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!

physiq: Is Jack Keane 2 good? I've seen it quite a few times in promo. And many reviews sound good. Some reviews are funny. Well, it looks tempting. I'm not sure if I should get it or not.
With regards to the more humorous reviews, take them with a grain of salt; some of them were created out of jest during the Insomnia Sale, due to Jack Keane 2 overstaying its welcome as the featured game.

EDIT: Though, it is significantly discounted at the moment. If you're ever going to buy it, now is a great time. I've also heard it's a good game, just a bit disproportionately priced.

During this promo I've bought:

- Dust: An Elysian Tail
- Swapper
- Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
- Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within
- The Inner World
- Unepic
- Lilly Looking Through
- Triple Town
- FEZ
- Smugglers V
- Expeditions: Conquistador

And I got from pots of gold:

- Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
- Giana Sisters: Rise of the Owlverlord
- Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender
- Avernum: The Complete Saga
- Geneforge 1-5
- Alien Shooter + Expansions
- Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded
- Zombie Shooter
- Zombie Shooter 2
- Cognition
- Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
- Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut
- Aarklash: Legacy
- Deponia 3: Goodbye Deponia

At first I was pretty disappointed with the content from pots of gold, but I got a lot of luck yesterday and today for big games. I've spent on it $58 which I've probably never spend here in such a short period of time.
But considering that it's only $2,32 for a game I think it's pretty sweet :)
Thank you GOG folks for another great promo.

3 days and my rolls are still s**t.

EDIT: some smooth trades counteracted my bad luck : )

If you have these, send me a PM for a trade:
Book of Unwritten Tales, Spelunky, Cognition

How do you guys get the rares?
I've only got the common ones, like alienshooter1-2/zombieshooter1-2/gianasisters.
Posted March 18, 2014
I had no luck with the "Pot of Gold".

Alien Shooter 1 and 2
Zombie Shooter 1 and 2
Aqua Kitty.

No big game and nothing from my wishlist! That's ok but... well. Not sure if I'll have a lot of time to play these games.
I thought I could try it again but it wasn't possible... xD

jamotide: If I buy 3 games plus 2 I already have it becomes a gift order. Can I then use the code to get the 3 games I want and gift the other 2 to someone else?
I assume the same code can then be gifted away to redeem the other 2 together, correct?

donsanderson: Correct
This is good to know. I've never done that. So to further clarify it, please tell me if I understand this correctly. Let's say we buy 5 games from this promo.

1) We buy 5 games as a gift order.
2) We'll have game A, B, C, D, E with 1 gift code.
3) We gift this code to ourselves and get game A, B, and C.
4) We offer this same gift code to a friend and he can redeem game D and E, but he cannot redeem game A, B, and C.

Is that correct? Is there anything missing? Or did I misunderstand anything?

Yes, but this only works if you already have the games D and E.

If you reclaim a gift code all the games that are on it will be transferred to your account except for the games that you already have. The games that you reclaimed will be removed from the code and you can give the code to someone else who doesn't have the games that are still on the code to reclaim them.

I give up this Irish s*it, tried going back, reloading all 5 pots, checked images on firefox just 210 times today and they never CHANGED, not even the order of the games.

No more "luck" sales for me...

I have narrowed down three of my picks for the pick 5 special. I chose Expeditions: Conquistador, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and Book of Unwritten Tales.

I'm stuck on the last two spots though. I tried using the pot of gold option, however each time I check my rolls I ended up with a game I don't want. As such, I have two spots I need to fill.

Right now I'm considering Avadon Black Fortress, Avadon 2 The corruption, or Magrunner Dark Pulse. The other game that looks interesting is Lilly Looking Through.

I hear Magrunner is harder than Portal so I'm not sure about picking this one.

How is the storyline and controls in Avadon 1 and 2?

Thanks for the clarification! It's crystal clear now. :)
