'Cause you know our rhymes are wack
Feel the beat--you can't go back
It's a free game rap attack
If you wanna win then take a crack

GOG.com, as you possibly know, has turned five. In celebration of us turning five, we like to have gifts for you--let's face it, if not for you, we wouldn't be here.

Our selection is perfection and our service is rad
Put in on a USB and take it out of your pad
Don't have to worry 'bout your login or being online
Your computer has it easy,Mac and Windows are fine
Let's make this a battle. =)

:starting to beatbox:

Two years or so ago I came looking for a game
There on gog it was I-War 2 was the name
It was priced so cheap that I couldn't pass
My first deedee game there on my shelf it was
Since then I stayed on gog like sticky glue
Whatfore do you ask I do not have a clue
Here you can find that game that is a classic gem
And whaddayouknow these have no dee-ar-em
So gog dot com is now five years old
Still fourty five to go for it's being gold
You can't contemplate that it is pretty cool
As they sell games that will make you drool

:scratching record:

We're the masters of Orion, we're patrolling the stars
Dropping more bonuses than dubious ingredients in grog
Don't ask us for our papers, SCUMM- we've made it this far
Five years' experience with games as the notorious GOG

It doesn't matter if there's genres you specifically favor
From Anodyne to Zork, each game is bursting with flavor
"They have no DRM, and I must scream" will be your diction
When you point and click your way through all this interactive fiction

Strategy, adventure, role-playing, action
We've even starting selling to the indie game faction
Platformers, racers, shootemups and sims
The only negative is how your wallet gets slim

Our super-massive sales will leave you begging for more
As if you've never bought a dozen games discounted before
Our business model's built on ever-growing affection
For the titles you keep adding to your backlogged collection

With all this crazy goodness, even we have our detractors
Who claim that all we do is bundle games with DOSBox
In reality, our fans know that we juggle lots of factors
Leave'em to their hating cuz' these good old games rock
Do we submit entries by just posting them here? [if so, this is NOT my entry]
Although we lack
The ability to spell "whack"
What matters is that
We always got your back
When it comes to games
Whether old or new
Just visit Gee-oh-gee
And you'll be good to go


...I tried :( Rap's really not my thing.
My attempt to rap... about my experience on GOG

I came here to help my friend find Lords of magic,
cause without it his life was really tragic.

Then I stumbled upon Might & Magic 7,
and it brought me to nostalgia heaven.

C'mon GOG, how can you be so nice?
Everyday providing us with gaming paradise.

You welcome us with your DRM-free might,
without a troubling disclaimer on your site.

Thank you GOG, for being what you are,
a force of good and our brightest burning star.

------------------------------EDIT------------------------------------

This is the 2nd time around,
cause i gotta stand my ground.

I really want those games,
so here are my rapping flames.

G-O-G making life grand,
G-O-G I know you understand.

G-O-G is the place to be,
G-O-G everything is DRM-free.

G-O-G it's about damn time,
G-O-G it's the nostalgia rhyme.

G-O-G is the future of today
G-O-G listen to me say.

G-O-G putting the games first,
G-O-G quench the nostalgia thirst.

G-O-G you know what it means,
G-O-G even better than it seems.

G-O-G the best gaming deal,
G-O-G the way it should feel.

G-O-G is truly the best,
G-O-G wiping the floor with the rest.

Those good old days
Makes Good Old Games
From time to time
Good old games need to be revisited
That's why you have Good Old Games
To get some good old games

My life is so successfull
GOG got everything a person could ever need
From a 59,99€ Call of Duty
To a 9,99$ shock in the system
The shock is always the best

My first draft:

Gee-Oh-Gee.
Is the skeleton key.
To unlock fun.
They can't be outdone.
All their games, of course, are DRM-free.
"You buy it, you own it!" is their guarantee.
"One world, fair price." is their simple motto.
Whether you live in a Hollywood mansion or an Afghan grotto.
When most digital stores tell you to get bent.
GOG delivers heaps of exclusive content.
Wallpapers, artworks and avatars by the stacks.
Manuals, videos and rockin' soundtracks.
Free games, complete support and extra compatibility.
Are all delivered from their secret Warsaw facility.
They're the coolest digital distributer in the Milky Way.
And they're celebrating their fifth birthday.
May they acheive all their goals and become outrageously rich.
May their enemies fail and end up in a ditch.
They came into existence in 2008.
World domination is their fate.

Just because we love good old games, they gotta took this name, nowadays it's standard for the vanguard, to drop

some classics to the traffic and here's it possible to download everything completely drm-free (yaw and you'll see,

gee oh gee, it's me yo *peep# ) .
These are no free, heroic verses or heptameters,
If that´s not what makes you rise your meters,
there´s this your´s truly friendly store,
dealing with games from the days of yore,
DRM free -
completely unprotected - that´s how they like them to be.

