    HT, great thing you're doing!
    I chose the normal lab value for serum sodium.

    Story of kindness?
    Most recent one is loaned my homebrewing equipment to a friend so he could make a Christmas brew.

    Htwingnut, people like you make the world a happier place to live in, you bring hope to where is none. So much for the corny part (although I ment it).

    I was gonna go for battlefield BC2 vietcong, but I only have BF BC2 on EA games.. I hate the way they split up vendors like that lol.

    Anyways, everyone: Happy holidays !

    Good question. When I bought them it didn't specify which platform, so if it's available for mac then perhaps it will work on mac platform when I gift it?

    Oh, I had just assumed these people were choosing the same numbers each time.

    I used to submit random numbers. But then, when My Lord posts the winning numbers, I don't remember what my random number was :(

    So now I use my kiddo's birthday as my number. Evidently it's not a lucky number.

    lol, me too! By the way, do you know how many people are entering each round?

    Obviously, you are doing something wrong, because you are making me lose as well! :mad:

    Anyway, I already own Defense Grid. Since farful wants this game so much, is it ok if I enter to give it to him if I win?

    Sol Survivor is quite possibly the best tower defense I've ever played.

    Even has full co-op and versus modes online.

    Defense Grid is fun. I didn't think I'd like it so much, but played it through to the last level which I never finished. I may go back and play again someday though. I enjoyed it. I just don't like it when they make it so impossible you can't win.

    To quote Reizo:

    Or to quote HTWingNut:

    The game must also be released and/or available for purchase at the time the contest ends (Dec 22).


    Or better yet, just submit whatever game you want, and if there's a problem, HTWingNut will let you know about :p

    Basically available for purchase.

    I just want to avoid long lead items that come out later in the year having to remember or have someone saying "hey, man, give me Duke Nukem Forever"... and respond with a bunch of expletives telling them to bork off because I have no clue what they're talking about... Remember... goldfish... 3 seconds... wait, where am I? :p

    Where are you located (country)?

    Here it is in the US store:

    http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/47810/

    If it's not available, for something like that we'll make an exception and let you get both because it's not available in your area, as long as total is less than $60. Since I'd be gifting it from US store though, it may just go through. I dunno, if you win we'll see.
