ddickinson: Naughty Mr Octopus. I hope you did not spend too much that it will cause you some problems. You should try to calm down with sales, it is not like the games are going anywhere. :-)
Nah, just more than I had originally intended.
Much more I wanted to buy but it will have to wait. :P
Like Shadowrun Hong Kong, as I still haven't finished the final mission of Dragonfall.
I don't even know why, I just stopped for the night months back and never came back to do the final mission. xD

ElTerprise: Yep. I'm thankfully only missing one game from the list and that's one i'm not sure about it being interestingly enough for me anyway. It's not a Government issue - though a federal institution is responsible. But aside from possibly de-listing GOG.com from Google they cannot do anything as GOG is located in Poland. Also afaik none of these are actually "banned", they're merely blacklisted which means it is necessary to make it impossible for minors to buy them. It's actually a fraction of blacklisted media which is actually banned - i mean not even "Mein Kampf" is actually - it just wasn't for sale until this year. I don't even know of any banned book but even if there would be a banned it would probably for legal reasons - like infringement of personal rights etc...
Same with other media too (but usually due to glorification of violence or inhuman depictions which are punishable offences in Germany)
Maybe, but to many outside Germany it does seem a lot more anti-democratic than it might do to people in Germany. Besides, would it kill you to agree so I can joke about the upcoming rise of the Fourth Reich and their new attempt at world domination under the command and Field Marshal Moonshine and her batman, ElT the Welsh mad scientist? :-)

*big silly hug*

P.S. Which game are you missing from the list?

ElTerprise: Well i'm not a huge friend of great heat either and i'm totally used to rain (for obvious reasons ^^) but i'd appreciate a bit of sun at the moment - it's raining since i came back from Berlin from Berlin yesterday...

Best of luck with the results and the other stuff that is bothering you. But i'm glad that you're doing well enough :)

Well how's Germany? Hm...not too good imho...would love to see our Government replaced but other than it's okay...

Oh well too bad :)
Well, I can understand it getting on your nerves a bit in that case. Na regen komt zonneschijn I guess...

Haha, same thing here. Belgium's a mess of a stew when considered politically. And there are, by "merit" of our partycracy a lot of total incompetents in offices where incompetents really don't belong. And they are all from different parties too, so instead of the incompetents governing like a government should they turn governing and decisionmaking into a vote farming and mutual slandering campaign... It would be hilarious (and it is in that odd stale cynical way), if they weren't supposed to be running a nation.

I'll just vote for the marxists again next time. I like marxism, and not many people vote for them, so it'll be a vote wasted. Which is just fine with me, considering the alternative... :D

Politics aside, that games/books etc blacklist is really preposterous. I can only guess (and hope) that GOG was pushed into it by a less idealist outside force...

That is good then, at least you did not go too crazy with buying games.

I have Shadowrun Hong Kong on my wishlist as well. I have not played any of the games yet, but I have seen enough to feel like I will enjoy them when I do, which is why I own the other two here already. Most likely I will wait until I have at least played the first one before getting Hong Kong.

What do you think of today's new release?

Don't bother with Shadowrun Returns and go straight to Dragonfall. I could explain why if you want me to. :P

Kinda sucks, different publisher same game so no loyalty discount.
Most of the changes should've been included in a patch to the original game.
Like the controls being fixed for example. (they just didn't feel all that great in the original version)
I'm not paying that much just for slight changes.
The entire middle third of the game has bad level design so nah.

I'd recommend getting it cheap eventually if you're interested.

No thank you. I still intend to play them in order, even if the first game is not that good. :-)

Well the new games sounds a bit meh. I was not really interested anyway, but if I was all that would put me off a llittle.
*waves and hugs*

Woohoo, I'm super happy! I got a decent grade for my internship after all even after that terrible lesson visit. And now I'm all done with university for the summer. :D

YAY! *more congratulations hugs*

See, I keep telling you you will do great. You really should listen to me more. :-)

I am very happy to hear so much is going well for you now. Are you on holiday for a while now to enjoy the summer?

*lots more big hugs*

Hopefully :)

Well that's modern democracy (or Post-democracy) in a globalised late-capitalist world in a nutshell....

Fair enough....well doing it like in the Saramago novel [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeing_(novel)]Seeing [/url] would be another alternative :P

Well they always claim that it's not in their hands...and at least in case of the Bethesda game it was demanded by Bethesda but i think they're just overly cautious - it's not like the BPjM can do much against GOG...

Don't worry it's still okay. :P
Returns just doesn't really have many interesting people.
You hire random people to fight with you.
In Dragonfall you take people with you, people that actually get some character development and offer sidemissions.
Alright. I'm off for the moment as i have to get to university. See you all later *big hugs and waves* :)

Well I tend to try to play them in order, even if some are better than others. I find it easier playing them older to newer, otherwise if I do it the other way it just makes the old games seem more outdated.

Oh, and I think I have one game from your wishlist. Would you like "I have no mouth and I must scream" as a gift? It is not much, but it is the only one I have an old vintage key for that is on your list.
