Well you are very good at it. You should be pleased about making such an awesome cake, I'm sure your little Owlet loved it.

Hey, Fearful !! :)
Nope, you're not the only one... I love replaying my old point'n click games... exactly as you said : "every once in a while and sink back into the comfortable familiar atmosphere" ! :-D
I saw "the Book of Unwritten Tales 2"... looks amazing. But so expensive :-)
I still have the Code for the first one and haven't redeemed it... Did you play it ?
(How are you doing, by the way ?)
*Hug ?*

You win the internet... hell, you win life.

<still wishes she spent her time baking so the pipes don't burst...>

- 12 now, not including wing chill....

Yes, he loved it... :") Thanks a lot for your awesome comments, DD... **Happy Hug** !

Hello!

I replay them, but not for a long time after I have finished them. I have too many games in my backlog to keep replaying the same few. A bit like books, if I stuck to just reading my favourites over and over again, I would not have time to read new ones.

I'm doing well, thank you. How is the day treating you so far?

I played the first one and I think it was a nice solid adventure game :-)

Point and click games generally have a smaller user base. Probably becasue most gamers are looking for more action and gameplay, as Crow said, adventure games are almost like interactive books, which is not to everyone's liking.

Bread (unsurprisingly, considering what we do) is my speciality. I used to bake a lot, but I don't often have the time (or inclination) these days :(
Plus we always seem to be dieting these days (largely unsuccessfully) so making apple pies and chocolate cakes doesn't really fit with that...
Yeah, if I want to read a book I read a book, so I suppose when I play a game I want there to be more for me to do. Plus I find the puzzles in adventure games can be ridiculously obtuse sometimes and I hate that.. XD

I can cook a very good pie and pastry. As well as cakes and buns. I am just no good at making them look fancy. But to be honest it's not something I have tried often, so maybe with a bit of practice I can be making fancy cakes in no time. :-)

Also, you are making me want to bake an apple pie when I get home tonight. :-)

I do. Gabriel Knight 2 is a yearly replay. I even spent real life in Bavaria seeing the castles. ( I know... nerd)

Just tonight, in my horrid winter chill, I chose to play an old game...
Yes, the one with blankets:)

They are in German as well, which must be nice for you. I have heard many people mention how the original German versions of games are often a lot better than the English voiced version.

Between that and the occasional absurdity of the puzzles, the user base definitely went down.

A game with little to no base replay value, with puzzle-logic ranging from silly to psychotic.
Given that, it gets easier to see why Wolfenstein and Doom got so popular. They were the perfect alternative at the perfect time.

Mornoon, little owl!
I'm... not too well today. Feeling very sick to my stomach :-\ Mentally well though, which is always a plus!

Morning, dd...
Not feeling well (see above^) Could I have a pat on the shoulder instead of a hug today? A hug might make me throw up on you... *pat on the shoulder*

There are two shooters on my wishlist that I'll definitely pick up. I forgot what they were already...

I didn't read anything that I missed... so... I just hope everyone is doing well. I wish everyone a good day.

Well I hope you manage to keep warm while playing the old game. We don't want you turning into an icicle in that cold weather.

Your pie is absolutely gorgeous! I could never hope to bake something like that. :P

I own the first one, and I began playing it a while ago, but then I got distracted and didn't finish it, so I'll need to get back to it sometime soon. What I played was pretty good.

I'm fine! Just went to a new physical therapist this morning and my neck is a lot better now. I'll need to come back for treatment and do regular exercises for a few months, but for the first time in half a year or so things are looking up on the painful neck front. :P

*hug*

I get what you're saying. Unfortunately, I'm always falling for the trap where I go back to my favourite games/books/movies and don't try out enough new ones. :P

I'm doing good. About to clean the house up a bit. :)
