*cheers*

Good to hear, it was looking touch-and-go.

Thanks for clarifying!

Played one lifetime of Monster Loves You. It's a bit like a simplified, first-person King of Dragon Pass at times (the simple decisions you take in various encounters affect your fate, and...

Gog's page says that "The game's multiplayer servers have been taken offline, however, multiplayer over LAN is still available." Is there a work-around? Sorry if I'm being dense.

Thanks to the thread for reminding me about this one - downloaded the beta and started denying entry (after sketching out the map and all the passport details).

OK, thank you.

Early May is possible for me.

Options for pubs, off the top of my head:
- Porterhouse in Temple Bar has nice beer and decent-size tables (more space than on Nassau Street);
- or we could go...

Can anyone clarify what the rules are on the "elder geek" coupons on Gamersgate? Is it single use only, forever, or is it a certain number of uses per quarter, or what? I'm probably going to pick...

Sorry, only seeing this now and booked for the evening. I'm up for an Irish meet though, especially if it's near enough to Dublin (apologies to non-Dubs).

Enjoy, and all the best to Tiy.

Picked up Assassin's Creed 2 from Gamersgate, so thanks to the folks who suggested it.

I hope you enjoy it. I would guess the game to come in around 30 hours, but I don't think I've played the complete, non-beta thing end-to-end. Must get around to it.

Possibly Game of Thrones RPG - it doesn't fit rigidly within your criteria, but as far as I can tell, a lot of the games on your list don't either.

Of the games on your list, I would highly...

Playing King of Dragon Pass, Dungeon Keeper and Atom Zombie Smasher. The first two are excellent; I'm not really deep enough into Atom Zombie Smasher to say whether I like it, but its mechanics are...

For anyone else who's gone for the Blendo Games bundle, if you have trouble with extremely inaccurate mouse control, deleting the file atigktxx.dll from the data file seems to solve it (for me, in...

Jumped into King of Dragon Pass. It's really interesting, but also baffling, even after the tutorial and manual - maybe a bit like Paradox games. I don't know what I'm doing half the time, but it...

Played Lume. It's not very long (as it currently stands) but the paper cut-out graphics are lovely and the puzzles are good. Not too difficult, although one of the locks had me stumped for a bit. ...

Thanks, I didn't know this was out. (Edit: The devs' or Fastspring's dollar-to-euro exchange rate is rather advantageous - I only paid about 2.50 for what probably should have been 5.80. No idea why...

That's what I was afraid of - I haven't found a bed that doesn't belong to someone yet, and the magic ring I *cough* found doesn't actually heal much compared to what I'm being drained of. Maybe...

Only just reading now (it's been a busy week), and really enjoying it so far. (Edit: D'oh, didn't catch your death post. Condolences, and will read your next effort.)

I'd play the game of which that was in-game footage. I hope the bat doesn't have peridontitis.

On-topic, poking at Recettear having bought it impulsively in the Steam sale. I tried Morrowind...

Thanks for the info on Rollercoaster Tycoon, folks! I eventually went with 1 and 3 - 2 doesn't seem to add much according to the GOG forums, don't know if that's right.

I'd also like to know which one to buy (if you were to pick one), or at least what the key differences are among the three. I've never played any of the series, and I know there are several people...

Steam has Jet Set Radio for 2 euro in a week-long deal and Rayman: Oranges for five as part of the Ubi sale. I can recommend Rayman, which has lovely graphics and a lot of exploring. It's very much...

Hentzau (aka Scientific Gamer) liked it for the most part - see http://scientificgamer.com/thoughts-sang-froid/. His criticisms basically amount to "it lacks polish".

Played the first couple of levels of Rayman: Oranges. I'm crap at platformers, and I can tell I'm not doing particularly well here already, but the animations are sufficiently well done and...
