It's our birthday, and we'll rap if we want to!

'Cause you know our rhymes are wack
Feel the beat--you can't go back
It's a free game rap attack
If you wanna win then take a crack

GOG.com, as you possibly know, has turned five. In celebration of us turning five, we like to have gifts for you--let's face it, if not for you, we wouldn't be here. So check out the video with our mad phat beatz yo, laid by MC Enigmatic and the famous DJ Russkat, and then if you're inspired, feel free to drop us lyrics of your own! We'll collect all of the best lyrics and award up to four people 5 GOG.com games of their choice in exchange for their permission to use their lyrics in a proper GOG Birthday Rap video. We may even spring for proper moving pictures for the next one!

Please send us all of your submissions (by which we mean: leave a comment below in the forums) by Friday 20 September 2013 at 0900 Eastern time to enter into the contest.

So how about an instrumental so we can actually be inspired?
I really want to do this now. Can we record it ourselves, or do we have to just write the lyrics out?
So you want to buy a game,
But it's DRM is too lame,
You don't know who to blame,
Relax cause this is where GOG.com earns its fame!
All their games are DRM free,
Along with extras like they go on a tree,
Forcing you to go on a shopping spree,
Releasing awesome games that make you drool,
Oh GOG.com, you're so damn cool!

-------
Sounds childish, but I try,
I know rhyming this further would make it dry,
Now give me the games I would otherwise buy,
Or I shall rhyme even further to make your brains fry!

Jokes apart, happy birthday GOG! Cheers and keep up the good work! :)

tinyE: What rhymes with "vagina"?
Regina. Your mom's name.

K-POW! :P
I hate rap and this is as cheesy as I could go:

GOG is like a good ol' gangsta,
While they sleep with the fishes,
Our compact discs sleep with the rubble,
But their legacy will forever live on

Kunovski: I hate rap and hip-hop but this is kind of fun to listen to :)
I can imagine, because if you love rap and hip hop listening to this is no fun at all. ;)

PS: Don't copy that floppy!

Whichever makes you happier. :)

his palms are sweaty, knees weak
arms spaghetti
There’s vomit on his spaghetti already,
mom’s spaghetti
He’s spaghetti, but on the surface he
looks calm and ready to drop spaghetti
but he keeps on forgetting what he
spaghetti
As a heavy metal listener, I dug out my old Limp Bizkit for inspiration...fingers crossed!

GOG.com has RPGs coming atcha,
Baldur's Gate, Ultima, and even The Witcher!
Games is how we roll - only DRM-free,
Ain't got nothin' holding back to play Duke Nukem 3D!
"

Now if you excuse me, I am going to wash myself...

Whats the song in the backgound? I take it you want the rap to go with it and not some other song?
Let's give it a try.


"In the land of the G-O-G,
we live in this world D-R-M free,
we're grateful for this opportunity,
to be a part of gaming history,
so take it from you and me,
nothing beats this PC supremacy."

Well, there's my entry. :)
Is more than one submission allowed?

Imagine a place that could bring you back to your childhood
It's 2013 but we're playing games from the 90's, it's all good
A place where space is still awesome
With hot deals like blowing fire out of Dhalsim
A place where you can ball out
Throat punch dragons and survive a nuclear fallout
28 years old but I still play
Planescape: Torment on Windows 7 till this day
GOG is like a pillow that you can't cut through
Any more reason you should just ask Boo
This here is ten times infinity
Break COD fanboys' hearts with Divine Divinity
Keep your Battlefield and your FarCry 3
Duke Nukem and Geralt are still reppin' with me

Happy birthday GOG!

Here's my shot at it:

GoG is a place
On the internet space
Where you can get some old games
With some really cool names
And you can relive all your past
So comeon it's such a blast
Just like playing your Atari
It's a gameland safari
As you take the biplane
Down memory lane
on GoG!

They've got total annihilation
With planetary devastation
And it's never too late
To pick up Baldur's Gate
They've got Witcher and Freespace
Heroes (of MM) and Fallout
So many in this place
That it's too many to callout
But all of these games are totally great
And GoG's always been a really cheap date
With no CD Roms to fight
And no DRM in sight
So don't just sit there and wait
To get these games on your plate!
Go to GoG!
(The bolded syllables should be emphasized to create the intended rythm)

There's this website on the interwebs that's really the bomb.
Get your gaming on
at gee-oh-gee dot com!

You can be buy'in and install'in all this awesome stuff:
all the games from you childhood!
(or close enough)

So go online and check it out - you'll be suporting them.
Only a couple of bucks,
and no dee-er-em!

Note: I have no idea if this will match the rythm of the music in the posted video, as I'm at work and can't watch it just now. Hopefully that's not a requirement in any case!
