I missed a Games with Gold freebee today. Somehow when I tried to download it earlier in the week, it didn't register. Now it's off the list and I'm out of luck. It was Comic Jumper. It was probably not my type of game anyway, but I'm annoyed because I haven't missed a single one until now.
I got through page 150 before my deadline ended. There's no way to note that on Goodreads.
It was a 50th anniversay edition with a preface by Mailer. He said some interesting things about being influenced by Tolstoy. Something about developing empathy for the characters. I noticed he used an omniscent narrator and got deeply into the heads of all the characters.
I also noticed his use of the word "fug" in place of the other "f" word. I guess that curse was unacceptable in 1948. If it was acceptable, the book would've had the most uses of the "f" word in any book, I think.
I've heard of that. I also realized today that The Orange Box is backwards compatible with XBO, so I can replay Half-life 2 and the added chapters again if I want.
When you get to that phone bit, let me know how you did it. I may return to it.
Gems of War keeps reminding me how much I want to play a new Puzzle Quest game. Why didn't they keep doing those?
I think rotary phones were even a bit outdated when I was growing up in the 80s. It took me a minute to remember how to do it.
I wonder if I can run the iTunes app on my Android phone?
These games are pretty good. The fighting is fun and the skill trees are complex. Do the STEAM copies give you all the characters to play digitally?
Why isn't there a remaster of Half-Life 1, 2 for today's systems? It's a crime.
