    The real question should be who isn't looking forward to it.

    So you are saying if Windows 7 is a 10/10 there is absolutely no flaws on it? Implying that Home Premium, Ultimate, Professional and Enterprise are worse than just plain Windows 7 for a larger sum of money?

    A DARK ROOM | REVIEW
     
    "the fire is dead. the room is cold. awake. head throbbing. vision blurry."
    "stoke the fire."
     
    Note: Before you decide if you want to read the entire thing or not please take in mind this game is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend this game to anyone as it trumps even some of the modern games emotionally in my opinion.
     
    Hi guys.
    Being a person that enjoys going on things such as Reddit, I found a thread which labelled a  bunch of Click and Reward games like Cookie Clicker for example. I was going through the list of these games and found one on a website called 'A Dark Room'. I played the web version of the game first (will include a link below) and didn't actually end up completing it but thought it was an amazing game. After this, I coincidently found an iOS version of the game on the App Store. Normally, games on the Store are just degraded version of the original but mobile version of the game was utterly amazing, truly... it is free at the moment so I suggest you pick it up! The look the developers were going for was a simplistic page on the App Store just like the game so please don't ignore it because of that.

    A Dark Room is a Click Reward Game that was made firstly by Michael Townsend who made the web version which was followed by Amir Rajan who made the iOS version. Amir also made the game playable by an audience of blind fans that play it with voice recognition instead of the simple text. Amir actually was confronted with this when one of his fans said that he got to a stage in the game but couldn't get past it as he just had no guidance what so ever. This lead Amir to wonder what was wrong and it wasn't until the fan mentioned he was blind and couldn't finish the game that Amir realised that problem, so Amir ended up changing the game to be completely playable by deaf gamers which amazed me. The game is designed to be a simplistic text based game which adds to the affect of it and doesn't completely fill you in with the game which leads for people to second guess and make up what they believe happens in parts of the game and try solve the mystery.

    The game starts as you a wanderer waking up in "The Dark Room". The first famous action is you stoking the fire and results in a builder or 'her' coming in and trying to gain some heat. This sets of a whole chain of events of you and her constructing a village where stragglers and families take up residence as you build more huts and buildings such as an armoury, lodge and trading post. This also brings in traders and results in the village being targeted by feral animals resulting in the village dying off and rebuilding and other wanderers asking for supplies which is a role of the dice as sometimes they will run off with them or keep their word and come back with more. The game is surrounded almost completely by luck and persistence.

    After your village has gotten established and made the supplies such as weapons, armour, food and torches for the journey, you can buy a compass from a trader and head out onto the dusty path where the game takes a turn and you can find mines to work in, outposts, cities and alien bores..

    I'll leave you guys to decide whether or not you want to play this game, but seriously it is probably one of the most heartwarming games I have ever played and even brought a tear to my eyes at some time with the quotes and mystery in the game.

    ★★★★★/★★★★★

    Scary fps shooters? Maybe try Metro, L4D, DOOM, Bioshock, Sniper Elite, Stalker, Amnesia if mods are applied.., Dark Light is a highly anticipated zombie parkour gaming which is said to be amazing and maybe try Dead Island. You may not think of any of these as good games or your type but just throwing out a bunch of suggestions.

    If he was steering to the right to hit him the car would not, COULD NOT have fishtailed and hit with with the right side.
     
    The fact that the car reacted the way it did is 1000% proof he was steering LEFT to avoid hitting him.

    That's fine, your opinion is noted. If you do end up choosing to get a refurbished product get it from a manufacture as the others have said.
