GIVEAWAY STATUS: CLOSED

Congratulations to all the winners!

Hello folks. To celebrate my 30th birthday (in just over a week, on 22nd Oct) I've decided to give away some of the games I bought this year but never got to play, or simply those that I got more than one.

Basically to try and keep my backlog in check I've decided to buy games as gifts (on GOG I send them to my email as gifts, on Steam buying them as gifts and keeping them in the Gift Inventory, and simply not downloading or activate the serials from places like Amazon, GamersGate and others). This way I only add them to my game list when I actually want to play them. Even if I don't finish them, if I play them for a couple of hours I feel I didn't waste the money :)
And I planned to trade them if I didn't activate them for a long time. That doesn't work so well as prices are continuously going down, promos get bigger, games get into bundles and you never get what you payed for them.

How to:
- pick two items from the list of 30 (you may win only one)
- entries will be open for one week from now (so until the 21st Oct)
- your GOG account must be a couple of months old and have like 10 rep
- on the 22nd I'll randomly select the winners. I'll try to send most gifts that day but if I'm a couple of days late don't hold it against me if I'm a bit busy at the time :)

Happy birthday for next week =)

Can I enter for Runespell Overture please?

As for whether turning thirty rocks or sucks, I reckon the other things in your life at the time are more important. I'd just graduated from University and was relocating to London when I turned 30, so it was a difficult but exciting time for me

Edit: forgot to give you a loving +1, it's done now =)

Edit2: forum stole my formatting

I'd love to enter for Bard's Tale and Orcs Must Die (Sorry Orcishgamer :P).
Or could win the Abe's Oddyssy thing.

For me turning 30 I barely noticed... my wife says I still haven't mentally hit 20 yet due to my gaming addiction ;)
Not here for the giveaway, just want to wish you a happy birthday early! :)

Just days ago I turned 30 myself. Can't say there's a huge difference, though it is quite a milestone. I will say that as a longtime gamer you can still have new gaming experiences. For example, it's only in recent years I found GOG and got into PC gaming, then just weeks ago I built my very first gaming PC. Just a few rewarding gaming related things to happen to me near and after 30.
Crusader Kings and Fallout 2 I will strive for at least 10 rep by that point! btw, 30 doesn't suck. Although 30 something with kids is HARD WORK edit: wow, I already have more than 10 rep. Awesome, you guys all rock.

No entry for me :) Like others I'm here to wish you an early Happy Birthday :D

Getting older is awesome IMHO. I turned 38 at the beginning of last month but I don't feel it one bit. Anywho, have a good one and thanks for the giveaway, Aningan
