Merry Christmas FOFC!!!

[EagleFan]

I am feeling the Christmas Spirit and wanted to offer that to those at FOFC. The only catch, I hope that everyone pays it forward in some manner.

Oh, the other catch is that I am making it like a bit of a game. :)

I will be gifting the following games from Steam:

Grid
Psychonauts
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut
Orcs Must Die
Demolition, Inc.
The Binding of Isaac
Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West (3)
Company of Heroes
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Clive Barker's Jericho
Defense Grid: The Awakening
MLB 2K11
Awesome Indie Bundle


Now for the 'contest' portion:

I have randomly selected from 1 through 20 and slotted the 15 games, a 75% chance of picking picking out a game.

Once the numbers 1 through 20 have been selected I will reveal the slots. This way it's not simply the first people that see the thread get something. :)

[SackAttack]

PM'ed. Thanks again!

[TRO]

Very awesome of you EagleFan, Merry Christmas to you.

[EagleFan]

As for the games, here is my impression of the games if I have tried any yet.

Grid - Never played on the PC but have on the 360 and this is a great racing game.

Psychonauts - Never played

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut - Have heard good things about.

Orcs Must Die - This is a lot of fun.

Demolition, Inc. - This is also a lot of fun, causing havok is always fun.

The Binding of Isaac - No idea.

Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West (3) - No idea, though I will find out soon (getting the 4 pack for this one, hence the 3 given away).

Company of Heroes - Seems like a fun game, tried it on my older laptop and it couldn't run it well (the laptop was about 5 years old).

Medal of Honor: Airborne - This was a lot of fun, I love WW2 shooters.

Clive Barker's Jericho - No idea but I heard very good things about it.

Defense Grid: The Awakening - This is a GREAT game.

MLB 2K11 - I ripped it when I played it on the 360 but eventually I tried it on the PC and I like it a lot better on the PC.

Awesome Indie Bundle - There are usually some gems in these bundles.

[PilotMan]

I have CoH already, so unless someone is interested in trading for it, you can pass it along to one of the empty slots. Merry Christmas!

[heybrad]

Wow... thanks. My steam ID is heybrad.

[SackAttack]

Just noticed that Lead and Gold's dual-core requirement means it won't run on my machine. If any of the others want to swap, I'm game.

If not, one of the runners-up can take my spot. I'd rather L&G go to someone who's able to run it than just sit in my library until the nebulous date when I finally upgrade my machine. :)

[EagleFan]

Wow... thanks. My steam ID is heybrad.

Trying to search for heybrad and Steam is telling me not found.

Let me know if you guys work out a switch. Getting out some of the other ones at the moment.

[EagleFan]

search result is giving me heybradhey and heybradley

[SackAttack]

I'm up for it if you are, PilotMan.

[MacroGuru]

mine is macroguru

[EagleFan]

Grabbing a bite for dinner. I'll check back in a little while to see who else has sent ID's.

Could thesloppy and heybrad verify in thread if they have received my Steam friend request. There were a few close matches to the ID's so I want to make sure I pick the right one before sending.

You can also friend me and let me know who you are (if it's not obvious), I use the same name there: EagleFan

[thesloppy]

I have not (unless you are King_of_Ling from Australia). I sent a request from my account.

Unfortunately I'm with you on this one. The game looks a little too beefy for my best computer too. I'd rather it go to someone who could actually play it.

[EagleFan]

I have not (unless you are King_of_Ling from Australia). I sent a request from my account.

coharaqa? the only invite that I see.

[EagleFan]

Not sure if Steam is case sensitive but my id is actually all lower case (if that makes any difference).

[thesloppy]

coharaqa? the only invite that I see.

Hmmm, that's most certainly me....although Steam insists that my SteamID is something else.

[EagleFan]

Sent invites to MacroGuru and heybrad, tried again with thesloppy.

Let me know if you got the invites and I'll send out the games after confirmation.

If anyone wants to trade with PilotMan or SackAttack let me know. If not I'll come up with a solution.

