Because the hype train is behind it :P

I'm actually really looking forward to it myself. The dev's previous game Contrast was pretty decent, only let down by a checkpoint only save system and occasionally finicky controls. The writing, art direction, atmosphere, tone and mood were all on point in Contrast and I'd like to think that they could continue to keep that stuff on the upper end of the good scale. If all that stuff ends up taking a big step back then at least we have a visually striking and unique setting survival horror game, which that alone makes it highly visible when compared to the usual tropes.

Let's not forget that most of these "survival" games are set in either a post apocalyptic world, a lost island, a uninhibited forest, a combination of the above or just a plain dungeon, usually with grim and dark art styles.

ACHOOOOO!! Pardon me, dusty in here.
*starts dusting and picking up tumbleweeds*

*fwoosh*
*passes the antihistamines* :-)

Thangs, Honkkkkk! Much better. :-)
Edit: You're up late tonight.

*passes tissues as well, so you don't have to use your sleeve anymore* ;-p
Can't sleep. Dunno why. *shrug*
How's your evening going?

Doing OK here, a bit whipped from work today. We tried to break the record for most clients in one day and almost made it. :-)
Just having a coffee and catching up on things, still have internet issues, at least we have a tech scheduled to come out.

Internet issues are no fun. Anytime it goes down, I always get depressed when I realize how much I depend on it :-p
Hopefully they get it fixed sooner rather than later.

Big problem is my landlord. I share her connection but she isn't home much and has 4G to fall back on when she is. It's hard to get her to consider it as important as I do. :-)
I'm going to get the 3G on my tablet working next month so I'm not quite so dependent.

*Honks clown horn and waves while passing by on a tricycle that's gigantic sized*

Kingdoms of Amalur is starting off strong, I'm a half hour or so in and I'm enjoying most everything about it.

Good morning, thread!

*Wednesday hugs*

...you have a different hug for every day of the week?
You people are scary. O_o

Pfft. You just don't understand hug culture.

good morning, Fred.
Morning, everybody...
**Test hugs**

*very careful hug* ... Don't sneeze, or GOG might break ,'','',,'):-\
