It's our birthday, and we'll rap if we want to!

'Cause you know our rhymes are wack
Feel the beat--you can't go back
It's a free game rap attack
If you wanna win then take a crack

GOG.com, as you possibly know, has turned five. In celebration of us turning five, we like to have gifts for you--let's face it, if not for you, we wouldn't be here. So check out the video with our mad phat beatz yo, laid by MC Enigmatic and the famous DJ Russkat, and then if you're inspired, feel free to drop us lyrics of your own! We'll collect all of the best lyrics and award up to four people 5 GOG.com games of their choice in exchange for their permission to use their lyrics in a proper GOG Birthday Rap video. We may even spring for proper moving pictures for the next one!

Please send us all of your submissions (by which we mean: leave a comment below in the forums) by Friday 20 September 2013 at 0900 Eastern time to enter into the contest.

He's like Tupac.

Kunovski: I hate rap and hip-hop but this is kind of fun to listen to :)

I could try and write some lyrics, but NO WAY am I going to record myself rapping! that would be a social suicide around here :)
I should clarify: you write the lyrics and submit them. We'll record the ones we like best ourselves.

mattroks101: I really want to do this now. Can we record it ourselves, or do we have to just write the lyrics out?
Whichever makes you happier. :)

Leroux: I can imagine, because if you love rap and hip hop listening to this is no fun at all. ;)

Sure. But you can only win once.

Well, it had to happen. We tried to pretend like it never happened – but it definitely happened.
Introducing the grand GOG.com Birthday Rap Contest winners:

<span class="bold">DrRoxo</span> — You can listen to it! We appreciate the time and effort(?) you put into this one. We give it an "A" for affront!

<span class="bold">MaximumBunny</span> — Getting any sort of flow going in text is a toughie. So big points for making the most of the format with "No misdirection, every reflection of our intention has been molded into convention". Whatever that means.

<span class="bold">Novotnus</span> — Short and sweet. Thank you. We appreciate it. Really.

<span class="bold">Barry_Woodward</span> — Cute. But then... who was rap?




Congrats to each of our four winners, who get to pick any 5 games from the GOG.com catalog! They just don't make these contests like they used to, huh? Our sincere apologies for being so late to the party — we'll be in touch with the winners soon. :)

hummer010: Wow! You just awarded prizes in a contest that is almost three years old!! I guess better late than never?

Is there any hope for the Jailhouse Stock contest? Or do we have to wait another two years ....

Well done Konrad! That was even before your account was registered.
Nuh uh! Not before my original, personal account. I first registered back in 2009.
