That explains a bit - I was just looking then and realised there was quite a gap.

You want someone to run it more frequently? :D:D I know a guy....

Well, some of us don't use these two services...just saying.

I also only discovered this contest by accident, two days after this thread went live...and I'm looking into the forums at least two to three times a day, to see if something interesting showed up.

Such things could (maybe even should?) be announced on the front page of the store - not "hidden" in the forum.

Not that the front page news makes for something being exactly visible anymore, all the way at the bottom and just the most recent 3 showing up normally, and just a few more if you side-scroll, and even any of that only if you have a browser GOG likes, otherwise don't see any at all.

I didn't get to see it on Facebook, even if I'm following GOG's page. I don't use Twitter and, as mentionned later in the thread, I'm in no GOG-related discord group.

Guess the contest wasn't for me, after all. That's when I realize I'm getting old and losing touch with all those modern "means of communication". I mean, Twitter/Facebook and other social networks are just "annoying noises" for me, and nothing beats a good old forum.

Well, too bad for me, but I don't hold any grudge against GOG!

Actually, it would be nice if possible to make such contests appear as a notification in the forums notifications system. With an option to set them on or off in Settings of course.

How could you've missed it? I saw Linko's sexy avatar in the "Created by" column and I had to click the thread immediately. Nothing else needed to draw enough attention IMHO (つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)つ.

I saw on Twitter 11 games codes come fixed, is that right?

The contest may have ended already (why not post the contest on the news section on the frontpage?) but it won't hurt to share the first gaming moment that comes to mind, right?

So, it was 1998 and the Carmageddon II craze was all over the place; on one side the great qualities of the game and how addicting it is, on the other side all the relevant newsposts like "..this game will turn our children to terrorists and will consume their souls with that evil soundtrack" and all that sh¡t that were circulated in the news. Having just received my first PC as a present (because "it is the future"), it was only natural that i wouldn't miss the opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.

Well, as you would expect i really liked the game, in fact so much that one day i wanted to take it with me on my buddy's house to have fun together, but instead of taking the original disc to avoid scratching it (!), i thought it would be a good idea to just copy the game's shortcut to a floppy disk. Last minute test to see if it worked (it did, wow nice!!!) and i was on my way to have some fun. And as you would expect, the fun never came along; what an awkward moment it was when i clicked on the shortcut and wondered why it didn't work...

Well, even though nowadays i'm fairly knowledgeable in all things computer, still to this day the joke's on me. ;)

Yay! I definitely have more games than t-shirts :-)

Thank you very much @GOG, congrats @PoppyAppletree and @mintee and thanks for sharing to all the other participants.

I had my eyes literally scraped / peeled, back in July, for PRK surgery. NOT fun! haha.

Seriously, that sucked big-time. But I will be keeping them figuratively peeled for the results to this contest. Thought about entering a story I've posted a few times before, but it wouldn't stand a chance against some of these others without some creative embellishment.

All good stories deserve embellishment.

Congrats to winners! Thanks for the contest.

That include the Stories on Twitter? or where they done separately?
