Indeed, I never seem to get picked for this stuff. I think I've only ever been picked for one beta.

avatar_58 · 09-08-2008, 09:54 PM

They are being handed out in groups, so over the next few days they'll probably get to us.

boglito · 09-09-2008, 09:45 AM

Do we have confirmation that anybody got their email yet?

ZuljinRaynor · 09-09-2008, 10:03 AM

Does anyone know what the email will be from? I want to make sure it doesn't get flushed into spam.

That's where my original email came from. I presume the next email will come from the same place.

I will definately get one just to test. Not sure which one, though. I remember wanting to play MDK intensely back in the day, but my rig couldn't handle it... Hmm...

If you buy an Interplay title you get one free apparently.

As I understand it the game you buy doesn't need to be Interplay, but the game you get for free must be.

avatar_58 · 09-09-2008, 01:55 PM

Ah. I just want an email so I can buy *something* to see how it works.

boglito · 09-09-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm with you.

*checks email*

Dang.

avatar_58 · 09-09-2008, 02:01 PM

I think it's sent once a day. So we'll have to cross our fingers and check tomorrow.

ZaphodB · 09-09-2008, 02:04 PM

I want my GOG E-Mail!!!!!!!!!!

alexgk · 09-09-2008, 05:19 PM

Fallout series looks tempting...

peoplessi · 09-09-2008, 06:02 PM

I will buy Kingpin. The rest I have played already or own already.

Superczar · 09-09-2008, 06:41 PM

SHOGO is tops on my list, and I think I need something for the Redneck Rampage series, an expansion I think, hopefully it will be a good package. Operation Flashpoint is what caught my eye though at first.

Phayzon · 09-09-2008, 07:03 PM

Wow thats a steal on the Descent series. For sure I'll buy them

and Redneck Rampage

ZuljinRaynor · 09-10-2008, 08:37 AM

Mountain Man · 09-10-2008, 09:12 AM

Got my invite. Fallout 2 for $5.99 is very tempting, especially given the reputation that game has, but I don't know when I'd find time to play it. I've got a huge backlog of games at the moment, and I'm heading to night school in a few weeks which'll mean even less free time. Decisions decisions.

avatar_58 · 09-10-2008, 09:17 AM

ZaphodB · 09-10-2008, 09:28 AM

Thinking of Descent 1 & 2, have the disks, but can't get them to run on XP. I have decent3, but didn't know there was an expansion for it. Oh and I can't wait for the Redneck Rampage. Quite a few of these games I have.

Micki! · 09-10-2008, 09:47 AM

Ohhh Shogo, guess i'll get it there...

...Once i can freaking access the website..!

Vroomfondel · 09-10-2008, 11:05 AM

Just bought Giants, but I can't download it, I get an error (403 - Forbidden).

Oh well, I'm sure they'll fix that. I wonder what free game I should choose

go to the community there, there's a thread about it (think a fix too)

Kristian Joensen · 09-10-2008, 11:30 AM

I got the email now. YAY. Will go check out the site.

Vroomfondel · 09-10-2008, 11:31 AM

Yeah I saw it, but it didn't work for me. However, I used a solution that was suggested by people to get Youtube to work properly locally, and now it's downloading

Duke's still sold by 3DR (and the 2d games *are* downloadable) so there wouldn't be much of a point.

peoplessi · 09-10-2008, 11:44 AM

Works great, I just bought Giants: Citizen Kabuto and got Kingpin: Life of Crime for free. It's a pity I own almost all of these games that are there, or have played them thru.

Amakou · 09-10-2008, 12:02 PM

Got mine.

~Amakou~

Vroomfondel · 09-10-2008, 12:09 PM

The hi-res wallpapers are a nice bonus.

CommanderZx2 · 09-10-2008, 12:40 PM

I was looking forward to getting Giants: Citizen Kabuto until I discovered it's the American censored version.
Edit, I have found a fix :P

peoplessi · 09-10-2008, 12:49 PM

I'm impressed at how well the site is made. Everything works, and looks perfect. Shopping is easy, I hope they manage to bring more games to the selection. Also, maybe giving a possibility to download as torrent.
