HOW TO PLAY!
The drawing will take place Sunday January 13, 2013 at 13:13. Entries won't be counted after I say so in this thread, sometime on Sunday before that time. Any submissions made after that time will be deleted. You must fill out the form listed at the bottom of this post. It will present you with choosing up to three games. You can win only one game (with the excption of Civilization, see *** note below). The three games are to give you option to win a game if someone else chose the same game and won it before you.
*** Civilization games - you can win all three if you desire, but you must choose two of the three, or all three of the Civ games in your entry, with no other games chosen. Then if your name is picked, you will win all of the Civ games chosen. If someone wins one of the Civ games before you, then you will win whichever are left. Or if all three are won, you don't win anything.
THE RULES
In the traditional vain of my giveaways you MUST follow the RULES or as Willy Wonka says:
<iframe width='480' height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M5QGkOGZubQ" frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>

(3) You must have a valid Steam account.
(4) You can only enter ONCE! YOU can only win one game (with exception of Civ games see *** above). I will delete any duplicate entries, only leaving your latest entry for the drawing. Please keep this to a minimum, but it will allow you to change your mind if you care to do so.
(5) You must claim your prize within 72 hours (that's 3 days for the mathematically challenged) or I will award it to someone else. This just means to PM me or respond to my PM within 72 hours of the drawing with any questions I may have to help award your game. You must activate your game within a week of receiving it or I will award it to someone else. I just want people to use the games, not hoard them, thanks.
(6) Rules are subject to change at a moment's notice. So PAY ATTENTION!
(7) You must refer to me as "Old Man".

Thanks for the giveaway old man!
Would love to fly the A-10, missed the steam sale because of paypal problems. -
-
Hey, Old Man, can I enter for CiV GotY just for the soundtrack? The upgrade was 5 bucks during the sale, but uh... cheap!

Dear Old Man,
Thanks for holding yet another giveaway contest!
I didn't buy these games because I can't read the darn steam font on my HD projector. Need to switch to big picture mode!
Now get off my lawn!
Regards, -
Thank you for the giveaway, Old Man
Why did I not get these games? Well, you see, I ended up spending money on some keys in Team Fortress 2 instead... -
Not entering but.. Great giveaway? You've never heard of the Lazy Cheapskate? It's great enough for you Old Man.
-
Old man, generous old man, I didn't partake of the holiday sale because that is a time I work very much. In addition, I am far behind the curve on games and when I play, I usually play games many months behind new releases. I fact, the game I am currently playing is Just Cause, which I received from Quagmire in his Thanksgiving period giveaway.
It is people like you that help some of us workaholics get a chance to unwind once in a while. Whether I win or not, I think we all are thankful for things like this. Keep up the good work and may great Karma go to you guys/gals that do this.
Plus I am a hardcore hockey fan too. Sorry, but Go Habs!!! -
Fat Dragon Just this guy, you know?
Dear Crotchety Old Man:
I am writing to express my regret at not purchasing the Tomb Raider Collection or Batman Arkham City GotY when they were on sale. It brings me great pain to admit that the blame for such oversight rests squarely on myself. In the harsh light of day, I must accept that I am nothing but a cheapskate. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and I humbly request you remit one of the above titles to my Steam account at your convenience and pleasure.
Sincerely,
A fellow traveler
Edit: Just looked at the entries list - double submission must be a problem with Google in China, as I only clicked once and then closed the page. -

Thanks for the giveaway oldman.
-
You're a crazy old man for giving away all these games. oh well, your loss is my gain.
-
My wonderful Old Man, I would like to request Civilization V GOTY. I have never played any of the Civ games before so I didn't have a real urge to buy it. If it happens to generously fall into my lap then I would give it a nice amount of play time. Thank you!
-
Dear old man, thanks for the wonderful giveaway. My reason for not getting these games during the last sale is simply because I did get my share of games but unfortunately overlooked some of these gems here. Either because I thought they may go cheaper elsewhere or it was simply not the right time. Anw, thanks for the chance!
-
Hey Old Man, I didn't bother to buy any of these games cheap because I'm to lazy to link a new credit card to my steam account, and because I know that I'll be distracted from school (Hope I dont win this
).
-
I bought Spec Ops: The Line with my remaining dough as a Christmas present to myself and it was only $10. Thought, "Hm, one game for $10? I think I'll indulge and buy another!" Some time later I went on Steam to find the A-10 Warthog simulator ticking down to 0 seconds. Saddest Steam moment ever because it sounded amazing.
Alas, I had to change my entry because my friend decided not to let me borrow his joystick and I don't want to spend $100 on something I'll use for one gameI accidentally added Batman as a third option, anyway. I've always wanted to play the Crysis games, though! Even if I don't win, I can still thank ya
*shakes head* No... this isn't like me. What is this... this gratitude I feel towards another? No... No, I will have none of it! You tried to trick me! Impressive, most impressive... BUT! -

