Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

Fesh: E3 2nd of June Los Angeles (LA)
That's how I read it too. I don't understand what's changed, however. We already knew the announcement would be tomorrow (6/2) in L.A. I don't see how the mention of E3 really changes anything.

Judging from your reaction I can only assume a protagonist in RED ARMOR was mentioned.

The obvious reading is E3, 2nd June, Los Angeles (or possibly Lucasarts), but I'm somewhat thrown in that E3 doesn't actually start for another week, so the dates are out. That said, I think Konami's pre-E3 press conference is tomorrow, so maybe that's the benchmark being used.

Or maybe The Evil Dr. M is looking to sabotage a booth at E3 with the make it huge formula? Er. Not that making a booth huge would be all that sabotage-y.

Do GoG/CDP actually have an E3 presence lined up this year? I've not searched the floorplans

I assume the clue is:
Credits => Star Wars => Lucas Arts

Credits -> Star Wars?

We're getting Star Wars Arcade?! OMFGBBQTASTIC

It's a vague clue at best. Credits as currency are used in a lot of games.

Neither GOG or CDP is listed as an exhibitor. CDPR is, however. They have a teeny tiny booth tucked away in a corner.

Tomorrow can't get here fast enough.

The message on the post-it is made out of three different parts.
The middle part "2/6" is probably the second june as in Europe the day is written before the month. That would be the day the gog.com countdown ends so it makes sense.
The ending part "LA" could indeed mean Lucas Arts.

I'm not sure what the first part "EEE" means. E3 would make sense but I don't see how that could be connected with Lucas Arts and the day of tomorrow. In that case, the LA could also mean Los Angeles and the "BE THERE!" part could be a reference to that.

Do you know what would be the biggest and most awesome surprise? If gog.com not only signed contracts with one of the 5 big publishers but with all of them!

From GOG's announcement:
We're going to reveal some big news just before E3 live from Los Angeles. The announcements will be made on June 2 at 12:00 LA time"
