them as a series i was simply reading other books at the time those came out. I believe i was just beginning reading the LotR and the Hobbit at that time. Those were the first english books i read. Followed by Silmarillion and A bunch of Forgotten Realms novels.
I'd say Tamora Pierce's series belong under the classics too. Although i'm probably biased since she's one of my favourite authors ever. :P
What else had you expected from someone claiming to be from the Vatican? They're all old dirty men there. :P

Damn it...having another one of those information overload moments...
I could stay awake 24 hours a day for the next year, and still not clear my backlog of stuff to play and watch.

How was your day?

Can't complain here. Quiet day, now I'm very slowly improving at Super Hexagon.
How's your weekend been going?

Hmmm. Actually tried a game that I knew nothing about and it's turning out to be enjoyable.
What a nice change of pace from one piece of crap after another.

It's a puzzle-platformer called Nihilumbra.
The mechanics are like a 2-D version of the different gels from Portal 2, and you use those to get past obstacles, deal with enemies.
But the atmosphere's good, and it's not a bad game overall.

Another quiet morning on here...
Time for another random poem/quote, and this time something related to Valentines Day, becasue from reading your posts over the weekend, I know you love that time of year. :-)
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” ~ C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Good day, Moon! *biggest morning hug*
How has the day been treating you so far?
And for those who are not into the whole romantic love poem stuff, here is another one about friendship. Another by C.S. Lewis, who's works I have been reading a bit of this morning.
“Those who cannot conceive Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a true Friend. The rest of us know that though we can have erotic love and friendship for the same person yet in some ways nothing is less like a Friendship than a love-affair. Lovers are always talking to one another about their love; Friends hardly ever about their Friendship. Lovers are normally face to face, absorbed in each other; Friends, side by side, absorbed in some common interest. Above all, Eros (while it lasts) is necessarily between two only. But two, far from being the necessary number for Friendship, is not even the best. And the reason for this is important.
In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, 'Here comes one who will augment our loves.' For in this love 'to divide is not to take away.” ~ C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
