I had to use my Gamehouse coupon or lose it so just based on the screenshot pictures I got Grimville: The Gift of Darkness.  Actually it is a lot of fun  it reminds me of today's DD City of Fools.  Not exactly like that game because City of Fools is unique,  but the same kind of quirkiness on a smaller scale. 

I have been having a run of bad luck lately.

1.  The pull thingy off my zipper on my winter coat fell off.  To replace zipper the seamstress is charging me $45.00
2.  A bit of the vacuum cleaner cord got chewed up by the vacuum right down to the bare wires.  To replace the cord on the vacuum cost $45.00
3.  I broke 2 bread & butter plates in my set of dishes.  No store carried them so I had to get them from ebay cost $10.00.
4.  I spilled a gob of honey everywhere or it seems like everywhere, because I keep finding spots that are sticky.  cost - just my time & energy.
5.  While loading the dishwasher a plate just slipped out of my hands and broke inside the dishwasher.  I cleaned all the pieces I could see and now I am afraid to use the dishwasher in case there is more broken plate in there that I couldn't find.  Plus I need to buy a new plate cost $5.00.

For the many gamers frustrated by the glitch in  Haunted Halls  SE,  there is finally an update after almost 2 weeks,  and it actually works!  I've been checking every day,  & it's been offered for sale all this time despite the many complaints.  (Tech thread was 13 pages)  Now today,  when it's been fixed,  it's been removed.
   Phooey!  I forgot to buy a game on Monday.  It probably would have been  Fall of the New Age.  Oh well,  next Monday will do.  I still got a free game coupon for buying  "Mind...something"  on sale.
Almost done with  Adelantado 3.  What a marvelous series.  And still obsessed with  King Oddball.
And of course a few others.

Sunshine those sort of weeks are the pits.  It's time for things to turn around for you, and they will.

lilyr... Thanks That's a really good tip to remember for next time, if it happens again. 

Oscar...I hope it turns around sooner rather than later   LoL  It's starting to get expensive replacing & repairing stuff. 

Oscar...I am playing Alex Hunter: Lord of the Mind.  I really liked it alot.  I am on the bonus chapter right now as Gamehouse has the premium edition.  The main game has a proper ending.

   

 

 

I finished Grimville: The Gift of Darkness.  I played on casual mode and it was nice to just play a game without getting stuck or looking at a walkthrough.  Throughout the game they give you choices to make. I guess you would call them moral decisions.  I feel pretty good about my choices except for 1 of them.  They show what happens after you choose and with 1 choice I did, I felt pretty bad.  I don't know if it changes the outcome of the game or not. Some of the puzzles I skipped.  They were the kind where you had to align everything up correctly.  I tried, but I had no patience with them.  Maybe next time.  Also, be prepared to wear out your walking shoes in this one. 

Now off to finish 1 of my two open games I have got going.
