First time doing one of these,

I have:

Portal
Portal 2
Left 4 Dead GOTY
L.A. Noire
Torchlight x2
Red Faction
Red Faction 2
Jagged Alliance: Back In Action
Bioshock
Batman: Arkham City

Most of these I got for my brother and he never accepted them, sick of him not figuring out how to accept the gifts, or giving a shit that I gave them, hehe.

So, I'd rather find someone who'd appreciate them.

As for my contest?

Answer me this:

If you could go back to any place and period in history, bringing with you 3 items from the modern world, when and where would you go, and what would those three items be, and why?

I'm setting my iPhone alarm for about 24 hours from the time I'm posting this, I'll make a decision then. (Unless there are no entries by that time in which case I'll extend it a day or two)

Please select one of the games I mentioned, and include this selection with your entry.

Please have an active Steam account for me to send the gift through.



EDIT: CONTEST FINISHED.

Since everyone who entered my contest which is now closed requested a different game, I've decided to give you each the game you requested. You have all won.

AlexAL = Jagged Alliance
EDUSAN = Batman
Ikailburn = LA Noire
KeithP = Bioshock

Please PM me your Steam names.

Congratulations.

If anyone hasn't asked for the Fallout New Vegas Gun Runners DLC, then I'd like to make a claim for it.
 
I have a Steam key for East India Company to give away.

To get the game, answer this question: What is the dominant language spoken in East India?

Edit: It's taken.

Thread is a lot slower than I imaged it would be, so let's get a Friday night giveaway going.

Available games are

Bioshock
Bioshock 2
The Stronghold Collection
Duke Nukem Forever Complete Pack

The contest is to post the shortest Google query which results in this thread returned as the first result (not counting ads) without using

  1. "anandtech"
  2. "giveaway"
  3. the name of any poster in this thread
  4. any combination of words typed in the same order they are used in this thread, including the names of games. "Dungeon" is fine.
    "Dungeon Defenders" is not.
In order to prevent people from replacing 1 word in a previous posters answer, all answers must not contain any of the words used in the previous answers.

Editing of answer posts allowed for 5 minutes after the original time of the post. Any posts with edits beyond 5 minutes will be deemed ineligible.

Please post the number of words used in your query in the first line of the post. e.g.
5

chicks love hate moon sun

List the games you want in the order of your preference below your answer, e.g.

BS2
BS
TSC
DNF

Games will be given to the answers with the shortest number of words in order of preference. When answers result in a tie with the same number of words, the person who posted their answer first will be given their game of choice first.

One answer per person.

Contest ends tomorrow 11/17 @ 8pm EST.

Good luck!

Edit: Changed the rules from being able to use 2 words in previous answers to not being able to use any words due to the 1337 google haxorz on this site.

Damn, that's actually really challenging. Finally got it though. Took me a little bit. (I'm also opting for only two of those games, since I own the others.)
