So is PoP: Forgotten Sands any good? I loved Sands of Time, but Two Thrones was very dull.

Warrior Within or w/e is decent

Cel Shaded POP (pop 2008) is also decent but easy

forgotten sands I heard was bad but it's the only one I'm missing so I bought it anyways

EA support, take two:


Oh boy! Wonder if I'll get escalated again.

But But I thought EA support was so great? Wasn't that what some here were trying to say? I feel for you. You'll end up getting nowhere all said and done.

I think someone said ORIGIN support is really good when you buy games from them. He got helped by linking a game to the wrong account, I don't know if this is the same support group or not.

Is anyone else unable to make any purchases on the store? I'm with 2 other friends and we've all been unable to make a purchase at all. Trying to get Terraria in the last few mins that we can!

Sadly every company does similar to that and it's annoying as hell. Their support is so far scripted and in such a routine that you give them all the information from the beginning and ask you to type it again for the fifteenth time. Do they not a scrollable message box like our end or do they just not actually read what you write. One of the most annoying things with tech support.

Kally is requesting to view the desktop on this computer. If accepted, the agent will be able to view, but not control, this computer.
Kally: Please accept my screen sharing request.
Initializing and connecting screen-sharing session...
<me>: Apparently I need to update my Java plug-in? One second.
<me>: Oh wait, there's a temporary "run this time" option
<me>: I picked that.
Kally: Ok.
Kally: Sure

After this the screen sharing started and she immediately said that she was escalating me and then the screen sharing ended--I have no idea why the screen sharing was started at all. As soon as the escalation occurred the text box disappeared so I couldn't copy/paste the remaining lines.

Anyway, "You are currently number 22 in the queue. You should be connected to an advisor in about 38 minutes. The average amount of time a customer has to wait is 40 minutes"

I wonder if I'll actually get to talk to level 2 support this time.

Sadly it's that they just don't care. They get paid very poorly and are given scripts to read. Most don't even bother to use their brains. Occasionally you'll get someone that actually thinks and will help you. Usually they don't last long.

Gifting it through a US gaffer. I hate the €=$ thing and I'll do anything to shave off bucks in sales. I'm just horrible like that.

Level 2 should unlock an achievement or something honestly.

I have the 2nd and 3rd Seasons of Sam & Max but not the 1st. Is the 1st season needed for story continuity or can I skip it until later and play through 2 and 3 because I am low on money?

I can't stop laughing at everyone spending so much time deliberating and outraging over $2.50 vs $5. How bored are you?

People are infuriated because they missed a cheaper deal that many people got, and they didn't. They are paying twice what some people payed, and since many are saving money, the hate is understandable.

Steam should make one of the tickets be: Failure the Second Time - Purchase a daily deal you were able to previously resist.

And more than a few were complaining they had to think about it before deciding whether to buy. Really? Is gaf-age that poor? 2.49? I wasn't sold on whether I'd actually like/play it, but I didn't need 5 hours to decide. It was 2.49. What the heck.

Ya, I know. It's still frustrating though that you do like Stump and then get asked what your birthday is.
