Tirama, congrats!  You've now finished all your CEs from 2012!  WTG!!

I'm not a particular ERS fan.  However, their 50th game is in my top 3 fav games.  I loved it, especially the way you were asked before going through the portal directly to the bonus chapter if you wanted to go back and find any collectibles that you'd missed.  How many games give you that opportunity?

I've finished Laruaville (well, at least I've finished building the town) but missed achievements.  I think you have to just keep playing to get them all.  However, if I remember correctly, I thought that there was 1 or 2 that I thought I'd never manage to get.  Oh, yeah, at least one I'll never be able to get without starting over is playing 20 puzzles as the guy who always gave me mahjong puzzles asked, after I'd said no for the 3rd time, if I wanted to skip them from then on.  I thought I was only saying no to mahjong but I wasn't given any HOSs after that, either, so won't be able to play 20 puzzles.

Thanks for the congrats.  Can't help but wonder which CE I'll buy during the Christmas sale that will still be in my inventory giving me reproachful looks next November.

I assume you're referring to Reveries: Sisterly Love Collector's Edition?  I think it's one of ERS better efforts, but I played it within days of finishing Living Legends: Frozen Beauty Collector's Edition, which along with several other games, has a similar storyline so it had a bit of been there played that feeling.

I just got the trophy for 10 puzzles.  The Ho and mahjong puzzles don't alternate, so far (I'm somewhere in the 30's levels) there have been more mahjongs than HO's.  So, the achievement is either for 10 puzzles in a row without hints OR 10 mahjongs.
 

Barr - that's kinda how I felt about 9 Clues, glad it was done.

I started Engima Agency Case of Shadows. A little short on story to start, I'm not sure who the smoke guy is supposed to be or where from.  Good graphics, some nice interactive puzzles like little Rube Goldberg machines.  I've come across one of my least favourite type puzzles in the library lock.  a round pic you have to move pieces around to create a whole, but of course 6 or 7 pieces move each time. blech.  So far it is interesting with some (for me) new aspects and more involved puzzles.  Some easy ones too.

sunshinej, I downloaded the card game onto my Vista laptop and it worked fine.  I've already forgotten but I think there were 13 or 15 games.  Maybe more.  Boy do I have a memory  like a sieve.  Anyway, I won Go Fish (5 to 4, 2 and 2) and I also won War.  In Go Fish I played against a parrot, some other animal that I've already forgotten, and one human.  And I chose to have them all talk.  But boy am I cute!  If you want, you get to choose your facial structure, hair, skin tone, mouth, nose, eyebrows, glasses, blouse, voice, etc.  So have fun!

Hi stusue...I d/l game on win7 and it works fine.  Made up a few people so far and played War.  It was nice that they had a slider bar to make the other people chatty to serious.  I think I will get this one not only does it have the two games i wanted pinochle & canasta, but it also has euchre, which i always wanted to try.

Anki...Sorry you lost your progress in your Way Out West game.   I hate when that happens.  When that happened to me with Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn I couldn't bear to restart it to try it again.  I was so mad.  Now after a few months I am finally able to think about trying it again.

Hi.  There was a mention of POND FRIENDS a few pages back.  Someone said they seemed anti-BFG.  It's really only one thread (BFG News) and only a few posters in that thread.  They get really revved up when one poster comes in and tries to balace the negatives.  Other than that I love the site!

I agree with you TiramaSue. I don't go there much because of all the negativity. Plus, they don't talk about games that much there. I only go there to find out what the newest beta test game is. It kind of annoys me that there lobbying the devs to not put there games on BFG. Not to mention their new favorite name for them is ridiculously childish in my opinion.

ETA: Forgot to mention, I think I'm going to play a bit of Myths of the World: Chinese Healer CE tonight. I meant to play this a while ago but never got around to it. Now that the new game is out I think I'll finally dive into it.
