Stilton: Good night. Enjoy your music ;-)
We seem to be the GOG matrons, tucking people into bed and giving them warm milk ;-)

HypersomniacLive: Haha, we seem indeed, especially since our host seems to have vanished for quite a while now.

Not sure I'll hold out much longer myself, haven't slept since Tuesday and my body is quietly starting to say it's time to lie down.

BTW, since your avatar doesn't zoom in, it looks like you got a chess board all over your face and head.
It keeps looking to me like white measles ;-) I think I'll have another go at the snow effect...

And have a long quiet time in a dark room yourself. I've put your warm milk beside your bed and there's a hot water bottle under the blankets. Serene thoughts only for the next eight hours at least ;-)

Great....first I get betrayed by caffeine and doze off in my chair, then I wake up to see a repeat less than 10 hours into the flash sale....

We know you were playing games, but we don't mind. Its all part of being addicted and slightly unhinged at the same time. And next time, drink the coffee instead of pouring it in your ear.

Stilton: That's the GOG patented built in safety net at work ;-)

Ixamyakxim: I was worried that with the short time frame and new(ish? er?) games they might be one and done! Good to know I can sit here with the shakes staring at Game X :)
Just remember, Uncle GOG thinks of everything ;-)

Hell, I can play games and cover the thread at the same time. -laughs-
Might've done better to pour a bit of it in my ear. Thinking it started having a reverse effect after the 4th pot.

True. Just thought it'd be a bit longer. Right now we've had 69 unique items to the sale. Hopefully the overall total is in the 100-120 range.

We're seeing repeats so it'll probably all come around again, along with all the temptation you've missed out on ;-)

budejovice: LOL. I thought I was twitchy over here. :)
Not twitchy anymore, thankfully. Just came up with a plan B that sounds pretty good. Even if the rest of the sale doesn't have a single item on my list, I can still finish off over half a dozen open series with the overall sale. Not the most cost-efficient method, but it works pretty well as a consolation prize.

The main word they're leaving out is "unique". There will be more than 200 flash deals, and there are 30 deals an hour, given that the main list has 27 and 3 of them change every 40 minutes. But they made sure to not include language that would be false advertising in the case of repeats.

I'm guessing they include the bundles too. And it looks like last time, there are non-flash, non-bundle games on sale too. But you have to do a bit of hunting for those.

I've talked myself out of almost everything I've put in my cart so far. I think all this talk of moderation and careful consideration has fu%^ed up my head. :/

Wings Remastered is coming up....
Posted December 05, 2014
Midnight has come and gone and I'm thinking, how the hell have I allowed myself to clock-watch in forty minute segments again, and so soon since the last time? Oh, these cruel little games have a lot to answer for...

The flash sales rotate at the rate of 9 per 2 hours. After 48 hours we will have seen 216 rotations total. So I guess 200+ is accurate if a bit misleading.
