Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time @Grryf the cog e-mail notifications are very wonky, sinse sometimes they will tell you about hosted games, but not always, Samurai of Hyuga is a hosted title but there was an e-mail just mentioning that game and not others, yet for some odd reason the possessed game and vs the lost ones weren't notified in e-mail. Oh well, now the cog/hg website has stopped being stupid there won't be an issue sinse I can always check there, heck I did so previously on Ios it's just that net browsing on the Iphone is not entirely my favourite method.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time ahoy allDark, vs the lost ones is a cog title not a hosted game title. Besides that there have been a few more releases mainly in the hosted games catogryOne is So you are possessed, funnily enough I have played the thing but can't remember why I didn't post about the game on here? oh well,shrugsIts quite good, just like samurai, and just like it its a part of a trilogy, oh wait I don't really know about a trilogy as such but at least a sequel is in the worksThere's also double cross but that, I haven't tried so couldn't say as to how good/ bad that is.Sebby, running away doesn't matter at least not from the government. If you play and kill the guy, you'll see what I mean :da slight hint for you in the spoiler if you want to take a peekPlay to your strength when fighting him, and sometimes its better to convince him not to fight. There are place s where convincing won't just do,though. you'll figure it out when you get at that point.As for checking their games, I always just go and have a peek in the forums a topic lists all the upcoming releases and if I am too lazy to do that, I just visit their website,look quickly in both the sections and that's thatCOG do have a e-mail service where they send you e-mails when ever a new release comes out but for whatever wierd reason they don't announce games released under hosted games if that game is the only one being released at that point of time. I find that strange,but eh.grryf URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=231598#p231598 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time @Dark you're not, but you're definitely in the minority at this point. Not suggesting that's bad or wrong, of course, but it's true, all the same. Most holdouts have moved, per force, to Win7 at minimum; the others went to Linux or investigated Mac, much as you are.I don't visit the CoG website much; everything I need from there is in the iOS App Store, which is how I check for new apps (oh how I wish they'd send email notifications or even download new purchases from them!) or GitHub, where they published their interpreter and documentation. The BrailleNote is, I fear, too far obsolete to be of any use as a web-surfing device, but I still valiantly attempt it every so often, nonetheless.@Grryf: ooh! You ran away, but you also got Barmy Barny or whatever his name is? I need to play again--didn't really feel like running away, but if it's a winning move ... Think I'll spy on people more this time.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time @Sebby apparently I'm not the only person very dissatisfied with modern windows, hopefully microsoft will take the hint and just make a new xp instead of all their other crap. Anyway that's not a debate it's worth having. I do still plan on the mac for net access albeit my xp box will still be my main media and games machine, however to be honest everything is a bit woosily at the moment in terms of my life, for the reason why check the Monthly chat topic. Getting back on topic, someone on the audeasy list recently tried games with a braillenote and the cog website didn't work. In fairness I can't say much more sinse I have no experience of the device. One thing which I do like about the fact I can now check the cog site is that it'll make tracking new games and new blog posts much easier, I noticed there were a few new releases I'd missed, like soemthing called vs the lost ones from the hosted games. No worries, I just picked the things up and will play them in time, however it's nice to not be dependent upon the e-mails or ap store. I actually want to try matter of time, sinse with me being a whovian I of course rather like time travel stories.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time Ahoy allI bought the game yesterday and just finished it.Wonderful! is the word I'd use although I don't believe that word does justice to the game, but aye, its excellently done,well written and from what I've seen quite replayable tooin My first playthrough itself I did pretty good, killed the guy who had it against me, found out what happened to my father and while I wasn't great in my career, I was good enough.Ended up running away from the government,though so something or the other had to lead me to lead a life of a Fugitive,eh? guess we can't have it allWorth paying for,so it isAs to your question, mata. its farely long, not as huge as tinstar,but not on the mid/ short lenghth of the scales,either.If I had to take a guess I'd estimate it was somewhere around the length of slammed, if you have played that one.grryf URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=231534#p231534 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time It works on IE8 on XP? That's surprising, though a good thing where you're concerned. Of course you have iOS, so it doesn't have to matter.I still have a BrailleNote I wouldn't mind seeing play these. Then again, I think that's asking a bit much nowadays; it's just about good enough to browse non-_javascript_ pages and FTP sites, so about the level of compatibility of IE6.Check the refurb store. Your Mac could be a few hundred quid cheaper if you catch a lucky break.At this stage I'd say your odds of being happy on Windows are fairly close to zero, but I'd be lacking in objectivity if I didn't point out that it has, in various versions, by far the biggest share of computer users. Windows 7 is the minimum, the prompted upgrades to the data-slurping Windows 10 (for "Free") the maximum. I would settle for 8.1 with Classic Shell, myself.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time I do know CoG are trying to promote their stuff on steam, but really if that was the only way to play them it'd be a shame given steams lack of access, and after all as Sebby said the website has the advantage of being playable everywhere! I probably would use the website if I didn't have an Iphone, indeed I do recall playing choice of the dragon on there, however I like the portability with gamebooks and the save status, they're great for trains etc. Btw, their website now works with internet explorer on xp again which is nice! the games do work, or at least the demos do. I'm guessing lots of people aren't bothering with silly modern Windows, and I do like being able to look at their site on another device than my Iphone.I will probably still get the mac at some point for modern browser access without the idiocy of microsoft despite this, though my current plans life wise are a bit busy, actually I might just wait until christmas or t hat silly black friday thing and get discounts.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time I realise times have changed, but I'd actually be tempted to buy from the CoG website if the game stored your state and allowed you to play connected with the server doing the processing, so you could play from devices with limited or no _javascript_ support. I know, running applications in the browser is just the in thing to do, but it seems counterintuitive to me that one requires access to a web page if one is not then going to stay connected. In fact the game data is loaded and interpreted, so you can disconnect and then continue playing, but you need _javascript_ and a modern browser to do it. Might as well just buy the packaged app if that's going to be what you get anyway. Still, kudos to CoG for making use of _javascript_ in a way that doesn't make me want to puke.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time Same here @Tiffany; died at the end, rather than on the mission. Is there actually a way to beat the boss? Kinda reluctant to pursue alternative endings that are, shall we say, more self-motivated. I like to think that my choices were "Responsible" and that I never did the dishonest thing. I'd never violate anybody's privacy with this power, for instance, not even the sweetheart. Having said this, have fun in the casino. Lots and lots of fun. The bastards deserve it. Though as usual, my char warped as the game proceeded, chiefly I think due to a lack of appropriate choices in places. The game seems to correctly assign motives most times, but yeah, fundamental issue with CYOA.It was a great game, better even than ZE in the writing department IMO.

New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time This just turned up today, and of course me being a whovian this one definitely sounds interesting, albeit my brain isn't really on games at the moment.We’re proud to announce that A Wise Use of Time, the latest in our popular “Choice of Games” line of multiple-choice interactive-fiction games, is now available for Steam, iOS, and Android. It’s 25% off until September 11th.With the power to freeze time, you can ransack a casino, rescue a celebrity, or cheat death itself!“A Wise Use of Time” is a thrilling 260,000-word interactive sci-fi novel by Jim Dattilo, author of “Zombie Exodus,” winner of the 2011 XYZZY “Special Recognition” award for interactive fiction. Your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based–without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.When you freeze time, no one can see you, hear you, or stop you, except, perhaps, a handful of mysterious time controllers like yourself. Every second you steal puts more stress on your body and mind.Will you bring justice to the mobsters who run rampant in your city? Will you steal from them to provide for those in need? Will you share your power with friends and family? Will you destroy your own powers, or will your powers destroy you first?Play as male or female; gay, straight, or bisexual. Develop relationships with one of four main romantic options (or a secret one). Track your relationships and moral stats as they change. Level up your time-control powers, or nullify them to protect yourself and others.
