oh, no, what the…wait….is the world coming to an end? No give away till tuesday? It must be armageddon, it just has to be. Lol…any way, thanks for the heads up, and keep up the great work.
Awww :-(
But no worries. Keep up your great work!
Thanks for all your efforts in bringing great and occasionally not-so-great ;-) software to us each day!
I’m new to this site,2wks actually, but I do appreciate the ability tto receive the software/games offered. Thank you GOTD.
Why were’nt there any games this weekend at game giveaway of the day?
I thought there were supposed to be giveaways every Sat. & Sun. The last game offerd was 9-18 brave dwarf which I tried over & over to d/load and run but when I tried to run it I kept getting an error message or it would just shut down saying prog encountered problems needs to close. All other games you offered run fine.
And I thought you were going to offer “pdf to word” again since the first one didn’t work. Instead you offered “pdf to html”.
always busy can’t even put games for all this weekend or last weekend you will lose people and lose any ad revenue and be out of a job you need to do a better job bunch of crap software and games lately
No offense to the previous commenter but…more click 3’s? OMG how many repeats of the same type of game must exist. Every time I see one more I think… not again.
Since I was busy on multiple projects over the weekend I didn’t even know the games were not up for grabs. LOL. Thanks for the post concerning tech work. See you tomorrow.
I would like to make a request.
I would like GOTD or Whiterabbit to find and post some logic games.
Not Soduko!!
Sudoko does not make sense to me.
I cannot figure it out.
My example of a logic game to me is this
Keep up the GREAT work! I am a software developer and I know how hard it is to keep up with the never ending software. So many times the description is so misleading. However, the GOTD team continues to give us fantastic programs.
To all the whiners out there:
Did you people forget that you get this software FREE?
Have you become so ungrateful that now you COMPLAIN when you don’t get a handout? If you can’t appreciate the things that are offered, get off the website!
You people are the best..Enjoy your day off and keep the good stuff coming. I, for one, have gotten lots of good and useful progs that I would have never known about, thanks to your efforts!
thanks for all the effort guys, I’ve done stuff like this where the most common this you hear is a negative comment. thanks for the effort time and money you put into this. please keep it up.
Thanks,
Pat S.
Perhaps a more in depth explanation and the effects of what your technical problems are would be beneficial to eliminating the negative lack of software comments. I have a feeling that this current technical problem also prohibited the game offering for the weekend. Like I just said, a more in depth explanation would be helpful.
As for me personally, in your game searches, if you can come up with some good vertical shooters and/or RPG’s, it would be great.
I’ve been coming here for years, and look forward to more good offerings.
Except, Elsie, I like pick 3s. After all, what type of game hasn’t been endlessly cloned? Which, if you think of it, isn’t so bad after all. Hopefully, the team will continue to mix it up so that most everybody will get a chance to get something they like, even if its in the long run. That’s all we can reasonably hope for. You never know when something that gets a huge percentage of thumbs up, like yesterday’s gotd did, will come along. I think that makes it worth a little patience. I assume most of us do.
No problem - the delay gives me more time to play with yesterday’s freebie, PD Particles. That is really a slick program, if you’re into creating digital art. And you can’t beat the price…
I can’t believe all the selfish people who are complaining because they can’t get something for nothing today.
This is a wonderful site, and we should all be appreciative of the hard work that goes into maintaining it as well as finding software and games to give out.
Thanks for keeping us posted… and for all of you that are upset about not getting something for free.. check the forums. There are people there that are trying to fill in the gap with download offers!
GOTD team.. keep up the good work.. most of us DO appreciate the efforts you have put into this!
WHEN I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING THE FIRST THING I DO IS BOOT UP MY PC. AND CHECK YOU SITE… BUT IM SUPRISED YOU HAVEN’T HAD GAMES IN SOO LONG… BUT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND STAY FROSTY! =)
I’ve been coming to this site for about a year now. I love what you guys do. And Stephen, you rock. I’m a wanna be who’s lacking the brain cells (child of the 70’s and all that) to be a tech head. So I really appreciate your reviews. And to all you whiners out there… Whah f…n whah. (sorry bubby i’m trying to be polite) My thought for people who complain about whats free….get a job and buy what you want. Then maybe you’ll have something to do instead of coming here.
