Thank you !! Thanks to all of you for your wishes. It's very touching especially as I'm a naughty fishy who doesn't spend a lot of time in the pond nowadays. Thanks again

I would like to add my thanks to too as I got the game Ravenhearst through the post yesterday too (in France). I didn't think I'd get it as I'm not in an English speaking country (one of the mods said it was only for English speaking countries for the moment). So, a very big THANK YOU

This is why we love

Much like the postcards, the mail may just be taking longer to get them to some of you. Hopefully they should reach you soon!

Happy gaming !


Is this worldwide or just America ?? Because I'm in France and would love to get one (pretty please )

Helloooo Red To be honest you don't need to spend much if it's for MSN or similar. I bought one for my boyfriend last Christmas with a microphone (a Logitech Quickcam) and it does the job perfectly. Cost about 15 - 20 euros (similar in dollars I would have thought). I've just looked it up on a site here and it's at less than 13 euros now. I have a Creative webcam and that's very good too. I use it mostly to talk to my family in England and it's perfect. If you go into a shop they're going to tell you that the expensive ones are best and are what you need, but don't listen I went in a shop where they tried to sell me one for 50 euros, this was just before I ordered the one for 15....

Actually, the percentage of Mac users is around 14% in the US.



It's still not very many is it ? That still leaves 86% of PC users. It doesn't make good business sense for developers to convert their games to be played on a Mac and I'm sure this is why there are many that just don't do it. Developers want to make money, they're not in the business to be "nice" to the minority.

Personally I would never in a million years buy a Mac. There's not a good enough selection of games for it, a Mac is astronomically expensive (here in France anyway and I'm sure it's the same everywhere) and it's not fully compatible with a lot of software that IS for the Mac. Where I work they have a Mac and when I use Firefox on it I can't tell you the number of times that it's stopped working and I've had to reboot the computer. I've never had that problem on my PC.

I can understand why Mac users are frustrated, but it's not reasonable to expect the same number of games for the Mac as for a PC. It takes longer to convert a game to be Mac compatible so to expect the games that do come out for the Mac to come out at the same time as the PC version is also unreasonable. Companies would lose money doing things that way.

I haven't quite finished the game so I don't know if we find out at the end, but who was Abigail ?? Was she's Charles' mother, wife or sister ?? She was the one who had him locked up at the psychiatric hospital. That made me go hmmm

Hyped just right !! Haven't finished the game yet as I am savouring it lol. I've freed Rose and the twins, now I'm going after Charles !!

The hype made the game more interesting in that we were "playing" the game long before it was actually released. I joined Facebook especially to be friends with Rose (as I think many others did too lol).

The game itself is outstanding. HO, puzzle and adventure all in one. I was worried that it wouldn't live up to expectations and wouldn't (couldn't) be as good as Madame Fate, but for me it is far better. And the graphics and music are wonderful.

Congratulations to all of you at . You've done an amazing job.

So, MCF 6 is out when ??

I agree totally with you Sandipuppy - the game is perfect !! You can't please all the people all the time

The only little "quibble" I have with it is the spellings lol. No English child would ever say "Mommy" (we say Mummy) and the ginger ale would have had "flavour", not "flavor"

However, I loved the little background jokes like by the telephone the number to call to have a good time with Felix Or the Big Fish Games poster. I also nearly wet myself when it called me clicky-pants !!

It's a hard game, but I love that personnally. Didn't use a walkthrough because that would have spoiled it for me.

I was hoping it would be as good as Madame Fate (which I liked better than Ravenhearst for the puzzles) and I am very pleased to say that I find it at least 10 times better than Madame Fate !! What a fantastic game. Well worth the wait !! Congratulations Big Fish, you've got a real hit on your hands.

It's now after 3.30am and I have to go to work in the morning. If I'm late it will be the fault of the game lol. Kept telling myself "I'll just do this bit..."

Back home from work and downloading it !! Yes !! I was almost scared to come onto the site in case it wasn't there lol. At the speed it's downloading I'll only be here for about another 10 minutes. Got to go help Rose !! Happy Return to Ravenhearst day everyone

After I googled mine I went and purged some things out of a few places.


Just for info - Google holds info in its cache for around three years !! Whatever you just got rid of will still be available until 2011 (or whatever three years is after the date you posted) It's possible to find posts on forums that have been completely deleted.

A 3-year-old little boy was examining his testicles while taking a bath.

"Mama," he asked, "Are these my brains?"

Mama answered, "Not yet."

By popular demand I have changed the name of this post. Originally it was supposed to be a mildly amusing little post that would die after one evening, but it has taken on giant proportions and has absolutely nothing to do with the original title anymore

(((hugs))) to everyone
