tfishell: Would UT2004 be worth getting at all just for single player?
Yes, it definitely is. Not only is the singleplayer mode surprisingly good, but the game itself has such an unbelievable amount of mods freely available that it's more like you're actually getting 50 games for your money. Granted, you'll have to go look for all the extra content yourself, but hey, it's free. Naturally, many mods are multiplayer-oriented, but some are merely alterations of the existing gameplay (new maps, player models, weapons, etc.), and there are also several total-conversion single player mods out there.
A FPS promo without Blood...
I was having the "clicking the button to get the game does nothing" problem, so, as an experiment, I disabled Adblock Plus and allowed scripts from Google Analytics (the only thing on the page that was still "Forbidden" in NoScript), and when the page reloaded with the changes, I got the "you'll get yer game soon" message! Apparently it registered my clicks, but something about one or the other of those extensions (Adblock, I'm guessing) was interfering with the clicks being processed. (I'm running up-to-date Firefox, BTW.) That, or it was a complete coincidence.

The worst thing is that, after I finally got the game, I thought to check the system requirements. Everything was OK and met at least the minimum required...except the Radeon HD 8400, which is apparently not quite up to snuff. :/

Bloodygoodgames: Supposedly I managed to grab it but it hasn't shown up. Either in email or in my library. Weird. :)

wolfsrain: Same here.
Have patience. Sometimes the free games like this can take several hours to show up in your account. Ditto with the notification e-mails arriving in your inbox. If it's been more than, say, a day and a half, and still nothing, then contact GOG Support.
Button still doesn't do anything and it goes down fast! o.O
Frontpage still not accesible - only gog bears. Gog should really get some more server capacity when it does giveaways.

Edit: giveaway done everything ok now on frontpage

so, I think I got it, but now the page still seems as if I didn't.

.... well, when the gog bear doesn't show up.

also, unrelated: it's fun, I only saw it a couple times before during sales, yet now... it's like he likes me.(also, if the page gets to load, it's glitchy.... saying there are still 30000 keys, and then not responding to anything)
Been trying for an hour and on different computers/mobiles in order to click the Get Yours button for Rise of the Traid. Nothing is working....kind of disappointed by this.
Free game is on my shelf. :) Everything is OK.
Frontpage is back for me now but without the banner.

Edit: And gone again~

Kinda demotes it to a FFS promo.
No access to the button so I'll miss the game.

I've clicked on the one button two times but nothing happened and the page crashed horribly.

Makes your job easier. Make a tracker topic with just 1 game on it and you're done. :D
