Wendy, was wondering where you had been since no posts for a while.  Glad the moving went ok and back to playing games soon.

I've been moving since last week so I've only popped into my FTPs once every day or two to use up my energy.  Wow, moving is hard work!  We tried to save money by using the car and pickup but I think we ended up spending more in gas, and a lot more in time.  It's a UHaul next time for sure.  And it was raining for 3 days before we started so we couldn't get any outside work done or put boxes or bags outside.  Supposedly we will sell our old RV today, then I can get on with my life.  It's been a nightmare for the last week.  Place we were supposed to get fell through last minute and we ended up in a totally different part of town.
   Because of all the worries and stress I forgot to cancel my membership so I sure hope they have a real BOGO sometime this month.  I don't even really know what's out, maybe by this weekend I can start getting caught up.  I'm missing Fate's Carnival.

Wendy, I'm sorry you've had such an awful time moving.    Have you managed to sell your RV so can get on with your life now?    I also hope there's a BOGOF this month!

I started Web of Deceit Deadly Sands.  So far it's pretty good.  I don't like the constant "if I had eight legs" comment if you click on something.  I also don't like how they have done the achievements.  It says you don't have it, but doesn't tell you what you need to do to get it.

Oscar, I, too, couldn't stand the "if I had eight legs" comment and so didn't even get the SE.  I'd really like to know what you think of the game once you've finished it, if you don't mind, and let me know what it would be like as an SE.    And to think that that comment was changed from the original comment due to so many complaints, which I think was, "There's something I could use here" or something like that. 

Yesterday, I played a lot of Jigsaws Galore because I was listening to BBC 4, getting caught up for the week listening to BBC 4, getting caught up for the week (Miss Marple, Dick Francisi's Proof, and I still want to check out The Lady In White).  And of course, I was busy with my free to play games.

On your list is say Abandoned Chestnut Lodge, is that right? It is such an old game. I have been thinking about the fun pass, but I'm not sure. I have a lot of unplayed games. I guess my problem is there is so,many new shiny ones! I did dl Space Mahjong to demo. I liked the different boards, very good idea. But they graphics weren't that sharp on my computer.

Yes, Oscar, Abandoned - Chestnut Lodge Asylum is listed.  After I read your post I checked on GameHouse and the game is no longer listed in their HOGs, either the SE or PE.  But I distinctly remember that I tried to play the PE version but kept on having the same problem and couldn't play it after a certain point, although I can't remember what the problem was.  The techies tried to help me but couldn't identify the problem, let alone fix it, so I was given a PE coupon code for my troubles, even though I hadn't actually bought the game!    So all I can imagine is that there was a glitch and that it was removed from their site and returned to the developers to be fixed and that now it's being reoffered.  However, only the SE is offered, so maybe they couldn't fix the bug in the PE version.  Bummer.    I'd already got the SE on BFG but wanted to play the PE on GameHouse to get the bonus chapter, as the SE on BFG had all the other CE stuff, like morphs, achievements, SG, etc.

I know with a FunPass that you play games on GameHouse rather than your unplayed games - although I play both, when my family's not here - but you're playing the new games without having to buy them, so you don't keep on adding to your unplayed list, but add games to your played list!    GH's punch card system is also much better, they have discounted games every week, they have sitewide discounts seemingly every day ... this weekend it's 30% off all games, including the discounted games ... and I think they still have live chat.  And you get a GCC that you have to use before your next monthly GCC.  If you're thinking of it, pity you didn't take up their 25% discount just a week or so ago.    I still have my BFG membership because GH doesn't get many of the CEs, but I really love my FunPass, not only because of all the things I've listed, as well as others I haven't, but because I can play games that are fun but that I wouldn't want to purchse. 

As far as I can remember, the graphics on Space Mahjong were fine on my computer.    Or at least I didn't notice that they weren't clear.  Of the 7 different types of games, I especially loved 2 - the one where you have to match like pairs - eg. chicken and egg, although sometimes much harder - and another one that I can't remember now.  But they're all different and fun.
