I read that as "long live Just Kidding" for a moment because that's the most common abbreviation for JK. lol

Oddly enough, Just Kidding is strangely appropriate for Jack Keane, as in; just kidding that this is supposed to be a game.

Trails, not tales, although I can understand the confusion. The tales series is pretty much the same thing.

"I read the other reviews here, and I have to wonder if I'm dwelling on a parallel plane of some kind, close enough to touch another side, but forever unable to glimpse it. I'm really, incredibly, amazingly, ecstatically happy that I can't reach that side."

Thanks for the laugh. :P
Just Keaning.

Oh, I did it now...

I'm so sorry! I feel like this is my fault that you wasted time, money and GoG shelfspace on this :(

Part of me also feels even more guilty because I think my new favorite phrase ever is "feel free to click before it gets spam-spanked into oblivion by pigeon love fetishists" and I wouldn't have gotten to read that if you hadn't ever played the game.

Pfft.. +1 to you. That was a great pun. Almost made me spit out my tea.

You're very welcome. =) The people here are helping me out all the time, the least I can do is make people have a laugh. Beats the crap out of being bored.
It turned out to be worth it. If I hadn't played, I wouldn't have gotten to feel better about myself, and I wouldn't have written something that makes people laugh. Not a bad result for 3 dollars and a lingering headache. -laughs-

Refueling time. Back soon with a stuffed grin ;-)

I feel a bit better and yes that review is pretty damn funny.

Sorry for replying here. While everything else you say is fine and dandy with me, I disagree with this point because it's utterly, totally unrealistic, especially for people whose relatives are all non-gamers. Suppose such a person was looking at his phone/pc/anything while at the social gathering. Others would think that this attitude is at least rude (especially elderly relatives, that tend to get offended more easily-generational gap you see...). Suppose now they asked said person what he's doing there (because there's also the possibility that they just remained silent about this for politeness sake and just stared angrily), what should he/she say? That he's looking at some offers at some gaming store? I fyou were a relative, how would that sound to you? It would sound to them like he/she was saying "Aunt/grandma/whatever, I prefer to check some random site than keep you company and talk to you". In this case, the only BOOM happening would be the boom in annoyed stares from the relatives, and the only marketing GOG will get is "Said site keeps my grandchild/nephew/whatever away from me and makes him antisocial!", which wouldn't help GOG like at all. Now, about the buddies, if you have a bunch of buddies that are all gamers, good for you. But if your friends and acquaintances are all non-gamers too ,well, talking about games with them/neglecting them for GOG is awkward at best and a non-desired course of action 'cause they might be offended too at worst (thankfully my friends don't get offended easily, but then I haven't checked GOG while with them). So, in conclusion, such a marketing via an insomnia sale could only be helpful only if one has a bunch of gamer buddies/relatives and not in any other case. At any rate, sorry again for raining at your parade. :-/
P.S. @CarrionCrow: Remember when I mentioned my non-gamer mother giving "feedback" on stuff? Well, I highly doubt she would tolerate me checking GOG in detriment of a social gathering with relatives. This considering that last year, new year's eve, when my family and I were at some restaurant for the reveillon, I got engrossed at a DS game (a pokemon game I think), and I think that, even though people were polite and told me nothing, they weren't very pleased nonetheless. So yeah, my point here is people who are the only gamers they personally know have bad luck regarding such stuff as those you just mentioned...

Plus, you managed to ruin tootsie rolls for everyone ever! That's quite an achievement to feel proud of.

And with that I'm stepping away from the computer folks. Have fun for what's left of the weekend.

Same here!
I love and trust this company a lot, even with its goofy moves sometimes lol.
BUT it must not change when they'll win!

First off, no need at all to apologize. I'm not special, I'm not infallible, and as long as the person on the other side of the conversation isn't being nasty about it, I have no problem whatsoever with differing opinions. That's the neat thing about talking with people that aren't compelled to get hostile to defend whatever position they're defending. You can actually talk with someone, as opposed to fighting against them. =)
I understand what you're saying, and you're right. I put out an optimal situation, and things are rarely ever optimal. Personal perspective seeping through, having almost no family and the ones I do have not minding such things. Hell, I've actually gotten some of them to take an interest in GOG.
But I do understand, and your perspective is not an inaccurate one in some cases. The scenario wouldn't work in all situations with all people.
But that's part of the problem. I think GOG is spreading itself WAY too thin trying to be all things to all people all the time. I want them to do better and ultimately succeed, and it is intensely frustrating to see them casting aside a tool that could help them do so for the sake of providing a diluted experience.
Also, thank you for providing that different perspective. Yours is almost entirely different than mine, and it's always good to get a better idea of how people interact outside your own little setting.

I live to serve. ;)
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. =)

Agreed, absolutely and emphatically. I will support GOG to the end, so long as they adhere to their core. (And yes, I know, they've had to make compromises that've ended up causing firestorms, but that's what happens when you don't have the power to make the rules.)

Feeling much better.
Had to catch up on 8 pages! I didn't expect that to happen in just three hours.

I talk too much. (In case that wasn't abundantly noticeable. -laughs-) Glad you're feeling better. =)
