Are you sure? You can always wrap yourself with the blanket while sitting at the PC. ;-)

ElTerprise: I hope so - but it's just a really small private railway company operating only two railway connections in Schleswig-Holstein. And the job mostly involved counting the passengers and make some really small interviews.

The job is not connected to my studies. It's only a opportunity to earn some money while i'm still studying :)

[...]
Fingers crossed all goes well and as stress-free as possible. Making some money while still studying makes one feel good. I used to take summer jobs when still in school and later in University; most fun job I had was working as a tour guide for a couple of years when still in University.

That's the article, but since it's about voice actors, the voices are nice to have there. :) But it's still a decent read if you care.
Cheers, perhaps it's regionally restricted?

CarrionCrow: And that's part of why you're hooked on the game.

When you beat something to the point that you dominate no matter what, when you're so good so you could do it in your sleep with no mental awareness at all required?
That's when it's boring. That's when the game gets uninstalled for good.

Man I have that game, and looking at the video... Maybe I should play it more - only ever got about an hour into playtime... my brother keeps telling me to play it... somehow have ignored him.

That is hilarious.

Also, it reminds me that I need to pick up Demon's Souls since a roommate got a PS 3 essentially dropped in their lap.
The roommate's anguished wailing when they actually try it will make me feel better about my own screams of despair. =)

To actually put things together like that? Sounds like.. hmm.. awesome. Wrapping thyself with games. "These will keep me warm at night also I have this soft blanket.."

It's starting to sound dirty.

GhostwriterDoF: And I got to do a test run of the first couple levels of SW Dark Forces 1 and 2, which both had surprisingly good action, and better than I thought, though backlogged for now.

Ixamyakxim: ...
Question for you though - I didn't have an option for running it in 1920 X 1080. I'm running it in some weird resolution (it looks fine) - I wish I could remember which one. Is there a way to run it in 1920 X 1080? Any idea if there's a problem with running it in a non-native resolution, particularly one I'm not familiar with?
I haven't checked the sub-Forum or looked at the widescreen site http://www.wsgf.org/mgl/gog ...

When it comes to older games, I tend to stick with 800 x 600, or 1024 x 768 resolutions as long as they stretch well, since the old textures on higher resolutions don't tend to translate well on higher resolutions. And the text usually gets really small! Plus sometimes when you use higher resolutions the UI can get truncated off-screen.

You seem to have a thing for driving topics into dirty territory.... now put that blanket away. ;-)

Slowly and make a dance out of that. =)

Howdy Hyper!

I have an extra Rack, in case you wanted to stretch out your back... ;)

and...

Fiddling with the Galaxy client at the moment before heading out in a quest for Speakers.
Good heaven's! The text is small in the Galaxy... if we can put a man on the Moon, can't we have
a way to "zoom in" to the Galaxy? heh!

Normally I'd say "vid or it didn't happen", but in this case... do I want to see you do some sort of a Nine 1/2 Weeks dance? I think not.

Thanks for the kind offer, but something tells me I should decline.

Last week it was Barefoot Essentials, this week it's the Galaxy client, I think you're spoiling yourself rotten. ;-P


Best of luck with scoring a nice set or speakers. :-)
Hiho everybody *distant hugs and silly waves*

While being sick didn't allow me to "seriously" go at my current games (The Witcher modules, FEAR Extraction Point and Ether One), I decided to try out and evaluate all the games in my library that sounded really neat, were recommended by many or otherwise were intriguing enough to end up bought (or in many cases, gifted by very nice people).

As I wrote before I played a little Long Live the Queen, which I ended up liking more than I thought - fascinating little gem, but certainly not for everyone.

Today I gave Consortium a go. It looks really like something I might enjoy, I really like the premise and the art-style (and the music by Jeremy Soule), but the terminal right at the start that is overwhelming you with lore, and the first crewmember, all with codenames... It simply was too much for my fever-battered brain. So I won't continue this until I'm more fit.

Then I installed and started Among the Sleep (how nice and easy this works with Galaxy, taking care of everything in the background. I got hooked, I can't deny it. The idea of playing a two-year-old child with his teddy is pretty cool and well executed. I kept coming back to the game. I played until I had the "second memory" today (for those who know the game).
It has the same problem as many of the "artsy" games - there's more exploring in terms of "letting the mood sink in" than puzzle solving or action (so far, there was no action at all). It doesn't bother me much, I like these kinds of games (see Ether One), but it may be a problem for others.
I have only two minor gripes so far with the game:
a) The "child's drawings" that are spread throughout the game are definitely not those of a 2yo. Being father of two kids myself, I can see that my younger (4) is slowly nearing the ability to draw like that. And she's pretty good compared to her age-group at the kindergarten (probably "inspired" by her older sister, who can draw extremely well.
b) The game is marketed as "Horror". While it certainly is very moody and sometimes a little spooky, it's not more frightening that old haunted house movies from the black-and-white era.

PS: concerning the drawings. In case they are a subtle hint that there should be an older sibling, I take it back :-)

Or you are more afraid that you might like it too much. =)

Infact I do not use cam much.. I'ts creeping me out. I would like to practice speaking english more though out loud.. So I could use mic more in multiplayer games. Like in GTA online.
Damn it...why'd I have to start watching a show with 75 episodes?

I'm blaming the Super Best Friends for this. -laughs-

I started watching supernatural and it seems that I get scared too easily but I like the show.

I still get occasional fears for watching "It" years ago.

Edit: I just hate clowns and dolls.
