Nice sale, cool stuff on my list, ready for a nice rainy weekend indoors! :)
Hmmm, the weather service issued a Hydrologic Outlook and to expect an atmospheric river. But rainy weekend works ;-)

Maybe do some river rafting in the streets....
One game. The only game during the sale that I REALLY wanted.

Pillars of Eternity
Ok, here goes:

the Doom games
the Elder Scrolls bundle
the D&D Remake bundle
Toonstruck
Archimedean Dynasty

Still debating whether I should get the Ys bundle, as well. >_> 'cause I have a feeling that the Holiday sale will feature mostly different bundles.

I finally got a few games I missed:

Chains of Satinav
Memoria
The whole Ys Bundle

There are some left but I guess I have to wait until another Sale for those.

foxworks: Tropico 5 wraps it up for me. I was amazed with my final haul. Given that, I feel this was a fairly successful sale. Cheers to GOG for not letting things get stale.

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy something from this sale, even the freebies :D

Now the difficult choice of what to play first....
Well, I think that with whatever you got for gift codes, you ended up with more purchases overall.

The pacing needs work, but looking at the core of good games for very low prices, GOG did another great job.

Suggestions for games - Hard West when it's available because it looks awesome, Stealth Bastard when you want some hair pulling platformer time, Void for weirdness, Ys when you want an RPG marathon, Technobabylon when you want to focus on a good story, and Quake 2 when you overload trying to play it all and just want to shoot things.
Being currently unemployed I have little money and lots of time to waste on the Internet. So I'm rather proud to say I bought only a few 'essentials' and completed a few collections. Tried to hit the $30 mark as close as possible at the end. What can I say, I'm cursed by being a completionist. It's why I hate collections in open-world games.

Yes, there is quite a bit of variety there. ;-) I just started Technobabylon (shortly after purchase) and I'm enjoying it thus far! Indeed the sales pace was sluggish, but all in all, I was quite pleased. Indeed, Hard West might be my next game and probably released by the time I wrap up the others :D Have a great weekend!
My haul:

Apotheon
Quake 2
Trine 3 (It's awesome despite the bad reviews)
Wizardry 6-7 - not part of the sale but wanted to finish the collection
Little Big Adventure 2 - haven't started the first but I'm a completionist
Jade Empire - Already have it on disk and finished it but I wanted the GOG version too

Also unlocked all the freebies, can't wait for the Linux version of Banished :-)

Got that one as a very nice gift from a lady who dresses up like a bird. But I figure I'll check out their earlier entries first. Have heard lots of good things about Blackwell and Gemini Rue looks like my kind of point and click.

That one looks like a winner. Did some reading and it looks like they brought enough to the table that it doesn't feel like an imitation X-Com in the old west.

You too, take it easy. =)

I've been wanting to play "Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic" so I was hoping to see it on sale. Does anybody know if that game has ever been on sale here before?
I think I'm finally done... probably. Hopefully.

I also ordered a physical copy of Need for Speed Underground 1 & 2 and Most Wanted via Amazon. It's a real shame gog doesn't have more good racing games (classcis too). I already completed the first FlatOut, nearly the second one too. GRID probably won't run on my PC, unfortunately.

My final haul

Technobabylon
Subject 13
Gurumin
Superpower 2
Anno Bundle
X series bundle
Braveland Pirate
Never Alone -I was initally hesitating, as the game's system requirements were a bit high (especially regarding my processor - it's exactly 2.8 ghz), but I gave in and bought it, and, well, the game by itself set out the screen resolution and disabled the effects in order to be playable, and not only this, but also, as I had changed the initial screen resolution (it had chosen a resolution smaller than my pcs native 1366x768) before the game started it prompted me to lower the specs as it might not be playable otherwise. I did so, and the game runs really smooth (hope I won't jinx it!)!
And to figure that I had thought "Which Inupiat would have a pc with such high specs?" -apparently the developer's were kind enough to think about people with pcs that aren't powerhouses, which doesn't happen very often nowadays...
(For these same reasons of system requirements I won't be getting Tropico 5 -what's up with 4GBs minimum RAM, and 8GB s recommended, when Tropico 4 looks pretty much the same in terms of graphics?)

edit-ah yes, and 3 gift keys for games I already own - 2 remaining to give out sometime before they expire...
Packages:

1) Larry 's
2) Doom/Quake
3) Morrowind bundle

Independent games at discount:

1) Blazblue
2) Guilty Gear X2 Reload
3) Guilty Gear Isuka
4) Sacred Gold
5) Sacred 2

I would have bought Fallout classics, too, but i have run out of money for GoG's sake, plus they are not and have never been, in my top priorities... Also i was quite sad, because System Shock 1 didn't get a discount, after all and remains in my wishlist, as of yet...
