Join us in Cologne on Thursday, August 14!

[url=http://www.gamescom-cologne.com" target="_blank]GamesCom Cologne[/url] is the biggest European games industry show and we know that many of you will be attending. We'd love to take this chance to meet you! Alas, we think that the middle of a busy trade show is not the best place to hang out with you, dear Goggers. We'd like to meet you in a more friendly venue and spend some time chatting, sharing a few beers, and playing some games in a relaxed atmosphere of a gamer-friendly pub. So, we'd like to heartily invite you to the GOG.com Party that will be taking place on Thursday, August 14, from 5:00PM to 10:00PM local time, in one of the local pubs not far from where the GamesCom main show will be located.

We've got 70 open spots. To reserve yours, contact us at [url=mailto:party@gog.com]party@gog.com[/url] and give us your full name and the GOG.com username (or usernames, if you're bringing a friend) and the time we can expect your arrival. We'll ask you to RSVP before the event, to make sure you didn't change your mind about attending. We'll let you know if you made the main guest list. If you're late to register, we'll get your name on our backup list and contact you if a spot opens on the main one.

We have some cool activities planned for you! You'll be able to play some games in our NVidia-powered GOG arcade. We've got lots of GOG goodies to give away. There'll be prizes to win in contests. Beer and soft drinks will be waiting at the bar for all of our guests! A big chunk of GOG.com Team is going to be there, and we look forward to meeting you all in person. If you know you'll be attending, please also drop a note here in the forums below, so all other Goggers will know they'll get to hang out with you! Also, feel free to make suggestions as to what would you like to see in the GOG.com Party.

This invitation will be updated with new details as we get closer to GamesCom, so make sure to drop by every now and then! Bottom line: party with GOG.com at GamesCom, Thursday, August 14, 5:00PM-10:00PM. Great fun, free beer, GOG goodies for our guests. 70 open spots, reserve yours at [url=mailto:party@gog.com]party@gog.com[/url].

bioshark: Nice idea.

Reservation made... now I just have to wait to see if I make the list. :)
You did :-)

We'll send you notifications that you've made the list tomorrow! The list won't fill up entirely by then, probably.

EDIT:

By the way, I'm going to be there! I'm really looking forward to meeting in person those of you who can make it! I'll make sure we'll have some golden classics to play, and plenty of topics to chat about :-)

flanner: [...]

nothing for good OLD gamers, i suppose
On the contrary! We'll be playing some classic PC games. :-) I'm doing my best to procure some old-school PC controllers to go with them.

Blackbot: Is it still possible to send a mail? My provider informed that the Mail couldn't be delivered and I'm unsure why.
Yes it is! We've had some server problems but the address should now be active again.

There are still some free spots on the lists, and I'll be sending you confirmations on Monday.

Thank you for signing up, I look forward to meeting you all!

nicode: The reply wasn't for me, but I still have no reply to my email from Wednesday.
How long should I wait before sending the next ?-)
Yes, sorry about that. No confirmations were sent at all, to anyone at this point. We've had some server issues. I'll get back to you all via e-mail come this Monday.

Piranjade: I making a list of all the games that interest me. So it can be one game that costs $9.99 or less. Games being brougt down to that price by a sale don't count.
Hmmm...
I'm mainly torn between BlazBlue Calamaty Trigger which was a lot of fun yesterday and Crystal Caves which I found very addicting and entertaining way-back-then.

ShadowOwl: I'm waiting for Crawl to be released.

Also: Judas, where have you been?
At home? :D

ShadowOwl: Hah, just edited my post to ask the same. Should have been asking some staff member at the event but sadly I didn't :/
Very soon is the answer :-) By the end of this month.

THANK YOU for an awesome party. I will make a separate post to express my feelings properly as soon as we get all the pictures and video footage to go with it.

tfishell: Excellent! Just to be clear, we are talking about the original game, right? (Not Cascadia's remake?)

I hope the GOG staff got a chance to talk to various publishers at Gamescom!
Yes to both! :-D

Rinu: Hi!

I would like to join in my thanks. The party was a highlight of the trip to Cologne and I really liked how you also spread PC stations all over the pub, so if usual awkward moments of brooding at bar didn't have a chance to happen :).

Atmosphere, GOG staff, selection of games, food, kölsch, presents, everything was great. I would have never played a game like Crawl, so it was ideal - especially for a party. It was enjoyable to try figuring out with my friends how the game works and eventually just waiting for the chance to take a control in hands again, lol. I have hard time imagine how single-player mode would work, though.

Thank you for the invitation.

By the way, thanks Judas for standing up for localisations so vehemently ;).

tama-chan: Don't worry if you didn't get a VIP pass for Witcher 3. They were only "valid" until Friday morning anyway, or at least that's what we've been told.

Rinu: I used the VIP pass on Saturday evening and didn't have any problems. Just developers/presenters looked exhausted from all that presenting :D.
It was visibly inspired by Skyrim and Tomb Raider and I liked the visual and gameplay result. Impressive presentation and impressive demonstration how high a small Polish company has risen.
You're welcome but could I ask for the context? :D (Marketing was talking smack about me behind my back, eh? :P I see how they are :P Kidding, of course! :) )
