What does the something special link mean on the home page?
Does it just mean a new daily deal or is it something else?

We obviously can't be completely certain until it happens, but the best guess we have is that all the daily deals will go up at once, and maybe there'll be a free game for everyone.
If we are really lucky, the special item will be the return of FALLOUT series.

Nobody ... ever ... did as good an intro as Fallout.

I think the special item is the next day's bundle sale with the counter restarting everyday till the sale ends.

No one knows.
Here's a thread that is full of speculations on the subject.
Several of us have at least suggested it several times, at least partly in jest but... what if the announcent REALLY IS LucasArts or Take Two joining the GOG.com family? Wont we all shit bricks 10 ways 'til Friday! I don't know what that even means but it seems to convey the intended idea somehow. :)

No no no... LucasArts *AND* Take Two. Ok, putting the crack pipe down, promise!

Wow, we almost have a double Keaning going on on the homepage right now. :)
I was just thinking... for as much as I already over-spent during this sale, it is a darn good thing that I already have the games I already got... otherwise I can see myself breaking the bank with this one (though I still might)!

This kind of sale is definitely a great one for GOG newcomers.

Did not notice that until you said it.... guess we can only take so much of Jack at any given time. Two would be one too many... :-p

skeletonbow: Indeed. I only start getting tempted when the price dips below $3 though, and really tempted at $1.99 or less. At $1.49 or less I start farting multi-coloured Canadian dineros through a stovepipe into GOG's coffers. :)
lmao Sounds like me....well, that is, except the farting part. It's more like Niagara Falls! ;-)

Today we celebrate 100 years of world peace. 100 years ago, on this date, a Double Keaning almost happened. This made all nations, religions, sects, races, sexes, political groups, NGOs realize that their differences weren't that important in the face of what almost was.

I dont remember that message being there for previous days so this must be something different right?

The counter appeared about 12 hours ago, the thread 8 hours ago.

Cyberevil: Anyone seen LynetteC lurking in here?

Picked up a Bloodrayne for her if she missed it
I knew I should have logged in last night before going to bed, but I'd been helping my sister move stuff into her new flat and I was exhausted. (I wasn't lurking, honestly, although I have been tonight, trying to catch up with everything I missed last night!)

Today at work, my boss was sitting right behind me so I couldn't check my tablet as often as I usually do but on the ONLY chance I got to take a sneaky peek, there was Bloodrayne right there waiting for me! So now I feel bad that Cyberevil went to such trouble for me and I went and pre-empted his generosity. :-(

On a side note - whilst my work computer blocks access to GOG I can monitor my Yahoo email account (in the smallest window possible lol), so I can read PM's from the email notifications. If anyone needs to get hold of me when I'm not around the forums, that would be the best way to catch my attention - even if I can't reply immediately.
I finally pulled the trigger and now have the full Keane collection experience :)
