    IT'S OVER.. There was an interesting clustering of the dice this time, the winners were three groups in the first, middle and later part all next to each other. Interesting. (nerdy i know)

    Winners (you will get PM):
    Prolixious: Tomb Raider
    FSU Logan: Half Life 2
    Mobius 1: Kentucky Route Zero
    octiceps: Infestation: Survivor Stories
    DDDenniZZZ: Trine Complete
    MSILOVER: Poker Night at the Inventory
    Silverfern: Serious Sam 1
    conscriptvirus: Serious Sam 2
    masterchef341: Rogue Legacy

    Thanks for playing, and sorry about the cards. I had no idea until I went into my inventory and actually clicked on one and only saw the "SELL" button. Steam I raise my fist at thee! Thankfully I hadn't actually rolled any dice before I noticed.



    -----------------------------------------------
    All right! I was remember the good 'ole times we use to give stuff away during the steam sale (maybe it was just holiday time..). But I was eyeing my steam inventory and was like.. I think it's time to clean house. I know we're all depressed about the sale being over, so what's better than prolonging the Steam Love a little. :)

    So I've got a bunch of stuff to give away. A bunch as simple as Steam Trading Cards I've accumulated, but there's a few good catches in there such as Tomb Raider: Survival Edition, Half Life 2, Poker Night at the Inventory, Infestation: Survivor Stories (people actually say this is good now.. previously The War Z) a couple old Serious Sam games and of course a smattering of Steam Trading Cards.

    EDIT: I CAN'T GIVE AWAY THE CARDS, YOU CAN ONLY PUT THEM UP ON THE MARKET. :( :( QQ

    So I have bought to replace the cards Kentucky Route Zero, Trine Complete, Rogue Legacy (I don't even have these games myself.... :D)

    So here's how it works:
    1. Make a post saying you're in. Please don't post if you aren't entering or at least say you aren't entering so I don't count you.
    2. I'll add all the entries in order to a spreadsheet
    3. The games will be in a separate list
    4. I'll roll some D&D dice to pick a winning name, roll again to pick a winning item.
    5. This continues until all the items are gone from the item list
    6. If I roll a name that already won, it will be re-rolled so everyone has a chance to get something
    7. If there's not enough names for all the items people will start winning 2 things until everything is gone.
    8. Must be a member since at least Jan 2013.. no making accounts just to enter.. i mean the stuff isn't THAT good. :)
    9. Entries must be made by 8PM EST Tomorrow night. I'll draw after that.


    I wrote this headbanging to The Four Horsemen.. so it's definitely metal.. AWW HELL YEAH...

    My head just wasn't in it this time, otherwise I would have paid more attention and accumulated some games to give away. Thanks HFM for doing this though. Very much appreciated! I'm not entering, I'm just thanking. :D

    yesssssss. in like flynn. repped when i get to my PC.

    MSILOVER/mr. bob good day sir, you should be disqualified not because you haven't been a member since January, but to prevent aggravating your "condition" in the event of you winning a game.

    Not in, just dropping by to say that this is pretty awesome if you to be giving out some games. I still have a crap-load of games to play still and more games will only worsen that :p.

    Not in either, but good karma for you for doing such an act.

    Also happy to see Mr. Bob Good Day Sir is being kept in check. It's only because we care.

    You give such good thread.. you are in.

    The spirit of that was just to stop people from creating accounts just to get free stuff. I'll definitely use judgement.

    Ok lets get this started.... I'll update the first post with winners..


    OK.. APPARENTLY I HAVE NOT REALIZED SOMETHING...

    You can't gift Trading Cards.. you can only sell them. And it doesn't look like you can sell them to anyone specifically you just "put it up for sale..." GRRRRRR :(

    In light of this... I am going to buy a couple things to give away in place of the cards!!!

    1. Kentucky Route Zero
    2. Trine Complete
    3. Rogue Legacy!

    Ok... let the drawing begin....

    Unfortunately I can't gift the cards I had discovered (soon enough thankfully). But I left you in the game anyway and bought a couple extra games. Unfortuately your number didn't come up.

    technically his full title is mr. bob good day sir and his laptop is just bob, but he implied that he'd like to be called that here.

    [note: ignore this post. he had just finished 27 games to 100% completion in <4.5 hours and became confused over who he really is.]

    You have to right click someone in friends list and initiate a trade to give them the cards.

    Took me ages to work that out before,

    OMG You have to be kidding me.. why don't they just add a "GIFT" button like everything else in the inventory.... sigh...

    Hmm.. what to do...

    I KNOW.. KEEP ROLLING!!!!

    I think it would be a shame if it wasn't the full "Mr. Bob Good Day Sir"

    That sounds like a fantastic title for an Indie game...

    Ah ok. I usually leave steam online when I go to work, so that's why you didn't get a reply from me. If you see me as snooze, message me and if I reply in a minute or two then I'm there. If not, then I'm probably not home or asleep etc.
