The quest to help discover the Ubisoft treasures as we’ve relaunched our catalogue has been going for two weeks now and the armies of GOG Heroes grow with every day. It's time for another quest and another shoot at great loot. This time you need to prove your worth!

As a fighter on the battlefield you have to show how brave you are even when the enemies are numerous and they are better equipped. To show your comrades there's nothing to fear you have to use the best taunt you can come up with. That's why your quest is to record a short video showing your best GOG battle cry. Keep it clean, though, ‘cause GOG doesn’t fight dirty.

A good wizard is crafty and fights with more than just brawn. His biggest strength is the ability to mess with his enemies' brains. As a wizard, record a short video on which you'll show us your best magic trick - be it a trick with cards, coins, rabbits or disappearing ladies - mess with our heads and you'll complete your quest.

Once you’ve made your battle cry or your magic trick, upload it to YouTube and then post a link to it in this forum thread. We're accepting your submissions until Sunday, March 27 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Out of all entrants we will depend on your votes to help us pick the best fighter and the best wizard. The two victorious heroes will each be awarded with 10 GOG games of their choice.

We’ll get back to you guys at the end of the week with info on how we’ll be accepting voting; in the mean time, let the fight begin!

SmashManiac: No Twitter account, no photo/video camera, already reviewed games I've played a long time ago, no YouTube account, and no contest for me. :(
Nobody was born with a twitter account, man...

VoodooEconomist: How about cellphones? Or friends' cellphones?
Sorry, my cellphone doesn't do any fancy tricks like that, but I'm going to keep it till it breaks ;)
And I'd rather not go to a friend and ask him to record something like that, or I might end up in medical care with a large red stamp reading 'INSANE' on my forehead :p

I think he means that he doesn't want a twitter account, which is fair enough.

Aningan: Do we keep the previous chosen classes? Or can do whichever quest we prefer?
You may act in any class you prefer. We don't have a massive spreadsheet tracking who's been doing what. :)

VoodooEconomist: Wow if I knew this was so cool, I'd join on day 1, but setting up a twitter account seemed like such a bother... Now I regret my attitude, so to repent I join the monk class, hoping to reach the GOG-Monk prestiege class before this lifetime ends, gogwilling.
I'd also note that you're welcome to join in now even if you haven't participated in the previous two quests.

Lasharus: magic, to me, is not mere sleight of hand. It is actual magic. Oh, sleight of hand has its advantages, but it's not for me
Indeed. Slight of hand would be more fitting for some kind of rogue.

Damuna: Does entry in more than one of the quests increase your chances of winning at all?

Also, is there some reason two of the contests so far have involved users sharing their likenesses? The previous one was fine since an alternative was available, but there isn't an alternative here.
sure there is... you can decide to do a trick or just growl into the camera :)

The wording of the quest states that the video must show your GROWL, not your face :-) And neither does the wizard one, you can make a lady disappear without showing yourself on camera, or you're not much of a wizard now, are you?

Kind of opens up the question of virtual tricks, or 'video editing' being allowed ;)
That way no camera would be required, but some sort of rendering utility, or just a video editing software if you have some footage with lax copyright setting ;)

Well, we'll be polling our users for their favorite entry in each category seperately, so if you enter both you increase your chances of winning, I suppose.

Also, as a few others have noted, you don't have to show any more of yourself than is required for the trick; if you want to show just your hands, go right ahead and show just your hands. If you can manage a fearsome GOG battlecry without showing any of yourself at all, then that's fine, too.

I personally would prefer an actual feat of prestidigitation, but the vote's not on me, is it?

BadSeafood: I almost want to make a lengthy video of myself doing dumb dad tricks like separating your thumb.

Almost.

So that's all I have to do? Post a youtube link of me doing a battlecry and I could possibly win? Also, if you like someone elses video, how do you vote on this forum?

Edit:

Here's my pitiful entry.

I haven't seen any others except for the magic card trick guy yet, and I'm not sure how the voting works yet, so I have no vote yet.

You know, I kind of laughed when I saw that. It wasn't actually that bad.

It's the last day of my auto tune plugin trial.

Seriously though, Audacity is fun.
