    Alright, I'm feeling kind of lonely on Steam. I'm in a few PA groups, but I've only got a total of 18 friends. If grade school taught me anything, it's that the best way to make friends is through bribery!

    I want to hit a total of 50 friends. Yes, 50 total friends. If that happens, I'll be gifting away some games at random to my entire friends list. Once again, you need to be a member of this community, not someone who joined up in the past four days for the chance at free games.

    Here is what I'll be giving away:

    header_292x136.jpg?t=1290621298 x 1
    header_292x136.jpg?t=1277920269 x 5
    header_292x136.jpg?t=1290634078 x 2
    header_292x136.jpg?t=1285635432 x 9
    header_292x136.jpg?t=1290635495 x 3

    That's 20 games for 50 friends. About 10 of my current friends haven't logged in for months. I will not count them as part of the lottery. That means, there is a 50% chance you will get a game, based on 50 total friends.

    Remember, I have to hit at least 50 friends in the next two hours before I go to work. I might not be able to do all the gifting today because of the amount of skulduggery I'll have to go through in order to order this all, but rest assured it will get done.

    Now GO! http://steamcommunity.com/id/nswyers

    Edit: The way prizes will be chosen is as follows: All eligible friends will be put into a spread sheet, thus assigning each one a number from 1-x. An RNG will then give me a list of 20 numbers. Going down the list, you can choose which game you would like. So, the first number randomly drawn will have first dibs, second will have second, etc.

    I think it would be wickedly cool if Steam put everything they had on sale this period, back on sale on the last day. It would be awesome for people (like me) who missed stuff they should have picked up.

    But, this sale has an added hidden cost. A new Harddrive. Between my own gift outs, and getting gifted some awesome games, my hard drive is crippled. I need to buy a bigger one for all my Steam games.

    If you've gifted me something and it's not showing that I've picked it up, that's only because I simply don't have space to install it. Please don't take it away!

    Are you playing all of the games that you have installed? Because I have five games installed, and I don't play all of them on a very regular basis.

    My point being, couldn't you uninstall those games that you're not playing?

    Oh, I do have a majority uninstalled. I'm just saying...I've reached a point where I'd like to have more installed, but simply can't.

    Idta Thanks so much for NyxQuest! I'm at my fiance's grandparent's house right now, but I'll be sure to install it when I get home. Thanks again. You are awesome!

    I also have Idta to thank for a copy of this. I look forward to giving it a go after I've gotten through some of the other games I've been gifted. :P

    A little late, but I too, will experience NyxQuest because of Idta.

    Same for me as well. Thanks to everybody who's giving during this sale. It's an awesome thing!

    Agreed, I'll tell you what. I've got over 100 Steam friends now, all PA members. You know how cool that is? I can get invited into games, invite other people into games, see what people are playing, it's what steam is all about.

    OK So here's the deal. Because of all the generosity going around and the sweet games I've been gifted already, I'm going to pay it forward now and gift out a game from either today or tomorrow's sale, depending on how good today's sale is.

    But here's the catch - you're going to have to work for it :)

    All you have to do is make a drawing that depicts "A Very Merry PA Thanksgiving". Basically a visual representation of all the love going on in this thread. It must be done in MS Paint. The one I like the most wins.

    Just post your picture in the thread to enter, and I'll pick the winner sometime tonight. Deadline for entry is 5:00 PM today!

    Okay people! I might have to do this the hard way for NyxQuest. Would it be too much of a pain to think I could Paypal someone 15 bucks so they can buy the NyxQuest and gift 9 copies to the winners? They'd get a free NyxQuest out of it. Anyone up for that task?

    Edit: 45 friends! I'm sure I'll hit 50 by the time I'm done buying all these games. So be ready for a Steam message if you win!

    EditEdit: The contest "closes" when I'm done getting all this shit in order. By "closes," that means I make the spreadsheet.
