Sweet! Won a Steam Wishlist Giveaway

[cKGunslinger]

Surprise, I just won my Wishlist in the Steam Wishlist Giveaway.

I wish I had more/better games in it! I did get Skyrim, Arkham City, Serious Sam 3, and Saints Row the 3rd.

• Bastion
• Limbo
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
• Trine 2
• Serious Sam 3: BFE
• Batman: Arkham City
• Saints Row the Third
• Painkiller Gold Edition
• Painkiller Overdose
• Painkiller: Resurrection

Anyway, just a brag thread. I could play the pessimistic role and complain that now I'm going to have to update my machine to play these games.

Congrats man

Did they send you an email notifying you or what?

 

[JasonCoder]

Grats... but how can you complain about your wishlist sucking? Is this a first world problem?

 

[zinfamous]

w00t!

Very much so! :whiste:

 

[cronos]

Grats you bastard

How did you find out that you have won? Did they send you an e-mail or did you just notice that your wish list is suddenly empty? (the latter is the way I was imagining how I'd find out that I've won)

 

[coloumb]

Wow..people actually do win?! Congrats.

heh, it is good to hear.

I moved all the little $5 games down to the bottom of my list and added a lot of new, spendy ones and put them up in the top 10...just in case

Sweet, congrats man! Always nice to see there are actual winners and even better that one happened to be one of our own. :thumbsup:

Congrats man, lucky bastard

This!

Oh man, you had the wrong painkiller games on there....or so they say!

As my wish list gets smaller and my library gets bigger I find myself wishing there was a way to create custom library lists, drag and drop one off the main list to say, a Never to Install or Already Completed list.

You can make your own categories to put games into. I think when have detail view up when you select a game there is a set category button on the far right side bottom of the column.

I never used it myself and just going off memory for how it was done.

I loved the first Painkiller. That's actually the Black Edition on my Wishlist, not sure why it says Gold (the link goes to Black.)

Also, I had The Witcher in the top 10, and Bastion @ #11, but I got the latter instead. Oh well..

nice, i figured it out. Had some garbage that came with some games like Dark Messiah Might and Magic multiplayer lol.

Cool to see a member of AT win. I haven't updated my own wishlist in forever because I don't expect to win.

 

[makken]

grats

... i can't even think of 10 games I want to be in my wishlist, only up to 4 so far:
Skyrim, Space Marine, MW3, Civ5

 

[spacelord]

congrats. I was wondering if anyone from here ever won those sorts of things. there is hope for the rest of us yet.

I would have to quit my job if I won.. I already have too many games to keep up with. If I won my wishlist (Including Skryim and Arkham City) I'd be screwed.

Congrats. I went and checked if I had an e-mail.

(What are 'gift purchases'? When you can't pass up a bargain and already own the game)

Interesting, so it isn't really your top 10?

I wonder if they have contracts with companies that disallow these type of giveaways for certain games.

I'm not sure when the "drawing" was exactly. I was moving items around as recently as last night..

I still don't have the games. No big deal, it'll take me a week to download anything anyway. And it's not as if I don't have a backlog of probably several hundred hours of gaming (Dragon Ages, Mass Effects, etc.)

 

[zinfamous]

I read the rules last night, actually, as I was wondering if there was a shutoff time during the day--as on my time, they shuffle at 10am every morning, so it's only fair that you get a full 24 hours to check out that page.

It said that they make a selection within 48 hours of each day's close. So, you could have won today, Monday, for checking out the deal on Friday. (closes Saturday morning). Though I think it said notifications may take longer?

probably when you buy a game for someone else.
