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!

Cook: WE FOUND IT! We have tracked Dr M. down after extensive cryptographic analysis of the giant post-it note that we found in the Grand Canyon (by extensive analysis, we mean we read the forums and picked the most likely explanation). We came ready for a fight of titanic proportions, filled with Dr. M's henchmen, more explosions than a Michael Bay movie, and the kind of special effects budget that would beggar GOG for years to come.

However, it looks like the evil Dr. M celebrated a bit too hard last night.

We debated drawing something insulting on his face, but decided that waking him up might not end well for us.

Still WE HAVE OUR STUFF! Stay tuned--in a few hours we'll be announcing the information live on Ustream, right here on GOG.com!

To continue the rampant speculation: look at that top-most vial of pills. The label distinctly says "Get H". It spells out Geth! It can only mean that EA is the publisher being signed on and Mass Effect (which is definitely not all that old) will be in the first batch of games!

GET HUGE? So that's where all that Viagra spam comes from!

I wonder if we'll get a special 'release day' sale of the first title from the new publisher today , or will we have to wait until tomorrow... or tuesday... My money wants to leave me so bad, it turned green, have mercy on my poor bucks.

Knowing GOG it probably means they've signed Big Huge Games.

Smannesman: Knowing GOG it probably means they've signed Big Huge Games.
I would love that result...but mostly because that means the publishing house they've got signed on was Microsoft Game Studios...

The expansion pack suddenly dissapeared from the EA store . I can't find it anymore .

Wild guessing here, but anyone remembers the Doom comic? Huge guts?

I really, really. really want it to be EA.
Privateer 2 - just for the "too much body hair" line, in the Crios spaceport background chatter, and I can't think of another game that had you calculating how many cubic centimeters of vomit, a drunk in a dustbin would drown in. I really wanted a Heretic, which looked cool and sleek, but I wound up in a Frejj which looked like a ice-cream van perched on two canoes
Or the Crusader games, for the guns and the atmosphere and the American insistence that the word "consortium" should be pronounced "consorshum"
or Bioforge, the insanest point and click ever, with even more internal reading than Morrowind
or the bullfrog stuff.
However, if it's LA, I'd probably play Full Throttle again, but all the LA stuff I bought all those years ago still works, so I don't really have to buy it again
But a GOG update to the old EA stuff would be really really welcome. Blade Runner point and click, Didn't EA buy Westwood? Fight! Win! Prevail!

So glad I'm not the only person who has a soft spot in his heart for that game. While it wasn't the sequel to Privateer I had hoped...it was still a fun game for what it was. And yes, the Heretic MkII was the best damn ship in that game.

Oh man, here we go agian.

Privateer + RF, Syndicate + Expansion, Syndicate 2(what ever it was called) and loads of other goodies from EA, sittting here getting misty eyed when I think about all those old school game, where story was the focus and not so much on GFX.
