The reason is that it is forbidden to show them outside of documentary purpose. That is why normally the games which have them get a censored German version.

Thanks I'll have a look at it :-)

Oh my DD, that's some classy quoting. Unfortunately my head is kind of pounding so I will retire for tonight. But I will leave you with another quote.

"Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup." Anon

Have fun boys and girls.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that if I do pick it up :)

Pretty randomly to be honest, hence often being stung by buying awful books... I tend to just read the blurb on the back and get whatever sounds appealing to me. Or if I've heard good things about a book or author I'll pick up some of their stuff.

To be honest in the past I've largely tended to buy books by authors I know and just re read them a lot... but a lot of the authors I read have finished their series, decreased in quality or otherwise stopped writing...

Ah, that will be the problem. I don't use bold or italics enough to know this... :)

But that dream would be too logical for your brain. Remember that this is the same mind that makes you keep playing those games. It clearly likes torturing you. :-)

The flu is quite bad at the moment, bad enough to need a course of antibiotics. Hopefully it is at it's peak now and will be getting better, if not she could have to go into hospital.

Can we still gift these games to the German members, or is that also banned?

I will have a closer look at my own books tomorrow for some more recommendations. What kind of fantasy do you enjoy?

Also, I just remembered that the fantasy book The Never Ending Story was written by a German author. I liked that book when I was younger.

Goodnight!

Goodreads isn't perfect, but it's not bad. You list the books you have read or want to read, and it gives you recommendations based on your tastes. It's not a bad place to find obscure book you might have never heard of before.

You shouldn't get me started on quoting things... I could be here all night XD

Pretty much anything by Douglas Adams is either hilarious or insightful, but I like this one:

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all - Douglas Adams
I'll have a look at it again, but I'm fairly sure I've stumbled across it before and not liked it for some reason (but then I can be pretty random in taking against things)...

Yes that is really a nice book, I also liked it as child. And I am pretty open to many fantasy books, the only thing I do not really like is when the fantasy mixes with the nowaways real world :-)

"The Never Ending Story"

The boy stood on the burning deck and his feet were full of fire.
The Captain said, John tell us a story.

I don't use it that often, as it's not always that helpful. But there are plenty of user created lists, which sometimes have some little known gems on them.

I know the kind of books you mean. I will try to get time tomorrow to dig out a few books and make a list of suggestions for you. Also, I forgot the *hello hug*. :-)

Is that The Never Ending Story, or a realistic description of how similar most Hollywood movies are these days? :-)

How are you doing tonight? I hope you are feeling okay? *big hug*

Pretty much the same thing. ;)
I'll rate how I feel as 'fair' tonight, better than awful anyway. ;)
Give your partner a big PFFFFTTTTT!!! on her forehead, she'll be better in no time. (Or smack you stupid) :-)

Edit: Moon, aufheitern! I'm trying to. :-)

*big hug*

Fair is better than awful, but not quite as good as it could be. Is there anything we can do to help make you feel better?

I don't think my partner would even wake up if I did that, she is pretty sleepy today, partly due to the flu and also the antibiotics. At least the vomiting has stopped now, as that was worrying.

*big comforting cuddle*

Apparently that means what I hoped it did. :-)
* big hug back *
I feel sorry for her, I hope she feels better very soon , the flu is awful. Glad she has someone to care for her.
Nah, I'm OK, just in a rotten mood since I found out the pills aren't really working and my blood pressure is quite high, mine usually runs low so this is disturbing. I'll see the doctor again on Tuesday and I'm sure we'll work it out.
Just kinda grumpy for real tonight. ;)
* hug back *

*comforting hug* It was not grammatically correct but I get the meaning ;-)

She will be okay, she may not be a farm girl, but she is definitely a tough one. She must be, she has put up with me for this long. :-)

I am sorry to hear the new pills are not working, and that you have to wait for so long to see the doctor again. But just remember that if there is anything we can do, short of wearing skimpy costumes :-), then feel free to say so.

*another big hug*

I definitely have had my fill over the years. But hopefully it won't come to that. I'm hoping that as the vomiting seems to have stopped that that's a good sign.

I would think the answer to gifting is no. But hopefully we are able to do that, so at least the German users can trade for games they are missing, and maybe even the Australian users as well.
