I don't think BF will get Testament of Sherlock.  It was released in North America  25 Sept 2012.  I imagine the developers aren't willing to see it for 6.99.  I've seen it listed elsewhere for 19.99.

I'm in the basement doing laundry and playing Crime Line.  You listen to everybody's story and then pick the guilty one.  The case I just did was based on the Trayvon Martin case in Fl., where he was shot by security guard George Zimmerman.   I was weird because when I picked the security guard to interview, he admitted shooting the kid.  And then the game asks me to pick who shot the victim???  Well, the guy told me he did it so who else would I pick????  It was totally stupid. 

 

Hey guys long time no talk..I really have been meaning to but my firefox would not let me access this website for some reason. It would bring me there but the second I would try to get into this chat area, it would say "the request timed out...this could be your internet, blah blah blah"...it also does it to some other pages...so anyways I finally decided to download google Chrome and see what happens and waaa laaa it works.

Part of why I haven't been in here is because for a long time, I wasn't playing any games. Recently its all the same game it seems and I cancelled my BFG membership ages ago. So I am playing all the games I had before and never got to and some new ones but very few. Usually I just do TMs or anything by Mad Head Games. 

Right at this moment I am playing Final Cut: Homage and I am really liking it which is strange to me because I really couldn't stand the second one in this series. Prior to this one I played 7 Roses-A darkness Rises. It was pretty good. BFG doesn't have it. My hubby taught me how to get some games for free...long story. Besides the Fantasy Mosaic games which I LOVE, most new hogs just don't appeal to me. The best one lately I have played was Subliminal Realms: The Masterpiece CE. Its the usual fare of a painter trying to find his family in a painting world LOL but the game play was so creative and it made the game so exciting. I gave it 5 stars....

Anytime the "always give 5 stars reviewers" rate something low, I usually love it lol I don't get those people. They even say sometimes in their reviews that they dislike the game yet give it 4-5 stars. But then the people in the forums are no better. You get honest reviews but no one really leaves reviews anymore.

Anyways just wanted to say hi. Now that I have got my google chrome working I will try to come visit more often. Hope everyone is doing great 

 Meg!  I've been thinking about you lately.   Good to see you here.  I love Google Chrome.  It seems to work very well for me.  I was never that keen on the Ravenhearst story line from the very first game.  I have bought KEY and UNLOCKED but didn't (and won't) buy ESCAPE.  I feel the same as you do about most HOGS/HOPAS.  And then there's the huge backlog of unplayed games that I already own.

I finished Mystery Trackers: Blackrow's Secret Collector's Edition.  This one wasn't as good as Raincliff's Phantoms.  It felt like the developers put a lot of effort into gimmicky things, like the Secret Room, and that silly device that allowed you to see events on the past, and not much thought into the hidden object scenes.

I really hated that device.  You needed to recharge it after every use, which wouldn't have been a big deal, but you also needed to use it to find the collectibles vases (which when touched in the collectible room, opened up to reveal toads - what's with the developer's fascination with toads?).  so if you found the eye that triggered the vision of the past before you found the collectible, you had to wait until you found another battery to recharge the devise, AND you had to hope that you were allowed to return to that area to search for the collectible.

Started playing Mystery Trackers: Nightsville Horror Collector's Edition.  So far it's better than Blackrow's Secret  but I wish the developers would make the story lines more like the first game in the series, with the villain just an ordinary human bad guy, instead of all this occult/possessed people/evil ghosts nonsense.
