Well let's face it, it's the developers that are controlling the pricing here, not the distributors, meaning GH. So GH is just a middle-man in this and not the one who's raking in the money. So if there's a site out there that has lower prices in games with no hike for "platinum" or "collectors" editions, clue me in! And I agree, granny, on the overwhelming amount of "sinister" HOGs out there. What happened to the "fun" ones? I'll stick to playing games like the Emily series, which GH DOES produce, btw. One heck of a great accomplishment! (And you won't see this game over at BF.)

Now there ya go, Janelle... sometimes I think I'm nuts for "staying STUCK" when there is that help out there. But I, like many others, refuse to use the hints or codes and the like. So THAT'S why I'm STILL trying to get through the very first Jewel Quest! lol. Seems subsequent ones were easier. And yep, pepper, Luxor is another one I can only get to a certain point on, but I do keep playing it "just in case." What is WRONG with us???!!!!

She IS Lagoona... I agree! G, you are multi-talented for sure. Don't know how you do it, gal, and I know you enjoy it yourself also. We're surely lucky to have you here! So I'll be peekin' in now and then to see what you're up to! And don't forget the naughty stuff of the naughty and nice... lol!

Sure do, yusef... but guess what, I still play it! I LOVE all the Emily games... can't say that I have a favorite, but they DO keep getting better and better! and here we are on Number 8! Amazing how popular this series is... I think because the people are so... personable. And lovable. And real. I LOVE THEM ALL!!!

I have the Kindle with the keypad also... have had it for about six months. I was looking for the "least expensive" reader that also had quality I could count on... like Poppa, I liked all the features that the Kindle offered as well as all the free books that are available through Amazon for the Kindle. I wish I could've held them each in my hands to compare, but had to rely on customer reviews, etc. I wish it was black-lit for reading with low light, but just got a book light I'm enjoying... the Kandle. I think I still prefer the feeling of a book in my hands, but find that I read more when I can just grab the Kindle, and that was my goal!

G-bee... dropped in here all lonely and your story had me mesmerized to the bone. You've outdone yourself again, gal... may your wonders never cease! I know how much time that must've taken you and appreciate it from the bottom of my cow-cow heart... that is a spook-house to beat 'em all! Ahhh. Now I'm afraid to go into me own basement, as there's been some unidentifiable sounds down there lately... hope it's just the cats havin a tea-party again. My, they can make a huge mess. I wonder how many are down there now. And speaking of old times, what are they but memories of new times! They are always in the making. So good to see my story-tellin friend in fine form again.

On Sun Nov 20 20:49:20 PST 2011, mooma said:

Lol, yusef... I just noticed that, and my-my doesn't Emily look different there! She got beautiful! She looks kinda like Cinderella with Thumper there. Although the game will tell if it's still our good ol' Emily.
Found two pix on their website way back about possibilities for Emily and her cat, but looks like they went in a different direction.


And as for the coloring, hey! Who's too old to color? Though I might have to put my granny glasses on to see the lines. Hoot! So get those good ol' Crayolas out and get crackin! Can't believe it's "almost here!"
(I'll be sure and check out your video... I need a laugh.)

to all the gals and guys a-hangin' out here! Great thread, ya'll... have been buried in transcripts lately so no time to play, but hopefully I'll get some slack soon. Special "HI"s to G, and Lagoona, yusef, ydoi, elven... not sure who all is here, and those I haven't met. Carry on with the great thread!
MmmmwwwwwwAAAAA!!

On Sun Nov 20 19:43:54 PST 2011, mooma said:

Hi, yusef! I've been buried in transcripts here (all deadline work) so haven't been able to peek in... just happened to today. Hope you're doing well! I guess I should give a shout at the VGP.

Ah, the Mortimer games... you make me wanna dig one out of my game folders a-plenty. Jsimp's question made me think it was an older game (stick figure?) But Mortimer is a great deduction.

