    I'd like to get Chivalry or Borderlands 2. However who knows what the Steam Winter Sale brings, might buy something else.

    Thank you for doing this mate, truly awesome stuff.

    Would use the $20 to grab some Indie titles, or older games reduced to silly prices in the sale :D
    Or it might tempt me enough to grab Black Ops 2 even though I doubt my laptop can run it lol

    HO HO HO and happy holidays to everyone

    Thanks HT! :D

    I'd use it to get Far Cry 3, or I'd pre-order Crysis 3 or Metro: Last Light with it.

    However, it still depends on what deals Steam has in store for us.

    Happy Holidays.

    Dishonored has my name on it (when it goes on sale in the near future).

    That aside, hope everyone here has an enjoyable holiday, because I certainly will! So many games, so little time...

    I'll pick Skyrim. My wife loves watching me play RPGs. Think she likes to listen to the plot, or watch my hero evolve and grow stronger? Nope, she likes the fact that I can pick up plants and make potions with them. Anyway, I love having her company too while gaming so Skyrim it is. I can't imagine a better way to spend the holidays than to play Skyrim a few hours per day with her next to me.

    That last sentence was my positice sentence BTW. Beats the "hohoho" cliche any day of the week, don't you agree? :)

    My Steam profile name is HerrKaputt, just like in this forum.

    Just found out that the cards are locked to USD and may not work in other regions. If this is the case and you win, I'll be happy to help make a transaction through PayPal if your game costs more than $20, and save you the $20 off your purchase. Otherwise if it's less than $20 or close to it, I'll just buy the game with the card and gift it to you.

    In this day and age why do they have to lock these things to a particular currency?

    As long as it's a US account you can buy with US dollars from anywhere in the world, like I do in China. However, this might be an issue for Euro-folks, in which case it sounds like you've got a good solution to the problem.

    As many others have said, have to thank you for doing stuff like this HTWingNut.

    If I win... crap. Might get FTL, Hotline Miami, or Unity of Command... not sure what I'd buy with it to be honest, probably whatever popped up on sale first.

    Happy holidays to all.

    Merry Xmas all, and thanks once again to HTWingNut for running one of these competitions.

    Not 100% sure what I'd go for normally its snap decisions to go with whats on offer on the daily discounts, wouldn't mind dishonored though.

    I'm not really sure what I can do with the $20, only game I've semi been wanting is Borderlands 2. However, I'd give it to one of my friends that has been a great deal of help in a time that I've really needed it. He's even bought me games in the past when I didn't ask, as I've only mentioned it would be nice to have. So, he would be more deserving of it than I.

    Anyways, haven't been spending much time on NBR, but still love this place, and definitely have to say thanks to HTWingNut, he is too awesome! ;>

    Happy Holidays to all!
