But Sniper Elite? That game is in no way bad. Crank that poo poo up to Realistic and enjoy the finest sniper sim ever. :colbert:

Quiet, you! I'm trying to bag the game by latching onto the GOG community's labeling it as terrible.

please brer bear, don't throw this briar patch of a game at me, especially not at * at * dot com.

I was thinking about getting one of the Creatures games...

Are they all good and I should get them all or does one game outshine the rest and basically makes them obsolete?

Also a Quasipox is a small form of North African rodent that can chew through tin in a matter of minutes. They are well known for developing a taste for human blood, specifically the blood of small children and babies, though that's likely because the blood is just easier to get to the younger they are.

Every year in many rural villages across North Africa there is the great Quasipox hunt (september ninth, the most active time for the Quasipox) as all the able bodied males gather any weapons they can find and rampage across the countryside, killing every rodent they can find and digging up huge areas of ground in order to root them out. Every year at least a dozen men die during the hunt, sometimes as many as fifty and every year the Quasipox returns, returns to feast on the delicious flesh of those north african babies.

I'll take the Master of Orion 1+2 pack if I'm picked.

Sniper Elite is a horrid little game and I pity whoever has that abortion of a game gifted to his or her account. Especially when the giftee is a Frog Doctor of sorts. (you're welcome ;))

Quasipox is a mysterious illness that occasionally afflicts artificial intelligences. The primary symptoms are moroseness and a general sense of impending doom. Extreme cases of quasipox can render an AI incapable of performing it's functions. No physical causes of the illness has been found yet. Scientists theorize that it is caused by the AI's inability to cope with the accumulation of negative life experiences. The only known method of treating quasipox is a complete memory wipe.

Got my Blood II code in the mail, can confirm that as ominous as Quasipox may be, he's a pretty cool guy.

Also picked up the MegaRace games for the FMVs and Another World. Don't know when/if I'll ever play these, especially since we got Tyrian free. Never heard of it before but with music composed by Alexander Brandon it has to be good by default.

Woo hoo! Thanks for the Sniper Elite, Quasipox!

This is stirring the philanthropod in me: I am thinking of a number between one and three. First three forum posters to guess it gets a three dollar game of their choice.

I'm curious, but not enough to look through the Steam thread: has Steam dropped the bomb on their December sale yet, or are they waiting until the last minute/week to do so? (Or was Thanksgiving it?)

Starts tomorrow from what I was told. Ends on the third.

Edit: I'm starting an Icewind Dale game. Normal difficulty, but I'm just going to accept the stats as they lie, and try really hard (this will last a dungeon or two) not to reload, but to just add new characters as I need them. This will probably be the end of me if I manage not to reload to much.

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.
I just picked up Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, and Neverwinter Nights for $21 :hellyea:

Also, (a little off topic) has anyone heard anything about that moddb digital distribution service since their initial announcement?

Seems to be up and running... the humble bundle 2 games register on it. Allegedly. More than that I can't tell you, but it looks very Steam-y.

Give me your email and I'll send you one of those games (whichever you want).

I second the trip report idea; maybe include some screenshots and general impressions. I'm curious how some of my "gifts" are.


To change it up, if you would like a game, I want to see your best MSPaint/Photoshop of the cover. I think that would be fun.

Haha, Quasibox actually sent me Riven. Thanks, man. I was expecting Blood II or something.

I bought Redneck Rampage and MDK2 from GOG last year because I had fond memories of playing the demos that came with the CGW magazines. Unfortunately, some of these older action games haven't aged well. :(
