HypersomniacLive: That sounds eerily like my own plan.

JDelekto: I'm trying to be cautious and wait to see who ends up on top (kind of like VHS vs. BetaMax or DVD-HD vs. Blu-Ray). :-)

j0ekerr: In the DVD-HD vs BluRay war, the winner was Netflix.

I don't know a single person who owns a bluray player nor has plans to.

ymerejsasnak: Thanks. Was actually eyeing it last time it came up. But I'm sometimes wary of titles with 'roguelike' as part of their description (though, oddly perhaps given what I just said, Desktop Dungeons was the only game I had purchased on GOG prior to this sale)

HypersomniacLive: Not yet, but if I finish my bottle of wine and it's still here, then we'll start having a problem.

Maxvorstadt: Hey guys and girls, what happened this day in the crazy insomnia sale? Wasn`t at home, had some to do. Then I was drinking some Tequila Sunrises with a girl, so I couldn`t follow the thread.
Co8uld you please inform me which games were sold this day?

ElTerprise: No you didn't :)

budejovice: *snip*.....I would love to bag a crit or two for gifting. C'mon GOG, hook a guy up! :)

Shendue: As i already mentioned on this very thread, i started gaming on pc by playing point-and-click games with my mother. I played all the classics in co-op with her, we helped each other taking turns when one of us got stuck at some point.

And my father was what i would define a closet gamer.
My parents divorced when i was very little and i went to live with my mother, who some years after married another man. Buy she always stayed in touch with my father and from time to time i spent some weekends and vacations with him. At one of those times, i guess i was 12-13, i stayed with him on my holidays.
I had an Atari Lynx i received for xmas and i kept playing the thing 24/7 with the two games i had at the time, Blue Lightning and Rygar. Since i was basically glued at the screen all time, he kept telling me that i would become dumb if i kept playing every time, and constantly kept telling me to turn the thing off at least for a little and talk with other people or do something more healthy.
After a couple days with him, i was sleeping at late night and woke up, i guess it was about 3 am and aimed to the kitchen to take a glass of water. As soon as i came out of the bedroom, i started seeing a light and barely audible sound. I followed them and found my father, 3 am, mind it, on the couch COMPLETELY fixed on the Lynx. I swear by God, it looked like he was playing the world championship finals or something like that, he was totally hooked. I said "but, dad...uh...it's 3 am..." and he was, like, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! I FINALLY REACHED LEVEL 6-2! DON'T TALK TO ME!" XD XD XD

Some years later he bought an early precursor of media center PCs, the OLIVETTI ENVISION (it was a revolutionary thing at the time, but didn't get much commercial success). I payed him a visit and he showed me the thing, enthusiastically. He kept saying that it was very cool and had lots of media functions, and was also pretty helpful for work.
I played with the thing a few and found out it had some videogames on a demo disk, so i asked him if i could try them. I started Street Fighter II and EVERY ENTRY OF THE HI-SCORE LIST had my father's name on it. "Work, uh? Sure." XD

I miss him a lot. I know it's kinda of a downer, sorry, but i gotta share: when i went to watch over him in the hospital after i heard he was really ill, i found a copy of a submarine simulator on his laptop. It may be stupid, but as a gamer it relieved me a little bit thinking that he was able at least to kill time and enjoy himself a little bit with something playful as a distraction those hard days.

vanchann: Hammerwatch too.

I posted it earlier, but I cannot find my post! New GoG feature I guess!

I played it on openSuse. I don't know why they removed 128 MB VRAM requirement though. Now they don't write anything about VRAM.

Tekkaman-James: The Rift is very neat, especially the DK2 version. As I said, my friend has one and I've used it on several occasions. Personally, while I am an Oculus supporter, I am comfortable waiting until the Consumer Version is available before I buy one. Hopefully, that won't be too much farther down the road.
