Obviously not in -I could totally buy all these games right now, but I'd prefer to get them with a bigger discount, and that's pretty much the only reason why I haven't bought them yet... It isn't true -Greece in 1941-1944 was way more a German protectorate than today's Greece -because the government was actually pretty much forced to do whatever the Germans said, and couldn't just go like "ok, we'll do it' without actually doing anything but raise taxes afterwards (while the Germans/troika have proposed somewhat more sensible measures...). Not to mention that Greeks can actually buy the aforementioned games, while Germans cannot (e.g it is precisely such an oxymoron that everybody can kill Nazis in videogame except the Germans themselves!).

Anyways, thumbs up for hosting this considerate giveaway Doc0075 and +1! :-)

Before I forget: Something I kind of like about Germany -that a whole lot of good history books (especially about Byzantium and WWII) is written by Germans -that's pretty much one of the reasons I'm learning German -because many interesting history books in German aren't translated in Greek...

Looks awesome. Thanks for doing those good deeds even though I'm personally not really interested in FPS.

Someone with a better grasp of the German language than me should make a link to this on the German general forum, bitte (please). I got a nice big F in German subject back in my school days and never really learnt more afterwards so not the most suited to do it.
I'm not in myself. Got the Return to Castle Wolfenstein on a cd and did not even try it yet.

Maybe some German politicians think teens should lead a healthy outdoors life instead of play violent games? Like in old days https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth

Thanks for this giveaway Doc0075! I'm in for

1. Return to Castle Wolfenstein
2. Quake 2
3. Doom 2 + Final Doom

What do I like about Germany? Good question. First of all I like the beer. There are so much different german beers available and most of them taste really good. I like that you are allowed to start drinking beer with 16 and that it is allowed to drink it in public. Second some of my most liked video games are from german devs (Gothic 1 and 2 and Deponia (1+2+3)). And I like that it is possible to create really long words like for example
Kraftfahrzeugversicherungspolicenverkäuferschulungsgebäude oder Orgelpfeifenreinigungsgerätefabrikgebäude :)

Good luck all and thanks again!

P.S.: Vielen Dank für das Gewinnspiel! Noch einen schönen Sonntag. Viel Glück an alle Teilnehmer!

Wow, Im seriously impressed by this giveaway. Have been hating our child protection in regards of computer games since my teenage years :P

Im absolutely in for:

1. Return To Castle Wolfenstein
2. Quake 2
3. Quake: The Offspring

What i like about germany? Bratwurst, Sauerkraut and kale with smoked sausage.

Cant help it but I simply love these. Ever did and probably ever will.

Thanks for the giveaway.

No worries, it was an attempt at humor. Seeing how it failed, it may have been an attempt at German humor.
I'll see myself out...

Thank you very much for the generous giveaway. I'm in, might as well give it a shot.

My preference list would be:

1. Return to Castle Wolfenstein
2. Doom 2
3. Ultimate Doom

For all my complaining about Germany, there‘s quite a lot here that I like, but if there‘s one thing I think deserves a bit more recognition for its quality, it‘s German film and TV dubbing. A lot of the time, though certainly not always, they‘re really good.
I don‘t know if it‘s simply because I grew up with them, but I find they tend to sound a lot more natural than a lot of other language dubs, such as most of the English ones I‘ve seen. Sometimes, they even seem to improve certain films and performances.
I guess we simply have a whole bunch of really good voice actors, a lot of which managed to establish themselves as the „definitive“ German voices for certain big-name actors. Examples include Thomas Danneberg, who voices people like Stallone or Schwarzenegger (even at the same time) and Martin Keßler, notable for voicing Nicolas Cage and Vin Diesel.

However, this doesn't really apply to a lot of recent animated films, which are plagued with terrible casting choices, usually going for German comedians or celebrities who have absolutely no talent or training for voice acting.

Well girls and ladies get F in sex.
:P

After taking a look at Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I can't imagine why anyone would take issues with such a refined work of art that clearly uses anticonstitutional symbols like the swastika only for historical accuracy and to demonstrate how and [url=http://i.imgur.com/uzzlu.jpg]unattractive nazism is. ;)

Anyway, thanks for the giveaway! I already have too many games on my plate to participate in it with a clean conscience, as the id games wouldn't be my priority, but I announced your thread in the German forum.

Why not get A Schwarzenegger to do the German dubs of himself?! His dialect is easy to understand.

Thumbs up Leroux

I thought after I made my post that this was a possibility, but I couldn't be certain, so I decided to let it be treated as if it weren't humour (at least once, treating some post, that looked like its author might be joking, as if he were serious in case of uncertainty has helped, because it turned out he was indeed being serious... not to mention that way too many people in Greece say this stuff you said while being serious and not-joking...)
Anyways, no worries indeed :-) Btw, I really do wonder if the German humour is really as incomprehensible to the rest of the world as the stereotype has it... Maybe a German could clarify on that one...

I usually prefer to watch movies in their original language, because it feels more natural and because a lot of things get lost (or distorted) in translation, but I have to agree; because dubbing is so common in Germany, it's got a pretty high standard with excellent voiceactors (in movies, not so much in videogames who are probably considered less important, as alway, although some games like Borderlands 2 have excellent German voiceacting, too).

How would Germans be able to clarify, when they don't see the problem with it? ;) Frankly, I wouldn't even know what German humor is supossed to be. Even in Germany, some attempts at humor are funny and others are not, some people laugh about this stuff, others about that stuff. I guess it would take a foreigner to explain to Germans what their typical common humor is.

The stereotype isn't that German humor is incomprehensible. The stereotype is that Germans have their sense of humor surgically removed.
But yes, would be nice to hear about it from a proper German.

some movies subtitles fill the feeling too much...
