Ah, cheers. Didn't know if they were cycling games out or not.

Yeah, when I buy games here I always get at least a slight bit of a feeling of excitement for some reason that I *NEVER* get when I buy a game somewhere else. I never really thought about that before. When I buy a game here I either consciously or even subconsciously feel like I'm a being a part of something bigger, while when I buy from Steam, Greenman, Gamersgate, or any of the bundle sites or elsewhere, I feel like I'm buying a bag full of socks or underwear at Walmart or something - no emotive experience at all. I just never thought about that until now.

The GOG forums are also the first web forums not just for gaming, but for anything at all in which I have bothered to sign up for a login to post in, and actually have ended up using it with any regularity. I generally dislike web forums completely and prefer mailing lists, IRC and other more oldschool communication methods, but the GOG forums are just so good it's hard to avoid them. :) I hope the forums or some other new mechanism is present within Galaxy and integrated into the Galaxy client too. Oddly, I largely ignore forums/community of any other gaming distributors/sites out there. I rarely ever post or read Steam forums/groups and they seem to have very very low levels of communication happening, like people only bother to post there when they have game problems or something - no real "community" feel.

The Tex Murphy collection might show up again on the 29th if they do go ahead and do an encore sale as many of us predict might happen from past history.

Penumbra collection is ON FLASH SALE RIGHT NOW, don't miss it! :)

Awwww haha, too cute!

So we're going into the weekend and the conclusion of this long hot Summer Sale. Is anyone still managing to hold off on some wanted games until the last day, in order to see if GOG does some kind of super-blowout at the end?

Banished of course ;-) hope it will be more discounted or maybe free for all.

I enjoyed the Sale and wanna keep a little bit of this excitement just until the end. So I'm waiting to buy Banished until the last day. Save the best for last... Maybe there will be a surprise with this game which I can take - we will see. And even if not - it was a great time and I am thankful for this "event" and the freebies GOG spent.

damn you, despite staring at it many times I was feeling good about having resisted it :p I have Valdis so convinced myself I didn't really need Dust, and although Guacamelee looks cool I wasn't convinced about Unepic. These unsplittable bundles are evil!

Yeah. I was going to pass on Dust, since I have it, but it was cheaper not to. :P

You can try to find someone who already has the bundle and trade for just one game, since they can buy individual titles out of the bundle at the bundle price. I've done a few of those during this sale myself. But yes, it can be a nuisance to have to go through that rather than just being able to grab the one you want yourself. :)

Yeah, I am waiting for Banished. (and payday ;-) ) If it comes on at a deeper discount or free, I'll get it then. If it goes free, and I catch it I might buy a couple extra copies for giveaways. If not free but discounted same thing. We shall see. I'll probably be at work or on the road when it comes up for sale. lol. BTW I don't want anyone to gift me this if I miss it. I have such a backlog of games, that missing one won't kill me and I'll either catch it at full (GOG) price or on another sale.

I'm holding off, waiting for Banished as well. Otherwise I'm just trying not to pay too much attention to the sale anymore. My wallet hurts.

Banished is the only game I am waiting for now. If is shows up on sale great if not then will most likely pick it up at half price. Doesn't really matter to me that much. I've already spent too much this sale, so what is another $10?! ;-)

It did cross my mind :) I did that few times during the winter sale, but there seems to be less enthusiasm for trading now. It doesn't matter, there might well be one more chance and I've no doubt these games will be v. cheap again in future promos.
