Azilut: The December sales are bringing in a lot of new blood, and also prompting a lot of giveaways. Unfortunately, many of these giveaways are closed to anyone who has registered in the last few months. While I understand the reasons for this (to cut down on scammers), I think it's too bad that the newcomers aren't getting to join in the fun.
Also, I've won two giveaways in the past 24 hours - the balance must be restored!
So, I'm giving away
two $9.99 shopping sprees at GOG.com to members who have registered
on or after November 1st, 2012.
EDIT: Other GOG members have now contributed additional prizes! Too many to list here; see below for what can be won!
And since I'm addressing newcomers, I might as well use this opportunity to draw attention to one of this site's features: the
community wishlist. This is where you vote for games you would like to see released at GOG.com, or site features you would like the GOG team to implement. While this doesn't necessarily determine the order in which games get released (GOG still has to secure the rights, after all), it does presumably give GOG some ammunition when trying to persuade publishers to release their games here ("Look at how many people have requested it!").
So to enter this giveaway, here's what you need to do:
1. Head on over to the
Community Wishlist 2. Vote for something (or many things! Or add your own request!)
3. Come back and post in this thread, and tell me what you voted for (and why!).
Please only enter if you want the games for yourself, or as gifts for someone you know. If you're just looking for codes to trade, then please get them elsewhere.
Contest ends at some point on December 21. I will randomly pick two winners using random.org. The winners can send me a PM asking for up to $9.99 worth of games at any point until the end of the holiday sales.
That's it! Welcome to GOG.

Just joined up a few days ago, been buying my childhood/teenage years ever since! I voted for Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodllines, I remember it being a great game that I never got around to playing enough. Mechwarrior II, I can remember playing this game with my friends after school, woudl be a trip to see it again. Also voted for the Wizardry series, always heard great things about them but never got a chance to play.
