genkicolleen: Hi, folks! I just read a great article that I think y'all will find very interesting:

8 Video Games That Even Non-Gamers Will Want to Play

I can personally vouch for both Life is Strange and Valiant Hearts (which happens to be on sale at Steam for less than $4 right now!)

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts ^__^
That list needs a lot more Manhunt 2. After all, that's the game I'd show to people just to see their reaction. ;)
*happily hugs back all of the muddy people* XD

superstande: That's a nice article! Life is Strange seemed quite interesting... maybe I'll give a vote for gog to add it? :)
Valiant Hearts is supposed to be a heavy trip, if my junglevine-connection is right :)
Yes, I'd love to see Life is Strange here!

EDITED to add handy-dandy link to GOG wishlist entry: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/life_is_strange

Valiant Hearts is worth the hassle of dealing with UPlay, in my opinion. You can see my full review HERE.

Okay, think I've caught up now, more or less.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. =)

A bit disappointing. With the language barrier, you can't fully engage the person to either playfully mock or twist the knife outright.
Also, they ran out of steam pretty quickly. I'm used to 24 solid hours of lunatics screaming at each other, using everything under the sun in an attempt to hurt each other verbally. Those were always the most fun. =)

FearfulSymmetry: Hey Crow, how are you?
Doing okay here. Chugging caffeine, trying to not eat the economy size bag of berry Skittles in one shot, taking a break from Icewind while thinking that the game really doesn't hold up as well as I remember, things like that.
Nothing terribly exciting overall.

You reminded me that I need to get into Broken Sword now that I have the whole series.
Seems like Icewind is the current series run, but might do that after.

Hmmm, Skittles. Tasty. :P Good to hear you're doing okay. And yes, I've started the first one just now, and it seems like fun.

And a one pound bag of them, at that. If I felt like disregarding my health altogether for the day, I could wipe out the bag and chase it with a few pots of coffee. I'd definitely be awake then.
Hey there !! :) I'm back home...
What did I miss ?....
HOOOO a new Wadget Eye Game ?!? :-O haaaaaannnn .... Awesome !!!! \o/

I'd say so too! Perhaps take a little bit at a time? :P

I've never had skittles not have any desire to eat them. I find them cringeworthy just imagining how very artificial they must be.

And that was before I even saw the commercials advertising it.

And I hear that the jamaican man "milking" the giraffe is one of the tamer ones.

Oh, they're chock full of artifice. Willing to bet there isn't a single drop of anything that even resembles the fruit it tries to emulate.

I just put them away so I wouldn't be tempted. I don't need a pound of flavored sugar to keep my day going. -laughs-

Doing all right here. Actually went to sleep much earlier than usual after playing Icewind for a few hours.
A couple more areas and I'll be done with the main game, then it's on to the expansions, then Icewind 2 after all that.

How has your day been going?
