The_Blog: Respectful snipping... :)

F = Freebie (some of my freebies were gifted away)

Pajama: How did you manage to do this? I wanted to buy a game to gift but managed to snag it as a freebie and so the gift button was greyed out. Anyhow, long story short, I've now got a game that I do not want and would love to gift it but don't know how. Thanks.
I already owned the game. That way it didn't get activated, but I recieved a giftcode on my gift site:

skeletonbow: Hey, just read about your 8-crit haul, congrats on that! Nice stroke of coincidence in your favour!

INFERNO.COP: Ha, thanks. Two of those came minutes apart from one another. So yeah, pretty sure I used up a whole year's worth of magical sand. Heh.
I looked out the window to see if there were any pink elephants flying in the sky when I won my first crit, as I went through the first two promos with 0 wins, but I ended up with 3 within 24 hours and it brought balance back to the universe. :) I ran out of magical sand after that though. :)

CarrionCrow: A quick note regarding Anomaly Defenders -

The final level can be beaten by putting five turrets on a section of ground that has a corner.

Once you have those towers, you hold down the fast-forward button to make all seventeen waves of enemy units drive through that section.

They drove that direction because I had a resource gatherer there.

They were too stupid to do anything else.

It wasn't even gathering anything anymore, but onward they drove.

You might think that someone, some commander, would stop the attack long enough to change course by wave 4 or 5, that maybe the combination of torn metal and mangled bodies, the haze of gasoline fires in the air, the hollow boom of explosions and the shrieking of the dying, might have been enough to tell those units to go another way.

You would be wrong.

It got dumber and dumber, more and more absurd. I waited for them to change their path, break my defense, shift the direction of the aerial attacks that had for some reason decided to go in a single straight line from north to south on a path that had absolutely zero targets.

But none of that ever happened.

My five turrets mowed down vehicle after vehicle, a seemingly endless lather/rinse/repeat of destroying enemies and healing, destroying and healing.

It was like fighting a war against 150,000 people, an entire country's worth of opponents, only they all appeared to attack in single-file, and they all let me put my gun in their mouth first and then fire, until no one was left.

Suicidal cows on their way to the local slaughterhouse seemed less eager to die than my empty-headed opponents, and so I obliged them.

Anything to make the game end.
So poetic! Brings a tear to my eye.

Why didn't you record that shit?!
This has been the most exciting sale that I have ever participated in, mainly because of this awesome community. Thanks for the experience, and now that its over, I probably should get around to playing some of my games.
It's... It's over? What will I do with my life now??

Thanks to all the generous people who gifted games, and inspired me to gift as well. It's been fun :).

Now, when's the next sale? I still need to complete my Sierra quest collection.

Mister-Gosh: Being a single dad looking for a job. That's quite time consuming to search for employment given the current situation here.
That's bad, I wish you all good luck on the world. I've also been looking for a new job for a while now, but luckily I'm not unemployed, just unchallanged and underpaid. Hope you find some time to play your new games!

Bonne Chance!

Challenge accepted!
Good morning!

Seems the sale is finally over and I missed the big party at the end while I was sleeping.

It's a little strange to see the "empty" homepage again after a week.

xep624: In Australia they usually say G'Day! Ad it's early afternoon here already of Monday 9th....
My bad. Well, it is now morning on Monday here, and must now be evening there. So, before I head off to earn the funds for the next sale I will leave with a movie line:

"Good morning! And in case I do not see you, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night!" :-)
