If the answer is no, hear me out, and I may have a chance to help you out.

Imagine a tough day at work or at school. Everyone goes through some of these, some more often than others. But there are people out there, seemingly untouched, unphased by minor mishaps or major douchebags. These people have Balls of Steel.

Now, you may have been unaware of the concept, or maybe thought that balls of steel were for other people, some lucky few with the gift of utter control over situations around them. You might have been content with meatballs or plastic balls so far in your life, never knowing about the potential of Balls of Steel. Women in particular might think: What can I do with Balls of Steel? Well ladies, put your minds at ease, there is plenty you can do with Balls of Steel.

Some say that Balls of Steel can only be earned, through training, devotion or hard cash. And maybe this is true in general, but this time next week, this will not be true for one of you, as I'm giving you Balls of Steel as a gift, giving you the chance to be able to talk to Duke Nukem during a reception without getting embarassed due to lack of Balls of Steel.

You may ask why?

Well, because this is a hidden gem. And while it's more than worth its price given all the content, replayability, discoveries to be had, I can imagine many people passing up on it because it's a Pinball-game and costs close to six dollars, which some might consider too much for the genre. I also think it's a buit too obscure to go on sale any time soon. While these people are wrong to miss this chance, it is understandable. I want to raise awareness of how great this game is, and I want at least one other person to get the chance to enjoy this. I know for a fact the winner will enjoy it, and maybe think of grimgroove once in a while during all the endless amount of happy hours spent on this game, getting rid of any stress you may have had before booting this up.

How to apply?
1. Post in this topic, stating you are in for this giveaway.
2. (optional) Provide us with an anecdote where you have shown balls of steel, i.e. where you have shown great courage.

Next week I will put the names of all who have applied in the Random.org generator.

For those who don't really know what I'm talking about and think I'm some deranged cyborg sex-freak:

Not in, just showing support for this game, I have it and it's a barrel o' fun™.
Oh man, this is about a game, and halfway through I've thought this would be some ad to sell these: Balls of steel
Not in as the last Pinball game I've played was Tristan Pinball, and sucked at it, but thanks for your generosity :).
My immediate impulse when reading any Duke Nukem thread is to respond, "Blow it out your ass." Then I imagine how it will be misunderstood and refrain, spoiling my own best fun. Not super relevant, I know.
I'm in.
Well....I have Ball of Steel, which is close enough so not it.
poor tinye, he only has one ball of steel :p

i am in, but i have never done anything courageus i guess as walking in a burning building to rescue someone or rescue a kitten from a tree. though i guess it took some courage with all the struggles i have faced in my life so far and probably will be facing in the future but i am still standing up.

I was hoping this thread is about the famous freeware game Blip & Blop - Balls of Steel. :D

Anyway, thanks for the giveaway! Not in.
Ooooh a pinball! I'm in, thanks!
Annnd I'm kinda doomed with balls of...uhm...marshmallow. Luckily, everyone else think they're boobs.

I'm not in this one, so you can loan one of mine. You're welcome .
The answer is YES and YES ;)
Thanks for reminding me posting in the BOS forum that the speed problem still persists. It would be a great old pinball-game but it's way to fast.

Just to make it clear: As I already own it Im NOT in.

Balls of Steel looks cool but I have plenty to play right now and have been planning to buy it myself eventually so I'll pass. Thanks! :)

Yes, the game you proposed is indeed the best PC Pinball Game.

That is, in a parallel universe that has no Balls of Steel. That universe is also knows as the Sewer System of Hell.

I'm talking about Balls of Steel here young man, not about Paper Circles floating around.
