I had a GA ending this morning at 9:28 GMT+2, which can be seen as ending at 8/8 8:88 =P

Eight! Thanks
I have no interesting number facts. Except, well, did you know that in ancient Greece, there was no number smaller than one (known as unity)? If you needed to work with fractions of one, you needed to redefine the original number. e.g. If you wanted a half (0.5), you would make the original item have a value of 2, in order to halve it to 1.

Psh, and you said you had no interesting number facts. That was plenty interesting to me!

I'm sorry? I don't get it. Maybe I'm just a bit dense though.

Yes I do. Oh, you mean two thumbs up, I guess? binary was the first thing i thought of when you posted that with the parenthesis to denounce base 2, but I didn't get what it had to do with anything, or why i'd take offense to it.

Well I was born on 11/11/83, so I guess now I will have to make a really big train on 11/11/22. Or maybe 11/11/29!
Also bump!

So I checked my notifications this morning after a night of sleep and between this thread and the giveaways, there's 80+! I'm legitimately surprised that so many people are celebrating the Day of 8s with me :'D You guys are the best. Lets keep up the celebration! tosses 8 bundles of confetti in the air

What a weird thing to celebrate day like that
But then again, we can celebrate as much as we like
You can celebrate your birthday everyday too! But then you're getting older 1 year everyday xD
So, Happy 8s? xD

Like the title says, tomorrow (or today, depending on when and where you're reading this) is the Day of 8s. Now, what does that mean? I'm glad you asked! the date will be 8/8/16 (or 8/8/16 or 16/8/8, depending on where you're from). 8 + 8 = 16. Therefore, it is the day of 8s. In celebration of this arbitrary grouping of numbers, I made my first train! And what else to call it but the TRAIN OF 8s! I was tempted on putting 4 games in it, but I like you, steamgifts gifter and giftees. No, I put in the more logical 8 games.
Yes, 8 games is the right move here. While they may not all suit your tastes, they all have their own little spin on life! What does that mean? Well, you'll just have to view the train to find out! Honestly, I don't even know, but say enough words and someone will eventually find meaning in them!
Oh, and in case you STILL aren't satisfied with this one-day-only celebration, I also made a public giveaway, giving away two more titles! Why two additional games you may ask? Well elementary, my dear gifter/giftee combo person! 8 * 2 = 16, and tomorrow has both an 8 AND a 2! Numbers have a funny way of coming back to bug us, huh? Math is fun :3
Sorry there isn't a creative description on every giveaway. I ususally try to make one, but I noticed the 8s at the last second and had to quickly gather tribute to appease
themyou...also I have work in the morning...Ahem, now for some discussion to wrap up the festivities! Tell me some of your favorite number stuff! Or just post gifs and bump the thread and stuff. Oh, and some official stuff: Giveaways are all level 1+ so that people who help the community a little can join in, and they start at 11:59PM EST on the 7th, running all day until 8:08PM on 8/8/16
