The End Might be Near*. Better Play Some Games!

We don't really know if the Mayans were right
Will the 21st be the Earth's final night?
If it really is, we know we'd want to be
Spending our last hours enjoyably

The end of the world, and the bundles we bring
Are a wondrous package--an incredible thing
All the daily deals for the whole month today shine
We've even brought ones from the future in asynchronous time

Of all of the days of the year 2012
This is the one for gamers just like yourselves
To pick up some games before the world ends
And spend your last day having fun times with friends

Some say the world ends in fire--or ice
We think that neither ending sounds nice
If the world has to end--neither frozen nor flaming
The world should end in a way that says: gaming!

There's and [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/the_witcher_2]Witcher, and and [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/duke_nukem_3d_atomic_edition]Duke
And Deus Ex, , or [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/thief_gold]Thief
So before the world leaders launch thousands of nukes
Spend a few moments and suspend disbelief

Theme Hospital, , [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/caesar_3]Caesar 3 and Trine
It sure was nice living, but we're just out of time
Ultima Games, from 1 to game 9
The aliens are invading--we must hold the line!

, [url=https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/wing_commander_1_2]Wing Commander, and indie FTL
Crusaders and Heroes of Magic and Might
The end is approaching boys; see you in hell
Bruce Willis can't save us from this meteorite

Quests for Kings and for Space and for Heroes and Glory
and [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/telltale_adventures]Telltale
The abyss is erupting--this will surely be gory
Frogs are raining down in amphibious hail

The world may be ending, our last day is nigh
So take this last chance to play games 'till you die!


*GOG.com in no way endorses The End of The World. We like it here. If you have a Death Star, a Death Ray, or a fleet of Cyber T-rexes with Lasers, please don't destroy the Earth right now. At least wait until we release that game that everyone's waiting for. And that one, too. No, that one probably will never happen.

mrking58: I hope the afterlife has some-type of internet connection, so I can finish this backlog

kalirion: Heaven: 100gbps fiber-optic, streams nothing but The Sound of Music
Hell: download anything you like with 2.4 baud dial-up through NetZero, limited to 1 hour a day
Hey the sound of music is an awesome film. Shame I'm going to hell

Oh god (or GOG?) that's a lot of sales. I don't know if I'll be able to contain the urge to hoard games...

yyahoo: When I made my purchase, somehow I was not charged the correct price, significantly less. Who do I contact to get this straightened out?

TheEnigmaticT: I'd call it our holiday gift to you; it's not your fault we fat-fingered the wrong price into our website backend tool.
And my holiday gift was getting the fat finger shoved in my face. When I added that (RPG) bundle to my cart, two of the games were "free." Then it got fixed and the total jumped to almost $24. No thanks. Bundles suck, and bundles that cost $20+ really suck.

Austrobogulator: Just putting it out there, but 75%/50% sales actively make me steer away. I don't want to pay to have a bunch of games I have no interest in/ have elsewhere.

kalirion: Exactly.

Two good ones which are "Pick & Mix":


http://www.gog.com/promo/telltale_adventures (repeat of a pre-holiday promo, but still great)
http://www.gog.com/promo/scandinavian_games
Uh, those both are Pick and Mix, deselecting the games you don't want does not remove the 80%/75% discount they're promoting.

edit: Sorry, didn't realize you were just pointing out the fact, not the guy who said the title of those deals were misleading.

Choices, choices, choices. It seems that my wallet is going to die 2 days before I do. Thanks GOG.

$1.49 for M&M IX.

The only one i dont own on GoG.com, but can i justify that for what is an abortion of a game...
Posted December 19, 2012
Very nice of GOG to tell us which games will be reduced by 75% and which will not. This is excellent for those of us wanting to complete our wishlist.
Posted December 19, 2012
This might have been mentioned even in this thread but is there any game that isn't discounted yet or at 50% or less that might become at 50% or more before the Christmas sale is over?

ironklad: An end of the world sale and no fallout package? for shame, i shall also buy things in protest
I was hoping for a Fallout bundle too. Maybe they'll have one on the 22nd to celebrate the post-apocalypse? *crosses fingers*

Great sale GOG. Just bought 30 games myself (more if you count the ones with multiple games in them).

Hope that the other promo involves Stronghold, Lands of Lore, Nox, Zork, or Descent in some way :).

Thanks again.

Well done, GOG! IMy finances are taking a hit today!!!

Out of curiosity, how many games do people have in their carts?

Just trying to gauge how sane I am. :)

none (yet, I might get M&M IX just so I have the full set)

I can't agree more with so many other people.

I am SO disappointed that it was ONLY an amazing sale that I MAY have bought "a few" things and MAY have ended up spending only "a little" bit of money on. It's not like it was THAT big of a deal.

Hold up, where did all my money go?

Almost all in the promos that I don't already have. That is, uhm, 13.
Yes, I'm (in)sane.
