Today, a co-worker and I partnered up and won a 1hr programming contest at work.

The prizes for first place were $100 Amazon gift cards, 2nd place got $50 cards, and 3rd place got $25 cards.

Yay, thought I, I can finally get GTAV because I've been unwilling to spend so much of my own earned money on one game.

Boo, the versions on Amazon won't activate on Steam.

So, I did what any sane person would do. I bought a $100 Steam Gift Card with my $100 Amazon Gift Card, and GTAV will be my 1000th game on my account according to the strange way Steam counts games on your profile page.

GTAV is expensive, but it's not $100, so you guys get a GA, because I like to share when I have good fortune.

This is one of my favorite games as of late, and I've played it on multiple platforms. Requirements are relatively easy to pass.

Also, since I've been a little butthurt at not being able to enter level 8 - 10 GAs for games I REALLY want, you have to be level 7.2 or lower to enter. :P

No, it isn't GTAV, but it's also not a bundle game.

Enjoy.

GTA V is one of the few games in my library i regret.. Alltho i haven't really touched single player so that may be good.

But hopefully you will enjoy it more then i did :)

Yeah, multiplayer... I... stay away from multiplayer portions of games unless I'm playing with friends. Otherwise, it's an exercise in frustration for me.

Example: Was playing The Crew the other night in uPlay (it was a Humble Bundle.. meh) and as I'm driving around trying to do the quests and get my bearings, this one guy who must've been like 12 or something by the way he was acting, pulled up alongside of me and revved his engine at me as we're both hurtling down this onramp to a highway. Then he tries to run into me.

I didn't retaliate. I SWEAR. I did nothing... but HE did scrape the divider and wipe out spectacularly. :P

GTAV I'm planning on ONLY playing single player unless I'm invited to play by a friend. I don't like the pay to play shark cards concept or whatever it is. I don't understand it, either.

Anyway, thanks. :)

I thought the shark cards were like the rest of the recent surge of grossly overpriced cheat code DLCs out there (for people that don't understand free cheat programs exist)? :P
[Versus being pay to play components.]

Thanks for the kind words everyone... I'd feel guilty if I started replying to everyone then accidentally missed someone, so I hope a blanket statement will do.

Also, I'm now starting to feel bad for making a level requirement because everyone's being so nice. sigh Maybe I'll make one with no level requirement later. :)

Edit: Also, whitelisting a bunch of people.

Congratulations on your win! I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to compete in a 1 hour programming contest, let alone winning one. :-)

The last thing I won was a bottle of whiskey. Can't make giveaways out of that unless you sell it back, which would be a shame. Congrats!

Congrats!
Had my eye on this game, but level too high for the giveaway. :(

EDIT: I have hidden giveaways that are above my level, so I don't even know what I'm missing.
