Last call! We're running out of Pots of Gold! ;-)

Heads up! Here's your last chance to take advantage of our special offer. Saint Patrick's Day has come and gone, but such a great holiday should be celebrated all week long. That's exactly what we did with our [url=http://www.gog.com/luckoftheirish]<span class="bold">Luck of The Irish</span> soon-to-end special build-your-own-bundle promo! For only 20 more hours you can pick 5 out of 25 remarkable games and create your very own dream bundle up to 90% off. Feeling lucky? Add a "Pot of Gold" to your selection! What's in the pot? Who knows? Maybe it's one of the games off your wishlist? Maybe it's one of the BIG titles? You can even select 5 pots at once to receive a special bundle built for you entirely by our relatively friendly GOG-Leprechauns!

This is your last call, as this fantastic offer will be available only until Friday, March 21, at 10:59AM GMT.

Don't miss out, and Sláinte!

OldFatGuy: That's what you get for owning 596 out of the 600 games sold here! :P :)

Novotnus: Hey, it's around 400, not 600 :)
LOL.

EDIT: Nevermind, just found out. 713 games are sold here. Seems like yesterday it was 600.

Wait, what it yesterday?? :P

GOG.com: Shadow Warrior (2013) for only $9.99? Hell yeah!
Indeed! Bought it for that price during the winter sale and it turned out to be easily one of the most fun shooters I've come across in a long while. I definitely would recommend this to anyone!

tinyE: Ditto Telika's question and....That LSL on the Irish sale is the only one I don't have. Is it worth it if you dig the series?
Yes. It's a great remake of the first game, I loved it.

Why don't you 1 pot($2) can check out?
It's a risky.

OldFatGuy: LOL.

BTW, how many games do they sell here, do you know?
as of today 713. on the front page where you can browse games by catagory there is a total at the top right.

Memoria (English only), Reus, Avadon 2, Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack - although I don't really need any of those games and would probably just add them to the backlog that's a combo I would have been tempted to spend $10 on.

But since three of those can only be added as random pots and I won't even be able to give away surplus items, I won't play Russian roulette until I get what I want, at the risk of ending up with all the other Spiderweb games, Penumbra collection, Alien shooters and other games that I already own DRM-free elsewhere or that I'm glad I got rid of a long time ago.

Good for me and my wallet, bad for GOG. :)

Gave it a shot:
Lily Looking Through (picked this one-was waiting on a price drop)
Avernum (sortas into Vogel's games but hadn't explored his back catalog, so this is cool)
Aqua Kitty (like shooters, hadn't looked into this)
Painkiller (had this on disc already, unfortunately)
Penumbra (already have on Steam and honestly wasn't into)

I'm prepared to call this 3.5 out of 5, which isn't bad.

Some one is telling porkies.

There is over five games listed so far in the pots that I do not have. Every time I try to roll, I get told I already own either two or three of the games, depending on the roll. In other words, the rolls do NOT give you things you do not already own until the games in the pool are exhausted.

yep

i think it's a mix beetwen (max sales decided before for a game) and (how much max sales isn't spent yet for other games)

Elinnea: Wow, nice promo! It's splendid to have options. We're so spoiled. ^^

Games I picked up:

* Avadon (been on the wishlist for a while)
* Avadon 2 (was planning to go on the wishlist as soon as I got the first one)
* Critter Chronicles (I loved BoUT but the sequel/prequel was too expensive for me at list price)
* Expeditions: Conquistador (been on the wishlist for a while)
* Dust (was on the wishlist for a while, just recently pruned it with regret, now I get to play, yay!)

Sometimes the games they select for promos are not very interesting for me, but this one was just right. I have no need to resort to pots of gold, with enough games I can handpick to enjoy, hehe. This brightened up my Friday morning!

Indru: Mine was like yours except for Critter Chronicles. :D I bought Unepic instead.
Woohoo, a compatriot! I was eying Unepic too, but I'm generally pretty terrible at platformers. I love the concept though and have talked myself down from buying it a number of times.

Some of the rolls seem to be incompatible with each other. I don't think I've seen Deponia 3 and Memoria rolled together so far.
Take a look at Sinistar's thread and see how many you are missing. It is possible that you can't get such a combination.

I Saints Patrick's day sale but no Saint David's Day Sale? GOG, I'm disappointed in you.

tonyirvingaudio: Right hand side where the sort by button is, click the one that displays as a list and then it comes up on the top right of your list.

it always has done for me anyway (even if I haven't got any new or updated games) I'm not running any funky scripts just looking at my account in chrome
avatar
deonast: You must have a special account. I fired up Chrome (which really seems to be slugish on start these days) and checked my list which is defaulted as a list and no indication at the top right. I only get it when I have updates. I normally use firefox and I've now tested on Chrome. Maybe your account has a bug with your collection and there is an unseen update that is not showing up some how.

------- edit -----
Even ran a refresh of my account just in case, https://secure.gog.com/en/account/refresh/
nope, no total number of games displayed.
Maybe Mine's bugged?

Look at my post earlier. All 5 games were pot of golds...

Too bad there's nothing in this promo I want, I would've liked to gamble on just one pot of gold.