To all you ppl complaining there are no free games. Sheez, how can you complain about FREE! They are doing this as a courtesy. I do believe this is NOT their full time job. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard for them to just quit giving software for free. At least be GREATFUL for what you DO get for FREE.
Thanks for letting us know, GAOTD, and thanks for all the great programs you’ve offered us in the 6-7 months since I heard about this site. The program I use the most is EverNote. The games I like the most are Around the World in 80 Days and Ozzy Bubbles. But I’ve also started using free programs I heard about on this site, including Launchy (indispensable), Revo Uninstaller, and Essential PIM.
For those who liked Magnifying Glass Pro, which was given away a couple of months ago, Bits du Jour is offering it (today only) for $11.73. I just found out about their site about a month ago, and this offer saved me. I don’t use the glass much but I got a message when I opened it yesterday (ironically, so I could read the GAOTD forums more comfortably, since I can’t see my monitor very well with my old-style bifocal glasses)that my license expires in 7 days. I emailed the developer, but don’t expect to hear anything since others who had the same problem reported a poor response. I can’t afford the $25 purchase price but can afford the $12 from Bits du Jour. Here’s the Bits du Jour link: http://www.bitsdujour.com/
I live in Charlotte, NC - home of Wachovia. We lost one of our largest banks today, we have no gas here, stocks tanked today and now the last glimmer of light has been snuffed out until tomorrow…
Not a problem, considering all we get from you guys, FOR FREE. To the complainers, just think about how much you would have had to spend to get everything you have downloaded here, and give the gang a break! Me, I’m mourning all my lost GAoTD stuff since my PC forgot it has a Windows drive last week , but I’m looking forward to the new programs that will be offered!
I can’t believe how rude some of you are about occasional lapses in this valuable and FREE (to the user) service. It’s like junkies missing a hit. I now have a number of programs that I cannot imagine being without. And I didn’t pay a dime. Thanks muchly, GOTD
Yes, this is sad, but I entirely understand, what GOTD must be going through, as I own a website myself. Sorry, it’s a private website, no links. I understand though.
-Webmaster
LOVE!!! the click 3 games…don’t care if a whole bunch of them are on there. Treasure of Montezuma was awesome…wish I had that one-could that be run again? I’m not a gamer type of person, if I were I wouldn’t be on this site, but a nice game to unwind with is appreciated. LOVED the Golden Prague game; would be fun to see more of that. The pdf to word was an excellent utility. Thanks for all the hard work GAOTD!!
Forgot to mention…
To many people use :)’s! Even the moderators of a Yahoo! rated site use :)’s?! Rated in Google’s PageRank as 5/10, and they use :)’s?! That is not pro-like.
Just giving my opinion,
-Webmaster
I tried in vain to dl the Sept 28 software and had no luck. What should I do? Am I out of luck? I tried to mail you but did not find a telephone number. Thx. I do like your site- it just did not work for me last night.
Yes, Match 3’s! There are good Match-3 games and bad ones. And yes we had a run on them at one point, but there’s been very few lately. (Around the world in 80 days was most excellent). And we’ve finished those. How about here’s to more good games of any type.
There for awhile we kept hearing, “Not another Arkanoid game!” Now it’s Match 3.
PLEASE, keep the weekend games coming….I still wish we had them everyday, like we did before!!! Anyway, thanks for all the awesome games and software!!!
WOW!People get crabby! Maybe they should find another site that gives away absolutely free software with no catches. I love your site, and I can manage a day or two wait before I get another free title. Keep up the good work!
I think they went on vacation again I wish I had a job where I could go on vacation every two weeks and stay gone for months on end. Someone else needs to start a sight for free game downloads not enough Competition out there. So best of luck to you guy’s I hope you done have to rely on this site for your lively hood, because I cant image it pays will when thinks are not working.
Thx ppl for all of your hard work in bring us free software & games. I sure do hope that all will be ok for you again soon, so maybe there won’t be so many whiners! I’m 66 yrs young & am just getting into using a PC, & I have lots of games; Some I downloaded from your sight, & the rest I bought the software for from PC World @ very reasonable prices. They also have some free stuff as well from time to time. But I do enjoy checking your site to see if you have anything I can use,need, or want! Thx again for everything. C Ya L8R, Skeeter651942
Great site……Although the one program I really wanted I missed last friday…the macro task creator….man, I might just have to make this page my homepage for firefox so I always remember to check it
Hello dear Slava,
Am wondering what happened, have not gotten an GOTD program email offer for a few days now.
