Day 3's winner was Postal 2 Complete. A well-deserved victory, Postal 2 was awesome (the add-on less so, but that's only because you couldn't be a goddamn pansy-ass pacifist).
A combination of Strong pound, money not used in other areas so much, a lot of money saved by commuting at uni, and getting most things when they are on sale.
Once this GOG sale ends I should a break. It's not as if I'm short of materials...
Play the Feeble files.I have no idea why it has such mixed reviews on the site. It's so good. Don't know about the English version though. This is one of the few games that has a really good German version.
The problem I have with The Feeble Files (which I own on disc, so nya) is that the puzzles can be rather random. A good example is
having to constantly use a broken vending machine so you get angry and hit it, which means your character feels the need to confess his 'sin', which allows you to enter a previously inaccessible confession booth.
Not a terrible game, but there's too many puzzles like that for me to really get into it.

The main problem I have with the game is a certain arcade machine. But it also has Robert Llewellyn voicing the Feeble so that's a big plus!
So, today on GOG, the releases are from some unknown adventure game developer called Telltale Games. They've got the first and second seasons of Sam and Max, as well as Tales of Monkey Island. All come with the usual extras, including the soundtracks for Sam and Max... and we don't get those?
As far as I'm aware, this is the only way to buy the Seasons 1 and 2 soundtacks at this time. That makes these very much worth the glance, because the soundtracks for Seasons 1 and 2 are of amazing quality. Not only is the in-game music excellent, and not only is the music in the soundtrack not somewhat overly compressed like it is in-game, but the arrangements for the soundtrack are actually different than the ones in-game! They're actually arranged to be listened to, and they're actually really really nice.
That's business. TellTale's got to have perks for those who bought directly from them, otherwise a lot of people would use just Steam (and GOG with the new announcement) instead - which means a sales cut.

Yeah, it'd be cool if we could get digital versions of all the soundtracks and developer commentaries on here as well. I have all the dvd's and soundtracks Telltale ever released, but it'd be nice to have digital versions as well (especially for those games that never got a physical dvd/soundtrack release). They did it for Jurassic Park, so maybe other games will have that as well in the future?
Also, a question for anyone from Telltale who might be reading this: some months ago Dan Conners was talking about a big redesign for the Telltale website. Is this still planned? I half-assumed the update to bring stuff like a better organized 'my games'-page, with a section for soundtracks and commentaries and maybe even an achievement-system (although that last one might be a bit unnecessary for a company focused on story games).

Day 10 : Syberia vs The Longest Journey
As for who I want to win... my placing of Syberia in the Games That SHOULD Be Forgotten thread is a minor clue.
