Wow. And I complain about my lack of sleep :-D lol
I won't say no to another mug of coffee either :)

I have never been a fan of coffee. I know most people love it, but I can't stand the taste.

I'm used to it.

Good thing you don't mind coffee, since that's pretty much always available here. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 3 am or 2 in the afternoon, there's always coffee.

Not a bad promo this week, IMO. I own all but three of them, but then I do love point-and-click/adventure games. :-)

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. Didn't mind Dark Crusade, thought the extra abilities gained and the gimmick missions like having to fight through an ork horde on limited resources were good, but that started to feel like a grind.

And in their infinite wisdom, the developers decided to make it all even more of a grind.
Example -
In Dark Crusade, the points you capture on each map are retained after victory.
In Soulstorm, they are not. Aside from garrison units and buildings, you have to run through the whole song and dance of capturing the points one by one every single time.

Also, have been noticing that there are times that the AI kinda goes nuts and forgets what unit caps are supposed to be. Spent 40 minutes trying to fight off waves of Tau that would keep coming from all sides as soon as I'd put one down.

Haha, I forgot you also have pigs... :-)
Aren't you snowed under with all your animals to take care of... ?


May I offer you a cup of tea, then ? :-D


Sounds great :-D I drink too much coffee too.
Hi, Gunsynd !! :) How are you doing ?

-laughs- Funny you mention that. I also own all but three of them, and only one's on my list, and as a low-priority item at that.
But like you said, if someone likes such things but doesn't have a lot, they should be able to clean up pretty well.
Good evening. =)

How's your day been?

Fine,Thankyou Lady Owl:-)

I didn't see the weekend promo...
I heartly recommend the Blackwell series, Back to the Future, Sam & Max series and Tales of Monkey Island, to all those who love (old) adventure point & click games !!! :-)

Add to that the Tex Murphy series (keeping in mind that Mean Streets doesn't play well with Windows 8 and Overseer is even crankier, being listed as XP/Vista only), Waxworks and Personal Nightmare (just because they're horror adventure games, a woefully under-represented sub-genre).

Also, if someone wants Tesla Effect but has limited bandwidth, I'd say buy now and download during a month that you've got a surplus, because that game is BIG. (Something like 15.2 gigs if I remember correctly.)

I had avoided Soulstorm so far because of all the bad things I have heard about it, and also because it is hard to find DRM-free.

I would love some tea. I have a flask of it with me now. :-)

The pigs actually belong to a neighbouring farm, but they are getting a bit too old for it all, so we agreed to look after them if they pay the pigs keep. We used to have lots more animals than we do now (not that we don't still have lots of them :-)) - we used to have animals for slaughter. But this year we are trying to get by on just crops and use what animals we have for renewable things (like milk, eggs, wool, etc.). We still have lot's of animals though, which are very hard work, it's not much different to when we had more for slaughter. The market for meat is getting quite bad recently (no thanks to EU regulations favouring corporate farms over local run farms, and them trying to force stupid regulations on us, but I won't go into that), and so it was getting more and more expensive to keep animals for slaughter. So we decided to try things growing extra winter crops. It's a big gamble, and if it doesn't work out okay this year we will go back to keeping animals for slaughter.


What three don't you own, if you don't mind me asking? I don't own Personal Nightmare, Simon the Sorcerer 3D, and A Golden Wake. They do interest me a little, but not enough to make me buy them. I would probably not end up playing them if I did buy them, so I will wait until I have my backlog completed and then maybe see about them.

It is ok, work is a bit stressful at the moment that is much better than it being boring so I am not really complaining about it :D

*welcome hug* I have the feeling I will be getting sick since my head is hurting since yesterday. But hopefully just doing nothing this weekend will help.

Good morning *hug* Hope you are doing fine :-)

hey :-) *hug?* how was your day?

I see your still stalking around with your coffee,not bad starting to tire out.Not that,that makes much difference.Head hits pillow toss and turn for a couple of hours,finally get to sleep and the cats from next door decide they wan't to have a blue under the window:-)

Hey everyone.

I've never really been a fan of adventure games so there's nothing there for me, but a nice promo nonetheless.

And since Star Wars is still the topic of choice on the site, the latest xkcd is quiet fitting :D
