ddickinson: Easter fire? Is that a common thing to do for Easter in your part of Germany?
avatar
ElTerprise: It is. But usually on Holy Saturday. I think it's an old pagan tradition from the Saxons.
And especially Hamburg is really liberal when it comes to Easter fires. Every person is allowed to have one their private property.
I think I like the idea of this. I'm surprised it's not a tradition for later in the Easter season however.

Ixamyakxim: Just a random guess on my part, but given the content of this Insomnia, I COULD see GoG doing a bigger than usual "Easter Themed" Weekend Promo skewed heavily toward oldies rather than newies and indies.
Ooooooo... That would be cool. I'mma go ahead and take this guess as a fact, then get pissed at you if/when it doesn't happen ;-)

That would be great. Seeing big sales here where classics are massively in the minority make me sad.

I'm an idiot - after I typed that I sat here at my computer trying to shoehorn oldies into Easter for about 5 minutes and for the life of me NEVER EVEN CAME CLOSE to coming up with what you ended up with there - which is perfect by the way.

I guess some regions have those fires on Easter Sunday or even Easter Monday...but those know usually start in the evening on Holy Saturday and burn until the morning of Easter Sunday :)

You all set fire to your private property? Why did you not tell Agent, he would be in heaven. :-)
I hope you will have a lovely time.

It's okay. They are starting to defend themselves. :-)

ddickinson: It will probably just be another EA promo even if they did hold a weekend promo. :-)

Did you at least get yourself a nice selection of games from the imitation Insomnia sale?
My wallet says that's okay. My brain says that would frigging suck since I'm sick to death of seeing rehash sales.

I actually did get a pretty good variety of things this time around. Hell, I even got a multiplayer game.

Turnbased? Am I going to have to have to start to put this one on my radar for some late night play sessions?

No, not turn-based. I have a ton of those, but they're all singleplayer, I think. Ended up getting Terraria.

Well i guess it's more fun in a greater group so usually those fires are in bigger gardens. But only when the fire ignited ;)
Thank you - it's usually great :)

Oh *phew* I was worried I might have to start looking deeper into Chaos Reborn.

Followed by a lot of PMs to you like this: "Hey, hey Crow - wanna go again?"

I am glad to hear you got yourself some good games. I am sitting at zero games for myself, and two that I received as gifts from the heartwarming wonderful and generous regulars of the thread.

A nice Easter sale would be nice, a good way to end the Insomnia sale. But who knows with GOG.

Shit...
Now that you've mentioned that, I'm more interested. Looks like it'll cover games with up to 4 people at once, also.

So you find some poor guy with a big garden and then set it on fire? :-)

Hopefully the weather will not spoil it all for you.
