Heretic Kingdoms.

I'm like a dragon: i'm hoarding games that i don't know if i'll have time to play. :\

Humans Must Answer.

NOOOOOO. Don't say that!

Way to go Dragon ; - ) I think we all have games we've purchased here that we may never get to play.

PS do Dragon's hoard games? ha ha

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

I do the same thing all the time on these special offers on the basis of "although I don't like these types of game or, I'm totally crap at games like this but, this one might be different" theory.
It hardly ever works that way and I end up buying another game I don't enjoy or don't have the time or perseverance (because I'm playing the games I do like) to work at the learning curve.

I'm back online, so thank you to anyone that may have been looking out for Torchlight for me.

I've gone back and removed my post requesting that someone buy a gift code.

So are we up for Police Quest or random next?

:-)

It seems GOG has been keeping track of the slowest movers since they have reduced their copies in later rounds. We'll see if this still applies to Humans Must Answer, Alan Wake Nightmare or Tomb Raider AoD...

If you're impulse buying, try to remember to order the games as a gift and gift it to your own email. Then if you later want to play it you can redeem it, and if you get buyer's remorse you can convert that into giver's satisfaction by giving it away as a gift. See Tarnicus's post (post4982 in this thread, I'm too newbie to post links I guess?) for resources on that.

Grimrock is selling like hotcakes. I don't need it, and thought of buying one to give but apparently there are many of you online who stayed up for it and want it? So enjoy those last 100 copies.

Finding balance is a constant challenge for me still but that's just part of life for many of us. I came across this(see attachment) recently when having a struggling moment and it make a lot of sense to me about life, purpose and existence :)

Spending a lot of my youth in pubs, being homeless and talking to people from all walks of life(in particular what many would view as "lower class" for lack of a better term after having a financially privileged upbringing) taught me how similar each of us are, and how important sharing stories can be very valuable to healing. It also taught me that a little compassion goes a long way, something I was seriously lacking(for humans, never other animals).

I learned that "good" people do "bad" things just as "bad" people do "good" things, and that a little understanding, sharing and love goes a long way to helping others become more...for lack of a better word, complete. I use that word because for so much of my life I felt "broken" and others I've talked to who went through similar or worse abusive experiences often mention a similar feeling.

I also understand both of my parents a lot better now, in particular my mother after learning what her childhood experiences were like and realising that both of my parents did the best they could with the tools(ie knowledge and life experience) they had at the time. Seeing myself act harshly to those I loved, as both of my parents had towards me, was a real eye-opener for me.

We can only hope.... xD

I'm sure HMA is a fine game, the only problem is it's a shmup. Most shooter fans already have one of the holy trinity (Raiden, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga) already, and if you do there isn't much reason to get anything except one of the other two. If you've all three, you're already golden.

It could be worse, you could hoard games you KNOW that you don't have time to play them.
