Thank you. =)
Which ones did you grab and which ones did you already have?

Both Dark Fall and Black Mirror games (from this Nordic promo)...

From the "ghosts" of promos past, (installed but never finished) Tales of Monkey Island, Book of Unwritten Tales, Gemini Rue, Flight of the Amazon Queen and Beneath a Steel sky.

Though I still have Gemini Rue and Beneath a Steel Sky installed.

I just grabbed The Unwritten tales: Critter Chronicles and the elusive Jack Keane in the Nordic sale (along with the Desperados games).

Well, at least you grabbed the same stuff I did the last time Nordic was leaving. -laughs-
Only 11 in total, you can get through those. Even at 25 hours apiece, you can have those wiped out in a couple months time. =)

I almost got those too, but I’m holding off on sequels until I actually finish an adventure game, or, the price is too low to pass up, though I admit being tempted by the Keane... just a bit.

Oh, I also have Botanicula and Machinarium too, if those are also in the genre.

I like the artwork, solving puzzles and mysteries, plus the story telling and humor, I just get lost in the hunting for objects, or navigating through the illogical parts of these type of games, without something to shoot or blow-up to ease the monotony.

You don't buy the Keane to play it, but to be a true GOGlodyte! This is a MUST. ;-)

The only reason it is not on my GoG shelf, is because Nordic Games took it out of "our" catalog...

:P

CarrionCrow: Holy crap....I'm awake again....that was earlier than expected.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone. =)
Mornin', didn't expect you till late afternoon. ;)

I know, I missed it about 5 times then it was gone. :/
Got it this time though. ;)

AgentBirdnest: Good evening. I just woke up from a dream where I was being beaten up by you and j0ekerr's avatars, while a big red eyeball just sat there and watched.
That is both disturbing, and oddly in character.

avatar
CarrionCrow: Additional - Wherever you are, j0ekerr, I just want you to know - I've now got Soulstorm wishlisted, and I blame you. There's other stuff I want to play, but I'm now stuck wanting that game. And it's all your fault. ;)
My job here is done, up up and away.

avatar
EndreWhiteMane: OK, here's one for you to ponder. Had to go to the store myself today to get some cold medicine so I don't feel quite as much like crap.
The pharmacy is in the very back of a packed grocery store in the opposite corner from the entrance. I had to walk through the middle of 5 gazillion people, spreading germs as I went and then back again to get to my car.
3 days from now about 1000 people will probably call in sick. Talk about planning, I fell like typhoid Endre. :/
Misanthrope-nihilistic designed stores. Makes perfect sense to me.

avatar
CarrionCrow: I think I've just found a good way to put the competition to use....

There are only so many truly horrible games a person can "gift" to someone through GOG.
The competition, though....they have oodles and oodles of games any sane person would be mortified to have.
I can totally make use of that....>=)
He, hehehe. ha ha ha! MWA WA HA HA HA HAHAA!!!

Gives new meaning to the phrase "steaming pile of..."

moonshineshadow: She plays mostly adventures and RPGs :-) So when I am visiting we normally play either an adventure together or what is also great fun one of the Lego Games.
Moms and games... does not compute.

In other news. I got a call for a job interview. The commute would be a paltry 250 miles. Oh joy, I'm sooo thrilled.

I think those both count as well, yes. And yeah, it's easy to get bored if you get stuck and have no idea how to progress. Then it gets very old very fast.

Good afternoon. Hoping you're at the very least beginning to feel a little bit better. To put it eloquently, being sick sucks. Really frigging bad.
I was also figuring on being awake later. Not sure if I woke up on my own or if a dog did it, but either way here I am. -laughs-

Screw it....at least it's only 6 and a half. They used to be 20 apiece. Course, with it having 9 factions, I'm still going to be playing the godsdamned thing for a week or two after I get it. Thank you SO MUCH. -laughs-
And yeah, pretty sure I can turn "steaming pile of tweed" into a catchphrase/kiss of death.

Also, the commute's only 250 miles? You could totally bicycle that! (And hopefully video the whole thing. I get the feeling that'd have Youtube gold written all over it. ;)

Hrrrm, the end of the humble sale is inminent. The "missed deals" button is gone and the daily roster of games on sale hasn't updated.

Space Hulk is there still, for a similar price to the pigeon game and about the same quality and value of entertainment.

Do I yield to WH40K fanboyism and buy that piece of foetid tripe spewed from the foul bowels of Nurgle? Or do I exercise criteria?

It's got to be better than the goddamn pigeon game. What annoys me is that they've already put out an updated version of Space Hulk, so the cheap deal is essentially the one to get you hooked on the 30 dollar upgraded edition.

And yet, no Heroquest....Assholes. Will have to settle for Warhammer Quest, I guess.

Also, a hack and slash came to mind - Killer is Dead. It's on discount right now as well.

OR! You could skip everything both you and I mentioned, buy Final Fantasy 8, 13 and 13-2, then find a gas oven to shove your head into! Doesn't that sound like fun too? -laughs-

Depends on how patient you are. But it is cheap. Just don't go for the DLC.

I actually intend to play it. I'm intrigued enough to see how bad/good/mediocre it is. And 5 euro is a much better price for it.

I'm still considering if i should get the Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers and Mortal Kombat Komplete edition from the sale. Don't know much of those two.
