    Aww i really wanted Defense Grid. Well, I guess it's fair since I already won Red Faction Guerilla ;)

    :confused: I was going to sign up for DoW but I apparently already have it in my steam list. I never knew that i had it lol. 64minutes played.. This is the problem that I need to work on.. I spend $40~$60 on a game just to enjoy it for like an hour and I completely forget about it. Well, I guess I'll give it another try during Christmas Break since I remember actually liking the game lol :)

    Congrats to those of you that won Defense Grid. It is actually a very good tower defense game. It becomes challenging at times, but it is also quite fun. I'm just getting my feet wet with Dawn of War II, so maybe I'll see some of you winners (or losers :p ) online.

    Thanks Lord htwingnut for your generosity. :)

    Ok, something nice that happened to me randomly...A fellow student once gave me a lift home back to my dorm from school when he saw me walking home in the freezing cold. I didn't have a car yet at the time.

    And wait. If we have been eaten this many times... How we keep getting out? :eek:

    Reizo, I think you should add "Survivors will be om nom nom'd again." to your signature between "alive" and " :)". lol

    I entered this one, too.

    haha, no I didn't. i'm not that attracted to BO (pun intended). plus paying $60 for a game is a bit far fetched for me, even if it is someone else's money. maybe by choosing a cheaper game "we" can share the wealth. :D

    AvP is a great game. Had me hooked the first month when it was released but too bad nobody plays it anymore and the matchmaking system is terrible.. Still a great game though once you get into a match. I LOVE PLAYING AS THE ALIENS. :D
    Since i have this game, i guess i would have to again pass this contest.. I hope the next game is something that I don't have :p
