moonshineshadow: I'll tell you flat out, that I won't make such a list. It has nothing to do with making gifting easier or harder.
Of course backup games have lower priority but the other games, it would depend on my mood which game would get top priority so it could change daily. This is because my list has games that I think could be interesting, but nothing I really need to have right now (since I would just buy such games).
And since I do not want to update my list every day there will be no top 5 :P
That's pretty much the same for me. I own the ones I really want, the rest are just ones I have an interest in. But I guess others still have games they want on their wishlist, so they would be able to make a good top 5 list for Crow.

ddickinson: For some reason, I always thought the humans in the screenshots for Hatoful Boyfriend were women. Someone told me they were guys and you play a girl at the school. What is it with the current Anime style of making the guys look like effeminate women? But then I should have known they were not women, as they are not all 12 year old school girls scantily dressed and with giant breasts. :-)
I'm not a huge anime fan, but the concept of the effeminate pretty boy's been around for a while, I think.
No clue why, though. I prefer watching shows where things are at least somewhat realistic in regards to appearance.

You are probably right. I have not really followed Anime for some time, most of the ones I have seen were at least 15 years ago. They were not perfect back then, but at least they were generally better than the strange style they have today (over-sexualised underage girls and effeminate pretty boys).

The market seems to be flooded with a lot of items that cater to such things.

It's like Netflix right now. They hardly ever get new anime, but the last time they updated, they got a show where high school girls beat on each other until their clothes are torn off, and a show where the females look slightly older, but instead of fistfights, it's supposed to be characters getting maimed violently in between the fan service.

Needless to say, there's two things I won't be spending my time watching.

What really sucks about it is that there's some really good anime.
It just gets dragged down by all the creepy shit that potential viewers associate it with.

If you ever are in the mood to watch more anime? I'd recommend Black Lagoon.
No creepy girls, no pretty boys, just a really good show.

I agree that there are some really good anime shows out there, with some very interesting storylines. Sadly as you said, they get buried beneath all the rubbish and creepy shows. Sadly these creepy shows put a lot of people of anime. Thank you for the suggestion. I do not watch much TV anymore, but should I feel in the mood for some anime, I will try to get hold of Black Lagoon. Studio Ghibli movies are among my favourite animes, some very good stories, beautiful animation and art style, and no real need for childish and perverted fan service.

AgentBirdnest: How about a glass of ice-cold water on my head? That could be really helpful at the moment...
** Biggest crushing hug **

LaPtiteBete: Ho really ? Are you still suffering from headache ?? :-|
*start to fill a big glass with freezing cold water *
Oh no, I'm quite fine... Never mind about the ice-water, it sounds quite unpleasant now that I think about it :-p

Fair warning - Black Lagoon's content is the animated equivalent of a hard R-rated action movie in the U.S.
It's definitely not lighthearted, typically.

It's just me or is this weekly pick rather lacking? And you should try decaf,Owl. How do you sleep with so much coffee?

Hello again everyone,

Had to disappear and do some prep for tonight.

I see Crow and dd are planning to steal my wishlist layout... I'll have you know my system is patented so I want some sort of compensation! ;)

@Owl
Don't have time to go back and find the post, but yes, I do generally read everything... only the odd time when there are a lot of pages since I last read / posted and I'm not feeling up to it...

If I disappear again it's probably because I've gone to get ready for work.

No way... decaf gives me headaches :-( ... I don't drink so much coffee that I can't sleep, luckily...

You're courageous !! ;-)

I'm sure we can work something out. -laughs-

Additional - Okay, the sun's coming up soon. Need sleep.
Have a good day, everyone. =)

zenwan: Good morning / evening
Sounds like you need to go to bed, that kind of sleep doesn't do anyone much good. I'm sure you're pretty tired.

I'm just stopping by to say hello, then leaving again, couldn't log in this morning, as my internet was playing up.
Hope everyone has a good day, or a good night's sleep. (hint hint) ;-)

I'm staying logged in - trying to download some games, it's embarrassing having all these games that I haven't even downloaded, and I don't want them to suddenly disappear out of GOG like others I read about. Very slow process, as the GOG downloader doesn't work on this computer.

CarrionCrow: Good morning. =)

Wouldn't work right now. For my brain, chair sleep is still sleep. It's just enough of a boost to give me energy that needs to be burned off so I can try to sleep again.
Such a pain in the ass. -laughs-

Sorry that your internet is being obnoxious, combined with a broken downloader that should make grabbing games a really "fun" experience.
Hopefully it stabilizes, losing downloads halfway through gets old very fast.
Downloads seem to have gone well, I left them running while I was elsewhere, and so far, all is well. Doing them while I'm busy with other stuff saves getting frustrated about them being slow. Hope you have managed to snatch a few moments of sleep at your chair. Perhaps you should add a pillow to it, to make things a little easier? ;-)
