1. We've got games your 10-year-old won't be better at. GOG.com offers you critically acclaimed games from major publishers in every genre. Don't let your kids mock the graphics; remind them that the classics never go out of style, unlike their totally wicked haircut.

2. So you're cheap. It's okay--we are, too. For less than the cost of a lunch at some lousy diner you can own some of the greatest games of all time. No matter how big the file is and how successful the game was, you'll leave the table satisfied that you got a great deal for your money. As an added bonus, our house specialities won't make you sick.

3. You buy it, you keep it. Don't let your DRMs turn into nightmares (clever, no?). You won't find any intrusive copy protection in our games; we hate draconian DRM schemes just as much as you do, so at GOG.com you don't just buy the game, you actually own it. Once you download a game, you can install it on any PC and re-download it whenever you want, as many times as you need, and you can play it without an internet connection.

4. All games are Vista and XP compatible.


The list goes on.

So while you guys are sitting in front of ads for the US Army, I'm just going to go ahead and spend the six bucks to play through Fallout. And then twelve more bucks for Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and then Citizen Kabuto. I already own Freespace 2, but you know, it doesn't install right for me, and while it may be a Vista thing, I'm pretty sure it's that the CDs are scratched to Hell. So yeah, this place has already cost me thirty bucks.

And while these games are definitely going into torrents everywhere, c'mon, don't be a jerk. They've fixed 'em and everything.

And you nettop and Linux people? Time for some Wine-love.
