Checked off Castlevania Chronicles from my list today. Hopefully the loading times don't kill it for me.

Jealous.

I don't know if anyone else has run into this yet or not. But this isn't really a bug, more of an annoyance.

I was downloading some games from GoG, and came over here to add them while they were downloading. Only I couldn't see the add to collection buttons and such at the bottom of the screen because the download bar is down there. And I got to thinking about it, and other messages and pop-ups from windows and stuff appear down there as well.

Maybe having the buttons pop-up in a smaller window, or on top of the window instead of the bottom?

What browser are you in? In Chrome the popup with the buttons appear above the download bar.

Internet Explorer, in Windows 8.

I got Dragon's Dogma last night, then slept for a solid 12 hours after helluva weekend camping at our family reunion. My family likes to party. So I haven't actually played it yet.

I just sent a tweet to Sony's support staff so they can delete the account. I have to add payment info before they let me do anything, and it keeps redirecting me to the Mexican support site. Which wants me to phone EUROPE if I want support. Fuck that!

Wait, they want payment info to delete an account? Why would they need that? Like they had to charge to delete an account or something.

... so someone just created a PSN account with my old username, using my Gmail account.

I got a message confirming the account creation. Thing is, who would do that? And why?

Probably hoping you have a credit card or bank account connected to it.

I went to a family reunion this weekend. My aunt knows I'm a big gamer, and she just walks up to me with a plastic bag full of games and goes, "Here, you can have these." How awesome is that? I asked her why she was getting rid of them, and she tells me that they don't touch them anymore because they play XBox 360 games now. I tried to tell her she could trade them in for XBox 360 games, but apparantly she only wants to buy games brand-new. So score for me!

What I got:

PS1:
-Driver 2
-Fear Effect
-N2O: Nitrous Oxide
-The Next Tetris
-Nightmare Creatures
-Parasite Eve II
-Top Gun: Fire At Will!

PS2:
-Grand Theft Auto III
-Killzone
-Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk
-And a stack of PlayStation Magazine demo discs

Yes I did see the "April Fools" at the end of the article. but considering the very nature of modern American English, the context can be easily distorted any number of ways.

From the article:

*UPDATE*

There seems to be some confusion about this article still.  Just to clarify everything, this was an April Fools joke, notice the LOL and the publish date in the below picture.

I seem to be having to sign into the site a lot more than I did before. The "Remember Me" check-box isn't quite working like it used to.

I've heard nothing but terrible things from everyone I've seen that has one. I feel sorry for the people that actually donated to their Kickstarter.

I finally got around to replacing my physical copies of Neverwinter Nights: Diamond and Neverwinter Nights 2 and the expansions, since they have trouble running on Windows 8. I took advantage of the GoG.com summer sale and got both NWN: Diamond and NWN 2: Complete for $14.98 total!

So it is regional. It's a Brit thing.

What exactly is "brown sauce"? Barbecue sauce?

It must be a regional name for something, because I've never heard it.
