Sword-wielding gamers, shirt-ripping retailers, cake-eating customers, and ass-kicking Heads of Marketing--you will find that and much more in this series of short videos we have prepared for you guys to watch over the weekend. You can watch the first one below, but stay tuned because we will upload a new video at 12:00 PM EDT every day until Monday.

What are they for? What are they advertising? We won’t say--you know how we are--but you can look at our [url=http://imgur.com/a/TOsf2#0" target="_blank]“Making of”[/url] album for the videos here, if you’d like to speculate wildly ;)

Find out what we’re up to when the “Newer, Fresher, Bigger” GOG.com lands Tuesday at 09:00 AM GMT. Hope you guys enjoy the videos!

The DRM Knight -- [url=http://j.mp/GOGvid1" target="_blank]watch it now[/url]
The Regional Ripoff -- [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRdfYwvGTos" target="_blank]watch it now[/url]
The Complimentary Cake -- [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iXd8w2wdz8" target="_blank]watch it now[/url]
The Refined Gamer -- [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvaNgCTncLk" target="_blank]watch it now[/url]

Longcat: Hmm, now where should I post these HD GoG commercials?
Sounds like you have another company's videos, this is GOG, not GoG.

Longcat: Yeah, I regreted not waiting for that;)

But I still have the two remaining commercials in 1080p mp4 format on my HD ;)

A simple thank you would have sufficed. Bwahaha.
Good point. Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe, but I can't imagine what company would use the exact same names as GOG does:

The-Complimentary-Cake-[www.savevid.com].mp4

SLP2000: I'd like to know what music you used at the beginning of this video.

It's sounds like Grim Fandango.

OMG, LUCAS ARTS WILL BE ON GOG ;)
Are you sure? Personally I must think of Sam&Max, but more the Telltale episodes and not LucasArts. Searched for it, but can't find a song which exactly fits. So please GOG, help us out here ;-)

I knew I heard it somewhere. It's used as a theme tune in Taxík, which is the Czech mutation of Cash Cab. I have no idea if the Czech TV's online stream is accessible from other countries, but here's an episode. Nothing about the music in the credits, though, so I still have no idea where it is actually from.

Well, there's a short sample of it in this mix too, not really helpful, but probably suggests it's not from a game, no:

Listening to it again, it sounds like it's sampled from the tv-show above, so yeah, not really helpful.

Nope, it just sounds like GF to me.

An obvious reference to Valve.
So, what awaits us on Tuesday? Could it be then... OMG a Steam-like client with friends and achievements and stuff?!

Yeah, I'm guessing it's from some kind of sound bank. Generic jazzy tune #378.

;) Hitting Valve between the legs!? "You do realize this means war!?" Boy, I DO love a good fight!

Edit:
Crap! This was my first post! Hi everybody!!!

Clearly that video suggests that, upon Tuesday 27th May 2012 GOG troops armed with the latest in medieval period armour and weapons will lay epic siege to the Steam services in a desperate bid to take forceful control and break the crippling hold of Dr.M. over Steam itself.

What did you find?

Soundhound was of no help, depending on when I stopped (just after the keyboard clatter started or just before) it gave two different alternatives, both quite wrong:
不倒翁(Bu Dao Weng/Tumbler) by 吳克群(Wu Ke Qun/Kenji Wu)
<i>Love In</i> by <i>Nicola Conte</i>

My thoughts were exactly Grim Fandango too, but I doubt it's a hint...
