    It's done, I bent the rules slightly due to some pretty active people having created accounts past Jan (hey at least I said I did it early.) I'll change the wording next time around to reflect the spirit which is intended to make sure no one is just creating an account to enter. Long winded explanation due to the fact that someone won something. :)

    The list, expect PMs..



































    Winner Game
    octiceps Battleblock Theater
    Bearclaw Metal Slug 3
    Kevin Half Life 2
    do Malho Tomb Raider
    daveh98 They Bleed Pixels
    XxxKing YBxxX Wolfenstein: The New Order
    Fe ® Borderlands 2
    PhatBoyG Risk of Rain
    KevinWolf Outlast
    wall_street Metro: Last Light Complete Edition

    GO COLOMBIA!!!

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In honor of Tim Howard not letting the US team lose to Belgium 5-0 and the fact that no one knows what the hell to do now that the Steam Summer Sale is over, LETS GIVE AWAY SOME GAMES!!!

    The list In no particular order:
    Half Life 2
    Metal Slug 3
    Metro: Last Light Complete Edition
    Outlast
    Borderlands 2
    Tomb Raider (sorry can't remember which edition, looks like basic..)
    Battleblock Theater
    Risk of Rain
    They Bleed Pixels
    Wolfenstein: The New Order (Sorry, cannot be redeemed in Germany!)

    So here's how it works:
    1. Make a post saying you're in. Please don't post if you aren't entering or at least say you aren't entering so I don't count you.
    2. I'll add all the entries in order to a spreadsheet
    3. The games will be in a separate list
    4. I'll roll some polyhedral dice to pick a winning name, roll again to pick a winning item. (Yes this is an excuse for me to find another way to use my dice bag.. )
    5. This continues until all the items are gone from the item list
    6. If I roll a name that already won there will be a re-roll, sorry you can't win twice
    7. If there's not enough names for all the items people will start winning 2 things until everything is gone.
    8. If you win Wolfenstein and you live in Germany it will be re-rolled and I'll figure something out for you...don't worry..
    9. Must be a member since at least Jan 2014, sorry just making sure it's people that have been in the community a wee bit.
    10. Entries must be made by 12AM EST Friday 7/4 (That's Midnight Thursday Night US Eastern Time). I'll draw after that at some point, only posts made before that time will be eligible. It's a holiday in the US so be patient with me it might not be right away.

    Good Luck!

    As far as the Jan 2014 requirement goes, the spirit of it is that you aren't making an acct just to enter. If you look like you were active for other reasons prior it's cool, no worries.
