Gnostic: I bought this symphony. I don't know why, but my threshold to buy games seems to be slipping lower and lower the longer this promo goes.............
Well, Symphony IS a great game.

Although this may depend on the music you use. But with the right one it can be : thrilling, hilarious, relaxing...

It's a great way to listen to your music, and to "live" it. Especially movie soundtracks (if you don't feel like seeing the movie instead, which is, I guess, also a legitimate way...)

musteriuz: You must contact support within 14 days to change it into a gift code and not make any attempt to download it - that is do not click on it on your game shelf at all!!! apparently :(
Uhoh...wish I had known that before. I didn't download the game, but did what I do whenever I get a new game: download the avatars, artwork and BGs to see if there was anything good(there wasn't). I'm guessing a pinky swear that I deleted them is not going to cut it...

vulchor: Do you think it would be a nice place for a young child as well? Always gotta plan ahead for family vacations.

bluey83: Well I have to say first taht it was a long time ago I went so a lot will probably have changed and I was only there for a day. It was mainly little shops and bakeries and the like that I got to see as I was with company who thinks that all you do is shop at these places lol. There was lots of grass area and people having picnics and that sort of thing too.

Of course, if said young child likes sparkly Christmas things they would love it, there was at least a couple of shops that were solely selling Christmas things! It was truly like stepping into Santa's grotto!
As far as the Christmas things are concerned, that is exactly the way Frankenmuth is. There is a gigantic year round Christmas village up there. I guess with Christmas being so commercialized as it is in the US that it's a good way to get tourist money.

Tarnicus: Yes you have to be in your 30s at least to win free games!

Gnostic: I bought this symphony. I don't know why, but my threshold to buy games seems to be slipping lower and lower the longer this promo goes.............

I would not have buy it under normal circumstance, let me shore up my resistance by reminding myself that I have breach 200 games early this year, after a series of promo by this naughty GOG I have 293 of now, hording an eye popping 100 games in this few months.........

No, not working, it makes me want to breach the 300 milestone even more.........
LOL I hear you!
First stage: "I have no interest in this game at all."
Second stage (many minutes later, many copies still available): "Well, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. But nah."
Third stage (nearing the 45 minute mark, bar still going down sloooowly): "I'd probably try it...eventually. It's got to be kind of good...if 100 people have bought it already..."
Fourth stage (hour mark or more): "What if I get really really bored one day and exactly in the mood for this type of game- even though I normally never play this type of game, and here I could have had a copy for 75% off?? I'd be kicking myself for sure!"
Final stage, thoroughly Keaned: "OH NO, ONLY 30 COPIES LEFT, MUST BUY IT!!!!"

Well crap! I'm 40... no wonder I can't win any freebies. lol

Now I have to wait until I'm 55 to get 10% at the restaurant (still no freebie, but it'll do)

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I resent the fact that "30s" is old... what does that say for me at 40? Do I need to chase you off my lawn with a walking stick? lol

Tarnicus: Cheers for that link. Looks like I'll be getting stuff done today, maybe even...PLAY a game? lol

bluey83: You mean we are supposed to play these games we are buying?!
That's the rumour going round...I dunno, I've got 207 on my shelf and the last time I finished one of them was back in the 90s, before GOG existed. I thought this was a back-up service for all the boxed copies of games my mother threw out when I was younger? I didn't realise we were meant to actually play them. I think I prefer the chattiness of the forum/gifting game but I'm still not sure how I can "win" it?

That's the preferred way to chase someone off your lawn, but really any old stick will do.
