Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
lilyr- yes, I received a total of 4 punches when I used my coupon and got a CE.
oscar66 - I didn't see the post you mentioned, but there's certainly been an increase in the amount of loaded language being used.
In addition to getting Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride Collector's Edition, I used a pcc and got Fill and Cross: World Contest. I could have completed my card with today's soft release, Fill and Cross Pirate Riddles, but I'll wait until the last Monday of the month to get it.

Tirama I meant the post that Barre quoted here. I never posted in the thread in question at BFG. I havent posted there in a really long time, and usually just help for someone stuck somewhere.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I loved World Contest and finished on my IPad. The best things about those games is I could replay it again tomorrow. I find that if I'm replaying a puzzle because I didnt get all the stars I always seem to start it differently. It's weird. I had one in the other one like this and I had to replay the puzzle at least 5 times and kept making the same blooming error! I hate when it gets to a point where you have to make an assumption you need a 2 here and a 2 there and there are several options and no way to narrow it down. often times the pattern is no help. I'm going to try the pirate one.

I was referring to the post where you mentioned somebody posted that they wouldn't be spending as much at BF and then that person revealed that 2/3's of their "spending" was using PCC's.
In case people are confused by what I meant by "loaded language", I'm referring to phrases and buzzwords used to appeal to the emotions. Phrases such as "only in it for the money" and "loyal customer".
People in general have become rather lazy and imprecise in their use of language. I know I have. I speak of "buying" games when what I've really done is "acquired" them by the use of pcc's and other free game codes.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
oscar, the link was soo cute!
I have finished European Mystery: The Face of Envy CE. I liked it very much. I got all the achievements 
It was set in Rome and I´ve been there so it was fun to recognize some of the places (even they have made them their own way 
) I liked the graphics and sound and the puzzles were not too hard.

Just noticed on my game manager that there's an update for World Mosaics Chroma (free to play). Downloading now.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Teeitup...I'm confused is your avatar your dog or one just like your dog. If so, what a cute breed and a smart one too. No way was he going to get off the porch to do his business. Not with the temps you had.
lilyr...You must be playing the first Clutter. Leon sure did like showing his face in that one, if I remember right. Have you tried Hodgepodge Hollow or Allora and the Broken Portal. They were both good and fairly easy. Also I just bought Love Alchemy: A Heart in Winter. That seemed bright (I just played the demo) Reminded me of a Dana Knightstone game.
oscar...That link is adorable.
Tirama...I see know what you mean about loaded language. Yes, there is a lot of that going on.
I was upset at first about the pcc's last monday. Since then I have been thinking about how promotions and business work. I think we were fortunate to have a bonus punch on a pcc for as long as we did. I know I took advantage of it and got many a free game I wouldn't of have otherwise. Also, I have been a customer of Big Fish before there was any of that. And customer of Big Fish or not I don't mind that they did not inform me beforehand. I am a customer to many businesses and they have never informed me first before stopping a promotion.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Sunshine, no that is just a pic of a cute dog I saw. My folks' dog is a 6# white poodle and he is very smart (snow melted off porch so now he can go back in the yard).
lilyr, I got Clutter 3 today and was playing it a little. It's a weird game but I kinda like it. Haven't totally figured it out yet but I do know that I'm absolutely horrible about figuring how to turn the lights all on so probably will be skipping those. Also like sudoku but not so hot at nanograms but there seems to be a lot to keep your busy. Matching the pairs gets tricky toward the end because things are very well hidden. I'm pretty good at STD but this is a little different.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Thanks oscar and sunshinej. I've played all three that you suggested! Yay me. It's not often I can say that.
oscar that was a very cute video. Thanks for sharing.
anki -- I don't know if I own that one. I do own (but haven't played) the 1st.
I bought 2 CEs today and the sale still worked.
I think what got so many people angry was the timing if the change. BFG could just have waited until March 1. They didn't owe us an advanced noptice but it would have been the right thing to do. Poor CS -- they didn't know anything about it until they came to work that morning and then had to field all those calls/emails/Help requests.