Subscribed again, and still nothing.
Are the offers temporarily (or God forbid!) completely suspended?
Thanks for your attention,
With very best regards,
Eldad
I just want to congratulate you in the work you do to get this free software to us. Keep it up.
I would appreciate it if the trial software that has a built in stopper could be clearly identified from unlimited use free software so I don’t get my hopes up when using a trial version that is really great and I can’t afford to buy the upgrade.
just wanted to say thanks for all you do !
To those whe rant dont look a gifthore in the mouth just be greatful for what you do get.
thanks agian and i appreciate al you do !
I am very grateful for all that you do for us.
Even though I don’t use all the free give aways, I can at least have a try of them.
It is not very often you get something for nothing but you always make sure that there is something for us to try.
Thank you very much for all your hard work.
I for one appreciate it very much.
Thanks guys and have a nice Christmas
Considering that 4 out of the 6 last giveaways have a rating of 60% or more, I think it’ll be worth the wait! :D
excuses…
just kidding ;)
What happened to the games we havent’t been seeing them the past two week ends. Wouldyou mind putting up more mahjongg games and matching 3 or more?
Nooooooo! first no XBL and now this! I can’t go on!!! :(
* Brings laptop into the bathroom and cries *
oh, no, what the…wait….is the world coming to an end? No give away till tuesday? It must be armageddon, it just has to be. Lol…any way, thanks for the heads up, and keep up the great work.
That Suckt
Thanks again for the heads up.
You all do a great job and thanks for all your effort.
Awww :-(
But no worries. Keep up your great work!
Thanks for all your efforts in bringing great and occasionally not-so-great ;-) software to us each day!
Again….
God bless you: Cya and Slava both!
I’m new to this site,2wks actually, but I do appreciate the ability tto receive the software/games offered. Thank you GOTD.

And I thought you were going to offer “pdf to word” again since the first one didn’t work. Instead you offered “pdf to html”.
Sinerely,
Disappointed
Aww :( was looking forward to more software, but no problem! you guys are great :)
You do realize that these constant interruptions look unprofessional right?
This will be #1 under my “what not to do if you own a site” blogpost. And yes, I run several. None of which have done this - ever.
Lame.
Good luck. See ya tommorow.
Regards
Stephen
Any word on why there was no weekend games giveaways last weekend mate?
You guys haven’t done game giveaways for the whole weekend!
Ok… Thats Fine… Get some better programs tho
Quistion.
Is there going to be more programs from the makers of the last giveaway? (PD particles)
I don’t want it badly. I’m just wondering
please giveaway so many games like jets and guns gold, ozzy bubbles and so many more
Thanks Slava for telling us :] Just curious though as to what happened to Game Giveaways?
Have a great day, guys! Your work is awesome, and greatly appreciated.
I check GOTD Every Day, it’s the only ‘must do’ task that I have.
always busy can’t even put games for all this weekend or last weekend you will lose people and lose any ad revenue and be out of a job you need to do a better job bunch of crap software and games lately
so sad no software today.
BTW why no games this weekend? will there be games posted over the next couple of days or double games next weekend?
What has happened to the game giveaway? I don’t see any new ones since Sept. 20th.
thank you
I miss the games
Ok! But do come back!
sad… :(
Who isn’t!? Long as get it right. And a great new game after none
this weekend. Please, no finance games.
Thanks for all the hard work you do for us and letting us know. See you Tuesday
No offense to the previous commenter but…more click 3’s? OMG how many repeats of the same type of game must exist. Every time I see one more I think… not again.
So that’s what happened to the Game Giveaways. Tech work. I’m half convinced…
Since I was busy on multiple projects over the weekend I didn’t even know the games were not up for grabs. LOL. Thanks for the post concerning tech work. See you tomorrow.
I would like to make a request.
I would like GOTD or Whiterabbit to find and post some logic games.
Not Soduko!!
Sudoko does not make sense to me.
I cannot figure it out.
