Yeah, me too... :-(
Actually didn’t see it in the Fan Posts until too late. Bummer…
If your wings don't sweep....
Maybe I need to be more clear about the whole "entry for each set of games" concept?
j/k ;-)
1/x doesn't die, it just fades away.
LOL Yeah, maybe so...
Just came on to find the Kansas GOG and was like, “Crap, two at a time this year”…
On the other hand, if I didn’t fill out a form, no one can see how bad I am at this! :-)
If your wings don't sweep....
Maybe
We can get Glenn to post them to the front page if they’re for groups of games….

I can post them to the front page
But I’m generally reluctant to do so because they aren’t really news or commentary. One thing I will do though is try to give a schedule for the next few GOGs so that everyone can know in advance how the games will be grouped together.
1/x doesn't die, it just fades away.
Agreed
Yep. This whole one GOG a week is throwing me for a loop. Already out for the first week….
