Following the tradition of this and this, I decided to do something fun like that again, except this time I made some changes.
Now instead of a postcard, one lucky winner will go home with this super generic black coffee mug.

As seen here: super lame boring coffee mug

But how generic it is exactly? Well, pretty generic if you're gonna use it for cold beverage, however things get far more interesting once you add some coffee to the formula or hot chocolate or just me standing next to it - so pretty much anything that's considered hot.

And now: ultra cool white custom SG logo coffee mug

That's right, you are now a proud owner of one-of-a-kind, custom made, non generic Steamgifts coffee mug. Except you have to win it first.
The rules are simple, just leave any coherent comment in this thread, could be a simple "thanks" or "count me in" or you could tell me a story about that time you met a cute foreign girl on Barcelona beach called Iris and you had a really wonderful time together and she gave you a phone number before leaving but then you went for one last swim and completely forgot about that number in back of your swim shorts and the water washed away the ink so the number was lost for good. It's been 10 years since then, every now and then before bedtime you think about her, asking yourself if she was the one. Maybe, just maybe things would be different if you left that number on a towel or somewhere before heading out to the waters. But now you will never know......so yeah, as I said, a simple "thanks" or anything else should suffice.

Few things to point out though:

  • Do not enter if you are not ok with providing me your REAL LIFE address if you win cause that's the only way I can send you the mug. You are still free to comment just be sure to point out in bold letters somewhere that you are not entering.
  • Obviously, I will pay for the shipping and all expenses, you will only need to pick it up once it arrives at your doorstep. Everyone in the whole world are eligible to enter (yes even you Trinidad & Tobago) so no worries there.
  • Aside from the mug you will also receive a very rare, two-of-a-kind xarabas autograph. I say two of a kind cause there is already one on eBay going for a ridiculously high price, as seen in this completely legit picture here
  • And lastly, aside from the coffee mug and my autograph, you will also receive a random wishlist game from me once the mug arrives. To be eligible for that, yo must not add any item to your wishlist starting today, only the games before July 30 will count. Or you could, but I won't take those in count anyway.

The giveaway will remain open till Sunday next week (August 8) and it is starting riiiiiiiiiiiight about..... NOW!

EDIT 1: Since few people asked me about this, yes it is a thermal mug that changes color with temperature - black/cold > white/hot. These are not two pictures of different mugs (as some actually assumed so).

It's like those mugs that expose titters when there's hot liquid in it except this one doesn't have titters...
Do you have a version with titters?

That would be awesome! Well I could tell you the story about how I lost my arm. This one day I was walking down the road when a truck passed by me extra close. The mirror impacted with my shoulder hard enough to cause me to spin around. The next thing I knew, my arm was laying on the ground. I picked it up and carried it as I limped away. The pain at my shoulder was incredible. It was getting worse with every step I took. I looked at my arm. It was badly mangled. I knew at that point there was nothing that could be done to fix it. Dejected, I laid the arm in the near by river and watched it has the current dragged it down the stream. I had no idea what I was planning on doing with that mannequin arm anyway, I had just seen it in a trash bin and thought it looked neat and might be good for some art.

Holy fucking shit, I need this! Coffee is one of my greatest weaknesses. And SG is kinda like a second home to me. I'd use this every day. Thank you for the chance!

And I can't keep myself from wishlisting things. If I see something that I want to play, into the list it goes, regardless of how hard I'm working on keeping things trim and tidy. My OCD is just terrible like that. Not even kidding. ._.
But I really should make this a reason to try even more!

That custom SG mug is awesome, but I'm in for the autograph. That baby would get framed and displayed at the office. :P

I suppose I have interesting shit to tell, but I don't think I wanna share and most importantly I don't think anyone would take me serious. :D
I do have one question tho. Would you promise not to share the name or address? I mean, it's sorta self-explaining that you wouldn't, but I gotta be sure. My name is not Dick Cum of Cockstone, but I have my reasons why I wouldn't want people to know.

Thanks for doing this tho! Awesome idea and a great contribution.
Not entering, for now

Not sure how to answer that, really. If it is self-explaining that I wouldn't, then why are you asking?

To be entirely sure, mate. Let me be paranoid.

We don't really know each other (besides only seeing you posting in few topics before) but if your initial impression of me is as someone who would just go and plaster your address all over the internet for no good reason, then I'm not really sure any sort of "assurance" from my end would suffice.

I am not saying that you are the type of person to do something like this. Don't get me wrong. The part about being paranpoid wasn't entirely a joke. All I need is you saying "nope, are you st00pid? fuck u concept" and I'm good to go. :D

I NEED THIS

At work I'm using an ultra generic mug that I got for opening a bank account... also I can't wait to possess that ultra rare Xarabas autograph comes in a Boznian postcard too? wink wink

Finally... I was once in Barcelona, it was the 23rd of December 2007, on that glorious night I went with my cousin to Camp Nou and witnessed one of the few wins of Real Madrid in that stadium in the last couple of decades, it was an amazing experience, specially getting insulted and threatened by the catalan fanatics, I will hold dear to my heart one bald dude that was politely asked by the police to leave the stadium 3 times, but he kept popping back out from different entrance saying: "Fucking pigs, we will skin you alive outside!" while Real Madrid fans laughed our asses off and said "Thank you for a White Chirstmas!".

God what an amazing night, the night before was amazing too, we decided to meet and greet the Mediterranean Ocean for the first time, my cousin and I are very bright so we removed our socks and shoes and proceeded to dip our feet... into the fucking ice cold water at around 11pm of December, so yeah, during a Winter at around 15C outside temperature, that was fun! Specially since we recovered the feeling in our feet after several hours later, GOOD TIMES!

Count me in for the awesome mug and the priceless autograph. I have no games in my wishlist though. Maybe if I win you can pick a different winner for the wishlist game.

I've always been quite heavy on the coffee consumption. Goes with the profession, I guess? ... Anyways, I quit coffee a while ago, I wanted to rule it out as a cause for my really-not-funny migraines.

Well, some time has passed, and ... Ruled it out. Need coffee. Need mug.

I guess this is 10 years late, but an expert would have probably gotten the number from that piece of paper. But you never know, he might have said that it's not possible and would've called Iris himself ;)

I have 2 simple questions . Why do you do this ? And what do you get out of it ?

Might not be what Xarabas is going to say but I think it's because he enjoys making other people happy and it's also a unique way of doing so on Steamgifts. It's also a little bit more personal than just sending someone a Steam game I'd say.

What he gets out of it? Same thing that anyone else who gives something away for free gets.
