Wish I could get that now. Played the first 2 seasons of Sam & Max and they were great (Of course, Sam & Max might be my favourite characters ever, so I'm biased), but haven't played any of the 3rd season yet.

How good are their other games?

At least the grind isn't the make your character better since it does that by itself over time.

Eh I am a pilot, I don't like watching the ship fly itself and telling it what to do once in a while. The game felt more like work then fun. Now if the game was more like X3 then maybe I might be more interested.

I bought Operation Flashpoint DR for 4.20 €.
Not as good as the original but for that price I´m not gonna complain

[Bort]

Introversion Complete Pack. What a steal. $5 for 4 games I already wanted. Gotta love it.

[Raptor1]

Yup, just bought it now as well.

Now to completely obliterate the world with nuclear weapons...again...

Don't get pacific storm on Steam. Because of the way things have happened behind closed doors somehow someone forgot to authorize steam to get the last patch. Which adds a VERY important fix that enables multithreading. Which is critical I hear if you want to play anything bigger than the smallest battles.

About EVE online.

If you have not done so yet and can spare the bandwidth for the download. Give the 14 day trial a shot. See if its your cup of tea. If it is not don't play it further. The game is ALL about long term.

The best part about it for me is the ability to purchase ingame "plex" items that add 30 days to your account. Rich people buy them and sell them in game so its a legal way to get gametime and fully supported by CCP. As a result of doing this MANY players came back.

I finally got around to buying the Telltales Pack and Borderlands+dlc.

Well if you could of found me somewhere to get pacific storm for 3 dollars (with no shipping) that wasn't steam then I'd probably go for it, at this point in my life Cheapness is priority.

Grind is grind, and EVE is the biggest grindfest I've ever played (by quite a big margin).

To fly ship A you need skills X,Y,Z (and their prerequisites) which means playing the game (or at least paying your subscription) for a certain number of months (or years, if it's a big ship). Doesn't matter what you do in the meantime or how you do it; the minimum amount of time that has to go by before you can do something interesting is huge.
