Empress_Owl: Hum... ok. Let's not worry then :)
Yes, I tried "puzzle agent", which is a funny silly little puzzles game... I didn't play for a very long time.
Monday I tried "Metro"(but I'm terrible at FPS) and played a bit of "Never Alone", which is a beautiful and peaceful game.
That is good. :-)

Me and my partner played Never Alone not too long ago. We completed the base game and the expansion. It is a very lovely game, and quite fun, especially when played co-op. The educational parts of it are nice as well. I don't think it is for everyone, and it might be a bit expensive given the short length and not-so-polished gameplay, but I really liked it There is one part that is really sad, but I won't talk about it as it is a spoiler if you have not seen it yet.

ddickinson: Is that a Star Trek reference?

avatar
FearfulSymmetry: No, I haven't. I've seen some animated things outside Disney, but I missed out on a lot and haven't quite caught up yet. It's a good film, then? :)
avatar
ddickinson: Don Bluth makes some really good cartoon, often with nice adult themes in there as well. As for The Last Unicorn, I want to say yes it is good, but I have not seen it for years, so I could be just using nostalgia goggles on it. But I think it is a good movie, nothing ground breaking, but very nice with an interesting plot.

avatar
AgentBirdnest: Very classy B-| ... (and honestly, one of the most awkward and out-of-place concepts in a game that is meant to be serious and mature.)

It's the same with movies and TV. Most guys don't want to see penises. I think it makes them insecure about their own sexuality. Like they are afraid they'll turn gay if they see one. We are kinda a silly bunch :-p
avatar
ddickinson: That is when it annoys me the most, when something juvenile is in a game that is supposed to be serious. I mean, in a game like Leisure Suit Larry then okay, but more serious games should not really do such cheap and often childish tricks to appease the teenage gamers.

That is probably right. But according to South Park there are lots of "wieners" in Game of Thrones. :-)

No problem. Most of us guys would just mentally rearrange the image in our minds so that it resembled nothing more than a last ditch holdout weapon against the show's antagonist.

That could be construed to be either a literal or metaphorical interpretation. Or you could just laugh at my joke and call me a DICK.

Agreed.

I've not seen any of Game of Thrones. I do like South Park though- Always good for some inappropriate fun :-p

FearfulSymmetry: Hi! *hug* How are you doing?

I'm pretty good. I just read a few chapters of Lanark and am about to eat some breakfast now.
Glad to hear that - making good progress then?

I'm okay :)

avatar
Empress_Owl: Hummm nope. I'm afraid that wouldn't be enough :)
couci-couça too... :)
I don't know why, I don't feel "happy" today. Physically good, but a bit sad... it will pass !
I see - at least not too bad. But i hope you'll be happy again soon :)

Empress_Owl: **put a bucket at Agent's feet so his tears don't flood the thread**
Thanks a lot :) I'll bother you at any place, so (except in Utah, because it's too far away for me to fly and say hi)
**Owl has been kicked from the game for cheating** (Don't use buckets!! Remember? ;-))
Avec plaisir );-|

Thanks !... I will work on it :)

That sure is a strange place to be keeping a last ditch holdout weapon. :-)

Neither have I. I am not a fan, of the TV series or the books. I know many people love them, but they just never resonated with me. (Plus if I speak too badly about them Moon will be mad as she loves the Game of Throne books, and she especially loves it when someone calls them the incorrect name, like I just did. ;-)).

Empress_Owl: Yes, it's a lovely game, as you said... a sad part ? hum. I'm not there yet...
It was done to introduce a new gameplay mechanic, and I won't mention more as I don't want to spoil anything. But I kind of preferred it before the sad thing happened.

Uhm, well, I'm currently at 25 pages out of 560 ... :) I might read a bit more today, but I also have to do some essay writing. :P

Good to hear that!

I'm curious now...
I'm not very far in the game... swimming underwater actually, and playing with spirits to change the currents...

Late night/mornin' all. *tips hat*

Here at work thinking about why it is I've installed D3 on my new laptop earlier.. Also about how great tea and bed sound right about now. Someone save me. o.o

You are not quite there yet. You will know it when you see it. Oh, and did you know you can miss the insight videos if you are not careful? So be sure to look out and listen for the owls who unlock the videos when you go near them.

**Extra big comforting hug until Moon arrives to let us back in** :-p
There are perks to being kicked though!
**Passes Owl the snails, wine, ice-cream, waffles, and big fluffy sweaters**