You´re into stories? Involving gameplay and RPG?
Then wait no longer and head to G.O.G.!
Please, don´t mistake them for Biblical evil powers,
they would rather turned you into Austin Powers!

With Flowers and flamethrowers!
Oops! - Pyro is not here - he´s from different retailers,
Sometime he likes to get up his Steam,
But heck! - We still like him - he´s just from different team!

Exciting characters, places, stories of recognition?
Then you´re definitely here for latest Cognition.
One last episode from the fictional life of Erica Reed
is just the thing player like you need.

SWAG! - I don´t even know what it means,
But it rhyme quite good with Lost Vikings,
Such a storm (also Blizzard) of Wonderful ideas,
But I digress - Let´s say to this interlude ¡Buenos días!
and let´s move on from this rambunctious uttering:

Casual gamer? Story based games aren´t what makes your heart sing?
we have shooters, platformers and EnigmaticT´s ramblings,
his Mallet of Loving Correction and other such things
Mr. Walrus approves – he even speaks!

It is said that S.P.E.C.I.A.L. was created in less than a week,
Heck, I have to finish much sooner this fortunate streak!

Nobody expects Spanish Inquisition!
Though Conquistadores are on completely different Expediton.
Einstein, Ghandi, Warhol, Debussy or Ike,
There are some games where even Jar-Jar would say: "Missa gonna like!"

Wing commander, Ultima, Theme games are quite Populous,
X- Wing, Black&White and Jedis are missing from the populace!

Immersive sim and taffin´ stealin´ in real life?
Is that what you like?
People calling you names, like Thief and lice?
Well, you should Shock then systematically, at least Twice!

I mean, Shodan is quite pretty,
for malignous AI, which constantly looses integ-g-rity,
What? reality is too gritty

for you? well, then come and get some Divne:Divinity!
Otherwise, play some Fallout! It´s downright nitty-girtty!

Horrific Amnesias and Slender dark forests,
You ought to find some Shelter, or you won´t get any rest.

There are many other games to which I don´t know any rhymes,
But c´mon, people! Just loose them some dimes!

It´s getting constantly harder to make this thing rhyme,
"Parlez-vous Français?" My verses are not particularly sublime.

So I just decided that´ll end it right here,
there´s just one thing I won´t refrain from commenting, dear:

Every good story knows when to end, when author will say: "I end thee!"
Common sense for proper legends - that´s why Witchers will be only 3.
Yo GOG, drop that back-beat boiii!

Seriously though, you should put up a downloadable sound-clip to background our lyrics.

Edit: Screw it, I did it myself. Here's the back-beat used in the GOG video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfio446gcwsymik/GOG.comBirthdayRapContest.wav

Now to write some lyrics....

It's the G-O-G, there is none higher
Origin and Steam should just retire
No D-R-M, it's just for suckers
Promoting that shit's for motherfuckers

Competitors are just witless, you know they're scared shitless
They're not Gary Coleman and they're definitely not Willis

People always ask , "G-O-G, what's with that name?"
G's for always Good, O-G's for Oldie Games

Every game we sell, we break expectations
We're not American, we're from the Polish nation
Other digi-sellers are in great frustration
'Cause G-O-G's word-of-mouth is a sensation

We're causin fun times, for those on PCs
Cause all our games are always DRM-free
I'm a street fighter alpha
I'll run rings around you sages
You know my hocus pocus
kills redneck rampages

Just call me Rayman, forever
with my partner Ittle Dew
We're crusaders with no regrets
We'll go gangland on you

We spit realms of chaos
on a quest for glory
We'll take it to the moon
are you diggin' my story?

We are beyond divinity
beyond good and evil
(not much rhymes with evil
except boll weevil!)

You think we live in an odd world?
You'll feel a stranger's wrath
We'll spin your head with games
for Windows and for Mac!

But we're running out of steam
pun intended
so it's time this little rap
is ended
Install Gentoo, what's that?
We got old games, not new,
No time for Linux that's a System with no Shock,
At least that's what I say before you hit me with a rock
An equippable item in The Guild is a sock

Win-doez 8 gettin up my grill
Deprecatin ddraw slappin my hill
No problem tho cuz I'm the Gee Oh Gee
Get it workin on all except the Pee Ess Three

My homeboy Geralt, whiter than Trevor
Tough guy but he sings in a tenor
Y'all be Goggin
'n' he be doggin
Mm. And he's good at it too
Witcher calls Rivia his woman zoo

Cept he don't come from there.
Got white hair.

Yo.

Gee oh gee.

In the hiz zee.

Yeh dats right
