JudasIscariot: IIRC, we did have a merchandising errr thing a looong while back but I don't know what happened. Personally, I'd like to see some GOG-related merch because I like our graphic designers' work. That DRM free revolution shirt's graphics were made in-house :)
That would be sweat. Design is very good indeed.
Insta-buy for me if that ever happend. ;)

I know one design I'd like to see in general circulation would be the GOG.com logo with a couple of the GOG Bears to the side of it since, like them or not, they are part of the site :)
Wow, I'm glad you did it, awalterj! :-) I'm also happy that you enjoyed it. Now I'm ashamed that I live only 300kms from GOG's headquarters and I don't have such t-shirt ;-)

And that's a pity that your friends chose a club with 'selection' at the entrance, avoid them if possible (clubs, not friends :P) :-)

RadonGOG: @allOfThatPaintings:
How long did it took to do them? The quality is extremly enjoyable!
@theGOGGalaxy-Shirt:
Want pics too!

BTW @Judas: Where can someone buy your "normal" merchandice like the "Join the DRM-free revolution-shirt"?
If it´s not sold regulary could you please consider selling some @gamescom; as gamescom does have the right infrastructure for that and your head company will be present at Gamescom as well!

JudasIscariot: You know, I am not sure what's going on with our merchandising plans or if we have any at all. Perhaps a wish is in order for GOG-related merchandise? :)
It looks like there already was a wishlist entry...
http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/gog_tshirt
...but still, please just let the "Witcher III presentation guys" bring some shirts to Gamescom for sale anyways :D
It´s a perfect place for such a thing!

awalterj: After getting something to eat at a fancy looking place we went to this club (Sireny Spiew) but the security wouldn't let me in, despite me wearing the neat GOG shirt and bringing very nice looking company. I asked the guy if my personality wasn't enough and he said that if I had nicer shoes and maybe at least some Jeans or something it would be fine. What is this, people care about clothing even after high school?
That's also the standard here: Long pants and shirts with sleeves are a must and sneakers or decomposing sport shoes are verboten in the better locations.

It's a pity I didn't stay even longer in Poland in which case I would have come to meet you in Poznan but on this trip all I managed was Krakow, Warsaw, a small village near Ostrowite near Rypin (I forgot the name of the village, it's super tiny) and Malbork so this was a North/South axis kinda trip. Didn't even make it to Gdansk or Gdynia so I think Poland hasn't yet seen the last of me.

About the club, I didn't know it was one of them fancy places. Just had the address from my local friend so I grabbed a taxi and went there in the evening after doing my work.

It's ok, I'm actually glad I wasn't let in because I was quite tired after a long day of painting and I don't like going to clubs where it's too loud to talk, too dark to draw and where people dance individually the retarded modern way instead of nice traditional couple dancing. Now that I think of it, if there were any places where you can rent traditional Polish folk costumes and dance in that in pairs to traditional Polish music, I'd be way more inclined to participate.
In the meantime, I'll be wearing my trekking shoes/pants because that's what I feel comfortable in.

EDIT: ...OR I might dress like this, the real Polish way:

Bust out the merch shop and see me spend even more hard earned money at your site. Though I imagine the shipping would be quite pricey. I don't do the trade shows, they are usually in a big city on the other side of the US or in that big island city I want nothing to do with.
Happy you made it awalterj:)
Sounds like you had fun.

Nice pictures and lovely drawings, thanks for sharing.

I'd be happy to host your trip and I take you at your word! :-)

Good to know, thanks in advance! I've had enough pierogi filled with all manner of creatures and things for now but I am bound to return in the future. I haven't even painted all the stuff in the park outside the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw yet, so much to do.

EDIT: here's a shot of home made Polish food, hands down best meal I had and better than any restaurant (I always ate out several times a day and often at nice places as it was so affordable but restaurant food just doesn't compare to home made food)

Without a doubt Poland has the best cuisine in the whole world! It's not bragging. It's a well-known fact! :)

I must admit that I ate so much Polish food I got temporarily tired of it and went to Asian/Mexican restaurants several times.
I can't possibly afford to order Beijing Duck here in Switzerland but in Poland this is possible. Even though consumer goods in Poland were a lot more expensive than I thought they would be, food was unbelievably cheap. Literally half or even a third of what I'd pay over here and the quality is excellent, too. Same thing for drinks, one round for 3-4 people is like 1 drink for 1 person back home in some cases. So it's needless to say I already miss Poland.

I live in Wroclaw and unfortunately I didn't have much luck with Asian restaurants. I've eaten in Indian restaurant Masala but everything there was rather bland while I was expecting more spicy food. But coctails there were really wonderful, especially Mango Lassi.
I live in Cracow and i have to say we have few great Asian restaurants and few great mexican ones too :-)
I love spicy food so both Mexican and Asian cuisines suits me well, but there is nothing better than Hungarian potato fritter with spicy stew :)

Wouldnt say so. Pirogi are fine and Bigos is interesting, but best cuisine? No. ;)
What I love is Chalwa, which is for me typical polish and nothing is better than polish sweets.
