So I capitulated and bought The Longest Journey, it was out of my hands really.

I went looking for my old retail copy, and found, that one of the discs was all muddy and spotty (I also found my old copy of Sacred. Wohoo, I didn't even remember I had that!), like the plastic had been scratched and/or tarnished.

It was only one disc though, the other 3 were still pristine.

Still, not taking any chances. Even though I know CDs are far more scratch resistant than we give them credit for. My Manowar CD that I keep in my car has been thrown, thumbed, grabbed, stickied and short of dipping it in motor oil, been through all manners of gross handling, yet it still plays perfectly.

Although that could be due to the sheer METAL AWESOMENESS of its contents.

How many flash titles are cycling over and over? It feels like I'm seeing the same titles every hour now.

That went so far over my head I barely heard it (my fault, not yours - I should follow proceedings more closely). Koala..?

At this point I don't expect to see anything new next month is the Winter/Christmas sale though so hopefully that will be good. :)

You're probably next on its hit-list anyway, so might as well take some preemptive action

It's okay. Watch out for the switchblade, promise it nachos, keep your back pressed against the wall, believe NOTHING they say, then run like hell. Voice of experience here.

(Just being silly, by the way. ;) )

Roight, no worries mate. Tho' what about the kangaroo? He seems like a nice enough fella!

Right, got you. It's perfectly simple, like if you're not getting your hair cut, you don't have to move your brother's clothes down to the lower peg. You simply collect his note before lunch, after you've done your scripture prep, when you've written your letter home, before rest, move your own clothes onto the lower peg, greet the visitors, and report to Mr. Viney that you've had your chit signed.

You've sold yourself short. That makes perfect sense. =)

Phew, that's a relief. For a minute there I thought I was losing the plot.

With the exception of several games on my wishlist I'm pretty much done with the sale. Can't wait for the Winter Sale! Hoping Arx Fatalis gets discounted.

No worries. It's only in New Game Plus that Mr. Viney comes back with the extra tentacles. The last name was kind of a spoiler in hindsight, but that scene with the chainsaw-wielding Girl Scouts totally made up for it.

So the next move, when the caretaker accidentally ate that squirrel, was completely erroneous...

They are until the say hello. :P
