moonshineshadow: Yep I agree here. I think if the whole sale had been done in one week instead of dragging over two it could have been quite good. Of course Insomnia would haven been even better ;-)
I couldn't believe the Summer Sale was slated to run for as long as it did, too! I think it's just the "nature of the beast" - GoG has to account for a lot of users over many timezones and with different levels of *ahem* dedication to the site ;)
I know I love to constantly peek in on a Flash Sale and see what's up, plus I hang out in the threads. On the bright side, I'm pretty sure I'll rarely miss a deal (though I had a funny "sweating it out" set of moments during the Summer Sale - let me know if you want to hear ;) ). On the down side, I see a lot of what the sale has to offer early on.
In the end, I'm glad they last as long as they do because the most number of people get a crack at a Flash Sale. Plus I'm biased because I can just "hang out" in these threads once the actual sale gets a bit boring to me (though really, even after I've seen games it's still fun to agonize over $1.49 title I'm seeing for the 8th time - it's so cheap... but will I ever get around to playing it... but I mean that's like not even a coffee... on the other hand I haven't even played game X and that's one I really wanted... ;) ).
On that note - how's that adventure bundle? The Wadjet (sp?) one? I'm not a point and click person, especially an "old school" one (once in a while I'm sucked in by one with gorgeous visuals and a different / unique story). The reviews seem good and I like the off beat subject matter. Things I don't like in adventure games: obtuse inventory puzzles (The duck combined with a hamburger will NEVER, EVER turn on a broken light! Your game is stupid for making me think it should!).
