    No, no no - now it is freezing on me!! So much for the tough guy act. *sigh* guess I'll have to think of something else.

    I just noticed the Mystery Valley reference too, djrum, I don't really remember much about it, but it was my first ever review on big fish, and I was not nice lol. Rated it a 2/5. Mainly because it was gloomy and drab, and the typos. The translations in this one aren't perfect either, but I'm much more into grunge now than then lol

    I went on to  BF  FB...I posted I could not access their site.   This was about an hour ago.
    I just went back to see if there was a response.     Could not find my post.
    So...reposted again.   Made sure that the post was posted  (which I am positive my first
    post was posted).
    So.....I am glad at least  dj  is successful with playing.

    I am wondering if the site is just getting overwhelmed,  like they have in the past with other
    games  (MCF anyone?)

    Justie, hope it works for you soon.  You're in for a treat.   Smile

    So far, my only (minor) gripe is that they were determined to give me those popup tutorial boxes, even though I clicked on 'No Tutorial'.  I also kept clicking on 'Skip Tutorial' every time a box popped up.   Huh?

    luvtoread, I only played part of the demo. I will pair it with something else & take advantage of the sale. I hope when I get around to installing it, it works.

    I'm currently playing Danse Macabre. On a side note...Esme, really?? There are morphing objects in this game??  Huh?

    Yes, djrum, there are morphs in Danse Macabre.

    Finally got True Fear sorted out. very long game. am nowhere near finished and have been at it for hours.

    While it is not technically first rate (there are errors, inconsistencies, blah blah blah) and not scary MOST of the time, it is TENSE all the time. The music is what puts it up there in terms of atmosphere. Even when there isn't any (music), the silence then feels ominous. A little ironic humour in it too, which I love.

    Just stopped to come up for air. The tension does get a bit strenuous for lil ol me. But this is DEFINITELY for the D&E crowd.

    I don't believe it.   I just posted for the 3rd time in BF's  FB  about not being able to access
    the site.   The other 2 posts have disappeared!!

    ITS A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!   OH!  Huh?

    DJ- Yep, there are morphing objects, but not too many of them. It's not a huge part of the game.

    Hi all,

    This is a JTF rant I guess, not quite up to esme's wittiness though  Yeah right 

     Cry Just completed main game of True Fear, guess I'll have to put it in a
    Spoiler:
    BUT, we do at least get the deleted intro which was so much more scary than the eventual intro (which is still scary enough for me!)

    Anyway, I loved the game, despite inconsistencies etc.

    And the ending scenes are as creepy as the opening ones.

    The continuing Saga of "Problem Loading Page"    Tantrum 

    I did get a response from BF's FB page.    My post for the True Fear  game stuck.
    I thanked him (Justin) for responding.    Another woman said she also could not access
    the site.
    I contacted CS  through the link he gave me.   Odd,  I could get to BF through that link
    but cannot get to their main page through any other link.   Hmm...

    It's odd, Luvto. I was just able to purchase and download it. I use Chrome if that helps. 

    So sorry you are having such problems with it.  Cry Good luck!

    Not sure I'm going to start a game right now though. I'm dealing with either some flu or a wicked sinus infection. Plus I'm thinking about finishing my book first.


    Decisions, decisions! Hmm...

    Luvtoread, I use Internet Explorer, and can get to BFG with no problems.  Have you tried using that?   Smile 

    Justie, glad you finally got it to work.   Big smile   But those 3 words you mention... are also *my* most hated words.   OH!

    I use Firefox and have good success with it.  I have no other problems today,  just BF.

    I am not upset as I am finishing playing The Raven  (I got sidetracked playing Doorways)
    and a group play for The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav  is starting today.
    So will be busy playing games I already own.

    What would be interesting would be one of esme's rants if this were happening to her   Big smile 
    I hope you are feeling better.   I've had a headache today, and that is more than I want
    to deal with!!

    Luvtoread... about your posts disappearing on facebook. There's a wee thing, right above the posts, that says 'HIGHLIGHTS', with a downward arrow next to it. If you click on that arrow, then 'POSTS BY OTHERS', you'll see user's comments there. Hope that helps. Smile

    Well,  I'll be!!  OH!   The odd thing is....(I did what you said and found it)  where I posted no one
    else had.
    At least they did respond, tho.
    Hopefully by tomorrow all will be well with BF.


    It is 12:46 A.M.    BF site is finally behaving itself.   I'd rather be sleeping right now,  but I guess
    I will play a game.   2muchcompy

    Yay, luvtoread, you did it!!  Happy bounce 

    Um...so what exactly is going on with PCCs & bonus punch Mondays & all that stuff? From what I gathered, we won't get a bonus punch if we use a PCC to purchase a game on Mondays?
    The forum at BFG on this topic which was in the True Fear forum turned ugly (as usual & no wonder CCC was closed, just sayin...aren't we all supposed to be adults? Geesh).

    Actually, it always surprised me we were able to use a PCC and still get an extra punch. If this isn't the case, then I don't know what's going on & would certainly appreciate any enlightenment on the subject.  Huh?

    dj---I have a game question for you.   SOS!  I really like True Fear and want to buy.  Seeing as
    we both have the same taste in games,  what should I pair it with?   Dunno 

    I have European Mysteries--which I bought with the Mystery Trackers at the last CE sale.

    Either that,  or I will just wait for the SE to come out.

    LMAO, luvtoread, you won't believe this...but I paired True Fear with Dark Romance (that vampire game) because I'd read it had some good puzzles & a fair amount of HO scenes.  Embarrassed 

    I highly recommend the new Hidden Expeditions game, if you don't already have it!!  Two thumbs up

    I already have the HE game.    I really enjoyed that one,  too.   That was one of the better ones.
    Oh well.   Maybe I will wait for the SE.

    The last I heard was that punch credits would give us no punches, UNLESS they were used during a Bonus Punch promotion, where we'd get one punch (not two) for using it.  They could have fixed that by now, though.
