CarrionCrow: Yeah, so do I. Went 8 for 15 on bundles last year if I remember correctly, hopefully there will be ones that have titles I haven't retrieved yet.

Niggles: Prince of Persia bundle on the cards?. Interplay?..trying to think of bundles gog might put up but werent on last year..

It might be hard with indie games -- unless you theme then, cause most seem to be one off games? ie Eschalon series?...
Depends on which way GOG does them. They could go by publisher, or they could mix-and-match based on a theme. The only thing that's pretty much certain is that everything that's getting run through the wringer won't be on display next month. (Thankfully. Heavy repetition has caused a bit of burnout after seeing the flash sale merry-go-round for days.)

Well, a few repeats or mixes wouldn't hurt, some of us have a few holes they need to stuff. ;-D

Niggles: Well IAmSinistar waited around whole sale for this to come up... and they generally have very good taste... so im sure it would be a worthy game to buy...

CarrionCrow: Well, I bought it and I've enjoyed the first few levels. (aside from dealing with suicidal jackass passengers who demand to be placed on the outsides of the ship and right in the line of fire)
*puts it on watchlist for Christmas*

Not a bad idea. Weird as it is to say, a game's either got to have a lot of appeal, or the person has to be impulse buying, to drop even 7 and a half dollars when there are much cheaper games in abundance.

A random thought as the "flash" sale lurches into its final round of death throes -

It is damned hard to find things sometimes, even with the internet's help. Have spent hours looking for official versions of items for someone, and it's like wading through a frigging ocean of half-assed bootlegger garbage to find things I can buy that will actually support the people I want to give money to.

Are you referring to something specific?

Yes. Spent hours looking for official Cowboy Bebop items before managing to locate a licensed manufacturer. Have been using that info to find what I'm looking for.

I guess that's the blessing and curse of the Internet - it's vast and one stumbles upon lots of unwanted links and locations before finding what's useful or usable. Hope the next phase will be less stressing for you. :-)

I appreciate that. =) Actually managed to get lucky and find something that'll work. Not as much of a selection as I hoped for but I wasn't going to settle for sending knockoffs.

Also, I have to ask - what else are you thinking of adding to your list? I'm curious. (Not that more info makes it that much easier to plot for later....oh, good heavens no....)

OK, I'm known to be pretty naive and easily fall for fishing questions, but you're not even trying here. ;-P

On a more serious note - aren't over 60 titles enough of a wishlist? ;-D
I have no idea, I use my wishlist for my most wanted titles, and add when I spot something new that catches my fancy or when I revisit the catalogue and noticed I've overlooked a title. So, in terms of "thinking", I've not done any thinking.

Are you thinking of extending yours? ↁ_ↁ


Side Note: It'd appear that the last six Flash Deals in the line are in the exact same order they were during Friday noon/ early afternoon GMT time, and the next three to come up are also in that order. Wonder if we're going to have a complete repeat of Friday till the end.

Okay, fair enough. And yeah, I know that wasn't exactly subtle, but I'm fairly certain that watching this sale is slowly consuming my will to live.
On the subject of wishlists, dear gods, no, I'm not thinking of extending the list any more. Already did that earlier and ended up with close to 50 more entries. -laughs-
And sure, why not. It kinda makes sense in a "screw you for tracking this" kind of way. Just keep the combination of pain and monotony all the way to update, that's the way this sale's going for the last leg of it, apparently.

60 on your wishlist and yet no GOGwiki page that will allow us to stare at them....

Oh please, don't go there. It's just a terribly paced sale that's almost over, that should make you feel a bit better. :-)

Good. The way to go about it is to get it down to more manageable numbers before adding more titles to it again.

Cheers, got a good laugh out of that.
Sadly, it looks like I was right, as the three upcoming titles are again in the same position and order as Friday afternoon GMT. *sigh*
