The number for Van Helsing is dropping but the orange bar isn't moving. Bug or are they timing it down now?
Post edited March 25, 2016 by EndreWhiteMane
Good morning, lovely people! Our trip to the Department of Motor Vehicles didn't take all day after all, and now we're back home. The lady has the entire day off work, so it'll be a nice day of relaxing and gaming and maybe finding a silly movie to watch together.

To answer Agent's question, I used to frequent LiveJournal years ago, oddly enough. Also the forums for some private Aion server ages back as well. These days the only online communities I'm a regular part of are this one, the head-fi dot org forums (where I only lurk) and also the Vinyl Me, Please forums, where I also only lurk and maybe post every month or so.

Also, please assault the lovely battle sister DD with +1's for being awesome. She snuck me with a gift this morning and really helped start my day on a high note. :)

*hugs and waves all around*

It is moving for me. 24 remaining.

Edit: 22 now.

You are very welcome. And I know I said it in chat, but I hope you and your partner have a lovely relaxing day. *big hug*

I see that, but it started at 50 and didn't start moving till 24. Another "Odd GOG moment". :-)

AgentBirdnest: And a random question for everyone :
Have you been part of another online community? I mean, on a nearly daily basis, like here?
Haha, now I'm getting a trip down memory lane. :P I was active on an anime/manga forum for a year and a half or so, and during that time I made over 25,000 posts. It was really insane. :P I've been active on several other forums over the past few years, but right now I'm only on GOG and one other forum.

Ah, sorry. I did not know that. Maybe the quantity was too hight, an error perhaps?
Thanks for all the answers, everyone :-) Very interesting to read.
I like the one Owl mentioned - combining two totally different hobbies into one community sounds cool!

And good mornoon to those who just showed up in the last hour or so :-)

Well i was quite active in the (old) Paradox forum some years ago. But in comparison not as active as here though :)

The DMV isn't quite the big scary monster I always hear about. I was in and out in 20 minutes a couple months ago :-p
Sounds lovely. Hopefully you both enjoy a relaxing day :-)

unrelated edit : I am not looking forward to my next haircut... I've been losing a lot of hair over the last couple months. Not excited to see how thin it has gotten >:"|

Try not to let the hair loss get to you too much. With all you have been through recently it is bound to take its toll on your body. Hopefully you will keep feeling better and your hair will thicken up. but if not, don't let it get to you. There is nothing wrong with losing your hair, it happens to a lot of guys, and most women don't really mind at all. So don't let how you look worry you too much. Especially when there is little you can do about it. Just embrace who you are and be the best Agent you can be. That is what people will like about you, not your hair.

Oh, and my vote is you get a mohawk haircut. :-)

*big hug*

Awww :-)
It's another side effect of this gogdamn medication. "Instant old age", as one website puts it :-p ... stress and nature aren't helping either. Been noticing quite a lot of hair falling out in the shower lately. Not the most pleasant thing, but... well... C'est la vie. If the worst happens, I've always got some hats lying around ;-p
Thanks for the support and kind words anyway :-) *big hug*

And yeah... I'll tottally go with a mohawk. Maybe a spiky one :-)

I still haven't entirely given up on picking something else from the sale.

The fact that TWAU and Neptunia have been disappeared for 2 days makes me thing they're gone for good.

But I've been eyeing what's still making the rounds and I've seen potential candidates.

I missed Grimrock 2 earlier today. I'm not too sure about it, since I still haven't played the first one. How good is the sequel and how much of an improvement is over the first one?

Act of war looks good enough for a game at that price. But can anyone give me an informed opinion on what I'm going to find if I manage to get it?

Grimrock 2: More variety, much harder at the start than the first was.
Didn't get all too far into it yet due to the aforementioned difficulty.
