So I bought a couple extra Bundle-in-a-Box bundles (not including the extras) and my friends aren't interested now.

Their loss is your gain. I will give away an unclaimed key to the person who best answers the question: Why didn't you buy the bundle when it was active?

I'm looking for creative answers more along the lines of "aliens kidnapped my grandmother and I needed to pay her ransom" rather than "I didn't know about the bundle".

This giveaway will run for at least 2 days, until I decide whose story I like best.


Picking a winner has been quite difficult. I wish I had a couple hundred keys to give away to all the creative writers in this thread. However, after much thought and gnashing of teeth, I have decided to award the bundle to Mythrilshotgun. I'm sure the games will come in handy while he's hiding from those spies and assassins. ;)

And thank you to everyone else who entered, I quite enjoyed reading all the posts.

So I was sent to a spaceship to work as a janitor when the bundle came out. While I was cleaning the deck, thinking about buying the bundle, some security guard trips on the wet floor even through there was a sign, and then pistol whips me till i'm knocked out. When I wake up, theres an asshole of a clown sitting in the same cell with my honking his nose and slapping me with his shoe. The security guard didn't care, and when I asked him to at least tell him to stop, he shot me in the leg and said "I AM THE LAW". After a while, apparently scientists in the ship decided it would be awesome to flood the ship's air system with neurotoxins before the security guard was nice enough to open the door and we got masks. During the neurotoxin flood, the ship's AI decide to recreate 2001: A space odyssey and opened an air lock killing at least 10 people, including the captain. After the door was closed, terrorists stole nuke codes and were planning to nuke the US and stole my wallet. I quit the job and went home, and it turns out the terrorists nuked themselves somehow.

And thats why I didn't buy the bundle.

I didn't buy it because… oh wait, I did.

It's funny because I had to Google it and read their site before I remembered I did. Bugger me, I really am getting old.

I planned on going back in time with my amazing time machine, but my friend Lex borrowed it. Let's just say Superman decided to burn up his house, take Lex, and send my time machine to Outer Space. It's gonna take awhile for my other pal Batman to come back and get it, probly a couple years, and I really don't like waiting. Its either that or building a new time machine, but this route's cheaper...

I could say that I didn't buy the bundle because I don't have or use Paypal. While that's technically correct, I was also doing battle with ninja polar bears in the jungles of Africa. While using laser swords and the like to shave and porcupine quills as toothpicks. I eventually ran out of exploding chainsaws for my shotgun, so I had to form a blood pact with the devil-gator clan, who are very vicious alligators. They also pirated ships in the past as a hobby.

So, to summarize, I initiated a ninja polar bear versus pirate alligator war in Africa. That's why I couldn't buy the bundle.

My friends took my wallet, shoved it into my eye socket, and threw it into a lake.

Because you came from the future to kill me and avoid that I bought the bundle.

Finally, I convinced your future "you" not to kill me if I didn't buy the bundle so you could buy it for me and save the future world.

I bought the bundle in a box. Left it on the coffee table that night. When I woke up the next day my front door was ajar and there was no bundle in a box, there was a dick in a box. Needless to say, I was not amused.

This is why I didn't buy the bundle.

Really, I did buy it, built a bundle of 6 games. I picked up HiV 5 and Indiegala 5 on the same day. :)

I do regret not adding Beep to my bundle though.

Ok, well, my journey starts when I was 10. My parents gave me a strange necklace and said: "We're leaving. You'll know when to use it." Then I lived my life for 8 years in an orphanage. Some random person called and said: "We have something for you." So I went with them, and they took me to a mysterious ruin and left me there. It was sealed off, but there was an indent in the wall. The indent matched my necklace perfectly. So, I put it in. I found a mysterious civilization. They praised me as their leader, saying my parents were the founders of this wonderful village hidden in a sealed-off ruin. They gave me food, shelter, training, gold, weapons, anything I wanted. But one day, I decided to leave this place and return to my birthplace, Ohio. They all wanted me to stay, but I left anyway. The day I came back was the day the Bundle stopped selling, so I was never able to buy that amazing bundle of PC games. I cried for a month straight.

I didn't buy the bundle when it was active because I was in space, riding my horse through the milky way vanquishing the piling hordes of evil man-bird-dogs with curly Q mustaches. I slayed their king, and missed the bundle.
Basically I had no money.

Anyone else? :)

I'm going to start whittling down the choices now, so further entries may not be considered unless they are "epic".