On Sun Nov 20 12:32:21 PST 2011, mooma said:

Jsimp... I love to find games for people,but that doesn't ring any bell. Have you tried doing a search on the Net for it? I hope Bill lets me put a link to Wikapedia here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_puzzle_video_games#Obstacle_course_navigation

That has a long list of PC games in that genre, including one for maze games... maybe a title would ring a bell for you.

Lagoona! I have been swamped w/ work so haven't checked in much, but want to wish you a Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I didn't catch you on your special day, but I think there is something special in EVERY day for you!

Just posting to defend Bill... he explained once how if a post gets so many "inappropriate" hits by readers it's automatically deleted. Remember having a heyday with that once, Russ? when forum members had a ball deleting a certain poster's posts? So I think you're right about that, and Mr. Bill hasn't even seen it yet.

And wail on, you guys... the problem is you're always calling out each other as a group -- "YOU libs." "YOU Conservatives." Maybe if you talked to each other one on one, it wouldn't be so argumentative. But face it, it can go on forever with no meeting of the minds in the deep, dark canyon of politics. I choose not to stress myself (as with religion), but unsheathe your flimsy weapons! I think you both love it, and we love you both.

IS it an adult conversation, Russ? I don't think so. I've never read so many cliche R and D quotes and I've had my fill. THINK, people... it's not too late to have an opinion of your own, and not some other * of the past.

On Wed Aug 10 11:27:16 PDT 2011, mooma said:

So HAPPY to see you post here! And yes, this is where the "old friends" from the RA forum migrated, but there are a few of us left that post. But as you can see, we have lots of WONDERFUL newcomers, and those that have always posted here at GH. And there's lots of lurkers, so perhaps more "oldies" will come on when they see you are here, tho some have moved to other forums. I've been a bit under the weather so not posting much, but you have BRIGHTENED my day!!! (Hey, ya'll... I will be checking other posts here shortly.) I join in the big to have PEACHES back here!!!

On Wed Aug 03 12:37:39 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Hi, lilybeth! Just saw your post, and want to you to the forum! I agree... I do enjoy the games you mentioned, something to get "involved" in, instead of pointing and clicking. And hurrah for another Delicious fan! Several of us here have that as a favorite also.

On Tue Aug 02 12:49:13 PDT 2011, mooma said:

LOL! Cheers to you, ydoi... I play enough IHOGs and FROGs just trying to clean my house. I get on the computer to get away from the mess!

Never heard of RooGoo so looked it up... will have to give it a try.

On Fri Jul 29 09:49:14 PDT 2011, mooma said:

And there you have it, folks... requests for less of and more of the same genres! Just last week someone requested MORE hogs, as well as bamlink today. I think our problem is that there's so much out there now (compared to say 5 or 10 years ago) that we're all quite spoiled! I know I am... sometimes I'll sit and stare at a whole desktop full of game icons and can't pick one to play. Oh the good ol' days, when each new game release brought true excitement. But I can well see how you'd have passes piling up these days, and I think GH is doing their darned best under the circumstances. But it would be a help if more would use the Titles list, as Lagoona suggested. TM has always been a favorite of mine, but the only one I'm really waiting for is the new Emily. (yea, yusef!)

Hi, elliebumble! Noting to fear here, just friendly folk. So say what you wanna say and to heck with those that disagree! (just kidding... all posts are welcome and encouraged here).

On Wed Jul 27 00:15:55 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Yes, so that's one of the "free with ads" games. Thanks for the input, yusef! So I'm guessing that the Newer 60-min trials are without ads. So really, nothing much has changed, except people are noticing the free games w/ ads more, because there's more of them. And good for those who don't wanna pay for games! So in all honesty, I would say that nothing much has changed ad-wise, exept for the free games, which is a plus in many people's views. I have a few of those meself! If I really loved the game so much I'd purchase it to get rid of the ads, but hey, there's so many games out there now I take what I can get for free. Tho sure, I still purchase those I want unhindered. Is it really that different elsewhere? (or perhaps they don't offer "free with ads" games...), but thanks for bringing this up, hermette!

