hiii all Im back and have read up on what I missed.

Wendy-I own Fairies and just got it within the last year as a DD. I tried to play it, got to the 3rd picture and dexed it. It was sooooo boring. Not only that since its timed, the timer would always run out and Id have to play levels over and over even when I was almost done. The fairy voice bugged me too. 

My oldest bought games are a headache and would take forever...so I get to them when I can...I did just play Hidden Expedition-Amazon which was the 2nd game I ever bought and I never finished it because I thought the puzzles were too hard. This time I dominated it. Oh how times change. 
So here are my 5 (not including the ones on the pc side):
go go gourmet-currently playing it now
kuros
Love & Death-Bitten
Mummy's Treasure
Spirit Soup-The Queensbury Curse

Kuros & Spirit Soup are adventure only games so time consuming and Mummy's Treasure is like a physics based game and its long but you can skip levels but they get really hard. I think Love & death is a vampire game...

On this list should also be Avenue Flo. Its half done on my moms laptop. Im at a part where I can't do it fast enough with the touchpad so I need a mouse and every time I use it, I forget about the mouse and have no access to it. go figure.

Oscar I loved Arcelia Island... I wouldn't say its the best game ever but there's just something about it that really kept my interest. Id replay it, thats how much I liked it.

I have finished 7 Wonders- Mystery Magical Tour. It was OK. I managed to get 3 stars on every wonders so I was able to do the 8th. Nothing special at all, just picking up aliens.
I´m "cleaning" my computer (dexing and deleting games that I don´t want to have anymore, many horrible GameGiveAways) and then I found this (I have bought it elsewhere).

Stuesue, since they closed the office in Cork, we never get any translated games.
They only release the CE and  a swedish game as DD.

If I want to get a game in swedish it have to be on Zylom, but their prices are horrible so I only buy if there´s a sale on older games.

I tried to follow GOGs insomnia sale and I only bought a couple.
I looked at the Shiny Lot and wanted some games but forgot it...
(Hubby has our credit card locked, so I must tell him when I want to buy so he can unlock it, he has been getting afraid of all the internet hijackings)

Thanks for confirming that for me, Anki.  It's as I thought.  They must do the French/German translations in Seattle.  But what a pity that it's so hard to get games in Swedish, or at least so expensive. 

I thought the GOG Insomnia sale was so much fun - although it was very hard to leave it to go to bed .  I can't remember how many games I ended up getting but I think maybe 5 or 6.  They were all really super cheap ones and a few of them were games that I think would be too hard for me (action games) but that I'd like to try as they're classics.  So I didn't mind getting them for only a dollar or 2 as, if I don't like them or am really bad at them like I suspect, I'm not really out of pocket that much.  I like trying out new genres when I can get cheap classics as you never know what you're going to like until you try them.

I got quite a few games from Shiny Loot right at the beginning when they started as their start-up sales were fantastic.  But just recently when they had their $1 sale I was only able to get one - Faerie Solitaire - as I already had all the other good ones that interested me.

But I have all the game sites I buy from open in tabs whenever I get on the internet so first thing every morning I get on and check them after I've checked my emails, more often than not hoping none of them have any great sales as I don't want to spend any more time checking them all out.    But I have a list of LFA games I want to get but won't get until they're at least 75% off so I check every day so as not to miss one of those.

I just hope there are more older games on BFG in Swedish that you or your daughter like that you haven't already got. 

The info about the foreign language games was in the memo written by Paul Thelen

I tried 15 minutes of the new Christmas Carol game.  I've never much cared for the story but I think I will get the SE if it comes out before Xmas, which I'm sure it will.  I have one lonely PCC expiring mid January, so this would be a good game to use it on.  I used to love the morphs and collectables but now I don't really care that much.  They change verrry sloooowly in this game and I just found myself sitting there staring at the screen looking for a penguin instead of paying attention to the story/game.  You can only click on it when it's a penguin, so if you want to see what it morphed from you have to wait forever for it to change and then morph back to a penguin again.  The SE will be good enough for me.  Oh, I tried it in casual mode, and there's a lot to do and look at in each scene, casual made it incredibly sparkly so I think I will play at a more advanced setting after I buy it.  Although it did make it even more Christmassy  Someone complained about there being an airmail envelope, but a carrier pigeon delivered it, so it was obviously a joke, get a sense of humor, please 
   I can't believe I wrote so much about a game that I wasn't going to get maybe it did give me a little Xmas spirit, it's around 80 here so it's hard to get in that mindset.  I'm going to focus on snowy games this month.
