I gotta say, if it weren't for GOG.com faking their demise and somebody on TV Tropes noting people of it, I wouldn't have heard about it. So, mission accomplished, in at least one case.
"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"The only really dickish part of this is GOG not having warned its users about the impending downtime.
My latest liveblog.Summary of the three "GoG Revival" chapter videos:
"Hey, we're sorry about what we did, sort of. Now take a look at our bitchin' new site."
said bitchin' new site is displayed.
"Now check this shit out, we've got BALDUR'S GATE!"
Anything else you'd like to add?
"NOPE BALDUR'S GATE."
also JENRURS!

They're offering free games or some crap like that.
I don't know exactly since THE REGISTRATION WON'T FREAKING FINISH.
EDIT: Never mind, there's only like three free games and none of them look worth it at all.
EDIT 2: Actually, they got Beneath A Steel Sky. That's probably worth a download. Heck, I'll probably end up downloading all 3.

Lure of the Temptress and Teenagent. All 3 are, I believe, point-and-click adventure games. I'm sure they're all right, but Steel Sky looks the best of the 3.

And has been free for ages.
Yeah, I figured as much. I knew it was too good to be true.
Yeah, I got that from the SCUMM VC site ages ago. (I recommend a visit)
DumboI really need to download Beneath A Steel Sky. Point-and-click adventure game from the early 90s with a dystopian bent, with artwork by the man who co-created Watchmen?
Heck yes.
Can't say I'm impressed by the redesign. Still feels very much like the old GOG and the new functionalities don't look interesting at all to me.
You won't see me nerdraeging but it's certainly a disappointment overall.
How dare you! I'll never buy another thing from y— Ooooh! Fallout 2!
Jonah FalconJust registered with GOG for the first time, and I got 3 free games - one of them is Beneath A Steel Sky.
Jonah FalconThat's been there since before the... reboot, or whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, they've been there since the beginning. I also got Tex Murphy 1 & 2 free from GOG.
Wizard Needs Food BadlyAnd now they have Planescape Torment.
Torment liveblog is still hiatusing. You can vandalize my contributor page if you want something to do.PLANESCAPE. FUCKING. TORMENT.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The highlight is still Master Of Magic.
Jonah Falcon- bought* (Yes, i already own it)
say, first Baudler's Gate, the Planescape: Torment...should we be expecting BG 2 and the Icewind Dale series in the near future?
XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!^ Most likely. Planescape Torment is definitely the highlight though, and not just because I'm a superfanboy: all the other games already had plenty of retail releases and were easily trackable, Torment.. well, good luck finding that.
I have Torment on disc. :)
Jonah Falcon
Which is probably what most people are mad about.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!
