GR, Thank you for the gracious offer & considering my entries into the selection for both Barrow Hill games & the runner-up category.
Frankly, I've been through & overcome much, beside my particular vocations, avocations, exposures, & interests even from an early age, my philosophy of acceptance, understanding, respect, & virtue along with intrigue that I've seemingly no scares or fears. Although, from an early age I have appreciated horror, macabre, science & social speculation, dystopia, yet I still appreciate a suspenseful atmosphere along with getting & giving a harmless jump of surprise. Seriously, from my youth I was already fascinated by all matters with environment, anthropology, archaeology, medicine, psychology, exo-biology, reading HP Lovecraft, grisly pulp tales, esoteric films, viewing rather repulsive graphic art only to know it was there & somehow another human created it from their abstract mind, also realizing the extremes of human nature to create, nurture, destroy, restore, ... Whether terrestrial, supernatural, paranormal, infinitesimal to infinite, even extra-terrestrial would engender intrigue rather than fear; I'd always hoped that any visitors to Earth would have a good sense of humor because that sure helps us to understand, relate, bridge, & get by with each other & situations. I know, sounds jaded, but I'm still reserving a sense of wonder, boundless optimism, hope, ...; I'm also aware that contemporary youth are vastly exposed to various media & ideas too, such an extent that they would be very difficult to scare since, beside R L Stine et al, now I'm aware of animation or a cartoon about HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon, even where the author himself depicted as a character, but derived from a graphic novel. With all this to say, I still appreciate the imagination & craft that goes into creating these "video games" (seem to have transcended such a description don't you agree?) we all enjoy. Continuing the journey.

Not in but one thing that really scares me is cockroaches. It just freaks me out when they scurry around aimlessly and even worse when they fly around aimlessly.

Not in.

In for both.
As for your question, what is one thing that scares me a lot, that's easy...mandatory Galaxy DRM! But if you prefer a more serious (though I am seriously against DRM) "non-GOG" answer that goes a lot deeper let me try this one: the tendency of humans to be swayed by the art of rhetoric even when it flies in the face of other properties of reality.

For me, it used to be bees and wasps - these days, I cope better with bees but still can't stand wasps.
Probably dates back to when I was a little kid when a bee landed on my back and mum freaked out when I brought
it into the house...
The Cornish setting of the Barrow hill games reminds me of a wierd but true incident from my early teens - we'd gone on holiday to Cornwall, and went to have a look at a small stone circle - it was away from the roads, and we had to go along a small right of way across a farm field to get there. Took my camera along to take some photos, got to the circle - not stonehenge style, just upright stones a few feet high, and we were the only people there - and when I got to the middle of the circle I heard a sudden loud noise of bees - it freaked me out somewhat, since there was nothing in sight to explain it, and it went away when I moved out of the centre. Oddly enough, I never ended up wirh any pictures either - turned out the film (this was back in pre-digital days) hadn't loaded properly - I'd been taking pictures for years by then, and to this day, that's the only time I've ever had a problem loading film. Probably just a coincidence, but odd :)

Please note, also, that you should check to see if you won when the winners are chosen(which should be about a few hours after the contest closes, hopefully). ...as if you win I will need you to add me as a friend temporarily so I can PM you the codes.

I'm in. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm shameful to admit it, but I'm a grown man that really don't like syringes. It's at a point where I can't even look at a picture of one or hear descriptions about it without feeling physically uncomfortable. I've been exposed to a few over the years of course, but I could just never get used to it. At least it inspires me to stay healthy and keep my teeth clean, hehe..
