AgentBirdnest: Random fact : Elephants are the only wild animal that understands pointing https://vimeo.com/76596749

(Special thanks to my cat, who prompted me to look this up after staring at my finger like a cute little moron when I tried to point at something behind her :-))
Oh, I don't know, with enough repetition you can teach cats quite a lot. I use several sounds/signs with my mom's cat to get him to do what I want (although, being a cat, he doesn't always feel like it). I'm always confused when other cats don't respond. :P

Well that is me done for the day. Time to go home for a hot bath, a warm meal, and some lovely time with my partner.

*big hugs and silly waves*

moonshineshadow: Maybe. First I would need to convince myself to go near them :D
Maybe GOG will get a horse riding simulation someday, a perfect way to get you started. :-)

AgentBirdnest: Makes sense :-D

and... holy pluck o__o ... I didn't know that other stuff. I'm reading an article about how they show empathy. When another elephant is in pain, they will try to comfort that elephant by caressing it with their trunk and making chirping sounds. They also try to "bury" their dead by covering them with branches...

I want one!! :-D
Did you really think that humans were the only one to rape and murder? It happens in the animal kingdom all the time, even with animals people think are cute and loveable. Humans are, after all, just animals themselves, and in spite of our superiority complex we are just the same as any other animal deep down, the same primal urges. :-)

Apparently, these elephants were able to understand without any training at all, which was a shock to the scientists.
Heh... I know what you mean about other cats not responding. A few neighborhood cats wander around and night and sleep on our porch sometimes. I try to use the same sounds and gestures that I use with my own cat, and often end up quite frustrated :-D

Nah... people like to say that all the time... "Humans are the only species that murder each other" ... I don't know where they get that information (except from their a**, of course :-p)

(edit : pardon my language... From their ar*e ;-))

This is ridiculous. I'm up 17 games over the last 2 days, so why in the hell am I scanning the catalog looking for more?

Come on, horses are lovely animals. Their kicks are easily provoced and can destroy your thorax and cause a huge GI bleeding but they are still lovely :3

Yep, it's definitely not going to work on a cat without training. :) That's pretty amazing about elephants.

And yes, I try to use the same gestures I use on the cat (which we've had for fifteen years) on the dog as well (she's one year old) and she just doesn't get it. I've got the cat trained quite well so I'm stumped every time it doesn't work until I finally realize I haven't actually trained the dog. :P

Easy answer - my list isn't done. If I had the money to clear it right now, I would. Once that's done, I'll be buying games roughly once every six months.

Just got back with my new bifocals! Eh..... I'll need some time to get used to them, lol

Only 1-2 months until summer sale :D Then you should be able to clear a good amount of your list.

I wish I was in your position. One more major sale combined with some luck and your list could be cleared out entirely.

That is true. Hopefully the summer sale will not start before middle of June and when it starts I hope it has some nice deals, since my luck with the weekend promos is real bad :D

Hopefully. The odds aren't in your favor for a standard sale with such a small list.