Thanks for the giveaway old man. I entered for tomb raider and KOTOR
I'd already bought GTA IV and batman in the sale. -
Explain why I didn't take advantage of the offers during Summer Sale? Boy, this one's going to be tricky.
Let's just sum it up to "nation-wide financial and political reasons". Nothing illegal or similar, Old Man. Just couldn't take advantage of any of them! Not one!
So, yeah. Thanks for having this!
Cheers -
Old man, i spent all my steam Christmas budget before the end of day 4
-
Entered Old Man .. entered the comment in the google form .. thanks for tha Giveaway
-
Old man, thanks alot for the second giveaway in such a short time. I entered for CIV 5 GOTY edition. unfortunately I spent all my money on hardware this christmas.
-
Well I hadn't planned on doing this, just the deals were good, I bought some games for some friends, but they already bought a lot of them too, lol. So figured I'd just donate them to the fat, lazy, cheap, procrastinators. They are people too!
Of course it should really go to those that work all the time and didn't have time to catch the sales. Then again if they're that busy then they don't fit in because they're likely crazy successful and have no time for games or the likes of us gamer folk. -
Heya Old Man! Thank you very much! I didn't actually miss the entire Steam sale, but I missed the games when they went for the daily deals due to my being away from home
-
I was out the whole day when GTAs were on sale for like 75% and was too much of a cheapskate for 50% =(
Thanks for the giveaway sir wise Old Man -
No love for the natural disasters in Civ III?!
-
Old man:
Being unaccustomed to Steam, I made the Egregious error of buying games too early, which prevented me from buying games in the later sales, and most of my money is reserved for a notebook. Being Lazy, I did not solicit enough change to buy more games.
Many thanks for the giveaway. -
Hey Old Man!
Thanks for the giveaway! I didn't get these from Steam because I was going to buy them from Amazon. And then I forgot. And then I missed it on Steam. And then I spent my Amazon money on diapers. And then my in-laws visited. And then my parents visited. And then...I forgot what else happened. I'm getting old. I'm tired. I need a nap. -
MotionPictures Notebook Consultant
Thank you old man. I didn't get a chance to purchase these from Steam because I was away from home partying and drinking like no tomorrow.
-
I don't qualify as I am a long time lurker, but brand new member, but if i was eligible i would love to see how crysis 2 runs on my new sager with a gtx 675mx.
-
Thank you old man! I was distracted playing the games I bought that I forgot to check out the others!
-
killkenny1 Too weird to live, too rare to die.
Looks like this old man
(in case this old man
doesn't see well) gone completely nuts. Gives away free games 'n' stuff.
I didn't bother to buy these games, because:
a) blew my budget on other cheap games/booze/women.
b) I had a feeling a certain old manwill be making another after sale giveaway.
-
thanks a lot, Old Man,
didnt buy them because i just cant, we cant buy online stuff here in tunisia (money does not get out of the country for personnal use) it's the law..
Steam should give us some cards or do some trade with banks to accept payments with our currency ! -
Dear Old Man,
I didnt buy them because I spend all my "holiday steam budget" on planetside 2. Well I guess i'm kind of cheap but i need some boundary with these steam sales.
Thank you for your awesomeness old man. -
Thanks for the sweet giveaway old man! I didn't buy these games because I was on vacation and didn't have access to a laptop.
-
Thank you old man for the giveaway! I am sorry to say that I didn't buy these games on the steam sales as I emptied my wallet instead on a set of other games.

new nick for the 'old man' => HTOldNut
I haven't gotten any of those as they haven't been offered cheap enough ( ... for me ... cough) -
"If I touch your beard Old Man, will you shiver as I slowly stroke your old manly beard? I want to heard you moan and groan as I touch the dead hair that is growing out of your face. I want to take that dead hair and make it my own. I want to become HTWingNut! Old Man"
Well if I don't get anything I am just going to become an Old Man and touch my non resistant beard
I didn't but the GAMIEZ because I just spent all the money I saved on a Old Man beard -
didnt buy the games because i was paying more attention to NBR than steam
thanks old man
