Hi JIm,

I'm also a government employee about your age, working in DC.

I'm new to GOG too and I've found it to be a super gaming resource. This summer sale has really lightened my wallet. I'm almost ashamed of the number of games I bought, but they were such a great deal I couldn't pass on them.

Seems like a really friendly community, but I would steer clear of any threads with a political or social theme, as it can get ugly. I've decided to stick to gaming and just focus on the great games here. I had given up on PC gaming some years back but GOG has opened up a whole new approach for me.

Good evening!

I am an avid reader, averaging between 40 and 50 books read a year. A member of Goodreads, I have over 3,000 books on my TBR (To Be Read) shelf. I like contemporary fiction, nonfiction (especially about baseball, music and travel), science fiction, urban fantasy, classics (I've read *In Cold Blood* by Truman Capote; *The Count of Monte Cristo* by Alexander Dumas, one of the best books I ever read; *Tess of the D'Urbervilles* by Thomas Hardy; *The Old Man and the Sea* by Ernest Hemingway; * O Pioneers!* by Willa Cather; and *Dubliners*, James Joyce's collection of fifteen short stories), mysteries, horror, and thrillers.

What books do you read?

Jim

Where would I announce that I made a purchase? It was a free adventure game called *Beneath a Steel Sky*. I also wishlisted ten games.

Seems people are using this thread for posting games they've bought

Hello, my name is Kleetus and I'm special. Oh, just shut up Mr Self-Appointed Forum Police.

Not really sure that qualifies as a "purchase". That's one of the games which are available for free just for making a GOG account.
Sidenote, it's a brilliant adventure game. Definitely one of the best. I highly recommend it.

I would agree with that; some of the comments there can get pretty vile. (One thread I made, where my first (and only) post just consisted of links to news about a recent, rather tragic, event, ended up being closed because the comments got so nasty, and this is on a forum with practically no moderation.)

Funny note: The word "vile" in that paragraph was previously "viable", which was clearly the wrong word in that context. Why did I make *that* particular mistake?

Edit: Have you tried Ultima 4 and Tyrian 2000 yet? (The latter has some pretty funny data cubes; make sure to actually read them.)

I also haven't been around for long despite my joining date. Didn't figure out the forum until few months ago. Enjoy your stay. There are fun and friendly people here and it's nice to hang around with them

I've been here every day for the past three years and I haven't come close to figuring it out!
How the hell did you? :P

Hi Jim, welcome :)