Hi Elven and All... and I know that feeling of "gone missing"... sometimes I do that myself and don't post for a bit, but then I find a piece of my sanity (usually under the fridge or in a group of dust bunnies under the bed), so I pull myself together and drop in! So nice to read of gardens going well, etc... ours is bursting right now... we picked over 100 cherry tomatoes yesterday and had to give some to our neighbor (she ate them before she got them to her kitchen) and some nice mid-size red tomatoes, a lot of different kinds of peppers (6, I think, including jalapenos and banana and green), and a couple of pickling cukes (those aren't doing well) and several long "burpless" cukes... one measuring about 16 inches! Now I have to be off to buy a cabbage (no, didn't plant those) because I have a yearning to make stuffed cabbage today, or Galumpkies as my Polish grandma called them, and us kids called them "pigs in the blanket." I simply MUST make them today! YUM!!! So nice to see sweet Room checking in and all the rest of you... and good job on the boots, Lagoona! Thank gosh you found those things, and spruced them up as well. Another mystery solved! Ah, we have to get another case going here, gals... so that Detective Moo and the How Now Brown Cow Detective Agency can get some work done!
(That is my boss, Agent Full-of-Bull in the front.)
Hugs to you all.
And here's a dragon hoping Elven doesn't have to work so hard!

On Tue Jul 26 13:39:09 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Yes, GH does have a long list of games now that are basically "free" with the ads, and yes you have to purchase the game to get rid of them. But in one sense this is a real plus because there are so many "free" games out there, albeit with ads. Some get used to the ads (you can click them off just about as soon as they start) and are happy to have an entire game without having to pay for it. Kind of like the "free" featured game of the day... it has ads, but it's free. There's actually a long list of those, and that's what you're running into. But as for brand new or newer games, are there ads on those? And I mean IN the game and not just at the beginning... I haven't downloaded a demo lately because of my humongous backlog of unplayed games.

Hi lagoona... friendship is precious indeed, and its memories are many. I'm sure the two of you have a hoot together!

Quotes:

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

"Friends are the Bacon Bits in the Salad Bowl of Life."

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."

"Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare; False friends are like leaves, found everywhere."

"Every man should have a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends."

"We cannot tell the precise moment when a friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last one drop that makes it run over. So in a series of kindness there is at last one drop that makes the heart run over."

Lol, lagoona... good try (trying to find the kind side of Russ). Me? I think he's scratching his head because he's got dandruff.

Lagoona, you have SUCH a beautiful way with words. It's a pleasure to read your posts, and such a pleasure to have you here on the forum. You have a truly beautiful soul.

And room, my friend... I don't have to tell you how GOOD it is to see you posting again! You have been well missed, cowgal o'mine!

And Nicole, you will continue to be a prayer in our hearts.

On Mon Jul 18 23:51:01 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Lol, lagoona... thanks for coming to my rescue, but the last time I took Russ seriously, was... well, the LAST time. HA! His bark is worse than his bite, but yeah, he can get quite nasty at times. But hey, we've gotta give him a place to post... cuz he's banned everywhere else! On forums, that is... how's facebook going, Russ? Get any people upset there yet?

And lagoona, I like your quotes!

Thank you, room! And dear Perry, please know that our hearts truly go out to you in your time of grief. Please know that any happiness or smiles she felt from this forum always came back to us threefold from her own presence here. She will be sadly missed as a truly precious friend. Hugs and prayers to you.

On Thu Jul 14 22:19:25 PDT 2011, mooma said:

That is for sure, yusef... sometimes it seems they're grasping at straws (or seaweed) for the offering! And they're often games that we've had here at GH for a long time. So good point!

On Thu Jul 14 07:20:58 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Shocking news. Thanks for letting us know, room... here where she had her "first laugh in years." Rest in peace, Kathy, in the arms of the angels and your Candy Love.

On Wed Jul 13 23:35:12 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Plus the fact that they release a game a day makes it seem like more, and yeah, we do wait longer... and some like meself wish for "less" hogs! (believe it or not...) I tend to totally bypass those that don't have a story with other puzzles in them now.

