Food for thought: up to 80% off The Wolf Among Us, the Tex Murphy classics, Praetorians, Etherlords 2, and more!



Going on a big Adventure often requires proper planning, the ability to think on your feet, and making the right calls. Coming up with the best Strategy to neutralize your opponents demands much the same, albeit in a grander scale. The joined catalogs of <span class="bold">Telltale + Nival + Wordplay + Merge</span> offer plenty of opportunities to handle big decisions in order to either unlock the rest of the story or the rest of the map. Start with the easiest one: to take advantage of the up to 80% discount waiting for you inside. Your backlog will remember that.

Prep your heavily modified DeLoreans and re-calibrate your flux capacitors: we're going Back to the Future! We'll have the time of our lives tampering with the space-time continuum, meeting old pals, and helping Marty knock some sense into Doc Brown's younger self.

How did Tex become this cynical, beatdown gumshoe that we love? To find out, we must look into his very first solo case, which involved a fateful encounter with a femme fatale, an introduction to several bad habits, and a dramatic battle of wits with the enigmatic Overseer.

Manipulating magic and commanding fantastic creatures is no simple undertaking. Aspiring Etherlords must be ready to plan each turn, carefully position their forces, and fearlessly explore the map, while looking for opportunities to expand their power.



Put your decision-making hat on and get ready to manipulate the stories of all the unlikely heroes and nations that live inside the <span class="bold">Telltale + Nival + Wordplay + Merge</span> catalogs: Tales from the Borderlands, Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon, Evil Islands, Imperial Glory, and many more! Their fates are in your hands.
The promo will last until September 27, 3:59 AM UTC.
Oh right, if anyone's considering getting Albedo don't.
The interface and gameplay is terrible.

Good. Nothing for me this weekend. Got enough gaming goodness with the EA triple-release yesterday. ;)

BlackThorny: It seems Gog published this in the Gog Steam group first, then posted in the forums. that's... peculiar?
Edit: My ninja skill hasn't improved, I just happen to see that pop up of announcement in steam as I was just there...
That would seem very peculiar, as the GOG.com group(s) on Steam are ran by people in the community not by GOG.com. :)

PaterAlf: Everytime I see the price for Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive people ($31.19) I can't stop laughing.
Ouch, it's only $6.19 here.

rodrolliv: Will Commandos 2 and 3 ever get non-English audio?
If you pass the game's audio output through a digital delay with about 10 repeats going through a chorus pedal with the rate and depth at 50% or higher, then going through a flanger it becomes non-English pretty quick. :)

A lot of good discounts in this promo. Unfortunately only for the games I already own. :P

goglin: Nice promo, though it needs more games for linux. I already have all parts of Tex Murphy, so nothing to buy for me in this promo.
Same for me, but I have Puzzle Agent and runs well in Virtualbox. I have seen "play on linux" videos of some Telltale game, so you might want to try those on wine.
It's nice to see that Monkey Island is finally getting some "Talk Like a Pirate" day recognition, even if it's several days late and NOT any of the LucasArts ones...

Puzzle Agent works on Wine too, with some graphical glitches in the scenes between the puzzles though, but nothing game breaking so far.

Yes, but to me it was looking really ugly in Wine. Some items were invisible, the main character transparent and the hotel facade completely black! Yes, you can play it but, come on! I guess the glitches are less severe in your case. I must say that I am not impressed by the first puzzles. It's like the poor's man (flawed) Professor Layton until now.

#2 is, by far, the superior game. You just need to play #1 first to understand what's going on.
Really, the puzzles are pretty much crap throughout, mostly generic stuff you could find in any dollar-store book rack, but the story is what kept me interested. #1 ends pretty ambiguously, without any of the plot being explained, and #2 wraps up all the loose ends.
From what I understand, the slow pace (story-wise) of 1 was because it was supposed to be released as an episodic game, with that being episode #1, until they realized that they didn't have as much to work with as they thought they did and rushed what was supposed to be 3 more games into #2.
Thanks for the promo ;)

Good to know, if the story is good then I might take it. Probably it would have been even better if they stuffed everything in a single game, and designed it better...but that's asking too much nowadays (and I'm not even a grandpa yet).

You can install the native d3dx9_36.dll (with "winetricks d3dx9_36") to fix the graphical glitches. At least that fixes it for me.

Nupe, I have it too but nada, zip, minga.
Edit: no, I didn't! This dll solved it for me too, thanks! I'm such a noob with Wine.

Glad it helped! :) I'm not a Wine expert either, but installing a native DirectX version is amongst the first things to try when graphics do not work properly.
