Wish I could give more for this occasion, but I presently have zero income... which makes having time to play all these games a little easier, but doesn't make it so easy to acquire more. Thankfully, bundles and SteamGifts have both been significant contributors to this milestone and to my gaming experiences. So thank you to everyone on SG!

Plus it'll be my cakeday soon (four years!), so all giveaways will end then. According to SG, that's August 13th at 10:21am (presumably my local time, but it might be server time -- in any case, giveaways will end at my local Pacific time).

I wish I felt like taking the time to make some of those wonderfully-logical puzzles I love and don't seem to find the time to solve anymore, and I wish I felt like going through all my past bundles to find which keys I haven't used yet. But unfortunately, I'm plagued by bouts of laziness. So instead, you get a smattering of giveaways -- not even a train! But they're nearly all Steam Inventory gifts -- and that makes it easier on my end! :D

Also, I think it's likely that I'll finally hit Level 7 with these giveaways. That's never really been a goal, but it'll be nice to jump another tier and enter a few additional giveaways that I've otherwise just watched come and go -- definitely some nice stuff from you giveaway creators at Level 7!

And so... my 3,000th game on Steam is... drumroll... Blur.
I actually picked that one up back in 2012 before it had been removed from the store and it's been sitting in my inventory ever since. I could probably get some nice amount of keys for it, but I don't trade much, and I actually wanted Blur ever since I had a lot of fun playing it on a console system at a friend's house a few weeks before I picked it up.

Finally, and without any further ado... the giveaways!...

(Whitelist and Private Groups (7 giveaways + 1 one awaiting support to add it to the giveaway list))
These may not all be the best giveaways, but they're more personal -- a better reflection of my own gaming past and present.

Whitelist + Multi-Group: Castle: Never Judge a Book by its Cover
Whitelist + Multi-Group: Puzzle Dimension
Whitelist + Multi-Group: Dungeon Siege
Whitelist + Multi-Group: SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition
Whitelist + Multi-Group: Armikrog. (the winner may have to be a little patient on this one)
Whitelist only: Life is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5)
Whitelist only: Batman: Arkham Knight (ends 1wk later than the rest due to delay in its selectability on SG)
Single Group: Gunpoint Exclusive Edition

And that'll be all 28 of my giveaway slots! (And the first time I've maxed that out, I think...)

Congratulations on the milestone!

And activating a removed game rather than profit from it... games are meant to be played. :)

Congrats on the 3000th, and thank for the awesome GAs.

What's your standard criteria for whitelisting by the way?

9 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

No real standard. Most of the people on my whitelist are people that have been on SG for a very long time who I've just come to recognize as good people over the years (most of my whitelistings were right after SG upgraded to 2.0). Many others are people who just have a great positive presence on the forums. And occasionally there's a one-off where someone will say or do something unexpectedly kind or thoughtful or selfless and they get a secret whitelisting from me. If I'm iffy about a person, I may check the quality of their own giveaways (imveryho, quality is nicer than quantity). Unfortunately, since I'm not on the forums as often these days, and I've only very rarely dropped in on SG's chat room, this means a lot of other really great people probably aren't on it. But that's just how it goes...
(Also, thanks for the congrats and you're welcome! Good luck with the GAs! :) )

Myself, I don't really create many whitelist GAs...think I need to grow my list a little first.
Agreed on quality over quantity, maybe I'll turn the tides on mine soon...started off well enough. :)

Cool, thanks again. And thanks for the reply.
