Choose and PM me your choice of a $10 game (or a $6 game and a D&D promo game, or 3 games from the D&D promo).

Correct answer enclosed.

Preemptive FAQ:

1. Wait, is this for real?
Yes, it is. If it wasn't, I probably wouldn't have made a giveaway. I'm cheap like that. I also filed a support request.

2. This looks shopped. I can tell by some of the pixels...
The purple is Paint'ed, and then the picture was converted to jpeg with good old shop (7.0 to be precise). Everything else is undoctored.

3. How did you do that?
Played too much Uplink.

4. Can I do that?
I dunno. This is why I made the giveaway - to find out whether anyone else has done the same. And to celebrate my birthday (yesterday) and 2 years on GOG (today).

5. Is it just a visual glitch or what?
The big red button works. I have not tried, and will not try, anything else, for obvious reasons.

5. Did you find out when System Shock / Grim Fandango / whatever will be released?
No.

===========

Today is my birthday, and something extraordinary and amusing has happened. (No, I didn't get laid.)

Guess what and win $100 in GOG games of your choice (to be redeemed to your account).

You can post guesses here - but if you *know* the correct answer (as opposed to making a random guess), you might not want to post it, so PM is allowed.

Giveaway closes after someone guesses correctly or my support request is closed (if no one guesses, I'll choose several people randomly). Then I'll post a pic.

This question / problem has been solved by Volt.image
You got a promotion at your workplace, and now have a position that you really wanted?
You somehow found out that someone you know online (like, maybe here) and someone you know in real life are the same person!
You met a wild animal that wondered into your area.
As you were walking down the street someone accidentally dropped a birthday cake out of a window and you caught it.
Someone threw you a surprise party and you were actually surprised, not because they were really clever in hiding it but because you completely forgot about it being your birthday.
...someone face-planted into the cake.
You met someone famous? A football player perhaps?
You accidentally purchased something (extra copy of something you already own or a bundle of games) and you contacted GOG support for a refund. With it being your birthday they refunded the incorrect purchase and have let you keep the games.
Happy birthday, thanks, and +1 to you, Starmaker!

Well, since this is one shot in a million, I'll give this a go.

You bought yourself something that you've wanted for a long time only to find out that someone else got you that gift for your birthday thinking they would surprise you.
Happy birthday mate, hope you have a good one \o/

I'm going to riff off iainmet's guess and say you bought the promo games just before the promo, and GOG are giving you the discount retroactively.
Maybe you won big money in some lottery/contest? Thank you and Happy Birthday! I had birthday just yesterday. Cheers! :)
You won at lottery?
Happy birthday! :)
Your child has born?


Also Happy Birthday! ;p
