Cavalary: Feeling awkward about accepting, especially since I do have it on a (pretty badly scratched) disk

v3: Would you feel awkward if you had Morrowind printed on a plate, cause that's about as useful as your disk when it comes to playing this game ;)
Well, it still works. And actually now that I looked at it again, not as scratched as I remembered, and most is on the top, not the business side.
It's my DVD drive that needs some coaxing. But then again, being used so rarely, may have forgotten what it's supposed to be doing.

mrkgnao: Another question: can you create a GOG mix that includes the six regionally-blocked games?
That's something I've never quite understood:
How can I create a GoG mix and how can I browse through existing ones?
This function always has been a mystery to me, since the function seems to be hidden somewhere.

moonshineshadow: Yeah that seems possible, I just tested it (currently in Germany) and in the gogmix window the games are shown.
avatar
mrkgnao: Great. Thanks.

So I believe the scheme will be, for people who want to extend their wishlist with games that they cannot normally add, to create a gogmix with these titles, let me know of it, and MaGog will regularly scan these gogmixes and add the titles to their MaGog-based wishlists.

Sounds doable.
Sounds very good.

Scratches on top may equally be a deal-braker as light doesn't reflect back. But you needn't be bothering your bewildered drive with it anymore.

Go to GOGmix page to create a new one.
There is no option to browse through existing ones, other than linking to them from the individual games page, so make sure you save the link to yours.

You can also search for them on Google and other search engines, if you remember the title or the author or some text from it.

Where exactly is this link hidden on the page, is it somewhere on GoG.com or is it like a secret handshake of the inner circle?

Plus, you can eat spaghetti on a plate, but not on a disc, so all in all a plate is better.

On any game page, at the bottom right corner, above the list of related gog mixes, there a "+ Add yours" link.

Yeah, they sure did bury mixes some time ago. Was that when the new design hit or even before that? Feels like something they want to remove but didn't quite get around to yet, and it's sad, because it's something that could add even more to this place if given sufficient proeminence, some way to browse, a description field... And at the very least you should be able to quickly go to your own mixes!

But how many of them are indexed there? MaGog to the rescue!

And the soup tends to leak through the disc, Hard drive casing is much better fit for this.

I did add a "gogmixopedia" feature to MaGog recently. It harvests information from half-a-dozen or so very useful gogmixes and attaches the information to the relevant games. I expect I'll add a few more as I discover them.

Mrkgnao blatantly betrayed the code so we will be withdrawing now for an urgent fraternity meeting. Excuse us.

A "gogmixopedia" that sounds like the name of a recipe :P

Archive.org has an index of gogmixes. Filtering is quick. Filtering appears to be based on the name of the gogmix, not the content of the gogmix.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gog.com/mix/*

Another way of filtering the index, by examples:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gog.com/mix/a*
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gog.com/mix/b*
https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gog.com/mix/c*
