Dark & Eerie Games Thread

Esme, my heart goes out to you over the loss of your dog.

luvtoread, I'm so sorry to hear about your in-laws.

Gosh, it really has been a rough week.


Ok, I can't pronounce Neuschwantstein (evidently can't spell it, either) but I'll surely demo it after reading your review, luvtoread. 

As far as new games go, nothing looks very interesting right now (to me). Haunted Hotel: Eternity is scheduled for release Saturday.
I think I'm headed towards a game slump, so now would be a great time to catch up on my books!

I must warn you Mystery of Neu-whatever is a tough game to play. I use the hints a lot!

esme--MT-I thought Owl Man was cool, but the culprit was easy to figure out.
Also, I could not help but notice the bosoms on Mama.

I have 2 game credits I'd like to use buy a CE (or possibly 2  on Monday while the weekend's sale codes still work, AND I get the pcc for them, but can't decide from my long list of CEs I must have... I'm weighing in in favour of Mystery Trackers - that's an absolute buy, but it doesn't have to be right now, but that's true of them all I guess. Then there's Cadenza 2. But then there's all 4 of Eipix recentmost games...

Thanks for the warning, luvtoread. I haven't gotten around to the demo yet, but hope to sometime today.
I don't mind a tough game as long as I'm having fun while I'm stumped. I usually get aggravated then bored if I'm not enjoying the game.

Developers----I just can't stress the importance of a good, strong, cohesive storyline and also, the placement of HO scenes and puzzles/mini-games. If the flow isn't there, the game has a tendency to get pretty darned messy with too much reliability on the Hint button to figure out what to do next.
Just sayin'.

Justie, no help here because while I have the new MT, Cadenza 2, and MOTW, I haven't played them yet. The way I figure it is, you can't go wrong with an Eipix or Mad Head game!

I'm playing Beyond the Unknown: (CRS) and glancing at the percentage I've already completed, it'll be a mighty short game unless something drastic happens.

Lol, I got sidetracked!!

I turned on my computer to find out about this "Listeria" that's causing recalls of certain ice cream products. Sounds like a very serious, some kind of food/dairy bacteria.
I've never heard of it, so I'm off to do a Google search.

Oh my gosh, it's a horrible thing.

I get so paranoid when it comes to any kind of food bacteria. I have heard of e-coli, salmonella, botulism, and the usual suspects.

Though I don't buy the brands affected by the recall (so far), no more ice cream for the hubs and I. He loves his ice cream, too. I don't eat it often.

Thanks everybody. Things still seem sad and weird, but I think that will be how it is for a while now. 

Anyway, I started to play Lost Lands: Four Horsemen twice now and it just bugs me for some reason. Maybe it's because our character looks a little too much like Sarah Palin? The hermit guy thinks we are just some fragile female? I dunno. I'm going to stop playing it for a while and see about finding a different game. I just can't get into this one. 

You guys liked it though, didn't you? Is it worth my time to give it a third try later on? 

DJ, my hubs is paranoid about food bacteria too. Makes it fun to take him to family get-togethers!  Though I must confess, I rarely eat treats brought in by students. You just never, ever know!

I had to! 

Wow, no posts for four days?  Y'all have been busy!  Playing Broken Age, maybe, since part 2 is finally out?

I've been so swamped with work... I'm sorry! I'll try to do better. 

Damn work!   How dare it interfere with our social and gaming time!

Instead of D & E   lets go to Bright and Cheery   IT'S  A GIRL!!  







They now have an Heir and a Heiress.

Back to our D & E

At my house, it's a BOY!

Finch says hello. 

OMG! He's gorgeous! 

  Finch!

And what is with that tongue!! 


Congratulations on your new baby, esme. He's a lucky dog to have found such a loving mum. 

My goodness...he's a cutie.

Like JTF,  my first thought was  "Look at that tongue!"  


This is National Pet Week in the US   (of course,   all can celebrate   )

That big, goofy grin-- complete with tongue-- was one of the things that made me fall for him. 

Thanks everyone. I was grieving pretty hard over Bubba, and this silly boy has helped me more than he knows.

How is your female dog doing?

Well, she's a little out of sorts. Finch won't leave her alone. He's still got his hormones out of whack since his neutering on Friday and she has raw ears from her allergies that he won't stop licking. She's exhausted... it's sort of funny though. When we got her she used to drive our older boy nuts so it's like pay back time. I'm sure it will all settle down eventually though. 

Thanks for asking!

How is everyone doing?    Finally,  warm weather is here,    unusually warm weather    

I have been playing games I really enjoy. I played the latest Puppetshow #159.
I think its because they finally changed the story line that I enjoyed it.
I am now playing the new Haunted Hotel: Eternity and finding the story intriguing,
especially as Det. Glory Hog is not included.

Well, hope soon everyone can stop in, I miss you all.

*rushes in room, hugs luvtoread, then POOFS again*

Hi everybody!

Esme, love your new big-boy! He's so darn cute!

We've got a lot going on here & I haven't been gaming much. I'm now replaying The Fog because I enjoyed it so much the first time around and it's a freakin' good scary game.

Gosh, the tech issues on recent releases are terrible. I've only bought one CE game and it was the new Amaranthine Voyage.
The demo of Ominous Objects 2 refused to play on my computer after the first HO scene. Weird thing was...the beta played fine.

I had another game...hmm, can't remember the title...I think I was almost finished, got to the robot arm and the damn game froze up on me. I went to the BF game forum for that game and apparently, numerous people have reported problems with the stupid robot arm.
So, techie me (NOT), did the only thing I could think of...uninstalled it (hopefully, completely) and I'll reinstall it eventually.

I did play the new Redemption Cemetery SE. I'll just say I've got a few other ERS SE's and I'm in NO hurry at all to play them. They're at the bottom of my list and will stay there.

I hope y'all are doing well and it's good to see ya!

I finished HH-Eternity.    I enjoyed it but the ending had me a little  

Our intrepid Detective is made an offer at the end of the game which made me smile.

The ending itself had me thinking:   "There is still a slight problem here".   Especially after
the whole story is revealed.    But if they didn't seem to concerned,   then I guess I won't
worry about it.
I tell you,  though.   We really get some accommodating bad guys,   cause I wasen't exactly
being quiet or stealthy at the end.  

I cannot believe in such a short time we went from cold to really hot.   It is 80 out there,
and humid.

Aus, on the other hand went from high 70s in the day and below 50F that same night. And stayed there (below 50) since. We are into the depths of winter without passing go (autumn) at all, and we are still a month from winter! Gonna be a long hard season for me I guess.
