Giveaway: Lots-o-loot

happita · Aug 29, 2012

That's definitely a GREAT list of games to be won. Bumping this to let others have a chance to enter the contest and win some of these awesome games.

Darkleoco · Aug 30, 2012

Very nice giveaway you have here hasselhoffer

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Aug 30, 2012

I keep coming back for all of the women. :pimp:

Also all the great friends I have made on here. :toast:

lilhasselhoffer · Aug 30, 2012

The storm has arrived. I hope everyone out there is paying attention!

We've got a give-away within a give-away. Lightning give-away time people! Anyone who enters in the next 24 hours will be entered for both the other (7 games) prize pool, and for a copy of Terraria.

What, you've already entered? No harm no foul. Post the phrase "Better luck next time sucka!" and you're entered for Terraria. I didn't catch you asleep at the wheel, so I need to be called out.

Duration: 24 hours, ends 11:30 EST on Friday
Qualifications: Enter, or call me out on not catching you asleep at the wheel. Steam account.

Enter at your own peril. Terraria is like potato chips, one hour just isn't enough time. At least, not enough time to build a giant golden tower...

Edit: Forgot about the lightning, and added it.

I come back to TPU again and again so I can troll themailman.

"Better luck next time sucka!"

theonedub · Aug 30, 2012

I'd like to add the copy of The Witcher I have left over from my last giveaway to your prize pool. I believe its the Enhanced version, Steam Gift sitting in my inventory.

happita · Aug 30, 2012

I want to be entered for 1 extra game....Worms:Reloaded. If I don't win Deus Ex, I want Worms to be my fallback game :laugh:

1 last reason why I keep coming back to TPU.

Fairly unbiased reviews of Video Cards and Motherboards. I don't really look at the other reviews, but these 2 sections are solid imo

I guess a winner for each game will be announced on Friday night?

You're entered for everything, and the drawing is Saturday. Once the winners are selected it will be a first come first served prize claim.

*With the exception of Terraria. I will announce the winner for that on Friday.*

"What keeps you coming back to TPU."

1. The community is nice, very active, helpful and professional, unlike most communities which has alot of internet tough guys, although there is a moderate amount of trolling here which is actually fun. :laugh:

2. The layout is the best, simple and easy to use, and it uses all my browser window, Most forums hurts my eyes. :wtf:

3. This is my primary source of the latest news and developments about tech stuff. :toast:

4. These Giveaways! :respect:
