GMG is Green Man Gaming.

It's probably a typo, as GMG tends to sell keys for services like Steam or Origin, so it's similar, but not the same as GOG.

 

That explains it all. So I was wrong then, after all. They changed the title, but I am still unhappy, not GoG mention anywhere, when it does actually have the best interface among those services --at least for my taste. They could add GMG if they wanted to. I managed to clandestinely add GoG to the tags, though. Still not enough. I might create a thread devoted entirely to GoG, I am thinking of it...

Ubisoft are paying tribute to the legendary Heroes of Might and Magic 3 because today it is the 15th anniversary of the game --it was released 28/02/1999.

They wrote some special entries in the Facebook account of the game, and they also feature an interview with the original developers of the game.

They're playing fun with you for trying so hard to get GoG in there. So now it's Goggle

 

Aaaaaaaah.... aaaaaaaaaah, hahahaha, they have been very "malos" then. I am goggle-eyed at that revelation. That makes sense now. Trust me that I didn't get it, nor I would get it once again -I was about to complain- if you didn't tell because I began to genuinely think the mods didn't know the amazingness of GoG.

Poor souls, not knowing about GoG can make their head hurt. And the typos occur.

Anywyas, back on Heroes of Might and Magic 3. This game is so special to me now, I couldn't be more grateful to the person who discovered it to me.

If I could only play one game for the rest of my life, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 would be it.

 

Sorry, Cyan. Just playing with ya.

 

hahah, aaaaaah, that was it. How on Earth could I know? I think that moderating more than one forum, which makes you have to focus on both forums simultaneously though, was starting to make your head hurt. So I thought that trying harder could work.

If you invite to a seafood platter I won't ask for some time --too bad you live overseas, but still....

Please, please.... say yes and add GoG to the title. Make the promise, and like the song goes...:

"Well, say that you'll be true
well, say that you'll be true,
Well, say that you'll be true
and never leave me blue, Susie Q"

On a different note, I got the games people have been recommended to me so far--- I mean those which are based on Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Their advice can be always helpful.

 

Someone else is playing this time. (I had added it yesterday)

 

he heh, I was framing an innocent, mwahahahh sorry Als.

 

modwar!

 

I have less of a reason to rant now.

I had friended myself (I have two accounts) and I have just launched the other, almost never used account which has the single player games. Contrary to what was going on with the other account, when right-clicking a game that is "not mine" the context menu displayed "Request sharing" or such, rather than "Purchase"!
So I did, received a mail and followed the link and instantly my games were unlocked. I can now play my own games

Quick test with Counterstrike, all the settings followed through (binds on the F keys included) but some reason the server favourites are empty (not that there were many.. and I suspect them of disappearing randomly anyway so I'll have to see if I can back them up with a script like I used to do in the HL1/WON days.)

At last I clicked that "remember password" box again.

 

A minor gripe is fixed (linux) : no need to have a "Steam" symbolic link in my home directory (pointing to the real directory in separate hard drive), I found out there are symbolic links in the ~/.steam directory that Steam itself must have created.

So, recursive operations can now be done in my home directory without traversing (accidentally or by design) the link and working on the whole Steam directory rather than just my user files (desktop, settings etc. just like C:\Documents and Settings\username\ in Windows)

 

sry, wrong thread

 

A person named Maurice who knows a LOT about Heroes of Might and Magic has given me some VERY valuable tips for Heroes of Might and Magic 3 in the thread I created about this wonderful game.

This guy is amazing and his piece of advice will be always very present to me, I'll always bear it in my mind.

I also wrote some tips for newbies there. They can be valuable too.

 

The heroes community granted me a star for my thread on Heroes of Might and Magic.

http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=40005&pagenumber=1

I am truly grateful because I genuinely tried when I wrote it, although I didn't know they award you with a star sometimes.

Additionally, there are two incredible threads, very smartly written, on Heroes of Might and Magic which help to understand why the series is so great.

I even shared my suggestions for Heroes of Might and Magic VII in the first thread.

I cannot even begin to describe what I feel watching this video, gotta admit it makes me feel so awestruck that I am at a loss for words.

The video shows the unique graphics and art style of Heroes of Might and Magic 2 running on Heroes of Might and Magic 3 --via The Succession Wars mod-.

Heroes 2 has some of the best songs ever created in a videogame...

Every time I check this thread lately I feel like I'm walking into someone's bedroom at an entirely inappropriate moment...

 

F1 2013 has a free weekend pass on Steam plus 75% off if someone is into racing games!!!

 

yeah i appreciate Cyan's enthusiasm but I keep thinking, surely there is a Might n Magic thread already..? otoh it's the only thread i follow on b3d which is currently active... so actually it's kind of adorable to see him gush over an ancient game... ^^

 

And to discover the majesty of P.C Gaming

 

Rockstar weekend still going on on Steam. I got the GTA Complete Package which is all the GTA games between GTA3 and GTA4 plus the GTA4 Liberty City expansion. For ten dollars.

GTA4 requires GFWL which is fine by me but some people don't like that I think.
