zillatain: It wasn't unprecedented. The dreaded Jack Keane 2 took about 4 and a half hours to sell just 100 copies in the 2nd round. But only took maybe 15 minutes to sell 25 copies in the 3rd round. Also if I remember that was the only game they reduced the quantity in the first sale.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: People seem to forget that the main reason Jack didn't sell well is because of the high price - IIRC, it was the highest priced game of the Fall Insomnia Promo - but when it popped up as a freebie, I barely managed to see it fly by.
Yeah that was really the main reason. It was 11.99 when everything else was mostly in the 2-3 range.

odbo255: I've never used python before. I've downloaded the script. What's the easiest way to run it on Windows?
avatar
Kamamura: Just install the interpreter

https://www.python.org/download/windows

Then associate the ".py" files with it.

Double click script - tadaaaaa.
Cool thanks, I think I have it almost working. The copy/paste from the github webpage lost its formatting so I had to manually re-add the tabs for indention.

Now its no longer complaining about the lack of indents, but a syntax error on the following line:
print sys.exc_info()[:2]

Kamamura: So, on to more serious topics.

Who do you think would win - a ninja or a pirate?

budejovice: Pirate.

Edit: ninja'd
See you just proved yourself wrong given you were ninja'd :P

psyciceman: Lucky duck, I've gotten nothing for free, though I've only bought 10 games though.

aderek79: 9 bought, 2 free for me on this sale, but I didn't get a single free game in the fall insomnia sale.
20 bought now, not a single free :/
Might still happen though :)

Yeah, just the roll of the dice, still happy with this sale, got some old favourites, some I've been meaning to try, and the usual impulse buys.

phaolo: GOG should have limited the freebies for single people and spread them more..
Sorry to butt in, but you I think that you've misunderstood how the freebies work this time.
They have not decided that X and Y users will get a predefined number of freebies. It's totally random. I think each freebie per game is assigned a unique checkout url and if you happen to get it when you click on the "buy now" button then you get the game for free, if not then you you're asked to pay.
The measure they've taken this time though is that you can't get a different checkout url after you first click on the "buy now" button of a specific game, so there's no point to try and retry for the same game.

is SHatered HAven that great? I got it as a freebie a long time ago. I don't usually go for horror genre. Compared to other games, the screen shots look tame--old style original zelda.

So, is it enjoyable?

jimnorth: Haha, what? Was just showing you the lists and reasoning, man. :D

Conrad57: oh, ok. Underlining things seems more forceful than just showing your own reasoning.
The underline is the indicator for a link to the second list. Automatically does that when you use the [url] tags.

You can still win if there is a next game :) ( sorry if my english is not very good when explaining something :p)

Not yet.

Tarnicus: Congratulations :)

I don't understand why people complain about fairness with a random number system. Freebies are purely related to a small chance once clicking "Buy now" regardless or purchases, join date or rep. To anyone that get's a freebie(2 for me and 60 purchases or so) congratulations!

Niggles: Its only the jealousy factor -- someone gets something free, and you dont and it keeps happening...that's all lol.

Btw what games left you eyeballing?
Krondor/FTL but not for myself as I already have them :)

Conrad57: oh, ok. Underlining things seems more forceful than just showing your own reasoning.
the underlining occurs when a link to a post is made, as it was there. It isn't for emphasis :)

Don't copy-paste, install a git client and pull the code from the repository like a civilized person ;-)

Formatting is indeed important, because it denotes blocks (just like parentheses in Perl, for example).

Careful about endline when importing scripts from Unix like systems - endline "\n" characters differ.

I will look at the script...

Ah, ok. I got it when pidgeot showed it was a link, several posts ago. I've seen it with addresses here or when people say, "click here," but it just looked like regular underlined text.
