Birthday fun and gifts (for you!)
GOG.com 5th birthday celebration continues, and we came up with some fun activities essential to every nerd party in the universe. Namely, we want to play some trivia with you! There will be prizes, of course, because there have to be gifts in a birthday celebration. Since it is our party, you get to keep the gifts! We wouldn't have it any other way. But, just to make it more fun, you'll have to put some effort into getting them. For the next couple of days (let's say: until Sunday), we'll post a daily activity for you. A quiz, a puzzle, some trivia--you know: fun stuff. Each day you'll get a chance to prove your gaming knowledge and familiarity with GOG.com for a chance to get some free games. Our activity of choice today: word search!

UPDATE:
We got word from our support, that some users aren't sure where they should send the answers. Let's pretend that finding the e-mail address on the picture below is a little warm-up exercise before the actual word search. If you can't handle that task, there's probably not much point in wasting your time looking for the 40 titles. And one more thing: we didn't notice it ourselves, but there's actually 41 hidden titles in the picture (apart from the highlighted "FEZ"). That's because one of the longer ones contains another one, shorter. Still--we don't expect more than 40, and that gives you a bit of an advantage.

Braussie: I got 40, but one is part of another, and I"m not sure if that counts. Oh well. I might look and see if I can find any other.
There's no reason why it shouldn't count. The instructions are to find games from the GOG catalog in all directions. It's clearly a game from the GOG catalog, and it's written in a valid direction.

There is however another game that might count as the 40th, but that one has its own problems.

I'd expect GOG to accept both though.

Tarhiel: Ufff...48 items found :)
Sent in just now.

Austrobogulator: 48? o_O
I was surprised myself. I think they drop in few more so one would have better chance of finding the necessary amount. I might not even have gotten all of them.

EDIT: I have just found one more :D

48 is impossible unless you pull such stunts as counting game series as an "X-in-1" entry.
Posted September 25, 2013
Found the 40 games, plus Fez and the extra one (the one-inside-another game). Total: 42 games.
Oh, and also poop.
Keep searchin'!

Yeah, you´re right, mea culpa,I just realized I made mistake depending on word count.
Oh, good Lord, such a trivial mistake. Well, it´s 2:34 here :P

Only 1 missing.... TT_TT

At least number 39 was a game I played a lot as a child.
Posted September 25, 2013
I finally found it. It was in a obvious space.

Sent the words in a email different from the one linked to my account, because I'm paranoid like that.

I also attached the word puzzle with all the doodles on it.

I also wondered if TET made the wordsearch, as I found "TET" in the cross section of "FEZ"... lol...

That's what I think as well. We shall see :) I looked for 20+ minutes til I saw the one I just mentioned.

I laughed when I saw poop.

Wishbone: Doesn't help me one bit. I'm guessing the two I'm missing are not the same two you were missing.

ElPrimordial: 11, 11, 9, 9, that helps???
Wow... once my wordsearch addled brain figured out what that was, yes, that helped me. Thank you! Finally found the last one I was looking for.

Too bad I'm probably too late for the 40 at this point, though :-(

Okay, I sent mine in...I'm just going to hope they forget that Fez doesn't count >_<'
Posted September 25, 2013
I found 41, just in case Fez didn't count. Not sure how they wanted to the submission formatted. I just included the words I found, not the full titles of the games to which they relate.
Posted September 25, 2013
All right then, final count: 36
Posted September 25, 2013
38 and my eyes hurt. Time to make dinner and come back to this.
