Good morning. =)

How's your day going so far?

Fine Crow,no beach weather here coming into the cool stuff (and loving it)...

Sounds like you get all 4 seasons pretty much whenever they want to show up.

Yep,they had a debate last year and someone said that Australia is slightly out of date with it's season's starting and ending calender....Sometimes I think that may be correct..

Oh my, I've just realized that finishing KB: Dark Side will also mean finishing my backlog... now, that's a pretty good achievement...

3 times?

That certainly is. Congratulations. =)

KB?

Nah, I play as Baghyr - since Warcraft 3 I always choose orc if possible but not half-orc - and I do enjoy it. From what I've heard dialogs are different but they are not really three different campaigns. And since KB games are pretty similar to each other I can't see myself playing it again.
KB :)
Let's wait with it until tomorrow ;) I may still buy some games in the meantime ;P

Well your certainly right about them being similar..

-laughs- That's always a possibility. But for now? You've got next to no backlog. Enjoy that. =)

Yeah and I was pretty disappointed with Dark Side because I was expecting some new, fresh ideas. Sure, there were some minor additions but nothing really new. Even Orc, Daemoness and Vampire is actually Warrior, Paladin, Mage from previous games. Slightly lame... well, I still like this series and I know that they applied "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rule but it gets really repetitive...
I do! I'm also happy that now I won't play bad or average games anymore, I'll gladly replay some games from my collection but I'll choose the best ones :)

Yeah,they need to add something new without changing the game mechanics..

To most of us that's not even imaginable! :-)

I remember that I've heard somewhere that after Armored Princess only a small fraction of the original team was developing further titles. So they basically reused everything established earlier, add new quests and story line but didn't change anything significant. Warriors of the North was already terribly repetitive and changing sides only initially seemed to deliver some new stuff... I hope next KB game will finally introduce some fresh ideas
It takes a few years but it's possible ;) But let me clarify one thing: I bought a lot GOG games (334 ATM) that I've played and finished many years ago. I still consider them finished even though I didn't finish GOG version of them. Otherwise... well, let's just say I'm seeing myself playing Wizardry 6-8 anytime soon ;)
