How much of your GOG backlog have you completed?

13.6% ... *ahem* :-|

Can't say for only gog, for all games:
Slightly over 40% :D

10%, I think. So you win!
Just as long as you don't read Moon showing off with her 40%. :-)

WHEN DID GOOD&FRUITY CHANGE THEIR FORUMLA!?!

These things are half the size they used to be and the centers are all soft. They used to be like licorice.

You are making us look bad >:-p

When including Steam and my physical collection... It's 22.7% (too lazy to figure out bundles though :-p)

But... you asked :-(

*sad*

Since you people are mean, I'll go.
*sad good night waves* No you are not getting hugs! ;-)

Awwww, please don't go, I didn't mean it. *tries to hug Moon before she goes*

I guess I will just have to sit here and cry until Moon forgives me. :'-(

*please forgive me hug*

So if I were to showcase a story, should it get its own thread on GOG.com? I haven't seen anyone do this before, so that's why I'm asking.

I was just being silly. It was a compliMoont :'-O

*sad and lonely goodnight wave* :'-(

Hm even if i include all my steam games and i' guess all other games i finished in the pre-digital era when we had to use semaphores to communicate over great distances i don't think i'll reach 40% :D
Makes kinda sense when i negate all my progress by expanding the library xD

Edit: Oh wow i'm slow at replying - took me over 15 minutes O.o....oh well having ca. 20 tabs open might have its downsides xD

I absolutely love that he created this massive, lived in world. Even down to shaping a myth culture for said world AS WELL as a history both factual and... um epistemological? (not quite sure it's the word I'm looking for but I'll roll with it). I'm guessing what I mean is that there's a "history" as well as entire "other" history as told / experienced / passed down, which ALSO represents the chronologial and actual historical events.

I remember the first time I read the Silmarillion. I had always heard it was a bit plodding and disjointed. Oh my gosh I fell in love with it right off the bat. I mean it starts as anear Biblical genesis story, or a polytheistic creation myth. I was reminded of the stories of... (damn have to search this - the Hindu "first man" that is divided into parts to become the gods...*) And then promptly rolls into this epic retelling of ages of the major events of Middle Earth (and beyond).

I should reread this soon it's been too long.

*EDIT TO ADD

Prajapati! That was it! And while it DID (does?) exist in Hindu culture, the representation I was thinking of was actually the original Vedic one.

People make threads for all reasons, I think some have shared their works on a thread as well. So I don't think many would mind. I say many as there are always a few who might, but on the whole I don't think people would mind at all. But that is just my opinion.

That is good to know. I should see if people are interested in a new kind of story and whatnot then. Thanks for the answer. Anything more to add on, people?

I agree, I really love the world he created. He has so much back story to his world and his characters, sadly most of it is in his notes and will never be released. Due to all this information some of his novels can be hard reading, I know many are put off the Silmarillion due to the amount of information it is trying to put across. But like you I loved it when I read it, and I was just thinking of the Bible like feel to the start of it.

He had quite the effect on C.S. Lewis as well, even to the extent of influencing Lewis' religion. Both I think wrote very nice worlds based on our world, although Lewis tends to put more religious undertones in his novels, but never to an extend I thought was bad like some accuse him of. In fact, I really doubt many young readers or those not up on theology would even notice due to the way he wove them into his plot.

You're thinking of Good & Plenty, probably.
Or Mike and Ike.
