I did that when I was in my early 20's. I wanted a pair of electrostatic speakers for my sound system, but they cost a lot compared to what I was earning at the time. I cut out virtually every non-essential expense for around 5 months and was able to get the speakers.

Bucket list to accomplish before forever leaving university: 1. put a giant rubber chicken on the roof of the engineering building. 2. dismantle a VW Beetle and reassemble it inside the dean's office. 3. streak nude across the playing field of a football/rugby/field hockey game while it's in progres...

Agreed. The entire CF (Cystic Fibrosis??? mwahaaahaaaa ) team has done incredible work and are to be thoroughly congratulated.

ps. I submitted my response quite a while ago.

Thanks. I found it. I've only done 4 of them. They were too easy. I'm sure that will change

Hmmm, I bought the GoG version, but I don't seem to have any bonus game.

Just checked. It seems Untold is on Steam rather than GoG.

I just finished JULIA. I have one caution for anyone wanting to play. There are some very difficult puzzles (and some not so difficult ones too). Some could take a long time to solve (as in days). I decided to cheat and use a walkthrough for a few of the really laborious ones. I didn't use it to com...

Well, we started playing J.U.L.I.A. last night. I have to say, it is not quite what I was expecting. Without spoiling anything, I can tell you that it's more or less a 2D click-and-point adventure game. There is a lot of text to read, and you interact with a computer avatar and a robot. It's a littl...

There are only 9 days to go and they need $14,000 to reach the $48,000 goal. If you like beautiful artwork in games, this might b...

Currently downloading J.U.L.I.A. from GoG

Oooh, that doesn't sound good. I'm not a fan of quick time event games. I thought this was an adventure game. Doesn't sound like it is.

Thanks for the heads-up. I think I will pass on this one.

Really? That's interesting. It's not often you here of a game that is so difficult. I wonder why the developers would do that. I would expect it will affect sales negatively.

This one looks interesting.

You haven't said whether you tried the dgvoodoo patch or not....

Thanks plumgas. I have an industrial strength UTM, so it sometimes catches things that are OK. It follows the better-safe-than-sorry principle.

I temporarily allowed that site through and got a few versions of the file.

Thanks for the tip Plumgas. My UTM keeps blocking me from downloading any of the dgvoodoo files, saying they contain viruses. Have you had any issues?
