ElTerprise: I think i should replay it at some point although i heard that trying to play it in widescreen might not be the best idea...
I'm not sure, I've never looked into that. I'm usually content to play older games in a smaller window.

tinyE: Kind of a strange tech question, thought I'd throw it out here because it's not really a game breaking bug and I don't want to bother support. :D

Anyone who has played Act of War knows about the horrendous loading times for saved games. Well I noticed if I turn off XP compatibility the load times go to almost nothing, HOWEVER I do get the following error (see attach) when I start the game.

As soon as I click OK the messaged goes away and the game plays great, but I don't want to find out I'm damaging my PC by just skipping over the error.
the enemy tried to execute you but your skills were too high and they failed!
thank you I'll be here all night (until they execute me)
:p

ddickinson: Good day, Owl!

How are you today? Did you enjoy your day off yesterday?

The summer sale is here!

*big happy hugs*
Hey DD !!! Wow you look very excited by this sale :D
I am too... (un)fortunately, I just have been paid... ! :-\
Did you buy some stuff for yourself so far ?...
(Also, how are you doing... Great, I guess :-p)
I'm very good, indeed (since I woke up ; nothing to do with the sale, even if it cheers me up a little more bit, okay, I admit... :-p). And I enjoyed every minute of my day off yesterday, yes, it was great ; thanks !! :-D
**Big happy hug too**

FearfulSymmetry: Thank you very much for the offer! If I'm grabbing it I'll grab everything though, as I already have the two I wanted most (Monkey Island and The Dig). :) Yep, I'm doing well, I finally handed in my thesis! Right now I'm cleaning up my room because I had way too much useless stuff lying around. How are you doing?
Okay then. Pick two more from the LA list and I will work some gifting magic for you. :-)

Glad to hear that you got your thesis handed in. That must be a big relief.

I am doing great. I am making up for all the gifting I missed last time while I was away. :-D

Me too but always look at the possibilty to have in a convenient 16:9 resolution but i'd play them in when it stretches to the resolution :)
Some peeps should be able to finally relax. :-)

Thinking the same.


And good day and happy spending, everyone!

Haha, I just bought the lot! Thank you very much for the kind thought though. ;)

Yes, it really is! I'm super glad I'm finally done with it. ;D

Hello! *big hello hug*

I am very excited, not really for the sale, but I have something lovely planned this evening with my partner, and that has made me all happy and excited (I can't say what it is. It's a secret. :-)). And I think that is helping me get into the gifting spirit.

I did not buy anything for me, I don't really plan to. Although, if I spend a little more on gifts then I unlock a game form my wishlist, so that will be my game from the sale. :-)

I am glad to hear you are doing good and that you had a nice time off yesterday!

*big happy excited hug*

HypersomniacLive: And good day and happy spending, everyone!
Two options for you.

Option 1. Put your wishlist to public during the sale.
Option 2. Send me a list of your top 5 most wanted games.

Special Option 3: If you don't, I will come visit and make you. You know I am crazy enough to do it. :-)

Good day, Hyper! *big happy hug*

FearfulSymmetry: Yes, Jade Empire is really good, it's an excellent RPG. I found it really refreshing because the setting is so much different from what you usually encounter. The soundtrack is super good as well. Combat is geared a bit more towards consoles but it didn't bother me as I was playing. If you want to try it out let me know, I have a rule of giving away at least one copy of Jade Empire everytime it's on sale.
That does sound good, thank you for the information!

And you're very generous. :) But please, if you're giving it away, give it to someone else. I'm sure there's a fan out there who would really love it.

Damn! :-)

That's okay. I will keep an eye on your wishlist just in case something else comes up. :-)

*bug hug*
Received a nice gift from the battle sister (please +1 her if you haven't already), so I'd like to pay it forward:

Mount & Blade: Warband (GOG)

Great open world medieval combat game. If anyone wants it, please reply, then you can check chat. Thanks.

BillyMaysFan59: Good.

Boy, GOG sure surprised me this time. *chuckles*
Yeah, they got me too. But on the bright side (I call it bright now, but be ready for me to have the total opposite opinion and scream with impatience later), I didn't miss any flash-type items.
