You're welcome.

Wishlist first blood goes to me! LynetteC and CarrionCrow will have to be faster next time. ;)

Already have that one, but had to doublecheck. It kinda got buried in there among everything else. Can't even remember when it was purchased or for how much.
Oh, GOG. I love it when you make me think I have early-onset Alzheimer's....

Its a shame - it wasn't that bad. It just needed a bit more energy and less repetition. Otherwise, I'm pleased enough with what I got.

Actually, Moonbase Commander has made me doubt my memory as well. I would have sworn when I bought it that it had some pretty dreadful CGA graphics, but it looks much better in the screenshots than I recall. Almost like a proto-Perimeter. So we're all going doddery together.

Has anyone played Perimeter? I've been on/off tempted by it but can't convince myself either way.

The person you just quoted. :P

Ever have one of those moments where you're just being generally horrible, a total killjoy, and you're doing it so hard you can almost feel the blackness of the happiness-destroying void you're generating? Dear gods, it's fun to have those kinds of moments every once in a while. =)

Indeed. :D

I like it, it's an RTS with a number of fresh ideas, and the presentation is very cool. Be warned though that it's buggy, and it's possible to complete a mission but not have the game recognise you have done so (especially if you do certain goals out of order). Regardless, if you like RTSes, it's worth your time.

As a side note, Vangers has a lot in common with Perimeter, so if you've played that, you might have a notion of whether you'd like the latter as well. But they have a lot of differences too.

That happens when you play any nintendo multiplayer game with your friends, especially in brawl, when everbody "agrees" to do random characthers and the noob gets Meta Knight every time

Don't get me wrong, the deals were pretty good and I'm also quite pleased with what I got. The pacing however was not designed for the regulars here, hence got tiresome rather quickly, and that's what I meant with my comment.

If it wasn't for the community, this thread, the discussions and your poems, I'd have given up on the sale after the first few days.

Thanks for that. I'm not sure I'd be too accommodating about the game sometimes not recognising progress; that's the kind of thing that starts me losing interest. I may still give it a go, though.

I should have been clearer in my reply - I was actually agreeing with you. Although overall the sale was fairly good, its a shame that it didn't have more life and we had to see the same titles so many times.

And thanks for your comment vis a vis my contribution to things ;-)

Agreed. Good sale, garbage pacing, too dull to sit through without the community.

This. Sale was quite good but pacing was annoying. And while I liked the stamp thing, the flood of postings related to that which are even coming in now made me question if that was really a smart way to give away a free game and movie ;-)
So back to the Insomnia thread from last year until a new tracker thread for winter sale starts :D

You need to beef up the wishlist because "The best things in life are free - and $19.95." :p
