I'm looking forward to whatever you're cooking up, Aya. In the meantime, I should have a trivia of my own to post sometime this weekend.

Don't think those are releases in the English language, nothing for me in other words. I don't like German and the game could have well been in gibberish if I had to play the Italian or Greek version. But I'm sure it will get here eventually. And then I'll be able to play it with this patch immediately installed! 8-)

I first thought he was a religious figure in one of the paintings on the first floor hallway. But after finding the real one (no spoilers here), I'll make sure not to say anything bad about him. Looks like he'd chain me up to his Harley and drag me a few hundred yards. Oh......I didn't mean that Bastich......Uh Sir.....Uh Sir Bastich.......I didn't mean that really!!!

the greek version is in english (thankfully in greece the stupidity of dubbing has not caught on : so 99% of movies and games stay in their original language, excluding cartoons, which are dubbed more)... the only change is the menus are in greek and you have the option of greek, as well as english, subtitles... so you could easily play the greek version, but it does come in a crappy dvd case, instead of the nice american box

[smiley=bowdown.gif] for the Greek publishers then! Even here in Belgium where movies and tv shows aren't dubbed either (except of course the movies /cartoons aimed at children), more and more games are getting translated into Dutch, or an even worse half-arse translation where the voices are kept in English but all the other in game texts (hotspot labels, puzzles involving languages, etc) are translated into Dutch. : Ow, and the dvd case virus is something that has already spread throughout all of Europe, we get them too, most of the time with ugly cover art as a 'nice' extra.
But I think I'll wait for the Benelux release of Scratches. Main problem is that I don't have a credit card, so that restricts me to ordering games from Belgium or The Netherlands. Or of course trading.
Anyway, I can wait, I still have that huge pile of unplayed games to finish (remember? ). Plus, my copy of Voyage has finally arrived, after two previous copies got lost in the mail (another reason why I hate international orders). I have already died three times, I can't seem to get the oxygen level back up. Bloody timed sequences. The hot weather is clearly affecting my ability to solve puzzles. Yeah, that must be it. But this is a Scratches topic, so I'll stop right here.

This game is supposed to be scary - that's not helping!

Status : Offline | I've been a bit out of touch lately, but since the patch is out, am I supposed to have received the game? I still haven't gotten anything yet.
As for the picture, I was angry at the time it was taken so I look a bit meaner than I normally do, but I figured it was better for the game that way and submitted it anyway.
Anyway, I hope I get the game sometime soon as I would really like to play it. I haven't played any games in almost 2 months so I need something good to play once I decide to get back on the wagon.
Later...

| Deleted User | Bastich......The look on your face definitely fits the atmosphere of the game. What is written on your T-Shirt? Can't make it out. Good luck trying to find yourself when you play the game.....it is in an unusual spot....the again (as Aya says) it's an easter egg.

The T-Shirt just has a small American Flag with the word "America" written under it.

I'm trying to be patient, but with the patch out I'm very tempted to just buy the game and play with the patch rather than wait for mine to arrive. There's nothing wrong with having more than one copy, right?

that is true, and you will be supporting the developer too (i got two copies too, the american and the greek version)... but don't forget that your copy will have the patch already implemented... and yes, it's no big deal dloading and installing a patch, but there's a different feeling playing from an installation that already includes your picture!
anyway, i'm sure agustin would be able to answer your questions better, but i don't know if he's even seen this thread! i'm leaving for vacation now, and i hope when i come back i'll see a post from you saying that you received the game and your comments on the easter egg!

Status : Offline | Hey all!
First of all, Bastich - I'm really sorry about the delay behind this patch. It was terrible bad planning from our side, but I trust you will enjoy the result (we just happened to find the perfect spot for your picture ).
Now, you won't believe the next thing, but we were supposed to sign you a box... except my partner recently suffered an accident while playing football and he has his whole right hand plastered Needless to say, he can't sign anything. So we are waiting to see how longer he will remain in this state... if he can recover in a few more days, then we'll just wait a bit more and sign the both of us. But should the recovery take longer than a month, then I'll just have to sign the thing myself and ship it.
Fortunately, this little incident didn't take place during the final stages of development :
Anyways, you could always buy a spare box and then share it with a friend once you receive the real deal

What? You thought he was going to actually open the signed box?!
Surely he's going to put it in a protective see-through case so it will last for years to come. Everybody knows things go up in value when the person that signed it is *cough* no longer here.

I already purchased the game and played it with the patch, so there isn't as much need to get my copy to me as quickly as before. (I liked the game and my Easter Egg as well BTW.)
So take your time getting the game to me, but if possible, could you post a message here to tell me when the game actually ships so I will know when to watch for it in the mail?
Thanks!
