With the promo done and people having bought alot of games, maybe some people would like a text version of their GOG collection and don't know how, without having to type it all by hand, it can be done without and in 10 seconds.

Open an excel sheet.
Go to your My games and do not click the game shelve but the other button (the one closest to the by purchase date)
Now you might get a small or big list depending on your collection, go copy and paste till you have your whole collection copied.
Then in your excel sheet, right click in field A1 and select paste special and select text.
Now you get your collection pasted but it will show alot of empty lines in between, no problem.
You then press the sort button which will sort the empty lines and the games lines, just select all the empty lines with 1 go, right click select delete and shift cells up. You will then have your collection as text.
One can also copy the whole list from there and paste it in a word document.

You can also do it with the "game specific forums" list, with little variation (series treated as a whole).

I have a Google doc with the first column being the game name, the other columns being the services like: GOG, Steam, Desura, Gamersgate etc, and when I buy a game, I add it alphabetically to the spreadsheet and mark with an "x" the service. If there is some unredeemed key, I mark it with [HB] for example... I don't like to keep the keys themselves in the spreadsheet though...
