meg...It still gets my goat the way Dark Tales: EAP's The Fall of the House of Usher ended.  If I looked away for a second and turned back.  I would have missed it completely and wonder why the credits were rolling.
Like you said they don't do endings like that all the time in the SEs so it is a gamble when you play them.  I passed on the CE because of too many gimmicks.  Like taking those photos with a camera.  I didn't want to mess around with that.  I liked it in the SE that the photos were already done up for you.  After awhile I barely noticed the rat, sometimes when he fell off his perch it would catch my eye, but otherwise he was just part of the scenery.

Thanks for mentioning True Detectives.  I don't have HBO so wonder if netflix has it.

I agree that the TBBT has lost a little of it's shine.  It still is a good show though and I like to watch the new ones.  My favorite character is Howard.

Lilyr...Congratulations on finishing a tough game.  I checked to see if I had Magician's Handbook II and glad to see that I don't.  I bought all kinds of stuff when the were daily deals that I wished I didn't. 
What is it about 1 man operations or small teams that makes one feel like that they want to support the little guy.  I think that it is admirable and do it myself, but maybe the dev for magician's handbook would have benefited if he had someone played his game before release and told him that the objects were too little to see.

Bad news for anyone waiting to see if BFG's going to get the CE version of Witch's Pranks: Frog's Fortune - they aren't.  This is the word from BFG:

Hi All,

We recently heard back from the developer and they have confirmed that the version of the game released on our site is the standard version, which only contains 2 frogs. There is apparently a Collector's Edition of the game with additional bonus content, but unfortunately, that is not the version that was contractually released onto our site.

I apologize for the inconvenience and if you have any additional concerns, you are welcome to contact our Customer Support Team using the link below:

Sorry guys. 

Good news is - GameHouse still has the PE on sale until Sunday. 

Bad news is - it's now only 40% off, so $12 - Code: TASTY - which I don't think it's worth. 

Good news is - You're not missing much (imho). 
 

I got Jane Angel 2: Fallen Heaven and wanted to play the first one before I played it.  I've tried but I'm afraid I just don't want to continue.  It's just HOSs and some simple - but fun - jigsaws and puzzles.  If I had nothing else to play I'd continue, as it has some really, really interesting historical facts about the Knights Templar and other history but, with so many other games to play and with so little time, I really don't want to waste any more time on Jane Angel 1.  So I'm just going to go straight to the sequel.  Fortunately, I think I've played enough to get the gist of the story and have some idea of Jane Angel, so hopefully that will be all I need to know. 
 

Tirama -- I'm so sorry about your credit card.  I AM very glad that you won't be liable for any of the charges.   I just saw something on our local news.  Apparently 3 truckers came into a rest stop with 3 credit card numbers written on a piece of paper.  The clerk used those numbers for the truckers' purchases and then used the numbers for herself.  She is in jail now.  Unfortunately it doesn't take much for credit card numbers to be stolen -- even very low tech methods.  And then they can get sold all over the place.  Why oh why doesn't the USA use the chip in credit cards like most of Europe (and I think Asia) does! 

sunshinej -- The 1st game was the same -- tiny objects.  He was informed but maybe it was just too much work for one person to revise all the scenes.

stusue -- The SE of WITCH'S PRANK it is then.  I'll use a PCC.  JANE ANGEL soundedlike my kind of game so I looked it up in my list.  I have # 1 and even played it but don't remember a thing!  I'll probably get # 2.

lilyr - according to the bank rep I spoke with, an actual card was swiped for these fraudulent transactions.  Since I have the two genuine (but now useless) cards on my desk?????

Tirama, from what I've seen on TV the crims have a small machine that they run blank credit cards through once they know someone's number, which they can steal in lots of ways.  I know one important thing is never to let your credit card out of your sight if you're paying for something with your card, like in a restaurant, as they use a little machine that they scan your card through to get all your details.  Sorry your credit card number was stolen. 

I've PMed you with the PCC number.  Thanks!  I hope you get a great game with it! 

Good luck finishing Riddles of the Mask!    I wanted to finish The Legend of Egypt: Jewels of the Gods today but it's one long game!
