Tarnicus: HAHA! Did you feel like you were experiencing deja vu?

bluey83: lol yes but was very curious for a while why people were complaining about Time Commando still being up for sale .... :P
lmao the irony of Time Commando being the game too!

Alien8n: I nearly broke my hand a year ago (popped the knuckle on my little finger and tore the tendons as far as I can tell) and made the discovery that I'm immune to every painkiller that can be bought with a prescription. Including codeine :/

Thankfully I also have a high pain threshold. As discovered over the course of several tattoos over the last 25 years...

Tarnicus: I've got a decent pain threshold - full contact sparring, thinking my fists were made of steel when I was younger and multiple dental extractions where I could feel everything and also a similar naturally high tolerance to opiates and benzodiazepines.

Having atypical trigeminal neuralgia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgia) was the worst pain I've ever experienced well and truly! There is a reason it is known as the suicide disease. Painkillers are useless on it and I was a guinea pig for anti-convulsants which were horrid so I tried to put up with it. Fortunately since I got lucky with 1 medication I haven't had it return since 2010 I think it last was.
Oh jeez, so you understand about nerve pain! I've been dealing with extreme nerve damage in my back all the way down to my toes for over two years now. There were certain times that I couldn't even walk before I had back surgery to remove some exploded disc tissue that was impinging on the nerve, aggravating the issues that I already have with my pars defects and bad nerve placement.

Luckily I can function mostly due to being on very high dosages of oxycodone daily. I lack health insurance at the time while the government figures out technical problems (I applied online in January and still haven't been able to get me set up yet!), so I can't have the much needed tests to due surgery again so I'm just in pain limbo. But if I didn't have the pain meds I wouldn't be able to walk I'm sure of that.

Thankfully, all though my tolerance for both pain and the drugs are very high, my doctors are good enough to prescribe me high enough levels to actually allow me to function. The pain was so bad that it would cause hallucinations. Nerve pain is worse than actually physically possible (as in no amount of real physical pain can come close, not even child birth, amputation or gun shots).

I have thought many times of getting my leg amputated so that I don't have to feel this any longer.

Just under 3½ hours in the second round, same as Alan Wake's American Nightmare. (Tuesday 5:39:17 UTC - 9:05:14 UTC, to be more exact)

KaelAlucard: Two things I have noticed while waiting for the next sale.
1. There are a lot of people with Cat avatars or Catvatars (Bad pun is bad).
I noticed this as well. It's making my fish avatar a bit nervous...

krisbeattie: I feel pretty silly buying Gomo for $8 for my GF a few months back now that ive watched it on sale for $1.59 forever now
avatar
BlackThorny: did she like it? I'm thinking about it for my girlfriend too, is there any dialouge in this game?
There is no dialogue in the game and no text to read. The characters just mumble in a "fantasy language" which is pretty funny IMO.

Artoemius: So, how long was the original Keaning anyway? I've seen people citing 4.5 hours, but that's not so impressive since it has already been surpassed by Time Commando in this round. Was Jack really the most Keaneous of all Keanes?
It was 5 hours...
... for 100 copies.

Waiting for two games that I sadly missed on the prior rounds. Just to be sure I get them:
As soon as I press Buy Now, they are mine? Or do I have to complete the checkout?
Just to know how fast I have to be.
Thanks!

011284mm: For anyone who read about my gf's furbabies a few pages back I have an update to laugh at.

She spent all evening cooing them and worrying that they are not eating, drinking or moving enough. I kept telling her that they need to adjust to us here in their new home, that they are just a little scared.
Eventually she stops mollycoddling them and goes to bed only for our French house guest (a friend of hers who has been here a week and will remain another) returns from his day out at about 9pm. He makes a ton of noise and is cooking whilst singing, so he is happy. He did not even notice her poor babies when he arrived as he was too interested in eating.
Anyway she comes running downstairs to tell him to stop as her babies need to sleep. All the while they had been happily going about in the indoor cage eating their carrots and hay without any issue, they do not seem to mind us so long as we remain behind the bars where we belong.

Anyway he tells her he will add them to his dinner as they look so edible. He goes and gets the little one out and it makes a run for it, she intervenes and between them it makes a dash out of his hands, drops ~2 feet lands on its feet and makes a dash for it under our kitchen cabinets.
It took her about 5 minuets to "rescue" the poor baby who now has to sleep in her room with her to keep it safe. As for our house guest he thinks it was all a hoot. He wont in the morning, but he does not know that yet - I wont spoil the surprise either.
Anyway I did not even move from my chair where I am watching the sale and the forum, so I will now be sleeping on the couch to avoid further upset and to watch for my last game.

Not a bad night, but our guest needs to learn not to upset a mother and her babies! :) :)
Thank you for sharing that :)
