    It's easy and fun at first, but then it becomes quite challenging later. I wish some levels they would add "helpers" if you can't get past it because a couple of them were a bear.

    Honestly, I think you should stop mentioning the rules every other message on this thread. Reading the rules is not that hard. In my opinion, if someone doesn't care enough about the giveaway to read the rules, he/she shouldn't win a game. Period.

    Am I too mean? lol

    Heh, I guess I kind of agree. Let it work as a natural filter to earn the right of passage.

    It may prevent bots like CIN from entering :D

    That's not the Holiday Spirit guys! They get one warning, then they are frivolously frisked, and subsequently executed, and then fed to Reizo!

    hey thats not the christmas spirit! since you were not elidable to enter the contest we made you part of it.

    the final giveaway winner will be determined by placing bets on how long you last in a cage of lions dressed like santa.

    im on scene now setting up the live webcam feeds. typing on my phone is a pain.

    Yeah, there will be twelve tigers named dasher, and dancer, and prancer, and vixen, and comet, and cupid, and donder, and blitzen... but the most famous one of all Reizo! His nose is red.

    edit: Ha! I just realized that I have 8 game sets to give away = 8 reindeer and one mega prize = rudolph.

    Right now we're on to the dancer prize. :)

    Yes they are (as noted in the first post: So the games I'll be giving away will be from those gift packs.)

    It's the only way Steam would let you do something like this unless you bought each game individually, but I can't spend that kind of crazy money. :D
