... and win yourself some free games from GOG's catalogue!

[url=http://www.gog.com/upload/forum/2011/03/4f3963e21328f65bce5d80dbe26b57cd8dff1e7b.jpg" target="blank][/url]PAX East, the three-day festival for all fans of tabletop, video and PC games, is getting closer with every minute. The gamers holiday will take place in Boston, USA, from 11th till 13th of March. Unfortunately we won't be attending this year's edition, so we'd like to ask those of you who are going to PAX East for some help. Attached here, you'll find a [url=http://www.gog.com/upload/forum/2011/03/4f3963e21328f65bce5d80dbe26b57cd8dff1e7b.jpg" target="blank]ready-to-print GOG logo[/url]. We'd like to ask you to take the logo with you to PAX and make a photo of yourself (with the logo) and industry's celebrities, cosplayers or the few booth babes that maybe will appear at the Expo. Just take an example from [url=http://www.gog.com/upload/forum/2011/03/285e91592d3d799715c4b09df61aadd6fcf8a3b0.jpg" target="blank]TheEnigmaticT posing with one of our testers[/url] :).

Post your pictures in this thread or send them in at users@gog.com until March 18, at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Out of all entries we will pick our 10 favourite photos and reward their authors with a free game code.

The GOG guys are the MacGuyvers of marketing.
Seriously - imagine you were tasked with finding a way to spread awareness at a convention... without having physical access to it.

I'm not sure bribing someone else to do it is really a McGuyver sort of solution.

Now, if the solution involved an empty can, a toothpick, a straw, a can of kerosene and a pair of skis, it'd be a different story.

So rather than bribe you with the chance to win games, they bribe you with one-use rocket-powered skis?

No, they tie the skis together, attach a GOG.com banner and launch them unmanned in the general direction of the gaming convention. Duh.

SimonG: I'm no native speaker, but doesn't cheap have a rather negative connotation in english? Don't most stores use words like "bargain" or "inexpensive" to avoid this?

Apart from that, it is a nice idea and fits into the whole "GOG underdog" concept.

Daedalus1138: I suppose it does sometimes, as it can give the impression that it is of low quality.
I'd say 'cheap' is fairly neutral. 'Bargain' has too many syllables and sounds like a car dealer. 'Inexpensive' is pretentious.
