CarrionCrow: -laughs- That is a serious thematic stretch.
It does seem a bit stilly, especially as they are using the term strategy milestones.

And here is Judas confirming it:

Oh boy...that's just really, really bad.

Guess that's what happens when you don't have a lot of racing titles. Have to shoehorn those in wherever you can.

I seem to recall them doing similar things in previous promos. But I can't remember what they were, but I'm almost certain I have seen this kind of thing before. I guess it's nice for those who like the games.

Do you own many of the games that are part of the weekend promo? I own two (Celtic Kings: Rage of War and Capitalism 2), but both of them were from the mutator promo, the mystery games we got stuck with.

Let's see...

Okay, just looked, after grabbing 7 earlier, I now have 31 of the 39 games available.

Well you definitely have my tiny two games outnumbered. :-)

You have more restraint. Not necessarily a bad thing.

It seems like RPG's, adventures and strategy are the core of what GOG has to offer.
I tend to prefer RPG's, with adventures and strategy coming in second. (Aside from when some vicious platformer shows up.) So I have a lot of them. =)
Well, before I gave anyone the chance to talk me back from the brink of insanity, I purchased Sunless Sea and the Humble Weekly Bundle.
The more I read about SS the more it sounded like something I could get lost in for quite a while.
The bundle was just way too good a deal for $10, there are 4 drm free games in there I've wanted for a while.
Call me crazy, call me wild, call me when dinner is ready. :-)

I'm not sure what my favourite genre of game is. It tends to change all the time, depending on my mood. I like most kinds, with the exception of sports games, racing games, and Pigeon dating games. :-)

I'm not as keen on a lot of the newer games, especially the indie games. I know many love them, but they just seem so cheap and lazy to me. Not all of them, of course, some are wonderful. But too many are just poorly made, IMO.

Let us know what Sunless Sea is like. It seems really interesting and is quite high on my wishlist. But I'd hate to spend money on it if it's not great..

I would say RPGs are my favourite genre, followed by strategy and city building / sim type games. But I will also play most things other than sports and racing games (and dating games although I can't say I don't want to play Hatoful Boyfriend just once...). I've never been much of a fan of adventure games, except for Discworld Noir.

I kind of disagree about the indie games though, they're mostly the only newer games I can stand. Sure some require a bit of polish or are lacking somewhere, but there are some real gems out there. Big budget AAA titles do nothing for me anymore, unless they are Nintendo games.

Now the responsibility rest on your shoulders. The children will be camping out on your lawn, eager to hear what the messiah says about the game. All the while they will be drinking alcohol, littering, and listening to their horrible modern music. :-)

Good for you. =) Feel free to let us know how the game is, that one generates definite interest.

As for insanity, if it's any consolation?

This month I've purchased Grim Fandango, Cyberia, the Made in Spain Humble Pack, Volgarr the Viking, the Necromancer DLC for SOTS - The Pit, and 7 other games I'm too lazy to even check at the moment.
And that's not adding the rentals for Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex Human Revolution, four Tomb Raider games GOG doesn't have, Valkyria Chronicles and some FPS thing.

Enjoy your games. That's the important thing, crazy or not. =)
The problem with being a cuddle bug is that not only do you need a lot of hugs but you prefer to physically hug people.
I really want to physically hug every single one of you.
