truhlik: I just noticed, that we have FRESH and FRESH TOO on main page. Nicely done, GoG :)
Yes, nice play of words. They couldn't translate this to German though (I just looked). Its telling there "fresh" and "more fresh".
Tempted to write a review for Hammerwatch "Despite name, distinct lack of Dwarves. Am disappoint." but gog's review system is already borked, don't need to make it worse.
I just found this yesterday and I thought I might aswell share it here since it might come in handy. I already posted this yesterday here but since many were asleep then I thought it makes sense to post it again. This is not meant as promotion or anything! :)
The site Rainwave is basicly a internet radio for video game soundtracks.

There are 5 different stations:
All = Mix of the songs from all the tracks
Game = Official Game Sountracks
Chiptune = Chiptune tracks and OST's
OC Remix = All official OC Remix tracks
Covers = Official or fanade covers

The site also features a voting system. When you have an account on that site you can vote from a selection of 3 different songs which one should be played next. But you use the site perfectly fine without any account neccessary.
You can also hear the stations in you preferred media player via mp3.m3u or ogg.m3u. I personally use Foobar2000 but you should be able to use anything aslong as it is capable of using the m3u format.

I use the site mainly as a kind of jukebox thing in the background. It is nice in the way that basicly all songs are Video game soundtrack related. I personally either here the Game station or the OC Remix station.
One thing I have to mention is that you cannot download the songs through the site due to copy right reasons. All the OC Remix tracks are free and legally available through their official site though! So if you like a song just google it and you might find it.

ktchong: Is GOG gonna have a final round in which ALL the games on the list will be available all-at-once? (Like GOG usually did in the past; but there was once that GOG actually did not have a final day that put up everything on sales... the sales just ended.)
No, they only do that for standard sales which have different bundles every day. The rule for an Insomnia sale is that the sale is over when all games have appeared three times.

radiorivendell.com is an excellent streaming site for fantasy soundtracks, I used to listen to it nonstop when rping on NWN servers.

Gonna give it a try :)

skeletonbow: Yeah, I'll try it out sometime. Only reason I haven't so far is $backlog yada yada. :)

skimmie: Sounds familiar. Recently I've started treating my backlog more like a library of sorts. If I want to play a specific kind of game at least I always have a few to choose from:)
Yeah, that's how I view my game collection nowadays too. Back when games cost $50+ new, and would be rock bottom priced bargain bin gems at $5-10, I would buy games I really wanted to play badly for anywhere up to full new price, and games that I wanted and lucked out finding in the bargain bin. Those games almost always got played either all the way through or at least I got some number of hours out of them, but I didn't really have many games that did not get played. Also, while I might buy the odd game that I didn't know about to try it out, that was a much more rare occurrence, and I almost certainly wouldn't spend more than $3 on a random long shot unless the game box materials really had something to excite or interest me. I definitely wouldn't spend $10 randomly to try something out. And so my library was almost exclusively games I played or would be doing very soon.

With online digital distribution however and *good* game prices coming regularly all the way down as low as $1.99 or even lower, it becomes far too easy to be like a kid in a candy store and say "oh crap, I always wanted to try that, and that, oh... and that, oh and that too! Oh look, the entire collection of THAT, and THAT, oh shit there is this too!" and accumulate this massive wall of games for peanuts, some of which you might play in shorter term and others you may never play just due to the limitations of human lifespan. :) But they cost such an arbitrary amount that it's like a cup of coffee... you just don't care about the money. Whimsical purchasing at its finest, and the game companies aren't losing money from these low prices, heck they're selling many more times as many copies as they would have in the brick and mortar days to people who may never end up playing them anyway. It's win win for everyone really. :)

But then we end up with a massive treasure trove of games, and everyone will see/handle their stash differently I imagine but I see mine like a public library of things I can try out whenever I want if I want, but that I own outright and am not borrowing or renting etc. I see it as a pool of options rather than a list of uncompleted goals, although within that list of options there are some games I consider goals to plough through also. :) And others that are on the "definitely interesting to try out sooner than later" short-list.

Then all of a sudden... GOG promo! :)
Oh my god, what is happening with that spam.

Thanks for sharing that. It has really nice music tracks.
As stupid as it sounds I guess a part of my heritage will be my games collection ^^
Aslong as steam and gog will exist till that day. Atleast I can download gog games.
