It's the Independence Day of Finland again, and I'm holding a giveaway, again.
Here's a history lesson for those not in the know:
A long, long time (like 95 years) ago, some Finnish government guys decided that we're old and adult enough to move out and live on our own. They quickly contacted some Russian government guys and told 'em "Yo, we's movin' out, fo' shizzle" and the Russians were all like "...k", which was mighty nice of them.
A year ago I held a giveaway to commemorate that. Back then GOG only had 2 Finnish games, so I gave away both. Now GOG suddenly has a bunch of 'em, and I'm just a poor student and wasn't clever enough to buy 'em when they were on sale, so I'm just going to give the same games I gave last year (Flatout and Shadowgrounds), and a bonus one from Russia (Eador: Genesis is a Russian game, right?), because it's kind of cool and so was letting us go independent without a big hairy fight.
So, I'm giving away
-1 Flatout
-1 Shadowgrounds
-1 Eador: Genesis
To participate, do at least one of the following:
1: Post something in Finnish. There are added conditions: no cursing, no booze/drug words, nothing disturbing. The whole post doesn't need to be in Finnish, so you can begin with Finnish and have commentary in English after it. Also, needs to have more than 1 word in Finnish, and no copying other people's Finnish bits (parts can be the same, but there needs to be some originality) :p
2: Tell me (in this thread, not by PM) your favorite Finnish song that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet (so if your favorite has been mentioned, pick the second favorite etc.)
...and mention which games you want. The winners will be decided by a random draw after about 18 hours, so that's around 20:30 GMT+2 (6th of December). I think that about covers it and was presented in sufficiently complex way.
/edit: The giveaway has ended.
