Ever find yourself coming to GoG multiple times a day? At least once a day, never less than at least once every 2-3 days just to see what new old games or new indie games are coming soon or released?

I find myself in such a 'dilemma'. I am not even sure what genre I am focused on actually. I just enjoy coming here and looking at all the pretty screen shots and nostalgia the games bring me, reminding me of the days of my youth where I would bike down to the local PC game store and stay for 30 minutes to an hour, deciding which game to get, then go back to my parents and encourage the idea to them. ^_^

How about yourself?

I always have some websites opened when I'm surfing the internet. GOG.com is one of them ^_^

Oh, yes, there are definitely times when I browse the GOG's catalog/my GOG-owned games when I get a big fuzzy warm feeling, bringing back memories from my early PC days from the mid '90s. I do tend to get a bit lost and start looking up info on other games of the time and related gaming material, i.e. my favorite German PC gaming magazine of the time: PC Player.

Not only has GOG given me back some of the pleasure of these great oldies, but also introduced me to new (old) favorites like Rollercoaster Tycoon (I must have been one of the three people to not have played this game before it showed up on GOG), Planescape: Torment, Fallout, Might & Magic (6 and beyond - played 3-5 before), Stronghold, Giants, etc...

<3

As much as I like the fact that GOG is bringing me now newer games to my digital doorstep, it'll always have a special place for reigniting my love for older games. That alone deserves a big thank you from me. Incidentally, GOG was pretty much responsible for me getting back into PC (Windows) gaming.

What a great post.

+1 sir (or madam). Just... because.

Nice post.

I think I'm more addicted to the forum. Always curious to see what people are talking about.

Love the games too, but since I can't buy much I don't torture myself that way.

Guilty as charged. But that is mostly because my job is currently rather uneventful, and I have the time. And I'm to lazy to work on my thesis. Damn, I really need to make progress there ...

I find the forums a bit interesting. I actually think I spend more time in here than playing games. Then again I don't have much time for either these days.

Interesting, I usually do Gopher sites.

(No, I don't.)

I do most of my work in front of a computer, and when things gets boring/the computer is working on something, I tend to do a "forum round". Which can result in a lot of forum visits in a day.

I just leave my comp running and the GOG.com page is always open so it looks like I am online all the time like a ghost or something :D.

I normally check in here about 3 days a week, sometimes more.
