SirPrimalform: When I told him he was missed, his only response was "oops!".
Why would you lie to him?

ZFR: Why would you lie to him?
Sure, I could tell him we were planning a party to celebrate his absence but then we'd have to put up with him being all moody when he inevitably returns.
Anyone here use (*gasp*) Steam? I've been using my isolation time to do something (barely) useful and go through my Humble Bundle account and I have a few duplicate keys - that is to say I bought some (many) bundles that have some games in that I already owned.

Who likes point and click adventures? I have a steam key for The Journey Down parts 1 and 2 burning a hole in my digital pocket (some of you may call this a "hard drive"). It's an excellent game altogether, although this key is missing the final part.

I could give it to some rando but I thought I'd offer it around here first, any takers?

More to come probably.
Thanks, but no. Not a big fan of adventure games.

You are dead to me.


Surely everyone else loves adventure games though.
Will there be a new Mafia game some time soon?

I assume Joe would tell us if he felt he wasn't able to do the next game. Therefore I assume he's cooking up something good. I have faith.

Let's poke him a bit.
I have a game of Court of the Sultan ready to play. It could be a fun distraction while we wait.

I don't understand any of that stuff, but I'm already in! What resources do you recommend before going into the game?

There aren't many resources (none in English), but the core principles are not that different from Mafia. My intention is for it to be a learn as you go experience, but if you have questions you can PM me during the game.

Just checked and Joe is still alive. He's apparently been cheating on us with a DnD group.

I need Journey Down Part 2, if you are still offering(hit me up via PM if you're still being generous and have the key still). :)
