A game collection is more interesting and less expensive than a stamp collection.
And if you get bored looking at them you can always try playing one.

I totally agree! Is it really less expensive though? :P

When I collected stamps the average for highly desired ones was around 12-15 dollars each, and that was years ago.
I sold my collection of ~350 stamps for the very bargain price of $3250.00. :-)

ddickinson: How are you liking the no-face art style of the game? It does not look like the usual story based Telltale game, although for some reason it is giving me a clicker feel to it, but I have no idea what I base that on.
Doesn't bother me. In fact I think I... kind of like it. Minimalist but in a clean sort of way that doesn't distract or detract from the game - I actually hadn't even totally noticed until you mentioned it (it reminded me a little bit of Massive Chalice the first time I looked at the screens).

And I'm someone that's usually a bit sensitive to art direction that I feel is overly pretentious or novel for novelty's sake. This one works for me though!
The need to buy even more games during the sale is strong, even though I just bought some and have a ton waiting to be played...but...more! XD All the otomes!

*honks clownhorn* Hi! I just saw Tyranny is coming to GOG :D I was going to buy Balrum, but now I think I'll wait for... *Dun dun dun* TYRANNY!

ddickinson: I have seen a few people mention that Steam users have thousands of games, many more than are even for sale on GOG. I wonder how many were games they actually wanted, or how many were bundle games, or if they get them just for the sake of having more games? I have had a little look at the games on Steam, and I think even if I was to get games on Steam as well, my library would not grow that much, maybe a few dozen games at most.
I'd say it's a combination, based on my own experience. I've done all those things. Some games I hold in high regard, some were tag-alongs I got to receive better bundle prices and others I got on impulse because they were really cheap and I got tired of seeing them pop up as sales got repeated.

Fantasysci5: I am so happy you're going to try Luckslinger! Besides being pretty difficult, it is an amazing game! I love the atmosphere, the music, the gameplay, everything! Let me know how you fair against the first boss. ;) 18 games you may buy, that's a ton! I had to really cut back on which ones I wanted to buy, bought 11.
It certainly looks interesting. I'll be trying it out soon, I'm sure. Then I can tell you all about the boss killing me endlessly. -laughs-

Honestly? At this point I'm only waiting for the weekend. Main season minus colleague plus boss is not fun. :(
Good Thursday, lovely lambs of Fred!

I hope you are all having a lovely start to this sunny day?

*hugs, waves, and breakfast*

But there are strange people who will buy your stamps for a lot of money, so stamp collecting is a lot more profitable. But granted, they are not as enjoyable to own as games are. How about collecting games about stamp collecting? :-)

You never noticed they did not have faces? Remind me to not have you stand guard when the aliens invade and try to mimic us, they will be inside our base in no time, despite the fact they don't have faces. :-)

I am glad you like the art style of this game. Let's hope it turns out to be a good game and one that you will enjoy.

Now that you mention it I forgot about those bundle games. I know there are a few games on my shelf that I only own due to it being cheaper to get the whole bundle during a sale rather than the one or two games that I wanted. For some reason I kept buying them to start with rather than getting them as a gift code. But since then I just redeem the ones I want and gift the left over ones. I wonder if there are people that own the majority of Steam games? I would hope not, that is a lot of crap games to own. :-)
Good morning peeps :)

Well I originally said piglets, but some people take that as an insult, so I stuck with lambs. But don't worry, you are being kept for wool, so you won't be sent to slaughter until you are older. :-)
