On the last day of the weekend, we have two different contests for you all, giving you a final chance to win big before we resume our regular and humdrum week tomorrow.

For the brainy among you, we have a cryptogram. Decipher the hidden meaning behind the text below, send the full plain text (and an explanation how you deciphered it!) to us with the subject line, "GOG.com 2011 Cryptogram Contest". From all of the correct entries, we'll pull one lucky winner who gets 10 free $5.99 or $9.99 GOG.com games.

If you're feeling artsy instead, we have an alternative for you. It's coming up on the holiday season, and we'd like you to put on your advertiser hats. Make us an outdoor ad that you think would be an awesome GOG.com holiday advertisement. Whether you want to make a billboard by the side of the road, a clever bench, a bus stop ad, or even silkscreen an entire bus with an awesome GOG.com advertisement, let's see what you think this year's GOG.com holidays should be about. Email your best GOG.com advertisement to [url=mailto:contest@gog.com?subject=GOG.com 2011 Advertisement]contest@gog.com[/url] with the subject line "GOG.com 2011 Advertisement" to enter. We will select some of our favorites from the entries and each winner will get 5 free $5.99 or $9.99 games from our catalog.

Since both of these contests represent something a little harder than the previous ones, we'll give you until 6.59 EST on Tuesday (15.11.11) to come up with your entry. We'll announce all of our contest winners on Wednesday, so keep tuned.

Put on those thinking caps, and let's see what you've got!
Cryptogram!

GOG.com: (and an eplanation how you decipheed it!)
Shouldn't be eXplanation & deciphered?

EDIT: or it's intentionally..:-)
EDIT2: apparently it's not a clue :-(

Cool, I'll look into a code in the evening but don't think I'll manage to solve it.

Have fun with that one, kids. I am not hardly an experienced cryptographier (I am relatively sure that is not a word), but I tried to come up with one that is tricky to solve without requiring you just brute force it. We'll see if I'm right about that. >.>

Dangit. I edited that this morning before coffee; you can see the unfortunate result.

It may be that I've been up 36 hours, but the cryptogram I may be on the path to solving already....

I hope not, I hate/suck at these.
i am not artsy or intelligent enough to participate with either.
I don't think I've ever seen a cryptogram consisting purely of 2 letter... words? Probably not.

it can be if you put them together afterward. like TH IS AS EN TE NC E!

Yeah. Or some combination of two letters represents an empty space between words?
TI TS on second row. Obviously the key to solving this.

Tits > Romance > I bet this is a poem or a sonnet, at least based on it's looks > Shakespeare

Didn't help THAT much...

Yay, some cipher :D

GOG.com: lucky winner who gets 10 free $5.99 or GOG.com games
uhm.. what? :D so... $5.99 is the real money prize?

that's always the key to solving things
Well...I taught the code was a ADFGX-like (used by germans in the WW2), but I I was wrong...
You can't use it to decipher the text.

Don't be silly :D
It would actually be $59.90 ;)
