Hi everyone, it's been a real long time since I've posted here, and I haven't been playing games much at all. Just recently I have started having a little more time for games, and I remembered this forum and wondered how everyone was doing and what you all are playing. I skimmed through this whole 2016 thread and noted a bunch of recommendations!

There are only 3(!) games I've finished since early last year (although there are others I started and didn't finish):
Clutter III: Who Is the Void - I liked this a lot. These games have such a different feel from most other games, and I love that. I'm glad to see there's a new Clutter game out and people seem to be enjoying it. I'll definitely be checking it out eventually but first I'm going back to Clutter II, which I started sometime last year but never finished.

Hello Venice 2: New York Adventure
Heroes From the Past: Joan of Arc
One of the reasons I like to play M3s and other games that don't have a lot of reading and heavy puzzles is that I can play them kind of mindlessly while doing other things like listening to podcasts or half watching something. That's how I played both of these fairly generic M3 games. They were both fun but nothing special.

The other reason I sped through to finish both Hello Venice and Joan of Arc is that I decided to let my yearly Shockwave Unlimited membership expire. They've never had an awesome selection, but they are cheaper than other all-you-can-play subscriptions and I've been a member off-and-on for several years. Lately though, it seems like they don't have more and more of the games I check for.

I may resubscribe someday or I may check out Gamehouse Funpass at some point. But for now I'm going to try to get through some of the many games I've bought from BFG and other places and try out all the many many trials I've got in my downloads folder.
It's nice to have a little more time to play some games and to check in here!

Hi Jen   It's nice to see you again.  Glad you got more time for game playing now.  Do check back in.

Meg...Have fun on your trip.  Sounds like fun and a nice way to celebrate a birthday and make some memories.   The stove cleaning must be over by now so I hope the air smells clean again for you both. 

I am playing the second Haunted Legends...The Bronze Horseman.  It is just like the first one The Queen of Spades with no hint button except in the HO scenes and there are plenty of HO scenes.  It was slow going at first, but this morning I woke up at 5AM and starting playing and the next thing I knew it was 6:30am. 
Meg...Eventually I will make it up to Haunted Legends: Dark Wishes #6 on the list. Just trying to play them in order.  Like you I saved some games to savor them in the future and now that the future is here,  I am finding these games from 2011 to be much different than the newer ones out.

 and welcome back jen!  I love CLUTTER too.  Especially since you can play (most of) it untimed.  I'm playing CLUTTER V, which has 545 separate puzzles.  There's a new game -- Sliders & Jigsaws -- that will come to BFG after Joe has it on his site for a while.  And there will be a CLUTTER VI.

meg -- Enjoy your birthday trip!  I love CODE BLACK too.  I checked a thread on another site that gives ratings for shows and tells which have been renewed.  The only CBS show that had been renewed (as of Feb 9) was THE BIG BANG THEORY.  The ratings for CODE BLACK weren't great, but there might still be a renewal.  I hope so!

Where did this month go?  I just let a PCC expire yesterday, I wrote to CS, hopefully they'll give me another one.  I don't even care that much if they don't, I have so many games I have a hard time choosing any to buy.  GH is still giving me double credits, I usually get TMs or M3s with them.  They just released a Thanksgiving mosaic game, I'll probably get that because I don't have anything for Halloween except for a Fishdom game, and I only have Patchworks for a mosaic game.  They make me laugh, no way in hell I'll ever get the star for quickness, I always take at least twice as long as the time they give and sometimes my finger slips so I lose the star for not making mistakes, too.  I like to go slow and enjoy the picture.  Are there any St. Patrick Day games?  I have The Fool for April 1st, I like that game alright.

I loved that game too, Oscar  Only played the SE so I must remember to see if GH has it so I can play the CE.

I finished both House of 1,000 Door games and really loved both.

Now I've started Kronville: Stolen Dreams. It has mixed reviews but I'm really, really LOVING it. Alawar are my new favourite Devs!

ETA: Yes, GH does have that Lost Lands one. Yippee! Downloading it now ready for another day
