Embrace the Darkness - Giveaway of Darkness
August is my birth month and I've been able to pick up a handful of games from sales in the past few months that I would like to give to you good folks. I realize they are from recent sales and so a lot of people interested in them probably bought them already, but, for those who didn't, here's an opportunity to get them! The GOG forums have really been a light for me in the dark times more than I can express here. There were lots of dark days where just a little bit of community and social interaction with good people did me a lot of good.
There have been a lot of dark times for me this past year+. It's by far been my hardest times of existing on this planet, and I'm not sure if things are going to get easier or harder, either. Things had gotten as bad as I had ever experienced before just over a year ago (I remember it was about 2 weeks before my birthday last year and I was feeling like things were worse than they'd ever been in life), and then things got worse. Then, there was terrible sickness and death, and then some more horrible stuff and then more sickness and death and more and more bad things, all through the winter and spring and now back into the thick of summer still there are bad things befalling me and those I love.
Despair and death and more death and despair and dark times have been abundant all around, not just for me, I know. I think the planet as a whole is in perhaps the darkest of its times (ecologically/environmentally, plants/animals, humanity/civilizations/societies.) Life on the planet in general is being suffocated and suffers from our destructive existence. It is in its most dire of times ever in its existence because of our existence, I am quite sure.
Sometimes I think perhaps facing these dark times is a preparation for more dark times to come, hardening my sensitive self so that I can bear the brutality of a fallen civilization gone mad and murderous even worse than it is now. I temper my thoughts. The human species is in its infancy of existence, and if it lives beyond its infancy, I think it has potential to grow and learn from all of this pain and suffering; as long as we are still able to exist in whatever state we leave everything after the madness settles. Although, sometimes I definitely think it would be better if nature were able to just get rid of us all. I can hope that if perhaps we are here long enough, we will figure out how to clean up all of our messes.
I've always been comfortable with the dark side of things. I believe in balance and that negatives are simply a part of existence, just as are the positives. Facing Truths of existence makes for a better existence. Being able to face the darkness is important in life. Sometimes in order to endure it the best, I think we must embrace it as an experience to be had and realize that the sweet will taste sweeter if you have tasted a more sour sour.
So, now, face and embrace the darkness and I will give some away to you, if you are lucky!
The rules:
- There are four keys in this giveaway and two of them have 2 games on them (a total of 6 games.) Unless you win both of the games from a single key, you must play FRIENDLY and TRUSTWORTHY and only redeem the game that you won and leave the other game on the key to the other winner. If you redeem a game you did not win, I will be very mad and sad and I will do inexplicably-bad things to you.
- If you see someone participating in the GA that you think is not trustworthy even if their rep is above 186, please send me a message with their name and a brief explanation as to why you think they are not trustworthy/shouldn't be allowed to participate.
- You must have a minimum reputation of 186 for the double-key games
- OR minimum rep. of 86 for the single-key games
- OR have created a giveaway that I have entered (link it please),
- OR have ever gifted me a game (whether it was a freebie, something you won in a GA, or whatever),
- OR, make an appeal to me via chat with a convincing reason/plea - I might make an exception (since 186 is somewhat arbitrary.)
- You can only enter for yourself and you must redeem the game(s) on the account with which you entered. You must have a real interest in playing the game, and your computer must be able to run the game.
- The GA will close when I feel like it, sometime in the month of August. It could be in a week, it could be on the 31st.
- Everyone entering has TWO entries to use! Enter for 2 games or enter twice for 1 game to increase your chances of getting that game. This allows people who are only interested in 1 game a more even chance of winning with those who enter for 2 and I thought it would be an interesting way to do a GA.
These are all games that I like and think are good and fun and interesting in their own ways. Also, of course, they are all DARK in their own ways.
the games:
· Nox (key 1)
· Clive Barker's Undying (key 1)
· Inquisitor (key 2)
· Pathologic (key 2)
· Chronicles of Riddick (key 3)
· PRIMORDIA (key 4)
