Update: You can throw in an entry for more than one game. However you can only win one game.

For example if your interested in 2 or 3 games or whatever from the list. That's fine, however it will be one specific winner for each game. I'd like to get everyone a fair opportunity.

Thanks for another wonderful giveaway Briareros262 and also most people hate their jobs but you made it more relatable by incorporating the games. I have had my fair share of bureaucracy and office politics in my previous jobs which can be really stressful to deal with so I really hope you find something better as peace of mind is very important for a long life. :)

Alas, I fall far below the requirements for this giveaway even though I am very much interested in Planescape Torment (My previous job sometimes made me feel like 'can't escape torment'). Nonetheless +rep to you. :)

Don't worry, I've seen you post alot here and read about your rep situation. Entry accepted.

Yeah work is hell to most people sadly. I've been in torment about 10 years. It's very hard to get out of what your used to and just be so beaten down and tired to look for anything else. Also doesn't help being usually left negative mood after being mistreated alot.

There is always a chance to break away from that although it can be difficult for varying reasons, especially if you don't have any degrees and just some college experience. So my advice is to build resources and referrals.

I do have exciting news though. however I don't want to jinx it much. I have an interview next week and things are finally looking very promising. ^_^

Briareos262: *snip*
10 years is indeed a very long time and it is only natural to get used to the routine drudgery by then as you may become so beaten down that even thought of trying to break free can be scary thing. For that to happen actually you really need to get away from it all to reflect and ponder over your next step, also as you said different circumstances are a major factor as many people do not have resources to fall back even if they have the required experience in some cases.

I myself am in a transitional period in my life where I took a break or rather circumstances dictated that I do so, which allowed me to really think about the next phase in terms of suitable employment but this was only possible because I do not have to worry about making a living in the meantime because of my family but many folks can't afford the same luxury. So, thank you very much for the exemption and also I sincerely wish you the very best of luck for the interview. :)

I would love to enter for "I have no mouth..." as I too know that feeling far too well.
Even though I do have a great boss, work in general can hurt the brain :/
Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm in for Planescape: Torment.
If job is eating your soul, better quit it at any cost.
Posted April 15, 2014
I don't hate my job. I do hate managers sometimes... but that's another issue :P
+1 though :)

Last BUMP for late entrants.

I will be drawing winners tomorrow evening. Good luck to all.
Posted April 18, 2014
While we wait for the drawing (good luck everyone indeed!), I thought I'd leave this, which I also see related to the topic of this thread. I've got to remind myself to check up on my own status in that context periodically.

Briareos262: I dedicate this giveaway to those that slave away at their jobs and hate it dealing with inane insane goals, job bureaucracy of fools day in and day out . I have six bosses to deal with and luckily only 1 is a complete a$$hole and the other one is just a foolish idealist that doesn't understand that most people do not want to sign up for more debt.. I've been there and still there however there is a light out of this dark tunnel. It's never too late to get out and go looking for something, anything that's better. It just takes alot of motivation.

I will draw winners next Friday 4/18. Rep requirement is at least 25 (some exceptions I might pass). You can only be in for yourself.

All games are GOG

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream - this is how I feel almost everyday
Planescape: Torment x 2 - I am always in a plane of torment being there.
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising - hostile people is almost a given daily.
Dracula 4: Shadow Of The Dragon - I feel as though my life blood and soul is drained every day I'm there.
Dungeon Keeper Gold - Trapped in a dungeon indeed.

Good luck to all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------

I'd like to add some wonderful anonymous goger has contributed another Planescape Torment code. So there will be two lucky winners at least. ^_^
