    Ok, I said I wouldn't do it, but here it is. I'm gonna make it plain and simple. No hoops to jump through. Just fill out the form, and follow the few simple rules:

    - Make sure you have a Steam Account and be willing to share your Steam email or make Steam friends with me to accept the prize.
    - You are old enough and/or have legal rights to own said game.
    - Please only accept games that you do not own.
    - Must be an NBR member registered Nov 2011 or earlier with at least 10 quality posts.
    - You can only enter once and win once.
    - Post something cheerful in this thread (not a requirement, but come on, it's Christmas time).

    I will draw winners on a random basis, based on a random drawing, with the last drawing not happening any later than late evening 12/24.

    I bundled Mass Effect 1 & 2 together. If you already own one or the other and win, I will gladly gift the other one to someone at NBR or you can gift it to someone you know. Just make notes in the comments section of the form.

    ALL GAMES WILL BE GIFTED THROUGH STEAM!

    Games that I am giving away (multiple copies will be listed individually) / Winners listed next to the game:

    Alien Breed Trilogy - dragon290513 SENT!
    Alien Breed Trilogy - Waterwizard11 SENT!
    Blur - hakira SENT!
    Blur - RaYYaN SENT!
    Mass Effect 1 / Mass Effect 2 (get both) - FlyingMonkey99 SENT!
    Mass Effect 1 / Mass Effect 2 (get both) - Killkenny1 SENT!
    SkyDrift - dead2th3world SENT!
    SkyDrift - Mkelliny

    Fill out the form in order of preference for games you want.

    Form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...mkey=dFBRTDhiSjM0U25xbHBNcGw4cnpUcnc6MQ#gid=0

    View Entries: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am9DVMrm7CEfdFBRTDhiSjM0U25xbHBNcGw4cnpUcnc

    Good Luck!

    ------------

    How random numbers are generated:
    In case people are wondering how I draw numbers, I use random.org an use the sequence generator to randomize the list. Then I draw winners using the random number generator on the front page if I need just one number. Or the integer generator if I need more than one number pulled out of the number of entries. Random.org is supposed to have the best publicly available distribution of true random numbers.

    Wait...what? The origin of the thing where a man in red gives presents to children comes from an old story, where a Hungarian bishop, Nicholas gave presents to poor children (and his bishop clothes were red). Later Coca-Cola boosted up his figure in their advertisement campaign to the happy fat, white bearded drunk we know today.
