heh heh

cheers guys!

my GOD, i'm such a sensitive old sod!!:)

nah, it's all good.
one of the reasons why i wanted to sign up anyway was the drm free aspect, and i'm getting more involved in puzzle-related games since buying this pc 3 weeks ago.

funny really, i spent my youth on platform puzzlers on the c16/speccy/c64, then got bitten by the 3d fps stuff. now i see all these classy point and click titles and i'm like, "ahh, home at last!!"

There we go, trial by fire completed. Welcome to GOG! :D

Guys I heard Origin is the devil is this true?

Ha, my infinite +1 "GOG is no longer releasing old games" (came in the recent rule revision) will shatter your puny shield!

It was a "preemptive strike". No one in this thread can now complain about the promo being to short, etc. Would the OP complained if I hadn't posted this? We will never know. But considering the recent developments here, it certainly wouldn't have surprised me.

Honestly, I don't really care either way....

it's ok, simon, really..

have a cup of tea, put yer feet up, relax!!:)

it doesn't matter anymore.:)

Well I don't know about Origin, but I sure as hell know SimonG is the devil, or at least some form of lesser demon. He might even control an army, as you can see he's got +1 gog. I wonder if he upgrades them to +3 magogs with fireball on impact.

Errr, anyway, Origin is ... Let's sey unproved as it is. Noone really knows what kind of issues could come with it, and of course everyone is demonizing it, that's just what people do when a new guy arrives.

oh P.S. you can mark a post as the solution to your problem (for instance Rodzaju's post on the first page) - the net effect is that people know the query has been solved and the solver gets +5 forum rep - and no I'm not making an RPG allusion! :P You actually get forum rep (not that it means anything, but it's a +5 for solving problems :P)

Great. Now I'm hungry.... again.

And I'm neither a devil nor a lesser demon. I'm a horse with a sword on its head (But not a unicorn)!

You're a lawyer. You've got to be either from the lower planes, or from the space (depending on the universe you're from. This is the point where it gets kind of complicated.)

I put on my robe and my +5 wizard hat of "Why no expansions to EA games?"

petertron74: i've registered with gog already, but i see no free download link for the game. it says 'buy game for $5.99'.

i don't understand.

can anyone advise?

baz.
It's Easter weekend. They aren't there to remove the "free thing". Also, welcome to GOG!

But I'm one of the good ones. You know, the ones that save the world from evil, evil people (like jaywalkers or grandmas that accidently clicked the wrong link on the internet)