Wow, wolvie... can't believe this is your first flat panel after all of your computer changes/enhancements over the years. You'll love it, that's for sure!

On Wed Jul 13 23:27:44 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Good for you, smarie... and I know what you mean about missing sleep over a game! I think I'll make this my next mission, thanks to you.

And I'll bet he has to count them! Now THERE'S a story to tell us, Poppa!
Another fine mess Russ has gotten you into.

Hi Lagoona,,, you created those masks yourself? As in "in the flesh"? Lol, tho they aren't flesh, they're plaster or whatever... how did you photograph them so nicely, or are those effects? Very beautiful... would like to see more. And you're right re: the animated pix... they have to be animated from the get-go to post here as such, tho there are programs out there to make animations. Haven't been interested enough to look into them, but that would be fun.

And hello, llstjohn... nice to see you post once in awhile. And no, we're not "still looking" for poppa... everyone has their choice whether to post here or not, this thread just keeps coming to the top. It's just nice to see folks from the past, especially since this forum isn't as active as others. As for keeping track of how many posts are posted and the like, the same goes for that. Whatever pushes people's buttons or honks people's horns. (there's a small animation for you, lagoona)

On Fri Jul 01 23:48:37 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Aw, G... you're the BEST!!! Thanks so much... I'll be sure and give her your good wishes! She is so excited that we're coming... Portland just might pop off the map from happiness!

Beautiful, G!!!! Thank you so much, lil darlin... and all the best and a happy holiday to you and your family. Celebrate and stay safe... I'll be leaving tomorrow to VISIT MY DAUGHTER IN PORTLAND, OR!!!!!! I am so excited I can't contain myself. Her birthday is on the 6th, but we will have fireworks in our hearts all week. Sparklers for everyone!

A BEAUTIFUL replay, lagoona... and so iinteresting to read where you are from! I agree with you totally... if only the original "idea" of government had not gotten so far away from it's own truth and exists mostly for power alone. And if someone does step up and try to make those values and truths exist once again, they get torn down by the power hungry and liars, who cannot see past the end of their own nose, nor will they look further. How I wish for true peace on earth, but we get further and further away, it seems. Peace begins within each one of us, and no where else can it start.

Ahhhh. Good to the last drop. Can't... quite... reach... it! (thanks, Elven!)

On Wed Jun 29 18:31:40 PDT 2011, mooma said:

Yep, it certainly is your opinion, Russ... bless ya for it, and Poppa for his. I must admit you two are on other ends of the rope, the mud looming nearer, hence the slinging. I must be a Libervative or a Conserveral, lol. I'm not cut and dried... love to keep an open mind and have different opinions for different circumstances. But sure, I lean mainly to one side... just don't wanna pin the pin on. Causes a lot of glares and rashes and makes me feel pricked. The thing I believe most in is freedom... but earned and appreciated freedom. Too many people have it handed to 'em nowadays and toss it aside. Thanks for the visit, Pops! Hope your seas are smooth for sailing.

Mgggggulf!! LOL, Russ... no harm intended, dixxie... it does sound sorta funny when people ask game-specific questions to those who are unfamiliar. You might try Gamezebo, dixxie, if no one has posted on the game forum boards here.

Hey there, Elven... Happy Belated Birthday to you! Hey-hoo, Ms. G! Thanks for remembering Elven here... you must still have that old b-day list, now dontcha. I have no clue where I put it, so I'll be fergettin' yours also, missy! Just know that I don't mean to. I'll look again for it, elven... or maybe ms. roomy may still have it! Hay thar, room! I saw you done did posted a day or so ago... hope you stick around, cowgal!

The snowy ones are beautiful, I agree. But right now I could use Emily in the Tropics or the like, to go along with the hot, steamy weather we've been having. I loved the beachy scene one in the Tea Garden episode... not quite enough of that so far. But then, has there been an episode I haven't liked? NOOooooo. So I'll just trust that they're coming up with somethin' good.
