I guess it's giftable even though it's free so if for some reason you can't log in to your account we could probably get it to you.

[Rendakor]

Didn't have a GOG account but this seems a good reason to make one; no idea where my original FO 1&2 CDs are, so this is nice.

[Rasix]

I hope the crash issues are fixed with Tactics. It's a fun game, as Fallout combat translates pretty well to the format.

But free, I won't complain. 

[Yegolev]

I just wanted to reinforce that at the moment I'm not interested in doing more than is absolutely necessary for playing a game right now.  The PCSX2 setup I did?  Would not be happening right now.  HEX?  Ain't nobody got time for that.  Presumably these Fallouts "just work" and that's what I'm into.  If Tactics crashes, I'll just go play something else.

Also it's free so what the fuck?

[Miasma]

Never actually played tactics, just Fallout one and two.  If there were crashes hopefully it was memory leak based and this tiny little game can just try and eat through my sixteen gigabytes.

Although I guess it couldn't even address that much space since it would have been 32bit.

So the Fallout games rights are changing hands. gOG decides to offer them for free.
Smells like a gigantic Fuck you! To the new owners.
To which I congratulate GOG.

It's actually Interplay who wanted to release them for free before the rights go to Bethesda.

Yep, like this:

If you don't feel like downloading this because you already have the games somewhere, please note that the "Fallout Bible" written by Chris Avellone in a 205 pages PDF format is downloadable from the goodies section of Fallout 1, and it is so worth it I can't even begin to explain.

[Sky]

Yep, like this:

I think it's more of a

[Yegolev]

It's Sue, isn't it?

[Sky]

Don't give me any ideas!

[Lucas]

If you choose "Outlast" as today's "Brave New Worlds" offer, you'll pay only $6.66. Heard good things about it.

GOG is once again taking advantage of current gaming news drama, and is giving away Dungeon Keeper 1 FOR FREE RIGHT NAO!

Since I already bought that, I now have two.  Of course, I assume anyone that wanted it has already grabbed it.

GOG's latest crazy promo: The Pot O' Gold.

http://www.gog.com/luckoftheirish

Pay $10 and the server leprechauns will choose five random games to add to your library. I got Aqua Kitty, Avernum: The Complete Saga, Ittle Dew, Tales From Outer Space: Mutant Blob Attacks and System Shock 2. Promo ends in about three days.

[raydeen]

GOG announces they will soon start to support games on Linux (Ubuntu and Mint).

Couldn't be happier.

GoG.com's summer sale has started. Supposedly just about everything is 50% off or more, with high-discount bundles and a bunch of flash sales. Today's bundles are Rollercoaster Tycoon and the D&D collection.

[Hoax]

http://www.gamersgate.com/ has started their summer sale, it runs this week. I personally prefer steam keys so its a bit more appealing than gog which I mainly ignore.

So far I've seen Binary Domain ($4) and Vanguard Princess ($2)   for good prices.

[Lucas]

Just paid € 2.94 (or $3.99) for The Witcher 2  ; yesterday only € 1.47 for IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 (it has been on my GOG wishlist for a long time) 

[Kail]

Looks like they're wrapping it up now, with all the daily deals repeated.  Also, they're giving away free copies of Magrunner for the next 24 hours if anyone wants one.

[raydeen]

Once again, GOG beat Steam to the the schoolyard to steal my lunch money. I got:

The two Avadon games to fill out the Spiderweb pack
Two of the Larry games to fill out that pack
The Penumbra Collection
Bloodrayne 1 and 2
Undying
The Eschelon collection
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
Tzar and Celtic Kings (although those might have been from right before the sale - I don't remember now).

[JWIV]

Doing a bit of de-discing finally.

Age of Wonders Classic pack
Alpha Centauri
Papers Please

Trying to resist the D&D Bundle, but that may get me soon.

[Sky]

I snagged Conquistador and Eador.

[Ard]

It's not over.  They always do this around the middle of their sale instead of the end. 

[Yegolev]

I got RollerCoaster Tycoon 1-3 and Omikron.

[raydeen]

GOG just released 50 of their games with Linux clients and have a bit of a sale going on to celebrate (some lucky mugs actually hit a glitch and got all the games for free). Picked up Pirates! Gold edition and loaded it, Darklands and one of the Blake Stone games on my netbook. All Wine wrapped but nice easy installs and had no problems except for Darklands where I had to alter the config file for the fullscreen res in order to get it to launch. It didn't like my native desktop res of 1024x600 so I set it to 800x600 for fullscreen play and then it was happy.

[Kail]

Looks like I've got a beta key for the Witcher adventure game (online adventure game or something, I have no idea honestly) if anybody wants it.  Also doubles as testing for GoG's new totally-not-Steam "Galaxy" service.  Maybe two or three keys, I got two e-mails with different codes so not sure which will work for who.

edit: looks like some kind of 4-player board game thing.  Meh.

[Mithas]

GoG has a sale for 60% off on a bunch of old titles:

http://www.gog.com/promo/ea_weekend_promo_220814

I wonder if Wing Commander I holds up.

[koro]

I can't say, but I know Privateer 1 does.

[Morat20]

I loved Privateer. Snapped up the Wing Commander games, Starflight, and the Ultima's and Dungeon Keeper 2

[Kail]

GoG is now offering movies!  But wait, it gets better! They're all DRM free!  And they're all documentaries about gamer culture!  Who wants to be the first to pay $6.00 for a ninety minute documentary about Bronies?  You can get it in HD!

They're also doing more stuff with local currencies, and rolling out a mobile app, and stuff.  Full video here:

Gross.

[Phildo]

The bronies film is on Netflix.  A buddy of mine and his girlfriend who are not internet people found it hilarious, and now they use the word all the time.  I should show them the juggalo movie next.

[schild]

Given their behavior after seeing the bronies movie, do you want them to be referencing juggalo culture when it's fitting? I try to forget that (and bronies) as much as possible.
