All of this Mac-negative conversation is now receiving some payback - I'm getting alerts for Mac game updates. Imagine life without all of the crap that finds its nefarious way in.... Oh, bliss...

'bout plucking time. One less monster walking (errr... no joke intended there) around.

Oh, and good evening.

That sounds tasty. Thanks for sharing :)

Yup got them all day ;)
Absolutely agree on the Pistorius case....
and good evening ... *big twug*
How are you doing?

That bad, eh? ;-)

so how many of you did gamble their sale money away already?

At most, I can go with that plan for today. Still have enough time overall to make everything presentable. (I keep saying I'll have a massive party when no one's around, but it never seems to happen...)

Also read that, was pleasantly surprised. I thought that court case was over and done with.

He's a good writer, very enjoyable. Have read his site and watched his crew's Spoiler Warning Let's Plays for years now.

Tricky. If you push, you could end up staring at the ceiling, more tired than you were when you started.
Presumably because Bethesda took some of that same visual style and applied it to their own game?
A person would have to be incredibly silly to do such a thing. With 50 games, you have a base 2 percent chance of getting something. That doesn't factor in additional negative probabilities like certain items' amounts being exhausted.

Well said. :-) Although I've just read with concern that the sentencing is going to be referred back to the original judge to decide. Unbelievable. Apparently there's a fifteen year minimum sentence for murder in South Africa. I wonder how far she'll screw up this time.

*return twug*
I'm tired... Just tired. The past 7 days have been really mentally exhausting for me. Wanting to just hide under a pile of blankets for a couple days, but I can't do that. I always try to keep smiling (I don't force it - I'm just naturally a smiley person) but some days lately, it gets brutally difficult to keep it up. I'm doing okay at the moment at least - just finally crashing into bed, and hopefully all the built-up exhaustion will knock me out fairly effectively soon enough.
In short - not bad. 6/10 :-)

i wouldn't call it silly, you just underestimate the power of gambling addiction. that's why gog is offering such things. i find its not good to offer such gambling stuff from a moralical viewpoint.

Actually I haven't spent a dime.

Where are they listing the games that are included in the mystery box?

Since I'm currently stymied in setting up a new desktop computer*, have some forum-subject-appropriate funnies: 24 Posts that Only Gamers Will Understand.

* New desktop + old monitor = initial incompatibility due to resolution issues. Said resolution cannot be accessed via laptop to desktop, so must be done via tv-as-monitor, but the grandparents are watching tv. Sorta. When they're not dozing. So, HDMI tv connection must be done later - hopefully before the 7 p.m. showing of The Wiz, as I'd like to watch that, but probably not until after 10:00 p.m. when they're both in bed. Unless I can sneak it in during the imminent physical therapist's visit.... On the up side, my Roku is attached to their tv, so I literally just have to stretch a cord and move the desktop about a foot, then load it up and change the resolution so I can unhook it again. Of course, if I try to do that, it will provoke loud complaints from the grandfather. *sigh* I love them, but.... *laugh*

Yeah I know, it's not actually Bethesda, it's a fuckup by the sweepstakes organizer.
But it's such a lazy and facepalm-worthy fuckup.

I see. In that case a *big energising hug* is in order :)
But i hope you'll have time to recharge your energy.

*Extra-big double-thank-you hug* :-) Much appreciated.
