Yezemin: Good evening, thread of Fred!

*exhausted hugs*

I've just realised part of my game collection has gone missing. :(
avatar
Ixamyakxim: All your base are belong to us?
Nope. Part of my physical collection. I went to check if one of my Dungeon Hack copies has German language and couldn't find the one that was most likely to have it. Unlimited Adventures, Planescape: Torment, Discworld Noir, Knights of Xentar, Monkey Island 3, Sam & Max Hit the Road, Theme Park World, Runaway and Warcraft 3 + Frozen Throne are also missing. And I have no idea where they could be. I'm 100% sure I neither sold them nor gave them away.

:-( ... You mean physical games? or digital?
Evening, Agent.

Physical games. See above.

Ooh that sucks - hopefully you manage to find them. Here's hoping they ended up in a different box that wound up somewhere odd in the house / cellar / attic / whatever.

I hope so, too. My dad promised to help me look tomorrow.

Ah *phew* I bet it's a case of third party "relocation and forget-ification" ;)



Oh just remembered I had a game related story I've been dying to share for a few days now. I went to hook up a controller to my PC (first time EVER!) so naturally I figure I'll use the old 360 controller - it's been doing little more than gathering dust for a while now.

First issue: I spend 20 minutes trying to stop this thing from turning on my Xbox from three rooms over. I do EVERYTHING - I HAVE to be missing something, right? Mind you, this controller hasn't turned on the Xbox in ages. Eventually I learn THERE IS NO WAY TO DESYNC A CONTROLLER FROM AN XBOX.

Let me repeat - NO WAY TO DO IT. The only solution is to crawl behind and unplug the freaking Xbox LOL. How does that happen?

So anyway, I download drivers, check, good to go right? No! I spend ANOTHER like half hour trying to figure out what's going on - installing / uninstalling drivers, mucking with settings, nothing! Finally go online...

... the cord for the wireless controller carries NO digital information. It is STRICTLY a means to deliver power to charge the controller. Ah! Who designs that? I guess it saves a few bucks but wow imagine if a phone or camera USB charger DIDN'T deliver data as well.

So I guess I need a weird little dongle thing that receives the wireless controller signals? Or to track down a wired controller. Or just not FINALLY use a controller - I've made it this far ;)

I have my beautiful hot pink Xbox controller (OFFICIAL, mind you!) and for years I've always thought the damn USB charge cord doubled as a data stream and I could just plug it in.

So I either have ditch my controller and track down a wired one, or get another piece of junk to sit on my desk area. Or not have access to a controller (like I said, I *guess* I've gone this far... but I always liked thinking I had the option :( ).
A quick little hello to All Folks Fred. I hope you're all doing well! The lady and I just spent a bit of time with Dungeons 2, which is incredibly fun. The first pc game we ever played together was Dungeon Keeper 2, and this reminds us both a lot of that, only much prettier (and quite amusing.)

Oh, and please hit the green button anytime you see DampSquib around for being so awesome and sneak-attacking me with a gift recently. :)

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Might as well get a wired one, at least you won't have to pick up the wireless one every time. :P
Aaand... I missed act of war... Because of course I did

In other news, I tried Killer is dead. After some initial problems with the controller not being detected. I played a bit of it.

WTF is going on? Was all I could think.

Picking up some gifts to add to my current giveaway and just curious, did all of you Fredidites get a chance to snatch up Jotun? How about the D&D bundle? I was honestly quite surprised that the former showed up so many more times in this sale than the latter.

*big hugs and waves all around*


I hope you're all doing well, and that you have a wonderful weekend!

akhliber: How about the D&D bundle?
There were A LOT of happy people in the tracker thread when that one showed up. I didn't have the heart to say it earlier, but I really didn't think it was coming around again LOL (lucky for me it's not one I'm interested in - blasphemy I know ;) ).

Seems like most were able to nab it! And enjoy your weekend too!
Well, that took way, way, way, way too fucking long to complete. Very glad I'm back after all that bullshit.
