Vythonaut: I haven't played Children of the Nile but having played Pharaoh for a long time, i can say that is a great game! And it looks better too! (Maybe it's just me - I like 2d...) ;-)
In the end I will have both games, I just needed to decide which one to buy right now and the sale argument was very convincing :D

CarrionCrow: 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.

PsyRabbit: There has to be someone out their who like Fahrenheit Indigo Prophecy. It has a 4 star rating or is it that bad that you try to inflict it on other by giving them a false sense of the game.
I liked it on playstation. Haven'y played my gog copy yet
Nice to see there's still some activity here now the sale has pretty much gone to bed. Time to play purchases, I think, and keep an eye on the forum instead of waiting for repeated 40 minute segments of life to happen.

Been playing Escape Goat (a great gift, you know who you are...) and from the relative ease of the early levels its begun to feel like the lower circles of hell. What's with all the fireballs, dammit, and blocks and blades and very un-goatlike gymnastics, huh? HUH?

Insane, but still fun. One of those I will keep going back to until I finish or end up in a straightjacket.
One question since I know many people here did that barefoot essentials stuff in the last few days. If you don't want to see the movie section is it normal that there is a wide space between "Account" and the shopping cart?

Yes, I think so.

Yes, mine is that way too.
Although the movies section is still visible on my library and wishlist pages for some reason.

IAmSinistar: Hey look, we're #1 on the Hot topics section today. Too bad the sale wasn't all that hot. ;)
Don't think I've seen you dislike a sale quite this much. ;) The end result was pretty good, at least for me.
Ok thanks, I had some problems with my browser so I was not sure if that should be that way or if my browser was messing something up again.

Hadn't noticed that, mine is the same.

Yep, for a third confirmation.

Just wait until you get to the Insanity levels...

For such an apparently simple game is sure packs a punch. I'm more of a puzzle-solving fan than split-second masochist, but I do find it very likeable. Maybe that will change when I start pulling my hair out and screaming...

It's more that I was disappointed in the sale. The format was nothing special, and neither were the deals. A lot of the bundles were pared-down repeats of earlier, better bundles, and the Flash Deal didn't have enough variety. Granted, I own far too much of the GOG catalogue, so it was going to be difficult for me to get a lot out of any sale. But with the Xmas sale only a month away, this sale seemed both over-long and unnecessary. It would have been better as a more interactive sale, like the famed Insomnia or the Pots Of Gold/Mutator sales.

LaPtiteBete: So... finally, I've bought :

jackster79: That was quite a haul, and plenty of good titles too!

Any particular one you will start playing first?
Hi !
I've already tested a couple of little games, which don't require much time to get into ;

Don't Starve (nice survival game ; not so easy at the early beginning, but once you get the concept... there's no tutorial, no indication ; but if you have a look on your menu on the left, you can see how many of each item you should find if you want to craft something (for example, one log and 3 grass to make a campfire...) :)

Triple Town : nice puzzle game. You have to gather 3 items of each type to obtain a new one of a better rank, and so on. My 7 years old kid loves this one.

Botanicula : a beautiful and "zen" click'n play for kids, with only graphic language, in which you manage a team of plant friends, and search small objects ; each has its own abilities.

Beatbuddy : a platformer in which you must use music beats (like boucing on a loudspeaker) to move faster and destroy obstacles...

I'll test Galactic Civilizations soon, it intrigues me.
For the moment I still play Sam & Max : Save the World, which I've bought at last year's Insomnia Fall sales :)
So I'll wait to finish it before starting another long adventure game (but I can't wait to discover Kentucky Route Zero... or even Sanitarium !)
Maybe I'll start Shadowrun : Dragonfall soon ; or why not an "old" fantasy rôle play... but I still can't decide which one (Arcanum ? Planescape Torment ?... one I don't know yet !) ; and a strategy/wargame would be nice too (Empire Earth ?)... haa, too many games... and so little time ! :)
