I had a post all written with what I got yesterday and the whole dang tab disappeared

Stusue, tell sis we're sorry about her fall, hope it doesn't turn into something serious and I think it's a good thing she didn't get on that long flight. 

Just checked BFG and saw Archie, dling now,  With all these free games I don't have mu;ch need to buy any games.  I wonder how much more money they make off these than a regular game.  I don't spend any money on them and if I hadn't already pretty much stopped buying because of finances I would pretty much stop buying because of FTPs.  I used to fill a card or two every month with Daily Deals and other sale games, but I haven't spent hardly any real money since the Mother's Day GCC sale almost 2 years ago.  I bet I haven't spent more than $50 since then.  What with waiting for BOGOs and only paying membership 3 or 4 times a year, they're really not making any money from me.  I'd bought some GCCs when they had the 25% off sale, just in case, and I probably have enough to last me the rest of the year.

I bought
Hidden Expedition CE
Nightmare of the Deep Siren's Call CE

Mysterium
Dangerous Games
Awakening Skyhook
Haunted Train
Amarinthine Living Mountain
Mythic Wonders Philosopher

         

sunshine, thanks for your comment on the game.  I plan to get it on a BP Monday.

Today I tried the new Mystery Expedition: Prisoners of Ice.  I quite like it because it takes place in the Arctic...I could really feel the atmosphere of the game.  I don't think I've played a game in this setting.  There are morphing objects, achievements, and coins to collect which you can use to purchase items in the igloo...all this in a SE game.  It goes into my wishlist.

I have uninstalled Archie FTP game....got tired of it and didn't feel like carrying on.

sandhan, wow, you reached level 18 in MC and I'm still at level 17.  You must have spent a lot of time playing that game.  I'm getting tired of it because it's the same HO scenes all the time so I thought I might as well be playing my regular games.  

I just finished Mayan Prophecies: Cursed Island.  It was a nice game and I enjoyed myself.  It had a proper ending.  

Next I will be playing Riddles of Fate: Wild Hunt CE. 

Barre, Govols, lilyr, Oscar, Tee, Sun, Anki, Tirama and Wendy (I hope I haven't missed anyone), both my sister and I really appreciate all your best wishes.    My sister asked me to thank you all.  She said that she feels all warm and special, knowing that people from all around the world, whom she doesn't even know, are thinking of her and hoping she recovers soon. 

Yesterday she woke up very stiff and sore and so spent most of the day in front of the TV, just watching the Olympics, but even that hurt as the back of her head has the huge, now even more painful lump and her neck hurts even more as well, so it was really uncomfortable for her, hurting to lean her head back against the headrest but having even more pain in her neck, not leaning back.    But her headache wasn't as bad, nor her thigh or ears, but her knee was still really bad.  But at least the shock had worn off and her normal pain killers (taken for really bad athritis throughout her entire body, especially her chest) are helping with the pain so she's coping without having to take anything else.  But I sure was happy when she finally got up yesterday so I knew she didn't have a concussion and had woken up. 
 

I also managed to demo - and purchase because it's SO hard that I wanted to keep this one - a new nonogram game on GH - Fantasy Mosaics.  It says that the boards are bigger than any earlier Mosaics game.  I don't know about that but after only a few levels I was up to 20x15 boards that I kept on making mistakes on and I had to replay and replay ... and replay and replay and replay ... until I finally managed Bronze and could then continue.    It's by far the hardest nonogram game I've ever played - and I'm only up to level 12 or something out of 100!    It's certainly not easy to get Gold, even at this early stage!   

But it doesn't help that, not only are the boards big, but you have so many numbers for each row and column.    That makes it really tricky.  However, what also makes it difficult, and what I really don't like about the game, is that you have to be super careful with the cursor.    If you want to fill an entire row or column, for example, whereas with other games you just start in the first square and then just zip your cursor in the general direction of the bit you want to fill, with this game if you're putting in squares but your cursor exits that line, you'll lose all the squares you've already filled in.  And, if you're putting in dots for the empty squares, wherever your cursor goes it'll put in a dot, whether it's in that line or elsewhere, which meant that I kept on making mistakes when my cursor went into a square that I didn't want to put a dot in.    But all that just ups the ante and makes the boards even harder to finish.  And I really needed to fill in all those dots with the immediately large boards and so many numbers! 

It also has HD graphics and with each level you add something to your Zen garden.  The music's also supposed to be Zen-like music but, unfortunately, it didn't do much for me so I'll be playing my own music while I play.  It's supposed to be a calming game but not with the difficulty I've mentioned!    But then perhaps you'll all find it really easy. 

So, if you like nonogram games and love a challenge, I highly recommend this game when it gets to BFG.
