I wouldn't click on THIS LINK, just yet, but the latest version of the GOG.com Members' Wishlist is already available.
No, really... Do not click on the link. You will regret it if you do. Most of you don't know me well enough to take my word for it, but I'm telling you, trust me on this.
But you've already gone and clicked on the link, haven't you? You've gone and clicked on it, even though I told you not to, and you are probably one of those people who try setting up their electronic equipment without reading the directions, first. Only after having partially assembled an expensive and extremely fragile piece of equipment--and finding that you have half as many screws as you were expecting--do you begin searching for the instruction manual, during which time your three year-old has already began disassembling afore-mentioned piece of equipment with the dog's much sturdier chew-toy.
Now, you are probably wondering why I would write this post in the first place and include the above link. Why would I do such a cruel and inhumane thing to countless individuals? What you should be wondering, instead, is how long it will take before various forum-goers begin replying to this posting with titles of games they want to see here on GOG.com.
You see, this posting is actually a psychological experiment. You might have figured that part out early on, but you are still reading this posting out of morbid curiosity. What could this experiment possibly be about? I could just spoil it all for you and tell you that I am recording the number of posts it takes before someone replies with "PENIS!" but that would be disingenuous, and the results would be much less entertaining. Besides, as with all good psych experiments, the test subjects are not clued in on what is actually being tested until after the test has been completed. Otherwise, they have a tendency to skew the results and render the data worthless.
Suffice it to say that all will be explained. Later.
In the meantime, have a picture!
