Thanks for the giveaway, GamezRanker!

Some of the best memories I've had are when we go on trips outside the country. I've been to plenty places around the world and they were all wonderful moments. My most recent trip was to Singapore just before the pandemic started. I must say, it's an awesome place.

I'm in for Shadow Man. Thanks again!

Thanks for opportunity to read all that good memories.
I am in for both prizes.


One of the good memory about my childhood is that. We wanted to climb a mountain with my friends , we started to walk at 4 am in that day after 10 hours of walking and climbing we actually at the top of the mountains. We were exausted. And we slept like 1 hour there near a good fire. Ah that was very relaxing. i never felt that relaxing moment at my life again

In the past 1-2 years I managed to reignite my father's love for fishing. During April to October period we were going to fish on various location in up to 80km radius at least once a month. Not every fishing trip is worth mentioning of course, though it's always enjoyable to be near water surrounded by nature even when the fish don't bite much.

28th of August 2020 was a day I'll remember forever though. It was pretty long trip into an unknown region with just few directions I received from an acquaintance that was fishing there before a while ago. After some searching for a good place I spotted a clearing which had almost magical aura. My initial feeling turned out to be right and we had a fishing day of a lifetime.

We're not anglers obsessed with monster catches, we prefer catching medium size fish, 500g to 1kg. On that day we were catching many different fish and many were over 1kg which is for our standards pretty rare, almost epic. At times we felt like we could catch fish with our bare hands if we wanted or that they would jump into the fishnet willingly on their own.

And then the drive home. Realistically, I was absolutely worn out but I was so happy that I felt like I could move a mountain. Smiling all along. Like a cool movie scene lived through.

Thanks for the giveaway, GamezRanker. I'll apply for a place in the store credit hat if I may. Cheers! :)

Thanks for another giveaway and for giving the heads up in the main giveaway thread. I'd like to try my chances with the store credit!
1 Spending the Summer holidays last year at my best friend's place at the seaside, with my then boyfriend and her 3 lovely dogs. It's been a moment of joy in a generally though year. We still talk about the nighttime baths and can't wait to repeat this year.
2 I haven't had a great childhood but the best things for me was the discovery of new exciting books, comics, and videogames. When I was 7 and I bought my first gamebook I was simply excited at all the adventures that where waiting for me from the Librogame catalogue. Me and mother were poor so I couldn't have many, and I've completed the collection in my adulthood out of nostalgia.

Hello, thank you for your generous giveaway that you are holding.

A good memory I recall from the last year is being able to spend more time with my family. With being enclosed by the pandemic, I was able to have more time to do activities with my family like take walks and have talks about today. It is still a great memory because being able to spend time with my family, we have grown closer during the pandemic.

A funny moment from my childhood was on a winter when I went sledding. My friends and I would go to a hill where there was snow that was located near a small river. We wanted to have extreme fun and brought some shovels and buckets to built a huge ramp to jump huge in the air. since we had two sleds, the first group of two people went and when they hit the ramp, their sled broke in half when they landed. Then when it was my friend and I next, we gave a little push and started to slowly go fast. When we were about to hit the ramp, we pushed back for some reason and we sent flying. However, when we got pushed back, both of us flew of the sled and ending up coming down and digging a huge hole of where we fell. The sled we lost turned out to hit a tree and broke in half as well since both were plastic.

When I was a child I remember that my uncle picked me up and held me way up high upside down so that my feet could touch the ceiling of our living room. He the let me walk around up there for a bit and he made me feel really special. He passed away about four years back and I really miss him.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity, GamezRanker.

I am in only for the store credit, as I already have Shadow Man (and more than enough rep).

I might be slightly stretching the concept of a memory from the last couple of years here, as mine is only from 9 days ago, but still it feels so momentous that I think it will remain with me for a long time. Well, you see, last week my wife and I finally got our first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. By itself, it was a rather mundane procedure, but in the context of the last year or so, it made us feel quite emotional and hopeful for a better future for us and for everyone else.

Thanks again.

I went down to the beach on a summer holiday in July 2019 with some close family and friends for a week.
Sounds like a nice time.....the ocean is another favorite interest of mine, such as in: Bioshock 1/2, the film the Poseidon Adventure, etc etc.

So what did ya do, if I may ask? Swim in the water? Have a nice cook out perhaps? :D

Anyhoo, yer set for the draws, so GL!

Time with loved ones and pets....what more could one ask for? Here's to hoping you can get back to making/enjoying more memories with them soon. :)

GamezRanker: Question
(answer one, or both)

What is one good memory/moment you can recall involving yourself and/or family/friends over the last 1-2 years?

What is one good memory/moment you can recall from your childhood?

===============================
Well, a good memory with my family it would be a couple of years ago, when my family celebrated my Grandma's Birthday!
And a good memory from my childhood is play with my friends at the arcades, I miss the arcade so much, all those afternoons spending my pocket money with friends, trying to beat Rugal in TKoF '95!!!! So many laughs and swearing LOL, after the arcade closed was really sad for me, a couple of years ago my friends and I found the storage where the old owner keeps their machinea, all cover in dust, we pffer to buy TKoF but their sons disagree, such a boomer :/
Okay, this became a depressive story. Thanks GameRanker for the giveaway. I even make a meme for this, I'm in! :)

Hey, it's my boy GamezRanker with another GA, thanks mate, it's bent a while since the last time I entered a GA, I'll like to enter for the credit prize

(Q)What is one good memory/moment you can recall involving yourself and/or family/friends over the last 1-2 years?
Fortunately, I don't witness any calamity in my family or my life these past years, so I can say everything is good, but a remarkable moment would definitively be when my causing came for vacations, it doesn't look like something special, but we didn't meet for a whole year, we're really close since kids, so seeing them again was a really good moment

(Q) What is one good memory/moment you can recall from your childhood?
Watching Thomas and his friends and playing Super Smash Bros on an emulatutor of N64

In for the $15 draw! Thank you for the chance and generosity!

No good memories in the last two decades (at least, none that wasn't immediately followed by a really bad one).

Good memories from childhood revolve around my grandpa. Spending afternoons with him were the only memories I'd like to keep till I die. He was a giving, selfless and loving person, who left too soon. I wish I'd appreciated that when I was a toddler.

I don't have a specific memory to pick, but he'd pick me up in the afternoons or weekends and we'd go on "adventures" together (from dog walking and/or hiking to visiting my my great-grandad who owned a candy shop, or his brother who owned a video rental shop. And sometimes we'd just have dinner in the backyard just the two of us and he'd tell me stories about a young magician who went to a magic school and was getting into trouble all the time - this was way before Harry Potter.)
Posted April 08, 2021
Thank you for the giveaway! I'm happy to participate.

For a recent good memory, I was happy to be present when my relative overcame a previous fear of cats after meeting and playing with two friendly ones.
