Now we're talking!
Papers, Please in windowed mode, so I can still use the forums :-)

Stay off my lawn you goshdarn'd whippersnapper or I'll clobber you with my 8-track deck and finish you off by dropping a PC-5150 on your head.

Okay, I'm not that old, but I can still use an old oversized casette boombox on you, and hit you with a PS/2 30. And believe me when I say this. The casing on those were real IRON.

Hey everyone! Good morning.

So.. Hyper lives in the Vatican City and is over 80.... are you the pope Hyper? :)

I think I'm the second youngest so far then.. only 24 here, although I've been going on 40 since I was about 10 so I've never really felt 'young'.

I tried to upload a picture of one of my pizzas for EndreWhiteMane, but the one's on my phone are too big for GoG.

That is one image I'd like to see, a member of the Roman Curia playing dungeon keeper and laughing with manic glee as his imps obliterate another invading hero.

Cardinals are only allowed to play monk class in Diablo 3.

EDIT: I just noticed, I'm finally at 50. WOOHOOO!!

Nope... it's about environment, new regulation... that kind of stuff :-| No owls. No vikings.

Good morning, Agent !!
We'll do our best to take your mind off it... electro-convulsive therapy ? wow. Sounds terrible :-|


Oh yeah, you're so young !! :D you might be our youngest fellow here...

Nahhhh, there's always someone younger! :P Good luck giving your lecture, by the way!

And despite everything, I hope everyone is at least looking forward to Christmas, even if only for the free time. A chance to catch up on some of that backlog! :)

Papers please can be soul crushing (to me). Try something more colourful and cheery. Have you tried Trine? I've said it before... but: SCENERY PORN! The game feels like a constant bukkake-fest RIGHT ON THE FACE.

It's noon now, gotta do some other stuff, If you'll excuse me.

You've just reminded me I also still need to play this game. From what I've seen so far, it does look great, so maybe I should get to it over the holidays.

Sorry to hear that. Let's hope the thread will become more active and the silliness can start and we can see if it helps you feel better.

I must say, I'm liking the homepage now it is free of the bundles and flash sales. I just wish we had a few more appealing new releases. I wonder if people will get their Christmas wish and a few more Star Wars games will be released ready for Christmas.

Okay, I just have to say: We just got back from watching The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies.

Peter Jackson is a huge, huge asshole.

>.<

I have an entire lengthy rant about elves, and Legolas, and badly-written original characters who are magical Mary Sues, and timelines, and..... yeah. I understand that book-to-movie is not easy, I really do. But the first Hobbit movie was good. The second one? Was okay.

This one?

*insert incoherent swearing here*

ETA: My opinion of Tauriel.

Good morning!

A party on the grumpy old gamer's (GOG's) lawn sounds great. Let's see how much damage we can do before the old dears wake up and chase us off with their walking sticks. :-)

Oh oh. I'm going to see it tomorrow. Oh well, I've got a cinema subscription thingy, so I'll only be paying two euros or so to see it.

I guess many things suck because they stretched one book into three 3-hour films. That's just way too much, and it forces them to make up new things all the time.

Good morning, friendly owl.
Luckily I was asleep during the procedure. Still, the side effects were rather unpleasant. I have a lot of memory problems because of it.

Very... uhh... colorful description. I've tried Trine, but I don't think I'm in a mood for that. I think I might go with some good old Tropico 1. Island management has helped me out of bad moods before.

(Side note to everyone - My typing is painfully slow today. Sorry if it takes a long time to write replies.)

The biggest problem isn't that they made it into multiple movies - although the original plan of two would've worked far better - but that they threw timelines out the window, added in stuff that was mentioned in passing IN LORD OF THE RINGS as having happened a century *before* The Hobbit, and added a very badly-written original character and an unneeded (and unwanted) romantic angle.

Be prepared for a 2.5-hour movie, about 1.5 hours of which is the titular battle, and at least a third of the movie is actually about elves. Which is a problem in a story that, y'know, wasn't actually about them at all.

Durin's sons do not get their due.

I waited for something like five or six years to see this movie, from the first announcement that the movies were being made. I feel like I completely wasted my time anticipating this one.

*grumblegrumblegrumble*

I liked the first movie. I was disappointed with the second. I'm pretty infuriated with the third. Legolas is a HUGE issue, especially as he steals quite a bit of thunder from the dwarves in the final battle. (My husband had to put up with a LOT of grumbling and "WTF??!?" during the battle, almost all of it centered around Legolas and Thranduil. And Tauriel. Let's not forget Tauriel. -.-)