My example of a logic game to me is this
http://www.kaser.com/sherwin.html
Maybe #12 should start giving away games every weekend day himself and then maybe he’ll be a little more grateful for all the work you guys do!
I’ve missed you! I’ll be back tomorrow. I guess it’s back to playing Around the World in 80 Days for now :-)
I guess I will have to do some work today after all. ;)
Keep up the GREAT work! I am a software developer and I know how hard it is to keep up with the never ending software. So many times the description is so misleading. However, the GOTD team continues to give us fantastic programs.
Thank you for all that you do, will check to see what goodies are sent to us tomorrow.
To all the whiners out there:
Did you people forget that you get this software FREE?
Have you become so ungrateful that now you COMPLAIN when you don’t get a handout? If you can’t appreciate the things that are offered, get off the website!
You people are the best..Enjoy your day off and keep the good stuff coming. I, for one, have gotten lots of good and useful progs that I would have never known about, thanks to your efforts!
The great OZ has spoken.
thanks for all the effort guys, I’ve done stuff like this where the most common this you hear is a negative comment. thanks for the effort time and money you put into this. please keep it up.
Thanks,
Pat S.
@ #3 I wholeheartedly agree. No Live, no GAOTD…what am I to do with my life?
Perhaps a more in depth explanation and the effects of what your technical problems are would be beneficial to eliminating the negative lack of software comments. I have a feeling that this current technical problem also prohibited the game offering for the weekend. Like I just said, a more in depth explanation would be helpful.

I’ve been coming here for years, and look forward to more good offerings.
YEAAHH! I’m going to sleep all day!
AxCut
I want to say thank you for some of the great programs I was already able to get here
keep going
#9 - Psycho
There isn’t any “both”.
“Cya” stands for “see you”. That’s OK, I have no idea what many of the abbreviation used on this website stand for.lol
for example “lol”
Except, Elsie, I like pick 3s. After all, what type of game hasn’t been endlessly cloned? Which, if you think of it, isn’t so bad after all. Hopefully, the team will continue to mix it up so that most everybody will get a chance to get something they like, even if its in the long run. That’s all we can reasonably hope for.

Thanks for the free software! Keep up the good work.
You guys should giveaway video editor programs or something. ;)
I can’t believe all the selfish people who are complaining because they can’t get something for nothing today.
This is a wonderful site, and we should all be appreciative of the hard work that goes into maintaining it as well as finding software and games to give out.
Thanks GAOTD, for all your efforts!

When you post a “blog” can you put the date in the title? For Example:
9/29 Check GOTD on Tuesday for new software:)
Thank you so much for the great software. You all deserve a break. I look forward to more great software from you all.
I will see you tomorrow, thanks. BTW (and I know many have posted the same question but….) Why are we not getting any new games?
Good Work GOTD
“May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year!”
I’ll be happy to wait a few days to get something good.
But I still want games too. I lovem all!

PLEASE, keep the weekend games coming….I still wish we had them everyday, like we did before!!! Anyway, thanks for all the awesome games and software!!!
I’m glad there’s a pause in GOTD… Now i finally can take my time to try, test, run or remove all of your programns from my pc….
Wednesday will be fine!!!!
Thx GOTD
Hello, its already 8:50 am on tuesday and still nothing new.
Hopefully something will happen soon.
Thank you
WOW!People get crabby! Maybe they should find another site that gives away absolutely free software with no catches. I love your site, and I can manage a day or two wait before I get another free title. Keep up the good work!
Stop attacking GOTD! Great guys…

When are you going to re-run the PDF to Word GOTD?
I just want to congratulate you in the work you do to get this free software to us. Keep it up.
I would appreciate it if the trial software that has a built in stopper could be clearly identified from unlimited use free software so I don’t get my hopes up when using a trial version that is really great and I can’t afford to buy the upgrade.
Now everyone is talking about the American economy and eclections, nice to read something different. Eugene
just wanted to say thanks for all you do !
To those whe rant dont look a gifthore in the mouth just be greatful for what you do get.
thanks agian and i appreciate al you do !
Would totally love a post of a video converter! For all those ipod video users.
I am very grateful for all that you do for us.
Even though I don’t use all the free give aways, I can at least have a try of them.
It is not very often you get something for nothing but you always make sure that there is something for us to try.
