adaliabooks: Evening all!

How is everyone doing?

Just started playing Shadowrun, liking it so far, although I think I'll probably end up making a mess of my character by spreading myself too thinly..
Splashed out on a laptop chill mat to hopefully stop it from overheating when gaming, seems to be working so far.
If it's the Dead Man's trigger stock story you won't because it's all of fifteen minutes long.

BillyMaysFan59: Release Streams (twitch) are scheduled on Wednesday, but not on Thursday. Thursday's streams kind of look like GOG is hiding something to me.
Yes looks like like but weren't today's streams the same before?

Good evening.
A chill mat? Never used something like that before...

Today's streams weren't labled as "RELEASE STREAM", sure. But they give more details as to what they are. Thursday's streams don't give any, they just say "stream with JohnDoe"... I dunno, just observing small details ;)

Let's not exaggerate. :P It's short but not *that* short. I thought it was pretty good, even though Dragonfall is clearly better.

I have a laptop cooler that's extremely necessary because I play games that are much too advanced for my laptop. :P I also got the cooler because it means I can have my laptop screen at eye height, which helps reduce my neck problems.

BillyMaysFan59: Well, guys....I think it's now safe to say that the summer sale will begin on Thursday.
That is an intensely silly decision to me. Who's gearing up heavily right now, aside from people with no clue at all that it's summer video game sale season?

I'm not buying anything until the sale starts, especially since I've gotten burned more than once grabbing at retail only to have the exact item show up for heavy discount days later.

That's not what i meant. I'm pretty sure that it only said 'Stream' on tuesday without any detail when i looked yesterday. But i'm not 100 percent certain...
Edit: Nope i was wrong...

Thankfully my Laptop s quite good although the place around WASD tends to get hot when playing some games...but i never felt the necessity to use an additional cooler as of yet. But i certainly makes sense to use use one if it helps...

Pretty much the same as Fearful. Anything more recent than five years old tends to make mine BSOD on closing a game (not all the time, but quite often), so I decided to give it a try as it does seem to be worse when I don't make an effort to leave the vent uncovered. Pretty pleased so far as it's very quiet and seems to be keeping it cool.

I have been told that Dragonfall is better, but I'm enjoying the original anyway.

Oh I feel your pain there. Last year when the summer sale started I bought one of the games at a standard 50% off discount, only to find out later that it was part of the up to 80% off flash deals. Of course it wasn't at retail discount, but I had a similar feeling, especially since I could have saved like 30% extra if I waited :P

I also think that the Summer Sale could begin on Friday too. Last year's Summer Sale began on a Friday. (and people were panicking for a bit that there wasn't a weekend promo, lol) We'll have to see....

Oh, and how's your day Crow?

I can see the point of such a cooler and i might need a similar cooler soon....and i actually never had a BSOD after closing a game. My laptop is now about 2,5 years old and it mostly plays the games i'd like to play...not mentioning the Wicher 3 of course ;)...

Yeah, you've gotta love when that happens and you sit there thinking that you just left money on the table.

Figuring that it'll be this week based on what Ciris said, but it could be any of the days.
Along with that, D4 comes out on Friday, so that'll be 15 dollars out of my sale budget.

Doing okay, aside from falling asleep at my desk one more time.
Just downloading stuff primarily, need to pick a game so I can focus on that.

How's the day going for you?
Hmm Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter is nearing 50 % of the asked sum after less then 9 hours....

Fine. I've held out on downloading the last game I want to download because we might visit the relatives' house with faster connection this weekend. I'd just do it on my connection, but it's a 2+ GB game.

That makes sense. Might as well make use of better speed when you can get it.
Downloading Gray Matter now and it's 6.5. Needless to say, it's taking a bit.
So they're showing Dredd on TV. It's the third time I'm watching it and it's still bloody good.

I'm kinda sad it failed in the box office. I know it didn't flop but it didn't succeed either. I would have loved to see a Dredd trilogy, with the angel gang and Judge Death.

Yeah, it made the Stallone movie look even more ridiculous by comparison.
