    HTWingNut, wow, that's great! I would like to give away my copy of Postal2 as well (the only Steam gift I have), but am too lazy to create a separate giveaway, could you please include it in yours? Postal goes to Nomad.

    I just changed the order of my list. Just to delete the earlier entry.

    And would like to try Postal 2 for sure if you are willing to give it to someone random :)

    Half Life 2 is my favourite game of all time. Incredible experience. Still hoping for a continuation of the story before the 21st century is out.

    At this time you can create an entry and almost 100% get all 5 (five) games albeit all of those games are of those kind I don't play. Otherwise... if you want popular and first class games out of your list then yeah, it's like ~25% chance that you can get one, at least last time I checked. Now even less.

    P.S. I may sound too fishy or greedy but rules could be changed so that those who spent more time and gave more help would get higher chance to win. :vbrolleyes:
    It's not that this thought came first time to my head, it's more like 7-th, I just didn't bother to participate in all of those Giveaways I saw. But this one I couldn't miss, its above me :vbtongue:

    I'm not going to be the judge for who spent more time or gave more help. Heck I have almost the highest post count and reputation and likes on this forum but I've found users with only a couple hundred posts be far more useful and knowledgeable than I ever could be. I just didn't want to be a recruiter for NBR and have people flood the forum to sign up for an account. And I wanted people who have participated enough to get messaging privileges.

    If I can't get give away all of them here, there's always other forums and places to do so.

    It's a bad time that you need to work hard even for giving away something for free. :vbwink: Maybe small marketing skills are needed? I mean when I read the title I feel sadness about it. Last Time Ever? Ohhhhh... And members just can't click the link with their eyes full of tears.... OK, I'm just too happy that I finally became connected to Internet for the last 3 days and being home for a day so don't get me too serious. :hi:

    There is Techinferno Forum which is very useful and where Mr. Fox and other NBR members post sometimes for example. Or you have your list of forums so you don't need my recommendation. But yeah, the main reason of just 35+ entries is Summer.

    BTW. Is IT going to be today? I mean the drawing.

    OK! No more entries!

    CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

    It may be a day or two before I can get the prizes awarded. Please have patience. That's like 60+ prizes to give away. Not an easy feat.

    First round prizes are highlighted in the image below as yellow. Games still available for round 2 are green. If you didn't win anything this round that means all your choices were taken by the time your number came up. I will give you first pick next round if you wish. Slim pickin's I know, sorry about that.

    Here's a list of winners...

    First round winners are here:

    Wow and here I am on a vacation, when I suddenly get random Steam messages that I've been gifted.

    "Dear god." I think to myself, did someone mistake me for someone else? My heart starts racing and I look in awe as HTWingNut gifts me.

    The RNG god has blessed me from above.

    Thanks for this great giveaway HTWingNut, hopefully you'll find time to game again.. life is after all one big large horror game filled with bugs.

    Ok. I started giving away games. If you get a friend request in Steam either accept it or send me a private message here (aka "Conversation") at NBR with your email address. Steam is acting up now, so I will have to delay. If you look at the spreadsheet cells:

    yellow = gift(s) sent
    red = need friend/email before I can send, I have sent you a friend request or you can message me at NBR with your email address that I can send it to.
    pink = issue, in many cases it's because it says you already own the game. I will contact you, and if you still want it (multiple copy) we will probably have to do a Steam trade or something, or you can give me a user name or address and I can send to someone else
    green = gift accepted/all done

    Ok, everyone, here is where we are at...

    If your name is highlighted red it means we were not Steam friends and I sent you a Steam friend request. You have two options: accept my friend request or message me your email address.

    If your name is highlighted yellow it means games were submitted to you. You can help me clean this up if you post here that you received your games just fine.

    If your name is highlighted pink it means there's a problem. If one of your games is pink then it means that Steam shows that you already own the game. If you still want the game them message me here at NBR and we can set up a trade (I think it should work) so you can store it in your gift inventory.

    If your name is highlighted green then thank you. You're all set and hopefully enjoying your games.

    I received Verdun just fine. I do own already a copy of RO2/RS (I want to give one for a friend of mine), so I guess that's where lies the problem.

    This is probably one of the rare situations where I actually WON in some drawing game! Not that I never won but not such big prise.

    On a such note I believe @HTWingNut gonna let me giveaway 1 game Defy Gravity Extended as a part of his drawing. So if someone who won zero game in the first round would have additional slot for drawings. I have it in inventory. Just worth to mention that I can connect to Internet only about twice a day.

    Thanks again!

    Holy moly, I just logged into Steam and had a friend request from the legendary HTWingNut, for a moment I was very confused! I've accepted your FR and wow, thanks very much!

    What an awesome start to my day :D
