CarrionCrow: Okay. I'm here to help. (Disregard the shaking, giggling and talking to myself. It's the coffee. Honest.)
Step one - Know your budget. Games are wonderful, wonderful things. But you can't eat them. <snip>
Someday it will be possible to eat them.

IAmSinistar: Maybe it's because I already own most of the games, but this sale seems, well, dull now. I've been spoiled by GOG's more engaging sales, I suppose, since sales aren't necessarily required to be enduringly entertaining across their entire run.
I am afraid its all down hill for you in terms of new games on the promo IAmSinistar. Since you have already bought most of the catalog from all the previous promos. Furthermore, you've seen every promo format GOG could come up with, so there is no surprise in that department either. Next thing we know you'll also be creating a I'm bored thread here. ;)

There is a decent chance today will be the last few new Flash sales to go with the last new bundles, which obviously will make this a bit boring the rest of the way.

We can hope for a flash reset and second set of bundles to keep it interesting, but if not, this is almost the end of anything new.

Excuse me, Sinistar, is your GOGwiki wishlist up to date?

Stilton: Oh-oh... danger time...

Up until now I've been very controlled, very restrained, mindful of the finances and have chosen only the games that feel justifiable purchases for some reason or other. But now I've hit that point that come along in every sale where I'm less of all the above and I just want to buy everything in sight.

I need help, please, counselling, sensitive and thoughtful aid from those around me who have suffered through the same problem and overcome it.

If ever I needed to feel a part of this community, its is now......

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPP!!!!!!!

Step one - Know your budget. Games are wonderful, wonderful things. But you can't eat them.
Step two - Prioritize. If there's something that calls out to you beyond all others, odds are it'll be worth the coin. If it's a general cacophony of "wouldn't you love to have ALL OF US on your shelf at once?", then think of gaps you might have in your collection. I just bought Sim City 4 and 2000 because they fill genre gaps that were missing in my stockpile.
Step three - Consider the future. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and nothing sucks more than your cash hitting its limit well before the last day is done. More stuff is coming. Always have to keep that in mind as well.
Step four - Disregard everything I just said and go nuts until you're eating ramen noodles in a blissful game-induced stupor for the next week or two.

Did that help? ;-D

niky45: just one word: BACKLOG. if you think you have enough, you know deep inside that you don't need more games *right now*. else... man, if you don't have a huge backlog, you definitely need more games!!!

(that's what I'm telling myself.... that sim bundle is staring at me for too long )
I am that rare thing - a humbled Viking, for I am truly amongst friends.

I used to freak out about my backlog. Then one day I had an epiphany and I started to call it a collection.

Seconding that. Also, the sentence "I am collecting the crap out of some games during this sale!" is a lot of fun to say.

I don't, but it's still dull. If you close the front page, it's so quite in here that it feels just like any other day, nth is happening...

We can always hope that tomorrow will start with some new flash sale games and some new bundles. At least the current bundles are not here until the end of the sale like the last summer sale. They have the same 24 hour timers as the others, So with a week to go, it's possible a new batch of games will appear. Although it's not guaranteed, GOG does like to tease us. :-)

Have there been any games that caught your big blue eye so far in the current half of the sale?
