lol Baron Ashura is such a useless sack of shit, why does Dr. Hell keep him employed?


"him"

But yeah, Ashura is mostly comic relief in the original. In Shin they are hands down the best character though.

Are you watching it with proper subs, with crabstick subs or in Spanish?

The remakes of Uncle Nagai's series are damn great BTW. Top notch animation and music by JAM Project.

What is the process of getting the prize? Is it through Steam or here?


I add friendship in Steam, then I sent the thing through it.


Oh. Did I give you my Steam ID incorrectly? I never received a friend notification.


I'm waiting for a friend request also, but I'll be patience.

Could also look into powerline adapters. It uses your powerline to transfer internet signal via ethernet. It was another thing i tried but again, the speeds weren't what i needed.


And it adds some lag. But it's better than nothing.

Wow, so what's the tl;dr of how all this worked?

Everyone gifts each other games, usually on Steam for the sale. For each gift, an entry is added in the Google Sheet. The person who gifts the most games gets two giftboxes, second most gets one, and 10 random giftboxes are given out and everyone who gifted a game is eligible. The more you gifted the more likely you are to get one. Giftboxes are $10 worth of whatever game you want.


And this has been happening twice a year for the past 6 years.

So, prize status. The following are unfullfilled as of now:

@bluezero : I believe your gift can wait? Need to check how it works.
@Senta : I believe I can't send you giftboxes since I just added you as Steam friend. Do you have another idea in mind or you prefer to wait a couple days until Steam lets me send it?
@Aristoph Waiting for you to accept Steam friendship.
@andrewl923 @XImperialDragon Please choose a prize.

Hey! I'm glad I remembered to search for "Steam" in the topic list or I would have completely missed this. I'm sending you a PM right now.

Maybe should be sure to @ all the winners in case you haven't heard from some of them yet, just to make sure they know.

EDIT: Also, to reiterate what's already been said, congrats to the other winners and thank you to Baruch for running these giveaways all the time. It's always great to see how generous CE can be and spread a little good cheer to friends. ^_^


I'm kind of old school, I hadn't even thought about @ ing people, what I usually do is I PM people who haven't given me an answer in 24 hours.

But yeah, I'll ping the winners in a few hours when I'm in front of my PC.

You can move at super speed, but the exact moment you stop using it, time reverts to the point when you began to use it.


So you can run around for a few minutes, get lottery numbers then bet on them.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the end of another great contest. This time around your generosity has made possible giving 355 gifts to other users. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Now for the results. As a reminder each giftbox is worth $10, and you can get it in whichever format you want (Steam game, gift card, credit for next sale...)

The top gifter, with 56 gifts is...BMXJouster! You get 2 giftboxes!

The second top gifter, with 47 gifts...Senta! A giftbox for you!

Now, there has been a bit of internal discussion about Senta's gift count, since most of the games came from unidentified Humble Boxes, so it's difficult to determine how many entries should be credited to him. This will be something to be addressed in the rules of next contest. Also it doesn't take from his great generosity towards other people.

So, to be fair, and seeing how third place is kind of close, I'm adding an extra giftbox for third place. Which belongs, with 42 gifts to... watertank! A giftbox for you too! (plus another one you had won in a past contest)

Now for the 10 random giftboxes. As always, I'll use random.org, and since there is a header in the Google Doc sheet the entry number = the randomized number + 1.

So, the 10 lucky winners are...

Set 1: 253 -> XImperialDragon (1)
Set 2: 198 -> Aristoph (1)
Set 3: 352 -> Alakazamtrainer
Set 4: 181 -> Alakazamtrainer (2)
Set 5: 106 -> ...Me >_________________> Reroll!
Set 5b: 233 -> DarkFists (1)
Set 6: 313 -> BMXJouster
Set 7: 271 -> bluezero (1)
Set 8: 27 -> Flintlock_Staff (1)
Set 9: 115 -> andrewl923 (1)
Set 10: 310 -> BMXJouster (4)

Congrats to the lucky winners! PM me your prize choice please, quickly in case it's a Steam game so that I can get it in the Sales. As a FYI, I'll be gone for the next 24 hours or so.

And that's all folks! Tune in next time for more gifting adventures in Christmas time!

RULES

For the newbies, rules are simple:

- Do you want to get free games? Post your Steam wishlist and someone will gift you stuff!
- Feeling generous? Gift something to someone and you'll get a chance to win prizes!

That's the basics. Here's a couple additional things to keep in mind (since in every contest people ask the same questions):

- When gifting, please put somewhere in the gift message your GFAQs username. It helps keeping things straight.
- When you receive a gift, please post in the topic saying what you received and from whom.
- While this is called "Steam" gift topic, it isn't limited to it. Basically as long as the gift is a game, it counts.
- Gifters get one entry per gifted game. At the end of the contest I'll randomly pick a few winners entry from the pool, so the more you gift the more you can win!
- You get only one entry for all games coming from an individual bundle (though if you bought two copies of the same bundle and gift games from both, you get two entries. And so on).
- You don't get entries from games you got for free.
- Gifts done elsewhere in GameFAQs count, as long as they have been gifted after the creation of this topic.
- To avoid getting the topic saturated, you can only post a link to your wishlist thrice per topic. You are free to put it in your sig for normal posts, though.
- Before posting in the next topic, please wait until this one hits 500.

PRIZES

As in recent contests there will be 10 giftboxes. Each one of these is worth $10, and each will be given to a gifter from the gift list at random. Additionally, 2 gift boxes will be given to the person who'll gift the most stuff and 1 to the second person.

This puts the total prize of the contest at $130.

Additionally, if you have a giftbox remaining from a past contest (listed in the Winners tab) you can claim it at any point.

Prizes can be redeemed for either games, Paypal/Amazon/whatever credit, or kept in the abovementioned tab for when you see something you fancy.

DEADLINE

Deadline for entering the contest is 48 hours before the end of the Sales, whenever that is. That will give me enough time to give prizes for cheap, so you guys will get more games.

ARCHIVE

All entries will be kept in a Google Doc: https://goo.gl/52ynFv

All people who want to help keeping this doc up-to-date are welcome, just PM me your Google account so that I can add you. By default, everyone who helped in the past have been added.
