I'm in for Divinity: Original Sin.

I'm mainly into turn-based games, because I'm worthless with anything requiring fast reactions and precise movements. I also like games with lots of little details and quirky characters that flesh out the setting and make exploring an environment worthwhile. Party members that contribute to a story or situation because of their personality (and sometimes back-story) rather than just being stats for combat are pretty rare, so for these reasons I think Divinity: Original Sin will be a good match for me.

Picking a fantasy movie or novel isn't easy for me. These days I only read non-fiction and most fantasy movies aren't all that great.

For the purpose of this drawing, I'll mention the first Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. It's a fairly straight forward melodramatic fantasy epic. Its focus is on Thomas Covenant who was a successful author from our earth. He develops Leprosy, loses his wife, all social connections, and succumbs to depression . He gets into an accident that puts him into a coma. While still in the coma Covenant awakens in a different reality where he is told that he's some kind of savior of the oppressed people of this new land. Thinking he's dreaming, Covenant selfishly and cruelly abuses those who have faith in him. Despite his many weaknesses of character and actions, he is lead to confront the oppressor, "Lord Foul".

The focus of this morality tale is the nature of reality and the repercussions of actions taken even if "dreaming" in a coma. Heavy handed and somewhat forced narrative to be sure, but the first trilogy is still a standout for me.
Though not in, really great giveaway. Just wanted to come say that.
I'm in for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

I'll be upgrading my graphics card to at least a GTX 570 Ti if I win TW3 (that should run it I believe).

This is what it looked like when I had two hard drives in it when I made it(2012):

Thanks for the giveaway! +1

Edit: Also the reason I want this game is because I REALLY liked the 2nd game, I didn't play the first one that far (had linux/wine problems with the textures) but I really wanted to. TW3 seems to be a awesome game by a awsome company under gog so what's not to like? :P

I'm in for Bullfrog Complete Bundle.

I guess I'd play Theme Hospital first.

A few hundred years ago humans thought fire salamanders were immune to fire and threw them into fires to extinguish them.
Before I edit my post to comply with the rules, regarding the witcher 3. I'm not planning on playing it at release because I want to avoid hype, bugs, wait for mods and take advantage of cheaper hardware. With that in mind, would I still be eligible?

I'm in for The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt

I greatly enjoyed The Witcher 2 and it looks like it will be mostly the same, only better and in an open world too and I can't wait to play it. I didn't play either The Witcher or The Witcher 2 until the Enhanced Edition had arrived and I learned my lesson of how fun it is to play a game with less bugs and less hype, the way it's intended more or less without outside influence or annoying obstacles in the way.

My computer.

A little too many cables but at least I've great air cooling inside.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-4670K @ 3.4GHz
Nvidia Gigabyte GTX470 1.2GB VRAM
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Asus Gryphon z97 Armor Edition
Intel SSD 120GB, WD Green 2TB

Due to the lack of size on my SSD I'll likely install the game on my WD which incidentally usually is not an issue even if I enjoy the access speed with a SSD.

I plan to upgrade the GPU (GTX970 at least) close to next summer 2015 when I plan to play Witcher 3. Possibly a larger SSD and more RAM if I feel I need it.

I'm in for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

First of all, thank you for a truly generous and great giveaway. Those three games and especially the bundle cannot have been a cheap purchase and I really admire this and you.

Now, why would I want to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?
When I joined GOG.com a bit more than a year ago, I initially came to buy the two first games of the Broken Sword series. Then I noticed that The Witcher (the first game of the series) can be bought here, and that GOG.com actually has close connections to the developers of this game. I always wanted to try this (awesome) game, the old RPG-fanatic that I am, so I finally bought it.
And a new world full of exciting stories and atmosphere opened itself for me.

I've played the first game and the second one several times since, enjoying everything every single time. So, of course, I really, really, really have to play the third game.
I haven't bought it yet, because I normally don't pre-order stuff (for various reasons). I was really tempted, but decided to wait for the actual release. (I also don't like regional pricing at all, but would have made one, and only one, exception for this game.)

So, now I'd like to enter and go for it. I will buy the game anyway if I don't win though, just to be clear. (Who wouldn't, this game must be awesome.)


Now to my gaming rig. I'll attach a picture of it to this post (yes, I'll clean it tomorrow, I do so every two weeks), but since it's hard to recognize the (important) parts:

Motherboard: Z77 Extreme4
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz
RAM: 16GB (DIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1333 MHz)
GPU: Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition

I'm actually not sure whether the game will run with these components. I have enough RAM, that's for sure and the CPU should be fine too. The GPU might be a problem. I don't expect to play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with ultra-high settings, but I'm fine with medium anyway.
If the game won't run, I'll buy a new GPU (I don't know which one at all, I'll do that when the time comes).

Wow, a rather long post. I hope I've included everything important.
Thanks again for doing this, and a happy new year to all of you.


Edit: I can't attach pictures for any reason right now, so here is the link to an external source.

I'm not in because... Wow. Those are some expensive games to giveaway at random, and I'd feel kind of guilty if I won one (unless it was from some sort of official promotion for the game).

But regardless, not sure if I'll have a rig to run Witcher 3 by time it comes out... I'm hoping to upgrade my machine this year, though there's a lot of variables that will factor into how good that build is. Besides, I could never justify someone buying a digital game for 40+ USD, and would feel really guilty if I got one that cost that much.

Still, good luck to everyone that's entering!
Damn, nice giveaway, not in but kudos for you. +1
I am in for WItcher III because if I was in for any other game, my kids would mutiny. I love a good open world RPG, and I am hoping that the WItcher 3 can replace Skyrim as my favorite.

I am running AMD CPUs in all but 1 of my rigs..

My Rig: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) 8GB RAM AMD Radeon 7790 GPU 1TB main HDD
2 - 2TB HDD running RAID for mirroring to keep my apps and data protected.

Eldest son has Intel i7 with 8GB of RAM and a Geforce 470 I think with an upgraded fan that I installed.

Wife runs AMD 760K Richland Quad-Core 3.8GHz 8GB RAM Radeon 7570

Other Son runs older ADM dual core 2.8Ghz with 4GB RAM and Radeon 6670

girls computer is a dual core intel that will prolly not run the game, but the Sims 3 runs like a champ so they are happy.

not in +1 for generosity

Guess what it's NEW YEARS EVE in OZ.....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL...
11 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES TO GO....
I'm in for Divinity:Original Sin

I saw some short LPs on Youtube and I'm already super hyped to play it!
I simply adore fantasy, RPGs and loot.

My favorite movie\book is obviously LOTR (even if GoT series is perfect so far).

A short synopsys? Mm I'm not very good a that, but I'll try:
"An ancient evil has risen again and the force of good are shattered and overwhelmed.
The only hope resides in a tiny creature, an hobbit called Frodo, whose tranquil life is going to be undermined by a simple discovery in his home, an old ring.
The little man will have to voyage through dangerous lands to fulfill his destiny and prove that even the smallest beigs can make a difference through will and courage"

: )

+1 for the fantastic giveaway.

Good luck to the participants.
These are great games but I got nice gifts these month and a huge backlog so I won't be in.

Thank you very much for these and a good 2015 for all.

Most certainly. I only ask that winners redeem the codes for themselves. When you actually play the game is totally up to you. :)
