Woohoo!

Now I need to reinstall Uru... Allthough all the new fancy clothing and gadgets seem pretty redundant now... :frown:

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Awesome, and I haven't even gotten that deep into the game (still need to finish BS3, The Watchmaker, and Indy Jones: Emperor's Tomb) :D .

Well, I finally started downloading the mutha. It'll take about 20 minutes, so I'll listen to the latest topic discussed from my favourite talk show (http://www.wbez.org/programs/odyssey/odyssey_v2.asp). And then aftewards I'll get to wander around in Uru Land a bit! :D Cake!

[Bard09]

I'm really just enjoying the chance to wander about Uru again. The "marker detection" thing is kind of hokey, but all in all I think "To D'Ni" is a worthwhile expansion. Plus, it's FREE! :D

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Hey Bard, what's your avatar look like? Is he bald and funny looking like mine? :D

( :( Stupid devs didn't have any facial options to me look truly Asian! What, they racist or something? I look South American or Indian - anything but Asian! Waaaaaaahh!)

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Well, we can at least ascertain that Mr. WIlliam RObret does not look like me, but does look like my avatar.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

:( Well, I do get to be picky! I mean, for cripe's sakes, the Land's End online virtual model system can let me customize so that it looks more like me:

....Uru can't even do that? Pffft. (BTW, Uru has cooler clothes, tho. 8-) )

I ditched my purple Cosmic Osmo t-shirt when I found this sucker. You know... the Indiana Jones/couch potato look.

Just finished the expansion tonight. It's good enough for being free. I'm impressed with the scope of the once-multiplayer world. You can really tell that the whole thing was designed for many people. It's also hard to see some of the things visibly "destroyed" that were once active in the Prologue (the Heek table, for example).

But still.... (((Myst)))

I saw Uru on sale in a very big store today. Its price: 57€. Now is it me, or is that incredibly, stupidly and annoyingly expensive? :eek:
Oh well, it was a gift anyway... and I'm still looking forward to playing the expansion pack. :)

Oh man! That is some funny stuff! I'm a bit more muscular in the chest, shoulders, and traps, but it isn't actually all that far off. :D

Bastich, in his undies:

You look like a LOT of fun there!

That red jacket is NOT you at all. Then again, it doesn't look it's anyone at all.

Here in the Netherlands the normal (not "on sale") price for the game is 50 €...

[Bard09]

Here in the Netherlands the normal (not "on sale") price for the game is 50 €...
:eek: On GoGamer.com it's $27.90 US... about $23 Euro. Don't know if they do international shipping, though.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Yeah, that's where I got my copy from, and at that same price. http://mysmilies.ipbfree.com/s/otn/love/luxlove.gif Love GoGamer.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

:( Uru doesn't outfit us with umbrellas and galoshes. And no high heels. Garyos must be furious.

[Ninth]

$23 Euro.

Euro dollars? :P Anyway, that's a good price for a game, IMO, and 57€ isn't. Even 45€ is a bit too much for my taste, for the Westerner and Shizm 2.
I think games should be 30€ at most; they can't expect people not to pirate if they have to pay that much for a game. I don't usually download new AGs, I buy them, but this time it's harder to resist the urge of downloading Shizm 2, given that I've paid 45€ for the Westerner and felt cheated of my money. :(
Oh well, it's not as if I didn't have other games to play while I'm waiting for Shizm 2's price to drop, but still... :sad:
