I went into the strange part of the internet and... voila!

I heard about the free Saints Row 3 Spec Ops Pack codes being given away here in a post on CAG when all the codes had dried up. Entered about 30 giveaways until someone commented with another link that had them and I was able to get one :)

I was playing medic in tf2 and I started to follow this one really good soldier. We played like 5 rounds and we were always number 1 and 2 on both teams. He sent me an invite to the site after wards. I still play with him everyone in a while.

Through a thread on GiantBomb.com

found it through a steam group

I had an extra copy of Counter Strike and my friend told me to put it up here.

My BF told me to get in...

got an invite through steam through a group Im in.. for a giveaway.
Seen the site before but thought it was fake. Was shocked to find out its real, and gamers really do giveaway games for free... shocked I tell you

I received a package without the sender's personal data. Inside there was a box with map of my country from ~300 years ago. State borders does not coincide with the borders in today's world but that wasn't the most important thing. The one and ultimate thing that made me curious was a small island on the Baltic Sea which don't exist now... I decided to leave everything and go to a place - where, according to map - should be an island. I packed my backpack and pockets and set off on an adventure challenge. I went to the port of Gdynia and hired the cheapest boat with perpetually drunk captain of this floating despair unit...

falcon whip strike(falcon punch!)*

The boat was in a total ruin but I couldn't afford more because I wasn't sure if this adventure will bring me profits.
One look at the captain enough to say that he is an old sea wolf that has a huge knowledge of what he was doing all his life.
during a short chat, I learned that he sailed on the best from Europe. Unfortunately, he ended up like this on dirty boat after being ruined by a large corporation, for committing a "small" mistake on the sea, when he commanded - to throw overboard the son of a powerful businessman for trespassing on the bridge without permission. Shortly after his wife left him and took everything he had on divorce. Since than he did what he had left - sailed into the sea, together with people like me - for peanuts which were sufficient for the cheapest whiskey in a local bar.

According to the captain in the place where I wanted to go - in fact, where the map led me - there was absolutely nothing.
Even the fishermen could not catch anything there. Even if really there was no island. I just had to check that place because I live with the principle that nothing happens without a reason. Map looked authentic - and before leaving my friend paleoanthropologist checked it age to me.
Following blindly forward into the sea and hoping for a stroke of luck I received a blow in the face. Suddenly the wind and unleashed a storm - but the captain told me that he checked meteograms and there was not even the slightest threat from the weather. The boat began to take on water and the pump couldn't take care of the amount of it and finally died - I'm still not sure if it's from overwork or from old age.
The captain jumped from the deck and threw me a life jacket. Before the wave turned everything upside down - I managed to hide the map to a sealed wooden box in which the reason of my trip arrived - In a few seconds before hitting the wave I saw a bright light coming from the emblem on the box - Then I lost consciousness.

When I woke up - to my surprise - I was on a tropical island beach. It all did not make a pile - Powerful punch thrown me in a boat in the middle of the Baltic Sea and now I found myself a few meters from the tropical forest and at the entrance were large, tropical coconut palms. I decided that I would try to find a captain - or any sign of civilization to get help.
following along the beach came across a massive boulder - quite unusual thing in the centre of the beach - But what surprised me more on top of the boulder there was the same sign as the box with the map. I walked him around and found some other obscure symbols - one of them was in a central position and seemed to be the basis of all the other characters. I heard a rustle behind me and suddenly I felt a needle prick in the back of the neck and when I checked, what pricked me, my hand found a wooden dart driven into the side of my neck. Then I passed out again.

When I came to myself, it turned out that I was lying on a bench in the port. Next to me was lying a small wooden box - I threw myself into it and discovered that in the middle is only a screw cap on cheap whiskey with engraved characters SG.
It reminded me of captain of a small green boat, and the red name of it - Falcon. I started asking questions about it and its owner. However, none of the fishermen at the port nor any of the people in the bar couldn't give me any information - what more they looked at me like I was an idiot. Resigned, without a map I returned home and forgot about that case.

However, three months ago I came across an old junk whiskey nut lying from under the bed and typed SG on google graphic search. I found the most amazing, freaky tattooed girls with a crazy ideas. That's pretty all.
And going back to the topic: " how-did-you-find-steamgifts" I can clearly answer - I have no idea man, really no idea.

Well, first a friend told me about SPAH(Steampowered achievement hunters) and I registered there. Slightly later they had an announcement that they were making their first giveaway on SG. I curiously checked out what that meant and was linked to a giveaway here in which I noticed that my friend had made the last comment... so that meant that this place MUST be good... don't remember what happened next... the first month or so is kind of a blur. ^_^
