As you know, I love you all a great deal. In an attempt to express this love, <b>I'm going to give away one game every Friday for the entire month of June.</b> <p> If you want a chance to receive some of this love, read on: The screenshot for one of the games listed in the Tome has been replaced with a picture of a turnip like the one on the right (Lynx users: the ALT text for the image simply reads "turnip", rather than "screenshot for xxx"). Find the turnip, click on it, and you'll be presented with a contest entry form. Submit the form and you're entered in the next drawing! Each Friday in June, I'll award a copy of either <em>The Offering</em> or <em>Colossus</em> to an entry that I select at random. After a winner is selected, I'll delete the rest of the entries, hide the turnip someplace else, and the contest will begin again. <em>If I draw your name and then discover from my server logs that you did something really dorky like grab my whole site with wget, I'll cheerfully toss out your entry and select another. So there.</em> <p> The first prize will be awarded on Friday, June 4. It will be a copy of <em>Quake: The Offering</em> for Linux. <p> Now go find that turnip! | Let's play Find The Turnip! | default |
