That's good. He deserves Terraria.
It's an old-school game, and if there's anything I found out about him is that he is definitely old-school!! :toast:
Congrats Mad Shot.

Now that we've got Terraria squared away, there are two unexpected entrants into the ring. In no particular order:


Give another shout-out to AlienIsGOD. This time around, enjoy some good "clean" fun with Dirt 3.


Not content to simply watch from the sidelines, the one who started all of this has gotten in on the action. Introducing the one and only, theonedub. The contribution that is being made is The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.

*Credit for both pictures goes to wherever I bummed them from. Thank you interwebz!*



9 games. 9 lucky winners, not to mention ThE MaD ShOt winning Terraria. Less than 24 hours left. Have you entered yet?

Just a heads up. The game that theonedub is offering was The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. This is the first game, and not the Witcher 2. He made that clear in his PM, but I might not have been so clear, my apologies if I've caused confusion.

RULE CHANGE - PLEASE READ!


It seems like every time I think things are over another member of the community steps forward and gets involved. All I can say is that this is why I keep coming back.

As such, the contest has been extended. Barring additional generosity, the contest will end on Sunday the 2nd rather than Saturday the first. Additionally, the ending will not be noon, but midnight. Looking for who to thank, that'd be FordGT90Concept and silkstone.

As is the tradition, look for something more to be announced and added to the pile today followed by one more announcement tomorrow. Where, when, and what? That would ruin the surprise. All I can say is that the number of prizes will be increasing from 9 to 12. At this rate, we may even be able to swing a lucky number 14 (I'm still seeing if I can get a couple more).

I will be contacting everyone on Monday morning (early, early) so that all of the initial winners will have Monday to download the games (those in the US get to enjoy the games on Labor Day). I never thought there would be so much to give-away at once. I love being here!

You thought it was over? Guess you haven't been reading the more recent posts.


May I introduce the next crazy generous member of these forums, FordGT90Concept. In what is getting to be a very common occurance, we have two copies of Demigod.
*Picture bummed from a google search, credit goes to wherever I got it from*​


That isn't it. Remember that we've still got silkstone's contribution to see tomorrow, and there have been a few more copies of games been made available. Both Worms: Reloaded and Section 8: Prejudice now have two copies up for grabs.



A lot to keep track of, no? It will get easier tomorrow. I will post a complete list of games included in this give-away (crediting those people who made it possible). I will also post a list of everyone who is currently entered. You've got 36 hours left to get in on this, I'd suggest you do if you've been putting it off until now...

What keeps me coming back?:

This is my virtual home. I love staying on top of the latest hardware news, topics to just shoot the breeze in, and I'm always learning new things as I learn forward in hardware be it fixing problems or little things that you might not know about of your current hardware and what its capable of. TPU is also my homepage. I also swing by for sweet deals on hardware and post pics of my rigs and see what others have. I get lots of mod ideas from here. I currently crunch and fold for TPU and being on those teams is awesome. Great people that come together to fight the cause and just get to know. Theres been soo much help on here and its a awesome community to be apart of. Its nothing like other sites where people just pass through. Alot of those that come here keep coming back and some even made it a home like I have.

This is a great giveaway your doing and its already bring alot of people into which is the TPU way.

The list is coming.

In the mean time, we've got another two nuggets of awesome!

First, let's thank silkstone for coming to the party. What came this time, Half Life 2: Episode 2. Haven't played it, then you're missing out on a game that every PC gamer should play.

The second comer, as the astute readers amongst you might know, is Nexuiz. manofthem has been gracious enough to increase our number of Nexuiz winners to three. If you can't get a game going off that many people then there's something wrong.

*Same tip to the fact that I bummed pictures. This time they're large, but so worth it*​


That should be the last of it. Stay tuned for the current prize/entrants lists.

If I still had human emotions I'd cry. This kind of awesomeness is unreal... Luckily I'm from the internet, and it takes a meme (or computer help question) to make one of us cry...(awkward silence at bad joke)...

Fantastic long list of games... and (relatively) short list of potential winners. Looks like a lot of members are going to be lucky tonight! :) What a champ lilhasselhoffer is with this giveaway!

Please note that I have DeusX and HL2, so please keep me out of the hat for those two... and let someone else have a chance at winning them.
