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!

Thrasher1984: Hi community!

I snatched some free games in the official thread during the awesome Fall Insomnia Promo, so now I want to give something back to you guys. :)

Would you like a free copy of Anachronox? Just answer the following quiz:

Anchronox uses a strongly modified version of the game engine originally used in [answer].

?RFC-9X47-4K8D-L97L

The missing letter of the key is the first letter of the answer. Good luck! ;)

hydRane: Got it! Thank you very much :)

MisterLovejoy: I think he was just being realistic. If you want to give a specific bum a dollar, you dont throw it into a horde of bums. What do you think will happen?
avatar
Buenro-games: Haha, good post. The use of the word "bum" made it sound funny although a bit rudish, maybe if we replace "bum" with "banker" it might be a bit more PC and keep the same idea. : D
I felt that. I almost replaced it with hobo but what can I say but I'm originally from NYC. We say bum there.

Fesin: Okay, that's weird.
I just checked GOG.com on my pone, and the time there is ~ 2-3 minutes less than on my PC.
Wtf?
You have to give it at least 5 seconds to synch. The displayed counter is local, it polls the GoG server on a 5 second heartbeat to check if there are adjustments to the time to be made (due to votes or sales). I've seen mine suddenly jump up an hour after a refresh during the DX sale.

graspee: I think it's great how generous some of the members of gog are in gifting people games when they can't afford them or missed a sale but is anyone else uncomfortable with how this seems to have increased the numbers of people begging for games? I find the worst posts the ones that are oh so subtly begging, e.g. saying "gosh darn I just missed this sale, now i don't have this game oh what a shame never mind hi ho I'll just go and tell the orphans they can't play The Witcher 1 now"...
I laughed :)

And you are right on the spot. It's very nice to see all the gift giving people here, but I always cringe when I see the begging posts.

MisterLovejoy: Right on bueno, but people should also have manners. It keeps civilization, well, civilized. Saying thank you doesnt hurt anyone and when someone does something for you, IMHO it's required (regardless of the motivating forces involved).

...and yes, i agree with the name and shame suggested earlier in this particular case and did not miss the point of this sitch.

Buenro-games: Agreed.

deneric: It's not so much an issue of not being thanked as it is that the gifter was very clear in his desire for the game to go to Goldragon, but it was still ninja'd from him before he could enter the code.
avatar
Buenro-games: But if that was the case, I think the ninja should be thanked for teaching the gifter a valuable lesson about using a public open forum to offer a key to a specific individual instead of sending it in a PM message. No??...
I was the gifter and I think you both have a point. I offered the code to goldragon, but I was well aware that someone else might snatch it when I post it openly. If it would've been a special code I would've sent him a PM. But it was a Torchlight code, people still have tons of it from the free givaway half a year ago.
Another code I posted stayed unredeemed for fifteen minutes and when I tried to give it away in the past, I wasn't even able to find someone who wanted it.

On the other hand I think that a polite ninja could at least say thank you.

Woo, get Amnesia if you're been short on nightmares recently.

IAmSinistar: Going by your join date, you can comfortably assume have been one for a while. But yes, ownership of The Witcher is like learning the club's secret handshake. :)

gscotti: There was a time I thought Fallout and Fallout 2 were those games... imagine my shock when GOG pulled those games from the store. But, OTOH, those games probably were owned by everybody on here.
I chose The Witcher for that badge of honour, due to the connection between GOG and CD Projekt RED. :)

Oh hey, this sale's pretty good!
Posted January 30, 2014
Don't know this game. Worth of its sale price?

I'm under the impression that it happens ever sale. During the Insomnia sale, there was one person going around ninja-ing keys. Haven't seen that person since. I've held my tongue on the subject, since people still want to give them out, there is nothing I can really say.

Went ahead and got this. Seen so many playthroughs though so will not play it for a while.
