AgentBirdnest: I've +'d just about every post by everyone in this thread. I've been a cheery mood the last few days.

LynetteC: So *you're* the reason my rep's gone up! Cheers! :-D
Well *you're* the reason I put up a GOG wiki page, which resulted in a massive carpet gifting campaign. Cheers to you! :-D
(And cheers to all my gifters of course!)

innocuous77: What part of 'shut it' did you miss? Shhh... they're not supposed to know we're actually friends. Silly rabbit.
Not saying a word....;)

PaterAlf: I swear, if I ever meet Jon van Caneghem, I will kick him in his balls!!!

*rant over*

Sorry for abusing this thread...

LynetteC: No problem. At least I know what NOT to do when I finally get round to playing M&M II. Thanks for that. :-)
I was just thinking the same thing :-)

Wasn't The Banner Saga 4€ in the previous flash deal? I remember seeing it at the price...

CarrionCrow: I'll bring your comment back to the supposed actual topic (as if there is one -laughs-) and try to divert your rage at the game bullshit.
Have you at least been finding cool stuff during the sale to grab? Anything you're looking forward to trying out?
Yes, I bought several games (including Hatoful Boyfriend :D). Problem is I can't play them, because I have to finish Might and Magic II first. ;)

donsanderson: Thank you for that, I'm laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes! ;)

PaterAlf: So it did at least something good. Even if I'm not sure if it's really funny (at least not for me). ;)

avatar
innocuous77: I completely understand... did the same thing back in the day. Think about it this way... in the 2000s, the big deal about gaming was to have your choices matter. MM2 did that earlier.

and yes, I restored.
avatar
PaterAlf: Good to know I'm not alone. And yes, the choice I made certainly did matter.

trentonlf: Here's a cookie for a mad cookie monster.

I would be utterly pissed and erase the whole game :-/
avatar
PaterAlf: Thank you for the cookie. I'm feeling better right away.

Won't let the game win that easily. I already started to visit the caverns to get my stats back. It's a little hard, because of the weak characters and the fact that there are even more monsters now (because I'm on a higher level), but at least the game was friendly enough to not destroy my amor and equipment as well. I should probably say "Thank you!" for that.

Won't give up, I will beat this game!!!
Perseverance! I love it!!

If need any more cookies just post another rant ;-)

LynetteC: Have you tried Sacred? The character builds can get pretty complex if you want to invest that kind of time (I don't) but whilst the story line itself is pretty linear you can go anywhere you want and pick up sidequests as you go along. It also has LAN multiplayer.
avatar
Arinielle: I've looked at Sacred and Sacred 2 ( my mom's boyfriend at the time played it a lot and they told me about it ). The hubby didn't seem very interested. We did both agree on that D&D bundle that's come up here a few times and I did end up getting it. He's played a few of the games in that bundle...and I think there's multiplayer in some of 'em. There's hope yet. We've just been kinda worried that WoW may have been the only game in common we'd have ( started playing WoW in middle of Burning Crusade and started it together because a mutual friend of ours suggested it while we were still in our dating phase and we were still living in different countries and wanted something we could still connect in ).
Check your PMs. :-)

I believe it was half what it is now in the last sale.

We're thinking program glitch. It's been 75 percent off every other time but this one.

The reason I was laughing was that we were just discussing the peaceful, friendly little family we have here in this thread and in bursts an enraged cookie monster! Just couldn't help it. :-) sorry

Honestly, that's why we do this. It's not just about beating the game. It's about taking on challenges.

We rarely get fanfare and a +2 Staff of Teaching for doing a good job (although I got a Christmas card with a really sweet note). Games (with all their bugs) let us do that.

Sorry... nostalgia and a GOG sale are dangerous for me. I keep being nice. Dammit.

Tell me about it. Couldn't convince myself to give half a shit if most of the people around me were engulfed in flames and flailing, would be more concerned about them spilling my drink, but come here, good people all over the place, and it just comes out. Go figure. ;)

Ahhhh, i remember considering buying for that cheap but meanwhile i reconsider it since they announced the ps4/vita version so today checking the new sales i found it strange the price increase but the glitch situation makes sense.

But at least I posted something constructive, before I started ranting (the fact that there is a +5 rep limit per day).

And no need to say sorry. The more I think about it, the more I see that it is in fact funny. These old games were so unforgiving, but with today's easy and casual stuff around, you tend to forget it and don't expect such kind of punishment from a game any longer.
