I know, and that's why I wasn't planning to tell you.
It took me forever to get the first GK at a decent price. Amazon.com had it for 10 bucks for a while and then it mysteriously went up to 50 bucks one day. I was miserable that I had missed out. Then, just as mysteriously it went down to 5 dollars a week or so ago and I jumped on it. Jewel case came in cracked, but that part is easy to replace and it was otherwise fine. Now it's up to $41.95

And thank you

I also don't look into this kind of stuff on my own (aside from getting Kohan, which I got off the timegate site). Just don't think about it. *shrug*

Looking further into GOG right now.
I'm not a huge fan of Steam, either. I think that has more to do with the fact that my friends would get on my case to play certain games if I actually used my account regularly and they can see everything I'm doing on there, and I don't like being pressured lol. I also don't like that I can never get a new account without kind of losing the games on the old one. I know that's pretty standard for digital download accounts, like on the PSN, but it makes me hesitant.

GOG.com just had a sale for the holiday where a lot of titles were half off. I ended up buying Last Express on there, even though I already have that one in my physical collection. GOG has them set up so they run so smoothly already without a major hassle or tweaking, too. I damn near cried when I opened the file and it didn't give me any errors

And yes, their selection is perfect for people like us
