Google scavenger hunt.

spindown: I would suggest a MS Paint contest that works kind of like Pictionary. You name a (preferably abstract) word and everyone submits a picture drawn in Paint. The one you like best wins.
Rockin' idea as well!

The other day I wanted to create something like this, but strictly related to videogames. I failed miserably :-)

So, maybe for the fourth contest, whoever can connect as many games as they can from your list above in six steps or less, win the game.

Austrobogulator: Google scavenger hunt.
I've actually never heard of that. How does it work?

Can I post more?
Similar to princegumby's suggestion; haiku contest.

I'm aware that this isn't the best choice for the next contest, since you want to do that one today and that wouldn't leave you with enough time for preparation, but I'm personally waiting (and hoping) for a contest on GOG that involves playing games, simply because (good and old) games are the very reason for people to hang out around GOG.
That could be anything from a little poker tournament to a shooter 'fight it out'.
There are plenty of free games around the internet and a good deal of them involves some form of multi-player support.

Neither have I; it was just something I came up with. So pick a few things (pages, images etc...) on the internet and get people to find those things and post evidence of their search here.

For example: "find the page of the infamous 8.8 review of a Zelda game at Gamespot"

Similar to the Google Scavenger hunt, I put forth Google Seppuku. Find a random phrase in a language you don't know, turn off Google safe search, search in images and see how long you go until you find something that makes you want to scrub your eyes with bleach.

or "find the world famous john romero poster" :D

First of all, I love every single one of these suggestions! I think I will use all of them.

But as far as stuff I had never thought about before, Spindown's suggestion totally surprised me:

Therefore, I'm picking Spindown as the winner of this contest! PM me a game of your choice.

I'm not going to use this idea just yet, though. I think I'm going to go with the haiku one for #4 and save abstract pictionary for a rainy day.

There will be more chances. This reply is not haiku. ;)

Woohoo, thank you! Can you put me on the "I owe you" list for now? I can't really make up my mind right now and it's way past bedtime for me. Thanks again!

Sure!
Contest 4 is up - the last one for the moment.

Though, I will be posting a 5th contest immediately after that, but winner won't be selected for a day or two for the 5th contest.
