omega64: You're not helping. :P
Was I supposed to be? :-)

ddickinson: And any opinions about the other two releases?
I grabbed all three because they seem promising enough at the asking prices. Sea Dogs: Caribbean Tales is apparently an open world game, and I like the protagonist. Konung is from 1C, who makes fun isometric-ish games and is well regarded. And while I know nothing about Evil Islands, it's from Nival, who made the superb Etherlords games, so it is certainly worth a gamble to me.

So there's my rationale for the purchases, at least. :)

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea.

Thank you for sharing. They do look like some fun games.

And also it is nice to see you, I hope you are doing well?

Okay, things that could help it be Friday...

1. Drink, lots of it until you pass out and wake up tomorrow.
2. Drugs? I think animal tranquillisers should do a good job knocking you out until tomorrow. :-)
3. Some enjoyable entertainment (books, games, etc) that will make the time fly by.
4. Some wonderful company to help pass the time with?
5. We could smack you on the head and cause you to pass out until tomorrow? But that one might be a bit painful.

Did I miss anything? :-)

ddickinson: I think I will do that as well at some point. Not sure if I will get them, but I will have a little look. See anything from the promo that you like?
A whole buncha sequels to games that I haven't played yet, and have no idea if I'll like them :-p Other than that, nothing jumps out that I don't already have.

I can't say I approve of this "Death to Spies"... I think we need to be nicer to spies and other Agent-like people ;-p
Nice to see that $5.99 price tag again, some very nice games too. Plus a huge weekend sale, and tomorrows payday. :-)

1. I don't drink.
2. Let's not.
3. I would if I was home. Still watching an Anime.
4. I'd need to find someone. :P
5. Pass, too painful.

At least you tried to help this time. Thank you. :)

Hey you get to play an agent there - "During the war these agents became the main force..."
And it's not death to all spies or agents, so I'm sure you're safe - only the "bad" ones :P
But more seriously - it's a game I wish someone would try and give an opinion about, since my gut feeling is it's a great game - anyhow I own the base game already.

Hoooo, well that doesn't sound too bad :-)
I've got it in my Steam backlog... Maybe I'll give it a go soon. I mean... Agents! How could it not be good? ;-p

But they are driving up demand for Agents, just think of the extra money you will make once you are the only one left. :-)

See anything you like from the promo or new releases?

But on the bright side, it is closer to Friday than Wednesday, so you are nearly there. Then it is just one more day until the weekend.

And yet you hide your wishlist and don't tell us which games... meanie. :-p

Overall yes, thank you. A bit of seasonal respiratory issues, but life is grand in general. :)

And very nice to see you here too, hope things are going better for you these days.

That is good to hear, although I am sorry about those seasonal respiratory issues. But it's nice to hear things in general are grand.

Thank you. Things are definitely getting better for me. My health is not improving as quickly as I would like, but any improvement is good, so I can't really complain.
