So today it's the Independence Day of Finland. Like almost a hundred years ago, those big shot guys decided that we're all strong, independent Finns, so they called the Russian big shots and probably said something like "we're moving out" and the Russian guys were all like "oh, okay". The Swedes probably thought "whatevs, we know your heart still belongs to us" and decided not to snag us again. Or something like that. Anyway, it's pretty cool.

To celebrate, I'm having a giveaway thing here. To my knowledge, there are 2 Finnish games in the GOG catalogue: Flatout and Shadowgrounds, and I'm giving away 1 of each. I want you to post something here in Finnish to participate (y'know, because it's like totally related to the day). There are some added conditions though: no cursing, no booze/drug words, nothing disturbing. Those added conditions are there because I don't want to reward for silly things. It doesn't need to be anything fancy either.

..but if you're Finnish, it better be something profound or I'll quote you and make silly smileys. :D

The winners will be decided by a random draw after about 10 hours, so that would be around 20:20 GMT+2. Do mention if you already have either of the games or merely wanted to say something in Finnish just for fun. You won't be disqualified for having English in your post, as long as there's a bit with Finnish in it. Don't copy other posts' Finnish bits.

I think that about covers it. I hope I didn't forget anything important.

Don't hold your breath -extra bonus: If GOG releases something like Max Payne today, I'll give out that too.
En tiedä suomalaisia

I already have the games, leave me out.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää kaikille suomalaisille!

Just for fun =)
Alright, blame Google Translate if there is something wrong with this:

"Jännittyneenä odottanut Legend of Grimrock vapautuu DRM-vapaa ..."

Happy Finnish Independence Day!

* Note: aiming for Shadowgrounds.
Kerron sinulle onnea itsenäisyyspäivänä, mutta varmasti tämä kääntäjä epäonnistumaan ja jätä typerä hölynpölyä voit olla loukkaantunut ja haluaa tappaa minut.

I have no idea of Finnish so I don't know if it has any sense...
"Mennä, mennä vaan!"
Minä rakastan sinua <- this is not for you, obviously. :P I couldn't think of anything else in Suomi.
Suomen ihmiset ovat viileitä tiedät.

Hope the sentence is correct. :p
Lapin Kulta

I drank some of that during my interrail in Finland ten years ago ;)
I should really come back (not for that beer though)

I already have Shadowgrounds from the Humble Bundle, so I'd be aiming at Flatout.

Thanks for the giveaway.

EDIT: I wonder if that counts as "booze word"... probably it does :P

Haluaisin matkustaa suomeen joskus

(already have flatout)

thx for giveaway
Voin kirjoittaa Suomea ilman kääntäjiä, mutta ei pelejä minulle kiitos. Ihan liian monta ennestään. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää.
Hei *aaltoja*

I hope that isn't 'waves' as in the sea and is different to what you do with your hand in your language or something!
I have neither game
Cheerseys!

Onnea kirjoittajille, ehkä teistä joku saa oikean suomenkielisen lauseen kirjoitettua :) Ja hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää.

And no, I don't need the games.
Kun oli viimeinen Jumalan valtakuntaa hyttynen? Iloiset päivä häämöttää sinun ristiretken!

Shadowgrounds is still missing. We must not let this happen!
