Right, it appears that the nice chaps over at Simply have X-Com on sale. £12.99, which I think is something in the area of $20. Still not quite cheap enough to make me switch from XP to Windows 7 to play it (!), but I'm guessing someone here will want a copy...
So I was going to donate through Child's Play, but then when I checked the map for the hospital near me, I saw this:
So I did it there instead:
Good work, anoffday!

Busy day so I haven't been around the comp much, but one more contest ended. Congrats to @Drovek for winning Sonic Generations, a classic tale of a Hedgehog with its origins in the Jewish faith. One final day in the Hanukkah giveaway, folks!
I'm going to be traveling too much to get in on the winter sale madness this year, so instead I'm throwing down an 8 day Hanukkah giveaway. In honor of this sacred time, I've rewritten the Hanerot Halalu in a way that my girlfriend and her Jewish family would undoubtedly frown upon:
We play these games for the miracles and the wonders, for the redemption and the battles that you made for our monochrome ancestors, in those days at this season, through your holy sales. During all eight days of Steam-Hanukkah these games are sacred, and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them except for to gift them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, Your amazing values and Your tremendous discounts.
I can't make enough giveaways for everything just now, so I can only cover the first three days and I'll put the remaining few up as the previous ones end. I'll go ahead and open up the current listings for entries, but they'll expire a day at a time. And because this is a community thing, if you're not at least a moderately active forum poster I reserve the right to re-raffle the gifts, in the spirit of the holidays. That said, Happy Hanukkah, and lets do this:
Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
Day 6:
Day 7:
Day 8:
Also, went ahead and got my donation in, decided to double up, so it's $20 now instead of $10 for you tally folk out there. Proof in spoiler:
Worth every penny. A tip of my hat again to those who have participated, and those who are going to be suffering soon. Your tears will go to a good cause!
Which reminds me..4 days till the sale! I'm so fucking excited.
While I do own quite a lot of games by now (largely thanks to you guys) I'm actually not broke this time, for a change.
How long until you can make it spin up and shoot gifts?
Ok, but no monocles, top-hats or glowing eyes this time.
This thread has become a singularity, combining the infinite possibilities of the Internet with the generosity and goodwill that come with the holidays.
It is, briefly and in conclusion, the true miracle of Christmas.
yea i was originally going to paypal my money but saw that my local Childrens hospital (which i have spent way too much time at) had a list. original pledge of $20 has turned into $50 worth of stuff
we need to tally the amount donated already so we know how far off we are.
I've tried to keep the spreadsheet updated, but I haven't had time to mark off received donations yet (and I think I may have missed a couple of pledges).
If anyone can go through and make a note beside each confirmed donation, that would be great. And if you see a pledge missing, feel free to add it in:

i think it would be interesting to see how much was initially pledged verses how much is given considering several people already donated more than they pledged
HAH MY STRETCH GOAL ISNT LISTED ON THERE, I DONT HAVE TO DO IT. SUCK IT.
Oh, it's there, my friend. It's there.
Updated what i could. If everyone who contributed could just check their own names to be sure. Also, we gotta get closer!

I couldn't really keep track of it all, so I've just updated to "pledged" amounts to whatever each person actually donated once I see a confirmation. Also, someone has kindly helped me fill in pretty much all the confirmations. We're looking good so far! Looks to be about half received so far.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

And for the record, according to my spreadsheet, we're at $2818 pledged, although I think I'm still missing one or two pledges. If anyone sees one missing, please add it in.

Gamefly had it for $25 ($20 with code) recently. I doubt it would get much cheaper during the sales, but I'm still holding out just in case.

There's always the old standby, Beyond Good and Evil
Even if the PC port is harder to use than it has any right to be.

There are 13 Achievements, which is more what I was referring to.

Money well spent.
Deus Ex (the first) no augs, pacifist run.
Literally impossible to do in the expansion. (Do not play the expansion, it is so much worse than the base game)
I thought that said portal 2 no weapons run.
Beat the game using only orange portals.
