I wanted to say thank you to the GOG community for all the great people! The general comradery and positiveness I've seen is rare in forums, and I am grateful for you all!

Here's a little history...

I joined GOG in Oct of 2011 cause GOG had some games I wanted to have but they weren't on Steam at the time (Beyond Good and Evil, and the Baldurs Gate series). I also loved adventure games growing up (I tend to be a retro/budget gamer) and it seemed this would be the place to be for getting older games. During that time, I wasn't paying attention to the forums at all. My extent of participation was "Oh, I want Grim Fandago too. I'll request that too."

When the "Quest for Glory" bundle came out, I had to instantly buy it. I then decided to write a review on it so I could share my love for the game with others.

Until recently, that was my level of involvement. I started seeing some posts on here, giving away free games and started paying more attention. After all- who wouldn't like a free game?

I started seeing a lot more give-aways, and people going above and beyond what is normal in online gaming communities. This caused me to make sure I gave +1 rep to any who give things away, whether or not I am wanting the game they offer. In one case, a member who has over 400 rep (whom will remain nameless to prevent people from just asking for games) sent me a private message offering me a free game of my choice (out of a couple). I hadn't done anything deserving of it. They were just being nice for the sake of it.

I'm sure there are similar stories by several others out there. I have preferred GOG for it's DRM free games, but have now recommended it for the community as well.

I know it's not much, but this is my way of saying thank you. I made a couple weeks ago showing a few of the voices/impressions I can do (I think there were 29, though I can do a lot more). Most people I've talked to think it's amusing, so I want to share it with you all. I hope this can at least give you a moment of cheer and/or laughter.

Enjoy! And keep being a great community!

Not having watched any of the cartoons, Bill Clinton was probably the only character of whom I know the original voice. But the clip _is_ pretty funny, and the varied facial expressions made up for not knowing the characters. ;)

I'm thinking of someone else... ^^ Not necessarily Ian...

Not gonna say who it is, but if it is the same person, he gifted me some time ago Syberia + Syberia 2, and I can't thank him enough for these two games.

He asked me if I could avoid stating his name .. so it might be him.

We have a shadow-gifter on GOG? He sits hidden, ready to pounce on you and gift you a game when you least expect it! Scary...

You might even call him a serial gifter !

Great job...really enjoyed the impersonations (knew a majority of them), and like misfire200 above, I particularly enjoyed the accent transitions near the end...at one point I felt like I was listening to a snippet from Fargo ;-)

Great impressions! As long as they don't become voices in your head...

+1 on the great speech here and shared your video on Facebook/Twitter. :)
