    My suggestions (sadly not on steam):
    Master of Orion 3 (win a game)
    Tribes: Vengence (finish campaign)
    Swat 4 (non lethal every level)


    My Suggestions (is on steam)
    Just Cause
    Flatout 3
    Darkest of Days


    I notice a lot of games get crappy at the third installment.

    While I like it (bold) it's far from cruel. That's like saying, gorge yourself on sundays. I'm in for $10 btw. I'll just cut my winter sale back more then I had already planned:)

    -- little out of place, but ... this is still on:)

    Choose a game (from list) raffle -- 2 winners - repost

    From: SecHead@Imperium.DS7.security.gov
    To: List.SecuritySection8@Imperium.DS7.security.gov

    Subject: Security breach. Bonus opportunity available

    Body:
    As you all very well know, last week we had a rather major security breach in section 8... YOUR section. Several of the rebel scum managed to infiltrate through a security
    hole the designers of this fortress overlooked. Luckily only one landed close enough to have time to make of with data before our department got the place on lockdown. While that
    response time is a testament to my training, that data was valuable and this is not good enough.

    Since y'all seem to be incapable of doing your jobs for your normal wages, management has decided to implement a one time only bonus for the tracking down of this security
    hole. We were able to trance the rebels landing location but unfortunately only managed to extrapolate the distance to their entry point and not actually location of it. Blame
    this on the fact that we only had the delay from landing and a broad section level security alert to go on. I will attach a list of all know landing points and distance to entry
    for our rebel scum.

    Its your job as security for this section to use this data to extrapolate the precise point of entry so that our engineering detail can devise a patch. If you manage to
    locate the point of entry you'll be entered into a raffle that the department head, me, will run for your choice of one item on the attached prize list. This is just
    a little extra incentive for you all to work quick. Remember, the Empire does not look well on failure and I don't think any of us want another visit from Lord Vader.
    Good luck everyone. If everyone works together we can eliminate the rebel threat forever.

    So, since I know how much you security guys enjoy reading I'm gonna condense this so I'm sure everyone gets the jist:

    Use the attached distances to a common point below to find said common point. If you succeed you will be entered into a raffle with 2 drawings for your choice of one of the games on the other attached list.

    Get cracking
    Security Chief
    -Olsen

    Shit, If it hits $1,500 I'll LP Bad Rats and I'll even enjoy it.

    Okay, so you guys may remember me talking about my wife's extended stay in the hospital, and how I couldn't imagine the same experience with a kid, and thus how I am a big believer in Child's Play. This event just reaffirms the amazing warmth of this community (in making someone play a terrible game so that sick kids can play games). With my wife's medical bills, our finances are stretched to the limit. I was barely able to justify a purchase of the THQ Bundle, with most of the money going to Child's Play. (As a side note, I wonder how much money went to charity on the THQ bundle...)

    HOWEVER!

    My Christmas gift from my parents always involves some Amazon gift cards. So I'm down for around $25 for something from the Amazon wishlist for Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Added to the spreadsheet.

    I almost forgot, every few years I ask if they made a Super Sentai/Power Rangers villain sim and every time I am disappointed.

    They haven't yet, but standing up straight, screwing my face into a scowl, grabbing my penis, and yelling "WAAAAND! MAKE MY MONSTER... GROOOOOOWWWWW!!!" in my best Rita Repulsa voice has been a core component of my foreplay repertoire for the past few years.

    I would like to pledge $40 to the ongoing let's play roundup. For the kids... and the schadenfreude.

    I have a copy of Bioshock 2 for the person who contributes the most to the cause. Anyone else want to kick something in to entice some more bidders? It wouldn't be a Steam thread project if free games aren't sailing around the place.

    I'm not a Pizza hut; I don't mind if you claim two offers at once.

    If you want another five characters to go along with your song, be my guest. And if you want any specifics on the characters, feel free. Besides making me play Dredmore, just playing a roguelike doesn't really make me suffer.

    Oh, and Elona is gonna be completely blind, so you aren't going to get much out of that one.

    Looks nice, thanks for cleaning things up! I just locked it back down for the night, so as not to get trolled while I'm sleeping. It's not a big deal during the day because it's easy to rollback any changes, though, so I'll probably unlock it again when I wake up.

    I don't have a means to donate currently, but I'll tell you something I will do. For a paltry donation of $10 to this cause, I'll write a song complete with lyrics, vocals, and a bitching solo to be the theme of this horrible game's playing. Also, for paltrier donations of $5 to this cause, I'll write you your own theme song, replete with "[Blank] is the best!" and gang vocals. All songs will be offered up for free download on Soundcloud in WAV, FLAC, and MP3 so you can hear how awful I am.

    I'm already in for a Benjamin but put me down for another $5 so that @Ruiner999 has to write me my own theme song!

    Also, as an additional minor incentive for roguelike fans: for every dollar you give and mention me with an @Milski, I will run 1 character of your choice in 1 free roguelike of your choice (or Dredmore, and I loathe Dredmore) and give you a brief epithet of their inevitable failure.

    Hell, for an extra Dollar I get @Milski to play through Dredmore as Me and get his Epitaph? Put me in for another $1 for NetHack as well.. and while we're at it Elona too. That's what $3 total?

    I'm not a Pizza hut; I don't mind if you claim two offers at once.

    If you want another five characters to go along with your song, be my guest. And if you want any specifics on the characters, feel free.

    If only each character's epitaph could be sung.
