AgentBirdnest: 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.
I am sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell, I hope you feel better soon. *gentle pat on the shoulder*

innocuous77: 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:)

ddickinson: 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.
If it weren't for my 4 cats (and one of them is really damn fat) and 3 blankets, I'm fine. I'm even deep into the Wagner parts of the game:)

Never forget the things you love in the world. The past matters:P

OK... adding another sweater to the pipes.. -13 now

CarrionCrow: 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.
I prefer a lot of the older adventure games more, before they got all artsy and with very little interaction other than a few click here or there. I think many new adventure games take the while interactive novel thing a bit too far. It's a game with a good story, not a story with a bit of a game attached.

AgentBirdnest: Mornoon, little owl!
I'm... not too well today. Feeling very sick to my stomach :-\ Mentally well though, which is always a plus!
:-( Sorry to read that... I hope things will get better very soon...

FearfulSymmetry: 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. :)
This year I am trying to get my backlog sorted, so I am trying my hardest to avoid games I have previously played, even if I like the game and the story.

I am glad you are doing good. Cleaning does not sound too fun, but it has to be done. :-)

ddickinson: 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. :-)
Same here really, I've never really tried to make a very decorative cake so who knows.
My girlfriend has been requesting a ganache covered chocolate cake so I might just have to be extravagant and buy the required ingredients and make one.
Although apple pie would be easier as I have a whole load of apple sauce already made in the freezer...

It's balance. One of those things that gets screwed up all the time.

I think the last pie I baked was bramble pie. I bake many different kinds, apple, bramble, cherry, rhubarb, and several other ones. I am also good at cooking cookies and other sweet things. :-)

Fun story... 20 years ago..

Playing Kings Quest 5. Before internet, before google, when hint lines were paid....

I had to go to the beach with colleges (no, really, I had to) for the weekend. He spent the entire weekend just figuring

it out.

That, right there, is the beauty of adventure games.

What I find most annoying about hard puzzles in adventure games, is that when you finally find the solution, it was often so obvious that you feel like an idiot for not noticing it sooner. No wonder so many people hate those games. :-)

Also the horror of them... KQ5 is on of my favorite adventure games... But that custard pie is one of the worst decisions in the history of video games.
I mean... Seriously... How could you not eat that pie?!
