FearfulSymmetry: Yep, I want to do a two-year educative master so I can become a high school teacher. :) If all goes well I'll be starting that next year.
But you're not starting it immediately after you've finished you Bachelor's like i did?

ElTerprise: But you're not starting it immediately after you've finished you Bachelor's like i did?
Yep, I am. Sorry, I should have clarified that I meant the next academic year, i.e. September.

Stilton: Would you look at this... I come back after what feels like five years away and GOG are doing one of their mega-sales. Good timing, as much for the games as for the chat.

Hello all. Hope you are extremely well and life is good ;-)

GhostwriterDoF: Greetings! Good to see you posting in the Thread once again, and very good timing indeed. ;)

Hope all is well with you, and that life is being good for you as well.
Hello, Ghost. Life is pretty darn fine, thanks ;-) How's everything with you?

ElTerprise: Hey. Welcome back. I'm doing ok what about you?
Life is good, EIT. Nice to see your insanely happy avatar again. How's the game collecting?

tinyE: Kind of a strange tech question, thought I'd throw it out here because it's not really a game breaking bug and I don't want to bother support. :D

Anyone who has played Act of War knows about the horrendous loading times for saved games. Well I noticed if I turn off XP compatibility the load times go to almost nothing, HOWEVER I do get the following error (see attach) when I start the game.

As soon as I click OK the messaged goes away and the game plays great, but I don't want to find out I'm damaging my PC by just skipping over the error.
avatar
j0ekerr: Oh no, you won't damage any part of your pc by skipping the error. The game might fail at an unexpected point though if it requires that executable file to be running at a later point, but I think it's unlikely, it looks like a normal message box for some non-vital check that could not be performed. Most likely because it's trying to find a XP file that 7 lacks.
Thanks so much. Putting up with the error makes playing the game so much easier, especially if you are like me and keep quick loading over and over and over.

Stilton: I well Agent, how are you? Nice to see you again ;-)
Best I've been feeling in over a decade. Replaced my medication with chocolate, and am feeling great :-D
Glad to hear you are well!
I still have keys for Jade Empire and Rise of the Triad 2013 up for grabs if anyone wants them?

j0ekerr: You sir, have eyes like a hawk!
If a hawk needs binoculars to see the score of a basketball game from my couch, then yes, you are right :-|

Wow, that's fantastic news! Ten years is a long time - you've got a lot of chocolate-chomping to catch up. That's made me really happy; here's a Viking HUG to celebrate (tense those ribs, soldier!)

BillyMaysFan59: Nothing new on my end. Usually, though, the notification shows up after, say, 10 minutes or so of waiting....
It's been a few days that forum notifications refreshed after visiting one of the new pages, but today they don't show at all. I accidentally found a reply from yesterday.

ddickinson: Don't you misbehave. Do you really want to make me sad while I am in such a happy mood?

*puppy dog sad eyes look at Hyper*

There must be some game on sale that interests you?

*puts on puppy_dog_sad_eyes resistant glasses*

Now why would you think that I want to make you sad? Would I have accepted the hug if I wanted that? But the special is hard to resist - so, what time should I be expecting you? ;-P

Hey Bard,

How are things with you? And how's your daughter doing?
avatar
Stilton: Hi DD - nice to see that pretty face again ;-)

I'm trying not to let my eye catch what's going on sale-wise - I have more games than I've had hot dinners, and this time I'm determined to resist all but the most intense temptation. Well, that's the plan, anyway...

How are you?
I am good thank you. Been enjoying some ninja gifting (which was why I asked if anything caught your eye :-)).

It's very nice to see you here again, and what a perfect time to return. I guess GOG wanted to celebrate. :-)

avatar
CarrionCrow: You're right. Due to that, I made this instead. Shouldn't get buried that way.
I knew you just couldn't resist making a tracker thread. :-)
Went to the grocery to get dog food so he wouldn't chew my leg off and what do I find on my return?
DD the SuperNinja™, a big sale, and Stilton!
Wow.

Morning all and xtra +1's for all the gifters.
Thanks for the tracker thread Crow.

I see how it's going to be. *sighs*

So I am left with two option. The first, I come to Vatican City and stick my boot so far up your arse that you can taste leather in your mouth (violent enough for you? :-)), or I just look at the old GOGWiki. But I would much rather gift a game you were interested in playing soon, rather than a random one from your list. Choice is yours. :-)

Indeed... As a very wise Viking once told me (although I'm altering his quote a bit) ... "These chocolate backlogs are like the best homework in the world" ;-)
Tensing my ribs, Sir! ):-|
**big return hug**

HypersomniacLive: Hey Bard,

How are things with you? And how's your daughter doing?
Things are good here, my blue eyed, Hypersomniac friend.

My daughter's alright, although the spinal curve has pregressed a little since we last talked. But we've got an appointment with the specialist at the end of July so we'll see what the state of play is then. So far we've been told its 'borderline' - surgery might become an option but not a necessity. We'll see. My daughter's still feeling good, though, which is the important thing.

How's everything with you? Good, I hope ;-)

AgentBirdnest: :-O ... I almost just described myself as a kitchen appliance to you! ... are you reading my mind? õ__Ô (I was going to cheat and say a radio :-p ... plenty of people have one in their kitchen, right?)
Alright, I'll stay like this, Ma'am ):-| ... Glad you are doing well too, and that you had a good day off yesterday :-)
**Seriously epic hug**
Yes, I can read your mind :-) ... (scared ?...)
I'm not fan of peanut butter, but I shall give it another try, I only tasted it once, hundred years ago...
I don't have any radio in my kitchen... ! :-\ it's not really a kitchen appliance, but, well, why not !! It sounds great :D
You're very obedient, good... \o/
**Even more astonishing hug**
