Looks like I haven't hugged you today.
*hugs DD*

Good mornoon!
Thanks :-) *sips coffee*

Dabbling in some different games lately, after week or so of playing nothing at all. Just finished The Shivah (outstanding!) and now I'm in a couple other adventures - TeenAgent (difficult!) and Puzzle Agent (difficult in a good and fun way!) Plus, I am just about to dive back into my Shadowrun.... run. And I throw in some random bits of Terraria all the time, a bit of Volgarr if I want to punish myself, some Kingdom Rush for something casual, and World in Conflict for some nice action-strategy (I'm really enjoying that last one. I've not played anything quite like it.)

How about yourself?

You could always just add some more games? :-)

But don't worry, I will be making sure you get a gift for Christmas. *big hug*

Hello, little Blob! *return hug*

How are you today? How is your eye?

My eye's better and I'm doing quite well.

That is good to hear. How are you liking the sale?

I've been one of the grumblers about sale format each time a new sale comes around, and although I don't like to moan too much (honestly!), I do feel they need to add a bit of life/pace/excitement at times - maybe not for every sale, but once in a while. The server issue is as much a problem as too frequent lacklustre sale events. Likewise the site's many recurring bugs. If the infrastructure was efficient they could do what they wanted with a sale and handle all the traffic that was hurled at them. The way things are is adequate, but I'd want overall performance and my place in the market to be much more than that. Some creativity is required as well as getting rid of the the technical issues for good.

I already bought some games on XBL and PlayStore so I don't have money for this sale.

I've got to give Ethel a quick vacuum, too. She's not complaining too loudly, but I can tell she feels 'soiled' by the dust I've allowed to settle on her. And then there's Gladys on the floor behind me. I think she's sulking because I've swapped her for another, younger model. I can feel this comment getting into areas I'd rather avoid, so I'll stop now...

I completely agree. I was not trying to defend GOG for the site or their lack of creativity and variety in their sales, I was just wondering if the server issue and things were one of the reasons behind them not doing the Insomnia sale again. It would of course be nice to have a mix of sales, especially at this time of year when we have one big sale cut into two with a few weeks gap in between. They could easily do a special sale instead of the Fall sale, then have the regular sale for the Winter sale.

How are your Christmas preparations going so far? Do you do anything nice for Christmas with your family?

But at least you got some new games, so that is nice.

Ha, where does one apply to become a certified SK? ;-P


Don't think I've heard of this before, do tell.


I say this with immense sadness, I'm afraid I'll have to abstain this year. I hoped to have a bit more time to see if I can sort out things at my end, but with the Winter Sale starting this soon, the event is already in full swing. :(


When your customer base grows, your infrastructure and personnel has to start growing with it.



Of course, but they could liven up things a bit, as you say. Doing the same thing over and over again, becomes quite boring, even if the deals are great.

I actually liked that thing with the three boxes they did a couple of years back during the Winter Sale, that was something fun to come back to every day, and it led to the community following it, and going into all sorts of gifting and trades.



*hangs head, walks out quietly*

Got meself both Darksiders games,Red Dead Redemption,LA Noire for the XBox and for my phone I got 3 Dragon Quest games.

Awww. Come back and don't look so sad or I'll need to give you a comforting hug :P

Just wait for the next Mafia game and hope you get that role. :-)

I am not sure I can, I don't know too much about it. I just know some people joke about putting a sleeping person's hand in a bowl of warm water and apparently that can make them wet themselves. But as I said, I don't know if that is true or not, or just some silly game. It would be much easier just to poor the bowl of water over them and make it look like they wet themselves. And much kinder to the victim. :-)

*big comforting hug*

I am not taking part this year either. And I most likely will not anymore. I received such a lovely set of gifts last year that I would not feel right taking part again, even though I will miss gifting a secret victim.

That is completely true, and a very accurate comment. But that requires logic and financial investment, and since when do companies these days do that?

Hello Agent, Lucy, DD, ELT, moon, stilton and sorry if I missed somebody else! :) How are you guys?

It sounds like you have a lot to keep you occupied. Which is your favourite of the games you bought?

Hello!

I am doing okay. How are you?
