IAmSinistar: That Start Menu looks nice, very much like the original. I'm just using Pokki because it came preinstalled (though I accidentally deleted it and had to reinstall it).

So is there a rumour floating that M$ is putting the button back themselves? Gotta love them, they have all the brains and turning radius of an oil tanker. :P

madeaj: Yep, that's the feature that made me want it. You should have seen me. Trying to resist the impulse. Telling myself I already had too many games. Got up and drank two glasses of water, walked around the house (outside and inside). I was like an alcoholic trying not to give in to the bottle of Jack on the counter.

Came back to the computer sure that the sale on that game would be over so I could tell myself it was too expensive (relatively) for an impulse buy. But noooo, there it was, still on sale, calling my name. GOG needs to bottle their subliminal messages or something. lol

Hello, My name is Madeaj and I am a gameholic.

lostwolfe: sanitarium is a very underrated adventure game that i'd completely recommend.
it's atmosphere is somewhat weird though. if you're into that, you may like it a bunch.
while i didn't like everything about it [that atmosphere could be downright creepy in places] - one of the things i /did/ like was that it explored the protagonist's past pretty well and gave you a /very/ good reason as to why you had a breakdown. there's not very many computer games brave enough to do that.
[and when you find out what caused your character's break from reality it is /entirely/ a downer moment, but so well done.]

LynetteC: I loved Sanitarium. There was one point (the end of Mansion segment between the Circus Of Fools level and The Laboratory) that brought tears to my eyes - something only one other game has ever done (Ether One). It's definitely a creepy, atmospheric game.

lostwolfe: yeah. that scene made me cry, too. that, in fact, was kind of what i was alluding to in my post.

PsyRabbit: The only game that is that I would like is The Last Federation.
If Banished or Omerta do a last dash on the final day or something I may pick them up.

But my wallet is telling me no :(

PsyRabbit: But my wallet is telling me no :(

Coelocanth: Mine is begging for mercy and I keep saying "Suck it up, Buttercup! Just one more gift code." So far, it's managing to limp along on life support.

Gibush: I hate to ask, because I'm sure it's been covered in these 128 pages somewhere...

If something's been on a flash sale, does that mean that's it for this sale, or is there a chance it'll go down again? Talking specifically about The Witcher 2, which I missed at $3.99, apparently.

IAmSinistar: We can fight, but the games will win. It's what they are bred for.

I guess I shouldn't mention that Don't Starve also has DLC here. :3

txnca: Oh you are cruel! Did you HAVE to show that??!!! sigh ;-p

IAmSinistar: What can I say, I'm an enabler. Or a pusher. ;)
