TheMightyEthan Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 It's that time of year again. The last couple of years we've had a fairly short signup window, so this year I thought I'd give everybody basically the whole month of November. If you want to be part of the fun just post in this thread. Rules: Digital gifts only, typically Steam since it's the easiest to mess around with wishlists and gifting on. Other services/gift cards are fine though. Make sure your Steam wishlist/other wishlists are up to date. Suggested price of $10, though under or over is not against the rules. What this means is, don't expect a $60 gift--if your Santa gets you a $5 gift that's on your wishlist, that's all he's required to do. But if you're feeling ultra-rich or ultra-generous, we won't thumb our noses at higher priced presents. Multiple gifts are fine. Gifting period will officially commence alongside the Steam Winter Sale, which I believe is supposed to begin December 22 this year. You can gift earlier though if you find a killer deal. Gifting deadline will be on or around the end of the Steam sale. If you don't get your gift by then, message me. No brand new members (signing up after this message) unless I or another mod approves you. Deadline to sign up is Monday, November 30. I'll message everybody their targets in the AM (GMT -6) of the 1st. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 So to copy from last years and tweak a bit (like literally changing a couple of tenses and a few other bits n bobs): Steam ID: deanbmmv, UK General criteria: Something shortish I'd guess, which'll run counter to what I'll post below. Just aware I can struggle to end many longer games though I do heavily enjoy them. Something singular and straight forward, like I guess Dishonered would be cool. What are your favourite genres? Action/RPG/puzzle/Open-world stuff. What are your favourite games? Final Fantasy IX would be a biggy. I like puzzle game type things (I'm terrible for skinner box mobile games). Witcher 3 was pretty great. Deus Ex was neat. Stanley Parable was kinda unexpected neatness but I've played similar games and they've fallen short. Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? Not hugely. I've a PS4 but it's region locked so I'd guess kinda balls. No Android gifting either which sucks cos there's a few stuff on there I'm interested. Will you take games not on your wishlist? I you think it'd be a good fit, there's like billions of games on Steam now and I do struggle to look through n see if there's anything I might find interesting. Any other information you think relevant? Here's my Darkadia since I might own games on other platforms/not-Steam. I do need to update it though, but it's not too far out http://darkadia.com/member/deanbmmv I probably need to update my Steam wishlist, as sort of before a bit of it is more for me in keeping tabs on games I've an interest in without having to "Follow" it all over my "Steambook" page. In fact looking over it I'm like "I don't know a bunch of these games". So yeah I'll pencil in some Wishlist polishing. I have on on my Darkadia too, though more on console stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) k. I'm in. Wishlist is not in order. Just added games as they came so I wouldn't forget about them. http://steamcommunity.com/id/elvenampersands/ Edit: Looks like I need to add some cheap games between now and then.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 It typically picks up right before the deadline, and I gave everybody a month this time instead of like a week for the last couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
