NEW RUNNING SHOES This is amazing! I went twice as far as usual without even realizing it.

The concern is likely inconsistency. They are low resolution and nothing like the new ones in style.

Deponia, no question.

More like it's become the boogeyman of RPGs. Don't do ___ because the ghost of Dragon Age will get you!

Close enough. Sometimes you get gifts from bundles or as part of promotions or from trading. But you can not turn regular games into gifts after the fact.

I have a spare copy of: -Deus Ex GOTY -Cogs -2x The Ship -Cthulhu Saves the World -Breath of Death VII -Divine Divinity (via GOG) I'm not entering Deadly Nightshade's contest, just hijacking. I own all the games he's offering except Hearts of Iron 3, anyway. If you're interested in these games and promise to play it, just send me a PM. Last time I tried to give them away there were no takers.

I grabbed the GTA IV Complete set. I figure that I owe it a chance after enjoying Saint's Row The Third and Just Cause 2 so much. I thought I was done with these back when GTA 3 was a yearly franchise. The indie game I spent the most time with is Terraria followed by Space Pirates and Zombies. I also recommend the Penny-Arcade Adventure titles, Legend of Grimrock if you're into that sort of thing, Gemini Rue and Resonance for the big adventure buffs (not must own by any means, but good). Oh, and both Puzzle Agent titles. Those are indeed must own if you're into puzzle/adventure games.

That's the cat's job.

They ignore each other. Now the other dog (not pictured), that's another matter. She wants to play with the cat since they're about the same size. The cat doesn't like that.

This is what I call a day off. Bonus photo. My phone is a terrible camera.

There's lots of rumors about a Legacy of Kain reboot. Though nothing solid so far.

Beat Resonance. It was a neat little game. Worth it for the adjusted $2.00 from GOG's sale, but nothing to be excited over.

The answer is no. They, or rather Avellone specifically, said they don't want to design around console limitations for Project Eternity.

I think I'm at the end of Resonance. And I am comfortable that I've predicted an up and coming twist.

What is the WiiU? All I know is that people in the ME 3 MP say the WiiU will join multiplayer. New Nintendo console.

This is the only non-compilation I can find. http://www.gamersgate.co.uk/DD-NWN2MW/neverwinter-nights-2-mysteries-of-westgate

I am proud to announce that I finished the first of what I hesitate to call a draft of my first chapter. Anyone interested in reading it for feedback is crap out of luck because I spent as much time experimenting with viewpoint and voice as I spent actually writing. But hey, I wrote actual scenes. Really crappy scenes, but scenes!

Since I just grabbed Resonance on GOG's Black Friday, I'll probably start that up in a bit. Or Soul Reaver. If I don't get distracted by writing.

Just wanted to thank you for the link again. Just finished episode 4 and it's already given me a good reason to rewrite my first few paragraphs. They're not talking about voice, which is my big concern, so far, but it's helping in other ways. And it has Brandon Sanderson!

That would also be illegal. And it doesn't fit the classic stereotype.

It'll give me something to listen to at work tomorrow, thanks. Edit: Also, I'm practicing my drinking. Because when it comes to creative types, it's either coke or wine and only one of those is legal.

Trying to establish a voice in my writing. Probably the hardest thing for me, harder than doing the actual writing. Problem number 1, actually writing in a non-mechanical fashion. Problem number 2, not overdoing the humor during a scene that's supposed to be a very tragic death scene.

It's the bad Antonio Banderas impersonation and the fact that he looks at my character like he's a piece of meat.

Finished Chaos on Deponia. Repeatable crashes at the ending, so had to youtube the final bits. Luckily, I managed to complete all interactive portions. It was just cutscenes left. Incredible game. Except for the crashing. Edit: Going back to Assassin's Creed 3 after playing both Deponia games is depressing. I think Deponia is going to go on the list of games that made me stop gaming for a while. I'll go back to books for a month or so.

Just finished Deponia. Great game. The puzzle logic stumped me a few times, but nothing that I felt was unfair after I found out what it was. The story and characters were funny and charming. I highly recommend it to adventure fans.
