stusue -- {{{HUGS}}} feel better soon. Take care of yourself. No need to apologize.
oscar -- I'm looking forward to the new Playrix too. I do hope we get another GARDENSCAPES though. I really enjoy Austin.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I felt the same way about Shawdow Wolf Oscar. I just thought it was alright. Not the greatest game. Didn't get a chance to play anything yesterday. Maybe tonight.
Lexi is doing better. Though she seems a bit down today. but I think that is mostly because my dad left yesterday for Canada for a business trip. He'll be back Thursday evening. She always misses him something awful.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I haven't started any new games. We continue to have storms during the day.
I have managed to finish all the level of Magic Heroes: Save Our Park.
I'm very disappointed in this game. I was able to complete upgrading the park so early (we're talking finishing with 50+ levels left to play) but continued on to get all the achievements. Well, there's a problem with the achievements, 2 of them were not rewarded. (Excellent Progress: For beating the third stage Mission Accomplished: For completing the game )
I had a wonderful day at Midnight Castle. In the BF forum, there was a thread regarding how it's feast or famine with getting items and I posted about how the game just refuses to let me win the Tiger egg on the fortune wheel, and then to rub it in, I lose playing dice against the dragon (beating the dragon 80 times is another way to win the egg) for the 24 hours that the egg is on the fortune wheel. This had happened to me twice.
Within 5 minutes of my post, I received 2 pm's from people offering to give me tiger's eggs. I accepted the offers, updated my wish list, and took a break to eat dinner and watch a dvd. When I finished, there was yet another pm offering me an egg, and yet another person had seen the egg on my wish list and sent it to me.
And to think I was so afraid to get back into this game because I didn't know anybody who played it and figured people only wanted to be friends with people they already knew.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Bad news guys. The vet called and the tests came back that it is cancer. My dad is out of town until Thursday. We are going to figure out what we are going to do then. Though my dad says that he wants to get a second opinion. The vet did say that we can do radiation or chemo for three sessions. But that would only get her a year.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I am so very, very to read this misscatlady. {{{HUGS}}} to Lexi and all of you. I think, in part, it would depend on the quality of that year. Try to get some idea of how much treating her would take out of her versus how long she might have a good quality of life without treatment.
Again. I am so very, very sorry.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I started Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom Collector's Edition and I'm somewhere in chapter 3. There's a prologue and 10 chapters. It feels quite pleasant to play a FROG, but it makes me sad to see that this series has also gotten much more simple than it once was. I really loved putting all the beutiful objects together in The Dark Prince. I wish developers would start putting more hidden object scenes back into Hidden Object Games.
I just noticed stusue's post. Get well, stusue. We need you to find sales and review games.
This is the week we should be getting our 60% off coupon. Mine hasn't arrived yet.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
There was something about the FROG scenes in Jack and the Sky Kingdom I didn't like. The graphics in the game seemed murky, not quite so sharp.
I am calling Gardenscapes 2 done. I am having a technical issue after the last scene. The game will just not let me close it, I cant even c alt del, I actually had to turn it off. I can't go back in under this name to keep having sales to get the achievements. But the garden is all fixed up so I am done. I noted there was an update July 2013, perhaps that solved the issues. Generally I try to remember to check these things if I am playing an older game, lesson learned I was playing from an earlier dl.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Thanks so much for your kind words, guys! 
I'm feeling a tad better today and I'm going to see if I'm up to playing a HOPA. Today's soft release was also released by GameHouse today so I'm going to see if I can play that. If so, a review will hopefully magically appear later!
