CarrionCrow: I thought my reflexes were shot. Then I decided to play Meat Boy to the end, no matter how long it took.
Turns out they weren't as bad as I thought. Maybe you can try something like that. =)

EndreWhiteMane: I'll be happy if I ever beat VVVVVV. ;)
Started playing that one, but the music started getting annoyingly cacophonous after a bit. Haven't gone back to it since.
Waiting to get in the right mood to start Transistor, since it's supposed to be pretty good across the board.

Sounds like an interesting and rather different game.
Be interested to see what you think of it.
Right now I'm debating on Ethan Carter, it's been on and off my wishlist about 10 times now.

BillyMaysFan59: Following Crow's advice I have decided to skip Dark Forces and jump right into Jedi Knight Dark Forces II.
I did the same thing recently (skipped Dark Forces to jump right into JK). I actually made a few posts in this thread because Jedi Knight was an amazingly fun ride for me. I was hugely surprised that it was not just a good oldie but a downright fun game I couldn't wait to get back into night in and night out.

Incidently, I fired up Mysteries of the Sith a few nights ago and wasn't too thrilled with it about a level and a third in. The difficulty felt a bit high in a "not fun" sort of way, and especially the second level felt drab, washed out and difficult to navigate.

I read a couple reviews and quite a few of them mentioned the same issues LOL! I might try to play a little more to make a final call, but I think it's one I'll just put aside.

Likewise. At the moment it's off after I read about it being a really short game for the price.

Interesting. Whether or not I will want to play through Mysteries of the Sith, only one way to find out. :P

I was super excited about the premise of Ethan Carter, the gorgeous visuals and the reports of it being a nod to Lovecraft. Then I read reviews that had it listed as insanely short and less of a game, more of a stroll. That was enough to make it a pass for me.

I just realised that the new wishlist thing and the syncing to gogwiki not working means that I need to take notes for my wishlist in a seperate file again...
And I am thinking that I should probably take the "backup" games from the list, should I make it viewable to other persons besides myself...

Oh for sure give it a go. I jumped right into it fully excited for more goodness. As it stands I'm a bit bummed I'm going to miss out on the story but if your experience is anything like mine it's pretty easy to tell straight off if you're going to love it or not.

Side note - I haven't played multiplayer in any of them so if that's your bag I can't compare the two games.

At 20 bucks I would pass too, and have a few times. At 8 bucks it may be worth it.
I like just 'strolling' and discovering things sometimes.

Can't for the life of me figure out why websites don't give their users a simple 'notes' page.

That is why the gogwiki was great. I could put all the notes there and people interested in gifting could also read why the games were on the list... And now there will be again the problem of having the correct notes at work and at home and wherever I might need them :P

Perhaps I should just use the gogwiki for the notes like before even without wishlist.

I use Evernote for most of my stuff, it's free and can be used anywhere with or without a client.

Never heard of it. I need to remember it (in four weeks) when I am back home to check it out :D

Had it for a few years now and really like it.
You can clip web pages, take notes, draw pics, whatever.

Good evening, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and have had a nice evening? I delivered an adorable baby cow earlier - you do not want to know where my hands have been today. :-)

I see the site is loading terribly slow tonight. Did I miss anything fun?

Soccorro: are you assuming it would have been a british vctory if the british troops mainly consisted of "actual british" soldiers?
Now, now, that is why I was a bit reluctant to share such things, as people always jump to the wrong conclusions. At no point did I say that it could have altered the outcome of the battle, I was just mentioning that the British in that part of the world were not as well equipped or manned as elsewhere.

GhostwriterDoF: Was it the battle of Sambre or Mons?
I am not sure, to be honest. If I get the time I will see if I can dig up some of the information I read in one of my books.

HypersomniacLive: Desktop users are unhappy with the state of the site, mobile users are also unhappy with the state of the site - have to wonder what users does GOG have in mind when they make changes...
It's possible that the mobile users are enjoying the new site, I am not quite the average customer, so just because I do not like it does not mean others won't, they might love it.

moonshineshadow: *big hug* Late reply... but yeah, seems like I need to decide this weekend what to do with all this friend and wishlist stuff...
And also *thank you hug for not gifting* I am not sure yet, I am really interested in the game and it does not really have a nice discount.
*big return hug*

One solution could be to keep a text based wishlist on the GOGwiki. You could just manually list the games you like (and keep your notes). That way we would all still be able to see, and you would not have to worry about all this new wishlist stuff?

Onee-chan! *careful hugs*
Congrats on the baby cow.You work on a dairy farm,right?
