New finds on GOG - I love this site!

I wander over from time to time to see what goodies I'm missing, and this morning I found both Phantasmagoria games, The Journeyman Project 2, a double-pack with both Betrayal at Krondor and Betrayal at Antara, and Unreal Tournament 2004.  And that's just before I reached my self-given birthday budget.  Sheesh.

Nice!

Weldon, have you watched Spoony's LP of Phantasmagoria 2?

[kindofdoon]

UT2004? It's not that "old" yet...

[wilco64256]

They actually seem to have some games that have only come out in the last 2-3 years or so but aren't normally workable under Windows Vista or Win7.

[kindofdoon]

So the games didn't work with the operating systems that existed when they were released? That doesn't make sense...

[wilco64256]

They also have the ENTIRE Descent series, this is NOT ok.

Phantasmagoria... ah the memories... Love at first sight

[kindofdoon]

I watched a few cutscenes from it...

I don't think I'll ever play it.

Why?

Because I'm spending more than I should

[FFL2and3rocks]

Haha, I know the feeling. I've bought quite a few games recently, so I'm afraid to spend any more money at the moment, even for cheap games.  Plus I already have a bunch of games that I haven't beaten yet, and I want to finish at least most of those before getting more. Icewind Dale looks pretty good.

I already have Betrayal at Krondor, but someday I need to beat it WITHOUT using some sort of money trick. It's a great game, but being unable to grind for stats/money annoys me since I'm always worried that I'll end up in a situation where I'm too weak to beat an enemy that I need to fight and won't be able to do anything about it. Especially with Patrus's party.

I also have Antara but my CD crashes a lot. It's a common problem apparently, but if the GOG release doesn't do that, maybe I'll buy it anyway.

I thought all math teachers had disposable income. 

Joking aside, I say you should indulge. What are credit cards for if not for spending money that you don't have? 

[wilco64256]

Yeah I indulged, bought like 6 things today - it's hard not to when they're all less than 10 bucks.

What are credit cards for? Getting you into debt that takes forever to get out of At least, that's what I'm told...we don't use credit cards

Neither do I. I'm just kidding. I don't like to buy anything unless I have enough money to do so. Credit cards just cause problems. The credit card businesses are designed to get their consumers to slip-up so they can make money off of them. Doesn't sound appealing to me.

[wilco64256]

Yeah I paid cash for them, in exchange I'll ride my bike to and from work for a few days to save on gas but that's good in general.

[koko_99_2001]

Great compromise, Weldon

And Fierce, I tend to joke Most the time, don't worry about taking me completely seriously

Duly noted!

Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition is now available on GOG! I never thought they would released it this soon. It doesn't include all the premium modules however

It includes a couple and I think you can still download the others.  I picked this one up off their site today and played for a while during lunch
