And then the page lags, and then it says "refresh promo" and then you refresh, and suddenly the store is back to how it normally looks? And you haven't been on the website in over a month, so you're up to snuff with all the deals that it has and whatnot?

I have. It was a very confusing experience.

What was the sale, anyway? I didn't see it for very long...

You just witnessed the end of the fall sale.

No but we used to have someone here who showed up exactly 24 hours after a sale ended, for EVERY SALE!!! :P

Who was that exactly? Now I'm curious...

Not every game was discounted ("only" 800)

Don't worry the XMas sale will be in around 5 weeks time, and it will be bigger.

It happened pretty often.

During the Insomnia promo.

Hmm I see the insomnia promo's doing much better with the wallet in place, since you don't have to worry about external payment options before the time runs out, that and more of the money actually goes towards devs and gog and less to paypal or the other payment systems...

Usually I miss the free game at the start.

Dammit it happened to me too. Felt like playing a FPS out of nowhere, and I was really looking forward to getting the older Medal of Honor war chest tonight. But alas...

Even if you did have time to read everything and click to buy with 12 seconds to spare, that is no guarantee of success..... because of the 'computer delay syndrome'.

Its the same kind of idiocy that gets teenagers and husbands caught looking at pornography!

You know how it goes.... Yes you are prepared, you have standby material ready to pretend to be looking at, yes you hear them coming, no problem, yes you click on scroll down/up or close window in good time.

Then it happens.... computer delay syndrome! Even though you have clicked on close in good time, it does not immediately close, wtf!!! your life flashes before your eyes as you sit there in helpless bewilderment right before getting caught!

You have clicked on close.... what exactly the computer is doing by not immediately closing like it normally always does is one of the mysteries of the universe??

Why it does that? why why why?

Hahahahaha

Hey guys! Is the sale still on? I just found $100 in my coat pocket shoved inside my lucky box of Tic-Tacs for safe keeping and....it's still on, right? Right? ........right....?

Not quite. His line was always that he just got back in town or his internet was down and now he needed someone to buy him all of the games he wanted that were previously on sale. It got so you could set your clock by the guy. :P

I can haz Witcher 3?
I can totally pay you back once that payment from my rich uncle in Nigeria comes in.

I missed the sale? But I really wanted <insert title here>. Can someone gift it to me?

Fixed it.
