It's actually the weekend today, so you know our contest weekend keeps on rolling--and the stakes are rising! If you've got the free time today, we have just the thing to keep you entertained on a cold afternoon; another contest. We will be running three more contests throughout the weekend, and a new one starts right now!

To give you guys a break from brain teasing and word jumbles, we offer you a caption contest. This weekend's special sale is on Anuman games, so take a look at the screencaps on the game pages from any of their games in our catalog and find the perfect caption. Draw on a speech bubble, or maybe make a motivational poster. Whatever you do, you'll have until 6.59 EST tomorrow (13.11.11) to come up with something witty or trenchant and send it to [url=mailto:contest@gog.com?subject=GOG.com 2011 Caption Contest]contest@gog.com[/url] with the subject line "GOG.com 2011 Caption Contest". We'll announce all of our contest winners on Wednesday, so keep tuned.

From all of the entries, we'll pick 3 winners and gift them 3 $5.99 or $9.99 games of their choice. The heat is on to make an impression in a good way, so warm up those pixel-slicing machines and show us what you can do.

Bonne chance, and be sure to check back tomorrow for our last two contests!

I've made a few attempts, but I'm not sure about sending any of them just yet. I'll try a few more.

TheEnigmaticT: And don't worry, tomorrow you will see both the most creative puzzle yet as well as the most difficultly brainy one yet.
Looking forward to it.

I actually enjoyed this one more, because I neither have a printer or a scanner, which was needed for the previous ones. It's just too horrible to do in paint.

How do we extract the screenshots from the site? They're all Flash-based thingies.

Or find the link in the source, then you won't need to cut it out and the quality won't suffer either.

TheEnigmaticT: snip
I've spent about six hours total polishing my entry for this contest before this your clarification so I am not going to modify it any further - it is a little different from what you said but I hope it will be ok.

btw: no reply from bot.. sigh :(

I usually suck at those "be-creative-contests", but nonetheless I sent a screenshot in...

Profanity: Am I the only one having a problem with actually saving any screenshot from the game page? When I press on the thumbnail, it gets bigger, but then I am unable to "Right click>Save" or "Right Click>View Image".

You could use the free program "Snipping Tool"...works fine, I always use it for such purpose.

I dug around in the code until I found what I needed. More or less the same result as a Print Screen. (I tried it first but went back to see if I could find a better image).

Well, considering we're all geeks, digging around in codes is fun.

Good luck to everyone!

I get this feeling a version of mine has been made by others. But whatever, mine is awesomely snarky.

If you are a Firefox user, you could do what I do. I have the extension "Nuke Anything Enhanced" with that installed if you right click on the image and select "Remove object about 3 times" you will be able to then right click and save image. It is very handy at removing layers put on top of images.

Failing that I guess you could go with the suggestions of others on the forums to screenshot the images instead.

I'm guessing that the crazy man from Megarace is a popular choice ;)
