What's Got Into GOG?
No Father's Day Specials.

I felt sure I would logon today, and see Turok 2 on special ... just had a feeling.
Well, we all know, that feelings can sometimes be wrong ... and that surely happened today. :(

Still, I really thought there would be something special on offer for Fathers.

Anyway, thank you GOG for all the specials of late ... you sure know how to empty my wallet.
I don't know what the record is for games bought in a 3 to 4 month period, but surely I am in the Top 100.
Over 200 games since signing up in May.
Only played a couple so far. LOL.

Cheers! :)

P.S. A good reduction on Shadow Warrior 2 Deluxe Edition Update, would also be very much appreciated.
Perhaps you should look for a better luck in June with the most of the world :(

I think father's day is celebrated on different days in different countries :P
How dare they?!
They should have a sale on every day there's anything remotely resembling a holiday in a country!

No doubt.
But while I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, GOG is an International Store ... so GOG should have given me and fellow Aussies something special today .... but not the rest of you Aliens ... wait for your own Father's Day. :P

P.S. Father's Day is a special day for Gamers. It is predominantly fathers that have been battling the hordes since pixels were invented. If it wasn't for us, you'd all be living underground in Silos. I personally killed Quake many years ago, and gave a good hand with Doom and Duked many others ... a true Shadow Warrior am I ... though sometimes seen by the naive as a Redneck on the Rampage, out for Blood.

A box of Killer Koalas is on the way to your doorstep, good sir.



P.S.: Just play some of the many games you already bought here! ( A crazy concept, I know. )

All in good time.

@ALL
I am guessing no-one saw WGIG as We GIG, along with the other meaning i gave ... and also similarity to GOG ... GIG.

Alas, the one definition that should be there is missing - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gigging.

To GIG someone, is to joke them or stir them. Gigging someone on, is like telling a tall story. Having a lend of someone. An attempt at tricking them into believing something ... in a friendly manner. Well like they say (some of us anyway), the GIG is up .... meaning the lie or falsity has been unmasked.

Don't you just love language.

Oh wait, it is JIG is up not GIG ..... ha ha ha ha ha ha .... eat my hat. :P

P.S. At least I can blame my age .... what's your excuse?

P.S.S. I am also between sales, which is a very trying time for many of us. ;)

So you're the one who's been killing of the '90s FPS franchises!

Alas, if only that were so.

I blame lack of stress today and nice sunshine ... easy to get drunk on those.

Or perhaps I was suffering shock from the notion that many stores milk every opportunity, far beyond the pale, but GOG didn't in this instance ... I guess that is pleasantly refreshing in a world where many stores etc just won't leave you alone ... but the surprise was not one I am used to anymore ... so i was disturbed enough to voice about it ... clearly I was traumatized.

Long Live GOG!

And I guess you know nothing about Half Life 2: episode 3 either, huh?

I'm on to you!
We have a comics convention on Fathers Day here in Charlotte:

Or SiN Episodes part 2.

Me know nothing.

Talking about SiN Episodes. When is GOG going to give me a replacement for my Steam version, that I have on a bought disc I paid for, but don't own, as I can only use it by the benevolence of Steam? Hell, I am happy to re-buy it from GOG, like many of my other games ... just so I can spend more time in DRM Free Land .... a wonderful place. :P

And since Half-Life was also mentioned, I'd ask for replacements for all them games .... but I realize one must be realistic in this world ... and not all things can be solved by a Shotgun or other firepower. ;)
