We have a very large but diverse thread to socialise - it's called "Community: General discussion". ;-P

And with this smarty-pants statement, I'm off to bed.

Good night everyone

(>.<) zzZ

Nothing to say we can't play in here after the sale finishes. Have you seen the Fall Insomnia thread? ;-)

Good point! Also, just because the sale has flat-lined doesn't mean the surprises need to end, right? Check your PMs, m'lady!

Well, got side-tracked today by family; it turned into a chore-day. Then I had dinner and passed out, and just am now waking up (only 1am here). >,<

So, to pick up where I left off earlier (I guess it officially wasyesterday now):


No worries - not keeping score here. Just wanted to give a friendly hello! :-) Now, I guess one "Good morning!" is being followed up with another one ( >,< )!


It IS! Never thought I would see the day...


Yep - you Mid-Westerners with your messed-up weather... 'course, that of the Ohio River Valley is no picnic either. Sometimes the seasons come all within a single 24-hour span!

Anyway, thought this might be a good time to take a tally of this sale's outcome:

Compared to prior sales I did not purchase as much but it is still a very productive haul. Just glad I was able to finally catch that elusive Dreamfall towards the end there. :-) It was finally at a price-point that made it worth getting (for me anyway). Debating whether I should re-play the original just to refresh myself on the story line and associated details (finished it when it first came out) prior to starting the sequel.

Didn't think you were. Good morning/evening as well. =) Maybe I just wanted to warn you that another digital POS might end up in your message box in the near future....maybe it still bugs me that you already had Fahrenheit so I couldn't inflict it on you....or maybe you're just a cool person and I didn't want you to feel like you weren't worth receiving a welcome with a gift involved, so I wanted to at least mention it.
Pick whichever one you prefer. -laughs-

No such thing as a digital POS. For folks like us it is either for the collection or collected AND played. :-)

Edit: Or, we buy to play and then decide it is best left in the collection category. ;-)

Oh, there are TOTALLY digital POS's. Fahrenheit, for example....
We're just the ones who disregard that fact in order to include them in collections or, gods help us, actually play them to experience the horror firsthand.

You are sorely tempting me to pop that sucker in right now just to see if it really is...

Now laughing my ass off....
Oh yeah....put that on. It's really....something, all right.
I was going to point out some of the....highlights....? But if you haven't been spoiled by a Let's Play or whatever, I won't be the one to ruin the....fun?....of your blind run and uninfluenced impressions.
Well, aside from me bitching about/laughing at it, but that's in a general way.
All I ask? If you do decide to run through it, please let me know how the overall game experience left you feeling by the end credits.

Oh - definitely will do. It will be fun to compare notes.

You are correct - I have not seen any Let's Plays or anything that would spoil the plot. I did read reviews when it first was released years ago but long since forgot them. So, for all intents in purposes, I consider myself completely unbiased and unaware. Guess I am about to get b*tch-slapped into a nasty reality... -laughs- Will keep you posted.

And thanks to this conversation, I'm now eyeing Daikatana.
Could be worse, I guess. I could be looking at Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude. Dear gods, that is such a horrible title. Just saying it is like the mental equivalent of gargling a mouthful of cat urine.

HA!

Of those two, did I mention I already own one and have the other on my wishlist? =D

That looks painfully familiar. Only difference between your pile and mine is that the owned item and the wishlisted one are reversed. And insanely enough, we're both trying for the POS trifecta.

Did anyone buy stuff that wasnt on flash deals?.
