j0ekerr: Hurm. the thread urges you to watch movies? That's weird, it urges me to do things with knives.
The biggest pain of reading books on a lcd screen is glare. That problem becomes moot on an e-ink display.
I have to say I don't find it inconvenient moving back and forth through the file on the nook.
Well Endre talked about Young Frankenstein...i thought about re-watching Cabaret....
Sounds logical....never tried a proper e-book reader thus far....although i'm currently thinking of getting a tablet which could maybe substitute an e-book reader....
Maybe it depends on the model...

ElTerprise: Hm interesting. The thread urges us to watch movies ;)

No..not too much....maybe slightly.. ;)

Only read ebooks on my smartphone thus far and that was a pain - i guess aside from the bigger display it's not much better :)
Agreed. I love "real" books :)

Biggest problem with my Nook is the way it clobbers anything with color illustrations, I have to go to my other tablet if I want color pics/drawings.

In my experience, they're usually collective hysteria, and/or lots of booze.

Well it's an e-ink device. It's designed for monochrome text.
Unless you're talking about a Nook HD or something?

I read manga on it though.

Nope, it's the very original e-ink one. I know it won't show the pics properly but it messes up the formatting too. That's why I use the tablet for things like that.
Well as much i like that the thread is alive again - i'm really tired and will go to sleep now. Wish you all a good night and see you later :)

Night ElT, sleep well.
Good Morning!
Took "a nap" ... that lasted about 6-7 hours :)
Well, I got that zombie game downloaded at least... my bastard child, the result of a shameful affair with the hustler Steam :P

Thank you :) ... and good night!

dammit, left alone... to fix a controller issue with dead rising 2... *sobs a bit*

*goes to attempt more fixing with head held high*

Good morning. =)

Not sure what's happening with your controller, but I hope it can be fixed so you can enjoy the game.
Hello Crow, hello super if you've survived the controller crash and the left alone-ness.

GoG wouldn't let me in today, very strange error I got when I logged in. Then I found I could see my library and wishlist, but couldn't post or chat.

Finally gave up before I got too cross, and went off to do other things. Now that my internet time is up, it works perfectly.
Sigh

Hope you all have a great day / evening.

Yeah, not sure either! :) but it's alright... the game looks alright and not too annoying to play with mouse+keyboard... it's just that I find it hard to give up trying to get the controller recognized - a common problem it seems :)

Did you beat Lost Vikings already?

Good morning! ... argh.. hope that doesn't happen again...
Well at least the 'staff was notified' ... maybe it was a bug and they'll fix it...
Hope you are doing good otherwise!

Well, that's good, at least. It always sucks when you grab a new game and there's some problem that prevents you from playing it.

No, not yet. Got very tired of having to redo the same parts of the last level repeatedly. Going to be getting back to it in a bit.

Okay. Yeah a nice good break in a situation like that can do wonders :)
Finally, fixed the controller issue - all I needed was a certain beta version of x360ce and then some tweaking - no other version apparently does the trick, lovely ;)
I'm also taking a break from Planescape - man that dialogue was getting to me :) ... after half a day fighting zombies should be enough to get me back into the planes...

Just finished it off. No more breaks, another item for the corpse pile.

Very cool. =) Some games work better with mouse/keyboard, but trying to use that setup for games originally meant for controllers can get awkward.

-laughs- Yeah, the text in that one is very, very heavy. Speaking of breaks working wonders...;)
