Dr.M. has stolen our marketing plans, taken our game masters, absconded with our video trailers, and pilfered our contracts! Coala suggests that we should track down the evil Dr., but how in the world can we do that? We know that he has our "Get HUGE" formula, and we suspect that Dr. M. is going to the headquarters of our next publisher--and we know it's one of the five we've already mentioned in our CDP Days Conference this Spring. One of our clever developer guys pointed out that the only way that Dr. M. could have found GOG's secret headquarters (as opposed to our regular, non-secret one) would be to have put a tracking device somewhere. We've tracked Dr. M's tracker (ha! Take that, evil!) and we're plotting his location on a world map with each of our possible upcoming publishers' locations in them. Keep tuned for more updates as we triangulate on the signal and try to track down...the DASTARDLY DR. M.!


the mysterious Dr. M. made his appearance was way back in September, when we re-launched and moved the service out from the beta. Now, with the big announcement quickly approaching, it seems that Dr. M. has come out of the shadow once again. What's he up to this time? Find out more in the tale of great horror, entitled "Dr. M. & The Dastardly Doom". What horrors await? What grim future is coming to GOG.com?

We'll be posting the next pages of the comic in the next days so stay tuned to this news post as the story will reveal more info on Dr. M. and the secret briefcase!

gyokzoli: Also, what are you doing in Papua New Guinea?
Am looking for Dr. M.! Stay tuned for today's new comic page and it will be a bit more clear ;)

We're on for a journey around the globe, tracking down Dr.M.

We've managed to narrow down Dr.M.'s location to three places!

DrIstvaan: I'm not dropping in for the hype (that just doesn't seem to affect me), only to show my appreciation for the pun-bardment in this issue.
Seriously, who came up with those shoe-based puns?
GOG's resident American wrote, more or less, the whole script. I think Cook and Galimatias added a bit, too.

I never thought that college scriptwriting class would ever come in handy, but looks like it did. :P

Our journey continues and at the very end we finally find the clue.

Aliasalpha: Didn't seem to eliminate anything from the map...
Well the tracking continues, and it will take couple more hours to eliminate another location from the map. Will let you all know when it happens.

Vagabond: GOG should offer text message notifications. I NEED TO BE UP TO DATE WHILE ON THE TOILET.
Install Twitter or FB on your smartphone, that's how I stay in touch with the world while sitting on my "throne" ;p

SLP2000: Too much info :D


Off topic - I really hope you are already in contact with Stainless Games to bring us both Carmageddon games, as they have their rights to those games back.

Since they are developers, and there's noone else to talk to, I hope it won't be that hard to sign them onboard.
Yeh, too much info is sometimes... too much.
As for Carmagedon, if that will be the case we'll definitely let you guys know about it. Of course via an official announcement and some teasing before that happens ;p

Vel_Grozny: No change to the map today?

asb: I imagine it's meant to be updated, they've already announced on Twitter that it's either EA or LucasArts: http://twitter.com/#!/GOGcom/status/76000181975384064
Yeah, I think Dr.M. tried to stop us, but we won't give up and we'll get him! :)

EDIT: Map updated!

TaliaKirana: You know they'll likely post another teaser in the morning before the announcement. Just to keep us speculating.
You think we would do that? Nah! Or maybe it's not a bad idea? I'll see what I can do ;)

WE FOUND IT! We have tracked Dr M. down after extensive cryptographic analysis of the giant post-it note that we found in the Grand Canyon (by extensive analysis, we mean we read the forums and picked the most likely explanation). We came ready for a fight of titanic proportions, filled with Dr. M's henchmen, more explosions than a Michael Bay movie, and the kind of special effects budget that would beggar GOG for years to come.

However, it looks like the evil Dr. M celebrated a bit too hard last night.

We debated drawing something insulting on his face, but decided that waking him up might not end well for us.

Still WE HAVE OUR STUFF! Stay tuned--in a few hours we'll be announcing the information live on Ustream, right here on GOG.com!
