The little Inn by the wayside

Post by **Chroelle** » Tue May 13, 2008 12:37

It must be really exciting, Raillo - to be opening up your own shop like that. It always seems more real when it is no longer in ones own house.

Anna is really sleepy today so she woke up at 6 and at 8 she fell asleep again. She normally goes back to sleep at 12-12.30. But you can really feel she is happy to be home again. She is also showing off her hand to everyone where the IV-tube is no longer in.
I think I will try and post a pic of her from the hospital.

And yet another message about absense... My ISP screwed up and didn't deliver my new router before shutting me off. That means it will be close to a week before I am back online at home. On the good side though I will by then have a 8MB connection, which should help me alot.
But until then I will try to get some things done that I can do offline, since alot of the games I downloaded for validation requires me to be online to play them. Maybe - just maybe - I will do the walkthrough for imdahl... But lets see how much time I will have on my hands.

I think my new ISP is out to pamper me to show me how good they are. This morning in the mail came the modem, so I am already back online. But I did get to start out on my walkthrough for Imdahl so now I might just keep up the good work.

I think I will try to get it done by the end of the weekend if I can. It should generate some traffic. After all the Pan walkthrough has already gotten quite a few downloads, and that is a small game compared to this.

Glad to hear they're sucking up to you.

Losing internet blows.

What's Pan?

La Croix Pan.
I wrote a walkthrough for it some time ago, and it has so far pulled 80 downloads. That is why it is placed on 3. place on the most popular downloads list.
So my newest project will be Sunset over Imdahl, since it doesn't have a walkthrough at all currently. That might draw some attention too.

BTW: Nice new avatar.

Funny enough Scythe and Usul have the same avatar now (just in different sizes) as Usul changed his avatar yesterday night as well...

Hm...Coincidence? I think not.
There must be some alteria motive. Scythe? Who is this lollipoplicking beaut?

It's a GTA IV thing. I'm surprised you haven't seen any of the adverts.

I havent. I'm not interested in modern commercial games and avoid places where they are advertised.

I got huuuge raise. 27%.

Impressive, considering expectations. This belongs to "why are you happy today" methinks.

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Fri May 16, 2008 19:14

Well, since it's advertised on bus stops, it gets kind of hard to avoid them. Unless you live in a basement or something...

Congrats on the raise! We had to settle for much less.

Post by **Chroelle** » Fri May 16, 2008 20:00

And here I am fighting for 14 % and propably not getting it. Grats on the raise eMTe. It was propably deserved.

And Scythe I must remind you that I have been living inside for the last month or so, due to Anna being ill and so on. I haven't seen a single ad outisde the internet and they were trailers the ones I saw there.
So I haven't noticed that particular girl. I am wondering what the prize is for buying whatever console and GTAIV... I really HAVE to play it. This is the first game I have had real trouble with staying away from. I really dont like that they moved away from the PC.

BTW: Just returned home from the Emergency Room (Trauma center) because Tanja came home with a strained ancle. She is not bandaged up and on crotches... My life at the moment....

I have gotten so used to situations like this that this ends up in the BTW-section of my post... That says it all I think.

Scythe · Post by **Scythe** » Fri May 16, 2008 22:15

The console prices went down... ~2500DKr for X360 and ~3500DKr for PS3, including GTA IV, unless you can negotiate that to be included. The PS3 version already got patched due to "issues."

Sprained ankle. Ha. I've had that ~100 times (ok, 100 times when including sprained wrists), it's nothing. She really needs crutches? Ok, I must be real hardcore.

Sorry to hear that, though. Still, it's a pretty small thing, so btw is fine.

Maybe it is advertised on bus stops...in Denmark. I dont remember any game that were advertised outdoor. There's not enough target I think, since piracy is still a problem. Extra advertising action counts as extra loss imho. I'm talking of this particular country.

X360/PS3 piracy is not rampant yet.

But there may not be enough of a target group where you're at anyway, of course. They certainly advertise here. Papers write about it as well, and strangely that particular illustration tends to crop up.

I just read that the rumors are that GTAIV will be out for PC in October... I really truelly hope they are right. I can wait if I know that it will be out. Even though waiting till October is pretty far away.

Isn't it already out in Denmark? It was released here at the end of April.

Post by **Chroelle** » Sat May 17, 2008 15:20

For PC? ...

Ah...You are screwing with me right?

eMTe · Post by **eMTe** » Sat May 17, 2008 15:36

See? I didnt even know it's console-only game. I know nothing about x360/ps3 piracy. I also know nothing about consoles, this must be the reason.

Just imagine that this is the same publisher which brought us Lemmings and some responsible people still work for company.

Tank · Post by **Tank** » Sat May 17, 2008 16:10

Sorry Chroelle, I oversaw the PC part in your post. I was referring to the console version.

I have no release date for the PC version, other than "when it's done"....

Post by **Chroelle** » Sat May 17, 2008 18:08

Well a big part of me really wanted you to be right.

So please tell me... Is it everything it is worked up to be? And how much gametime are we really talking...?
