I ended up getting Apothecarium and Awakening The Goblin Kingdom today with my GCC. I was able to get the BOGO and the bonus punches. I decided to do that instead of paying $6.99 for a second GCC to get two CEs. I'll save that for next BOGO. Doing this still filled up a card so I have a PCC to use. Undecided if I'm going to use it today or save it until next Monday.

I started out with Real Arcade.  That was back in the olden days when games were released every other week (4-6 of them) and you had to use you club credits within 30 days.  Oh, and extra games cost full price (unless you were sneaky and had more than one club membership, but then you had to remember what you bought with each identity).   Then real life got hectic and I quit.

When I was ready to get back into gaming, Real Arcade has just merged with Game House.   A number of my games would not work (I had changed from XP to Win7) and worse, some of my games were gone.  Seems Game House refused to support or give access to games produced by Big Fish.  So I lost 3 MCF games.  Supposedly GH was giving people credits for the lost games (and big whop, now you had 2 months to use your credits instead one 1 month), but people were posting on the message boards that GH was giving them a very hard time about those missing or unplayable games.

So I decided to just walk away.  DH sometimes plays some of the games he can still access, but I've drawn a line.  THe GH site is cluttered wth outside ads and always drops tons of cookies for all sorts of carp on my machine.  I decided that if I was going to have to go to Big Fish to get my MCF games, I'd get all my games there.

The ads issue has kept me away from Gazebo also, Sick of seeing ads for avatars of scantily clad women, and most of their focus now seems to be on games for mobile devices, facebook games, or the types of PC/Mac games that would never come to BF (aimed at men who like to shoot things).

All this talk about using the BOGO codes today is making me forget I have to use a PCC today.  Off to check that Green Moon will work on my machine, then I think I'll see if there's anythng I want to listen to over on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

You're welcome, tee.  

I'm just going to ask that we not let all this freedom go to our heads.  We're a culturally diverse group and I'd hate to see us all bickering over politics or religon. (That's not a complaint about anybody's signature quote, to make myself clear.)

I also hope people will show some restraint in their choice of avatars.  There's some cool ones out there that move and flash and on there own, they look nice.  But when an entire page loads and everybody has an animated avatar, with animations in their signature, and more animations in their message, it can feel like you're in a gaming arcade.

I don't remember if anybody in our group has had to pass up any games due to flashing lights, but out of respect to them and to those who may have limited download capabilities, maybe we could have a separate thread where people could post those types of things so that they can be viewed by those interested, and the people who want to give it a miss for whatever reasons don't have to set there profiles so that they can't see any avatars, which would be a shame because there's some really beautiful ones being used.

Okay, just checked out Green Moon, it works on my machine, so I just acquired t using a PCC.  I started Asian Riddles last night.  Finished 24 puzzles.  First batch of 12 were all 10x10.  Second batch of 12 started out 10x10, and then changed to 10x15.

Oh, oh, Tirama, I'm guilty of using animations..sorry.  I shall go back and delete some of them.

Tirama, thanks but I think I shall just leave out emoticons since nobody here is really interested in them.
I'm glad you like my avatar....it's easy to make one for yourself.  Just take any picture you like and select avatar size and I think the program will resize it for you.
I'm glad you like the doll, if nobody minds I will post more doll pictures because the friend of mine is really talented.
