Let's do the time warp again*!

Welcome to our [url=http://www.gog.com]DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! Fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a fascinating ride to the early days of PC gaming and back again, with 30 excellent titles selected from the years 1983-2013, available up to 90% off (that is for as little as $0.59!). You'll find amazing games in amazing prices featured one by one on GOG.com main page, and before the sale is done you'll be able to complete your very own display of gaming history on a budget below $65 (because this would be the cost to get every single game in the sale). Are you ready?

There's more than just buying games incredibly cheap to our DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! We're ready to pass its steering wheel (or rather the control console) to YOU. Each game in the sale is offered for a limited time only, and how long we stay in its year is up to you! Each time you see a new game on sale you can vote to either add or subtract 1 second from the timer. Each time you buy a game, you add 3 seconds to the time of it being on sale. We begin with 1983's Zork, bundled with the rest of the Zork Anthology of 6 games in total, for only $1.79. How long will it last on the front page? You'll be the judge. What comes next, as the game of 1984? Let's find out!

Let's take a trip in GOG.com's DRM-Free Time Machine Sale! 30 great games from 1983-2013 will be available up to 90% off, and you get to decide how long each game is on sale. Ready? The technomagical gateway to 1983 opens NOW!

* "Again?", you might ask, "when did they ever do the time warp?". Well, once you embark on a journey through time, all becomes relevant and there's absolutely no guarantee that what you are doing, you are doing for the first time. In fact, that's highly improbable. After all, time isn't linear. It's more like a giant wobbly-bobbly goggy-boggy ball of gaming awesome!

Since we'll be here a while with a 59 cent-er, what's everyone picked up so far?
I'm at Deus Ex, Gothic, and Serious Sam for myself and a Jagged Alliance code for someone else. Really curious to see what shows up for the 2007-2009 bracket.

I've jumped on three so far, Cannon Fodder, Tomb Raider 1-2-3, and then for some reason when I saw $0.59 my mind went blank for just a second, and when I regained awareness I was removing my hand from my wallet pocket and Serious Sam is now on my shelf. Not sure how that happened.

Just Serious Sam.

I missed Wizardry and the Quests Series.

I still think that doing a sale like this SPECIALLY in the middle of a normal work week, is just poorly designed for older gamers.

But I still love my GOG...

Mmm, I went to sleep and I lost Gothic.

Darn, I overslept. And DX is gone.

Looks like today will be a horrible day.

A lot less to talk about during the $0.59 sale than expected, huh.

Gothic (-1 to my wishlist)
Serious Sam (got the soundtrack, finally)

An evil muahahaha trick for those against (or for) certain games. Yes it still fails me why anyone uses the plus-one-sec button...just buy the game and move on if you llllllove it like that much. On an ipad (or phone) when you open the main Gog screen with the time, open multiples in different tabs. Each one will have the second counter on it and you can push it once per screen.

Stop buying Serious Sam!

Pls.

JohnnyDollar: GOG apparently are doing pretty well with their special promos, because they're becoming more frequent, or at least it seems that way.
Now they just need to add a lot of "new" old games so I can have something to buy... I pretty much have everything they offer pre-1995. Time to raid those vaults, GOG!

Considering that the +/-1 buttons disappear forever (at least, until the next game appears) once you use them, I'd be surprised if pushing the buttons multiple times from multiple tabs actually has an effect, other than the first push. The backend probably only allows you to make a "vote" once since it records whether you voted previously, even if you can push the button multiple times. At least, I trust that GOG devs made it work that way.

EDIT: Just because you see the +/-1 appear when you push the button doesn't mean it was actually accepted on the server end. It's probably just showing that the request was sent out, since it might take a second or more for the server to respond otherwise. The server periodically pushes out time updates instead to reduce load (at least, it seems to work that way).

This trick works with Chrome on a PC too as long as you don't -1 before you open a bunch...

It appears like each one votes on my screen, but who can say for sure?
