[QUOTE]A patient giveaway.
With so many big changes on GOG.com, we just can't wait to put a bit of extra pressure on our backend infrastructure to see how well it fares. There's no better way to turn it up than with a giveaway, so we'll be handing out 8,000 free copies of [URL="http://www.gog.com/game/rise_of_the_triad"]Rise of the Triad (2013)[/URL] - the modern first person shooter gone completely, unapologetically old-school.
We want to see just how well we can handle thousands of people redeeming their games on GOG.com at once.
The giveaway will happen on [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers"]reddit.com/r/patientgamers[/URL].
The rules are pretty simple: the first 8,000 people to send a private message to our official account will receive their codes in an automated reply. To give you time to grab your key, we'll announce the giveaway on[URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/patientgamers"]reddit.com/r/patientgamers[/URL] from the official GOGcom account, at 11:00 AM GMT / 1:00 PM CET / 4:00 AM PT / 7:00 AM ET. You'll have three hours to send us a PM and receive a reply. Just as we finish the giveaway (at 2:00 PM GMT / 4:00 PM CET / 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET) you will have precisely 20 minutes to redeem it - yup, we want all of you to redeem your codes at the same time and really give our infrastructure a workout.
To redeem your code, simply head to [URL="http://www.gog.com/redeem"]gog.com/redeem[/URL] and enter your code on the page!
Stay ready to pull the trigger once you get your code!
To sum things up:
--The entire event will take place on Thursday, May 14th.
--We announce the giveaway on Reddit in a selfpost - 11:00 PM GMT / 1:00 PM CET / 4:00 AM PT / 7:00 AM ET

[URL="http://www.gog.com/game/rise_of_the_triad"]Rise of the Triad (2013)[/URL]: the blood-dripping, gib-blasting, gun-slinging, rocket-spamming FPS has returned with a vengeance after nearly two decades. Swarms of enemies, no hand-holding, awesome guns, badass one-liners, a pretense story, and ridiculous amounts of virtual guts flying all over the place - all checked and accounted for. To say more would almost be insulting to a game that shoots first and asks questions later.[/QUOTE]

Do I PM their reddit account or their website?
Most likely the Reddit account.
Fuck i bought it and still haven't beaten it
take this opportunity though it's a nice little game. for 15$ it's worth it, for less its a steal.
-snip, there was an error in the article-
FUCK! This is when my General Studies exam is.
EDIT: I'm stupid I've PMed the acc no reply so I guess it's safe to assume they are out.

It starts tomorrow.
An awesome game that was killed by bugs and afwul optimization. For free completely worth a try though.

the optimization has since been fixed
I fear that about 8,000 bots will start sending them PM's. Making an account on Reddit is piss easy.
oh boy 4am, I'm ineligible unless I want to completely rupture my already damaged sleep schedule

It's great, if not wonky, but at least I can do quick saves now for the platforming bullshit sequences. I never finished it myself, though; got right to the end and then one of the levels forces you to hunt for keys and I just [i]never[/i] found my way through the map properly.
Having played through the original, the remake was a bit underwhelming. Still, you can't beat FREE.
Personally though if I want my RotT fix I get it through doom wads.

Already got my key, now we wait.
Whoop, got a code.
In how many hours will the redemption window work? I'm pretty bad with timezones and shit.

1 hour 10 minutes

Thanks! Hope I can run this smoothly.

Too bad the quicksaving is horribly broken, and sometimes quickloading just sends you back to the beginning of the level.
you can redeem the code now

[del]can't redeem my code[/del]
logged out and back in again. works now
[QUOTE=elevate;47718312]the optimization has since been fixed[/QUOTE]
It gives me slowdown on high settings with my 970, and it doesn't even look that good. It's still pretty horribly optimized.
Wonder why nobody is playing mp.
