Lollipops

[OldsterHolster]

Hi folks. Well, I've beat PainKiller twice, and I'm getting tired of it. The monsters don't scare me, anymore. Heh, heh. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I need something to get me through until Doom III; and, after seeing Fazoul's post and screenshots a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get The Suffering for PC.

Amazon.com didn't have it, so I tried gogamers.com, which Fazoul also mentioned, and that is what this post is all about. I ordered the game on Tuesday morning, they shipped it Tuesday afternoon; and I got it Thursday morning. Six bucks for 2nd day delivery, and they'll ship up to three games for the same price, so that's nice all in itself. Then, when I opened the box, along with the game was a raspberry lollipop and a cute, little, calculator in a small black box.

Now I don't need another calculator, and, at my age, a lollipop is a very small pleasure; but the idea of a company giving a little something "extra" and unexpected sure put a smile on my face. I don't know how many of you use them to purchase games, but I'll have to admit they made a good first impression on me, and their prices are good, too. Its just so unusual, these days, for any business to do anything "nice" that I thought I'd pass along my smile and give them a public pat on the back. Edward.

Newegg does stuff like this too... but you have to add it to your cart. So far I have a free hat, pen, t-shirt, and a paperweight that says "Merry X-Mas from Newegg.com". But yea sound like a cool idea, I have never ordered from there because I thought they sold only games without boxes, and I collect the boxes so that is half the fun lost :p:. But yea the deals look great and I will probably consider them for my next purchase.

GoGamer is great! Everytime I order a game it's from them. I got different extra's everytime as well, no lollipop though :D:

LOL! That's hilarious.....I didn't know that they did that, I think that it's pretty cool too, even if you don't really use that stuff...I wouldn't mind getting the stuff that Donjo got though.....T-shirts and hats are always cool.

On the Suffering, I hope you enjoy the game. I just finished it last weekend, and I thought it was very good. It definately makes you jump a few times, and the baddies are just good enough to keep you on your toes.

I thought the story and creatures were very original, along with the setting, and it was well worth the sale price that I bought it for.

2 things for ya Ed...

1. Make sure you install the patch, if for anything...it gives you a "prelude" level after you are done.
When you finish the game, go back to the Main Menu, and start a new game...and the "Prelude" level will begin. It's very short....but kinda cool.
Also, the game setting are particularly dark, I lightened it up a bit, and it was just as good.

2. There are a few points in the game, where you will have a "continuous" spawn of creatures, when you recognize that this is happening, either backup away from the area, and finish the remaining followers, or run ahead, and pass the area up. I think the idea is to allow you to fill your "Creature Meter" to full, and then move on to the next area of the game.

Have fun,
