CarrionCrow: They'll get over it. I've never been a huge fan of either that or Star Trek (which seem to be the two main ones), saw the movies and they were fine, but I didn't think they were so great that I fell in love with them.
It would take a better series than either has brought to the table to get me that interested.
I am looking forward to GOG getting some Star Trek games. Not to play them (I have never really seen much Star Trek), but so that we can grab some popcorn and watch a nerd war as both sides argue about which is best. :-)

EndreWhiteMane: Aloha EIT, thanks, I'd appreciate that.

ElTerprise: You're welcome. I hope i can find it :).
Actually I'd want an 'excellent' condition copy if I bought used.
Appears those are _at least_ $50.00!
Think I'll just be a traitor on this one and add it to my rental collection. :/

CarrionCrow: I don't really go back and continue dormant saves after not touching them for a while, usually.
With something like Grimrock that has little in the way of a story, it's not an issue.
But with Pillars, I don't want to damage the experience by going back in after it's sat for too long, so that's getting restarted.

akhliber: This is definitely the biggest drawback. I just have trouble focusing my attention on one thing for too long. But it is quite a pain when I go back to a big RPG after a long break (during which I surely played another story-based game) and forget what's happening and what I was working on in-game.
Right. Once you have to start scouring the journal or quest log to piece the memories back together, you've essentially lost the whole thread of the thing. At that point it gets restarted and all the progress is lost.
Not a fan of doing that. It's all going to turn to half-remembered mush anyway unless I find something sufficiently infuriating to get me screaming, reaffirming my theory that good memories fade while hatred burns forever, so I at least try to get a coherent storytelling experience while I'm actually playing it.
Of course, we could also be getting a new language added to GOG, and thus a promo from that region(s). Maybe Spanish?

I used to love Star Wars becacuse when you're 9, laser-sword-fighting-space-warlocks is the coolest thing EVER.

Then Lucas ruined it for me.

I've always found Star Trek a bit silly. I don't think even 80's WWF could top the awkwardness of the lizard fight.

-laughs- That's about it. I was going to make some kind of high road statement about not spewing venom over such silliness, but then I remembered myself screaming at length during Insomnia, wanting to keep Anomaly Defenders up so long that it unseated Jack Keane 2 as the retarded king of worthless game garbage.

And if GOG hadn't pulled the plug, I'm willing to bet I could've helped make that happen. I wasn't going to stop. -laughing hard-

I'ts probably the best way posible - i think there were some issues with the old cd versions (not to mention some of them needed Impulse)..

Hmmm...then i've to fight with myself as i like both :)....and imho Star Trek is more Science Fiction whereas Star Wars borders Science Fantasy to some degree...;)
Good morning (afternoon and evening) to everyone.

It's just before 6 am, and I've already read through the post posts...
(and a few of the Threads in the Forum that caught my eye)

All is well here, trying to decide what to have for breakfast.
And since Billy hasn't added a song of the day yet...
Dreams are on the menu for now. :)

Seems like everyone is doing well today.

That argument is moot.

Doctor Who is the superior and ONLY choice.
Well, it's here and the bundles, while Star Wars related, still look pretty nice price-wise.

I think I have only ever played one Star Trek game. It was an old game that one of my brothers used to play called [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Starfleet_Academy_%28video_game%29]Star Fleet Academy[/url]. It was a fun game, and I had no real need for any Star Trek knowledge to play it. It also had live action FMV cutscenes, which I like, as they are often fun and silly, even though many people hate them.
And it was a STAR WARS PROMO!

Problem (or not, depending on how you look at it) is that I already got everything in the saber bundle off that humble bundle a few months back.

Yes I know, I worship false gods.

So I guess you will be performing some self-flagellation if we get some Star Trek games. :-)

Even better, get some Doctor Who games as well. An epic war between the three nerdoms. :-)

I don't think I've played a Trek game since ones for the original Nintendo, a very long time ago.

I agree with you about FMV's. There's so much pretension to video games, so much aspiring for something cinematic, that people forget that something bad can be made good if it's bad in an amusing way.
Hmm...Star Wars Saber bundle looks interesting.
