Get Bio Menace FREE, and up to 75% off Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Quake, and DOOM.

Happy Holidays from the GOG.com team!
The holiday season is here. The world, in all its little shopping frenzies and chaotic reunions, seems to slow down just a little. It slows to taste the crisp winter air, to be childishly entranced by all the lights and colors.

As for us, we're going to celebrate with a little something special.
With a new free game in our catalog: <span class="bold">Bio Menace</span>, something of a mix between the smooth and joyous gameplay of Commander Keen, and the alien weirdness of the original Duke Nukem platformers. The spacey 2D shooter by 3D Realms is now part of our selection of free, truly worth playing, classics.

With a Happy Holiday Sale from GOG.com & Bethesda:
Have a holly, jolly discount. It's the best time of the year. We don't know if there will be snow, but have a cup of deal. It's <span class="bold">up to 75% off the entire Bethesda catalog</span> on GOG.com - including the three and only classic Fallout games, as well as some of the best shooters in history: the retro Wolfenstein 3D & Return to Castle duo, The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II & Final DOOM alongside the Quake series (from the singleplayer gory of Quake + Quake II, through the timeless mutliplayer mayhem of Quake III). Finally, there's the chance to explore the history of The Elder Scrolls with classics like Morrowind, Battlespire, and Redguard.

As always, any purchase from the Bethesda catalog on GOG.com comes with a free copy of The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall!

Looking for last-minute gifts? There ya' go.
The sale will last until December 29, 4:59 AM GMT.


Have a happy holiday season!

What times we're living, when saying 'Merry Chritmas' is now incorrect? Oh, because someone could have felt offended! Seriously? o_O

Merry Christmas, dammit!

Okay, GOG and Bethesda. Only just recently managed to get my wallet's bleeding to stop from all the sales. Already have everything here, what's coming to make me crack it open again?

deonast: No alternative but to drink in moderation I guess.
That's no alternative!

One day I went to the doctor and was told not to eat fatty food, so I stopped going to the burger.
One day I went to the doctor and was told not to smoke, so I stopped smoking.
One day I went to the doctor and was told not to drink alcohol, so I stopped going to the doctor.

IwubCheeze: Okay GOG,

The winter promo had the Star Wars blaster bundle which knocked my primary wishlist down to two games
The Team 17 promo had the WWP remaster which brought my primary wishlist down to one game
Now with this promo, I bought RTCW which brings my primary wishlist down to ZERO GAMES!!!!

ZERO!!!!!!!

let me repeat that

ZERO!!!!!!

and once more

ZERO!!!!!

Seriously, how did you guys know about all the games on my primary wishlist, cos this is really fricken creepy......
I think you need to buy another game from your primary wishlist so you can get the count down to negative one (-1).

Great deals on some great games - I might have to bite on some Quake action.

Also, strange I just recieved an email from GOG that says Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project and Balls of Steel are on sale, even though they are clearly still full price, and not part of any of the current sales.

It's okay to say Merry Christmas, but lots of folks celebrate lots of holidays, especially the users of this service.

I'm a Christian and I'm okay with someone telling me Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza or any other holiday. It's a joyous outpouring, and that's okay.

Every year, someone in the forums complains that GOG doesn't say "Merry Christmas." I don't think their intention is to insult anyone, but merely to be inclusive.

I'm confident that many GOG staff members would love to tell you Merry Christmas. And in many locales, it's very comfortable for people to say "Merry Christmas" to everyone. And some places, "Happy Hanukkah" or "Kul 'am wa enta bi-khair!"

I don't think GOG is attempting to participate on a war against Christians or Christmas. They're likely enjoying the holiday seasons (New Years and Christmas are mostly celebrated in Poland, I'd imagine) and they're throwing out a seasonal greeting to everyone.

If you want to spread holiday cheer, feel free to say "Merry Christmas!" Most folks worth paying attention to won't be uncomfortable or intolerant, and probably return the same friendly greeting.

So are there any multiplayer servers still available for Quake 3 Arena?
Posted December 21, 2015
I won`t marry Christmas, I don`t even know her!
Posted December 21, 2015
Uauuu, thank you GOG & Bethesda. This was really a nice surprise. Merry Xmas to you too!

Again GOG makes me buy games. Now I just bought Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. I can't wait to play them. When I'm done I'll buy UnderRail someday.

I'm sure someone would have complained had they said "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays". I like complaining about people who complain about such things so either way is fine with me.

So. Would someone who finds Skyrim irritating and Oblivion boring be able to enjoy Morrowind? Hard to tell whether Morrowind praise is based on nostalgia more than anything.

[cop stands next to P1na, writing him a ticket]
"Do you know why you're being ticketed, sir?"
"...No, officer..."
"You totally botched the first line of that joke. You pretty much spoiled the punchline before you even got to it. 'So I stopped going to the burger'? That doesn't even make sense."
"I'm...sorry, officer...I...I didn't realize...."
[tears off ticket, hands it to P1na]
"Just make sure it doesn't happen again. Somebody could've been seriously hurt by such reckless joke-telling."
[cop turns and starts walking away; P1na flips her off]
"I saw that."

Well, I loved Oblivion and Skyrim, but did never really get into Morrowind. But I`m willing to give it another shot.
A thing that confuses me is that the skill levels are bound to your attributes (Strenght?, dexterity and so on) and character levels are bound to skill levels. You can only level up your character after levelling your main skills up ten times. But a skill can`t be higher than the corresponding attribute. It`s really very confusing.
