Good morning :-)
Pro-tip for stopping the game buying: Put all games you are interested on your wishlist and participate at Secret Santa :D

Oh feck! Have I missed The Banner Saga? Damn sleep. Fingers crossed it comes around again.

Secret Santa ... ? What's that ??

How can yo not know about it? Go there and commit to participating at once ;-p

Can anyone post Arcanum's price with flash sale's discount in euro? If it is around 1.19, then i can get it, when it's up again.

It was €1.19 (75% discount) :-)

That sounds great !! Before signing in, I have a question. How can you know your giftee won't buy the game you're planning to offer him, before the end of sales/Christmas Day... ?

That is the "trick" which keeps you from buying more games at the sale ;-)
When you post your wishlist there, you commit to not changing it or buying something from it until the Secret Santa event is over so that you don't accidently buy the same gift as your Secret Santa or that the giftee buys the game you already bought as a gift :-)
That is why I can't buy anything at the moment even if there are all those nice games on flash sale with a heart next to the title :D

Ok... Got it. Thanks for those explanations... So, I won't buy any game from my wishlist before X-mas day... challenge accepted ! I'm in ! :))

great :-)

Damn. I missed the Banner Saga super cheap... oh well hopefully it will come around again and I'll make some money this weekend to be able to afford it...

I just realized that there are two good enough movies at low enough prices to certainly be attractive. Dark Dungeons and Austin High? Sure they might not be that great, but those are about the same price as a single beer.

Beer, or movies, beer or movies? What a dilemma. Why not beer with movies?

There was just this giveaway of an Age of wonders game. Clicked before I got to see which game it was exactly :p

Yes there was, I think it was rather recent, since I didn't see it yesterday. I also think it was limited to an existing number of copies rather than a time limit.

By the way I'd like to do a consultation on the STALKER games. from what I've seen, it look a little bit like fallout 3, but more shooty, placing more emphasis on the FPS part of the game but without foregoing the RPG elements. Is that right?

I loved Fallout 3, loved its ambience. Sometimes I just walked around to enjoy the gorgeous, bleak and thoroughly destroyed landscapes around me. Are these games as inmersive as Fallout 3 (and New Vegas too)?.

How's everyone doing today?

I see you've been quite chatty while I was gone, still catching up, but wanted to say a quick hello!

Cheers to moonshineshadow for saving CarrionCrow the backtracking! :-)

See you in a bit.
