I'm German and I've never heard that one. :) The more usual form is a snowclone literally translating to: Back in the day you used to be [positive adjective 1] and [positive adjective 2], now you're just "and".

That's a variation of the one I posted and that one I knew too.

Minus Sam & Max?
It seems so.

it's turning into an all out slog between these two

I'm thinking FTL is going to (slowly) take it

Yeah missed that. Thanks.

Did you click on EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM or missed some due to trivial and superflous activities like, you know, sleeping?

Because i basically clicked on everything once, bar some games at the start of the sale because it already started and maybe 5-6 while sleeping in the last 3 days and i've got 3 (The Last Express, Pixeljunk Monsters and Monster Bash) until now.
I think it's not a random chance at every game, but rather more like some of the games are precalculated as free for you and if you miss those you can definetely not get any. You MUST stay as awake as possible and click on almost every single one, to have a chance. Or just be VERY lucky...i called a friend of mine last night to tell him that Rangnar Tornquist was on the forum and he came to see, casually clicked on the two games of that moment and got a freebie, and he wasn't even following the sale at all.

But still not enough power to light up the engines.

*randomly opens GOG's home again*
*sees Sam & Max*
*WTF! Buys it*
:D

OK, folks -- tell me why you love FTL so much. Can you tell me another game I might know that it's like? I'm not really into space/sci-fi all that much :p

EDIT: spelling :p

I got 3 'til now. You just have to become a sort of zombie like me by forgetting sleep, staying awake and online almost 24/7 and click on every single one of them.

GOG proving that nothing is Faster Than Light after all. ;)

hmm, I am not clicking on every game hoping for a freebee. I am just clicking on games that i actually want and hoping that others who want the game I am not interested in have a better chance at getting it for free. free games are nice, but what's the point if you aren't gonna play them? unless you are gonna gift them I suppose.


edit: oooo, I didn't go flying back five pages after posting. nice!

I just looked at the german insomnia thread, Only about 70 pages LOL beginners :)