[PackerFanatic]

This game sucks :-P

Just kidding...damn nice of ya to do this in general EF. You rock.

[Thomkal]

kallor3 is my steam account. Thanks very much Eaglefan

[EagleFan]

Sorry PF. Saw after you made you pick last night that it wasn't a good slot. First I accidentally curse your Packers and now this. What next, I'll find a way to sign Hathcock away from you? :)

[EagleFan]

kallor3 is my steam account. Thanks very much Eaglefan

dangamer33? That's what the search came up with at least. I see an FOFC reference so I am guessing that is right but want to make sure.

[Dodgerchick]

What an awesome idea, Eaglefan and Merry Christmas to you too :)

[Thomkal]

yeah have two id's kallor3 is the account name. got your friend invite.

[EagleFan]

Oh, thanks DC (meant to post that earlier and thought I did, memory going as getting older).


Also, sent to MacroGuru.

[JPhillips]

EF: HAHA! The only thing I bought on the Steam sale so far was the Witcher! If you don't mind how about passing it on to one of the five that didn't win? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[heybrad]

Trying to search for heybrad and Steam is telling me not found.
Hmm... maybe heybrad is just what it's displaying (although that's definitely what I sign in with). Try b.hawkins. I think that should work.

[EagleFan]

Sent a friend request to b.hawkins

[heybrad]

Accepted.

[BYU 14]

Very cool EF, merry Christmas to you as well! :)

[britrock88]

My Steam ID is also britrock88. Thanks, EF!

[EagleFan]

My search shows noahbrisbin. Is that right? Sent a friend request, let me know if you got it.

[EagleFan]

Going to get some sleep. Will continue getting them to everyone tomorrow.

If you haven't sent me email or Steam ID, do so when you get a chance.

[RendeR]

Finally figure mine out (been awhile since I used steam)

Bevier2018

[EagleFan]

I'll get back to getting the rest sent out tonight after I get home from work.

[PackerFanatic]

Sorry PF. Saw after you made you pick last night that it wasn't a good slot. First I accidentally curse your Packers and now this. What next, I'll find a way to sign Hathcock away from you? :)

Gah! Don't even joke about that! :-P

[SackAttack]

Hathcock? The sniper?

I didn't realize there was a fantasy Marine Corps game going on here.

[EagleFan]

Sent a Friend Request to RendeR and ISiddiqui. Let me know if you get them (fairly certain they are both the right person but want to make sure before sending).

[thesloppy]

Got mine, thanks again EF! Merry Xmas to you and yours!

[RendeR]

I accepted your friend request EF. Thanks again!

[ISiddiqui]

Got the friend request! Thanks! :)

[EagleFan]

Sent to ISiddiqui and RendeR.

[EagleFan]

I have update the post on the first page which shows who was slotted to what game with what has been sent so far. Please let me know if there was any trouble receiving (want to make sure that I get everything out correctly).

[ISiddiqui]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!! :)

[britrock88]

EF, you've got the right guy for me. I may have changed my name to britrock88, but it's right either way.

[RendeR]

Thank You EF! Looks pretty awesome!

[EagleFan]

Will send out more once I can get to my gifting screen, getting a server timeout every time I try at the moment.

[EagleFan]

Just saw why that is probably not responding, I see one of the achievements for today is to trade something so that server is probably being killed right about now.

[EagleFan]

sent to britrock88.

[PackerFanatic]

If anyone just plain wants a new Steam buddy, feel free to add me - should be able to find me at abelonger.

[CrimsonFox]

Great!one of the 2 games I wanted. Can't go wrong with a clive barker title.
will get it to you today ef. Have been stupid busy lately.

[EagleFan]

Sent to CF.

[EagleFan]

Looks like I still need to get games out to Suicane75 and segrat. I also see that one of the Lead and Gold copies didn't reach someone, trying to figure out who didn't get it (don't see an easy way to track the gifts on Steam, though I may be missing a screen).

[EagleFan]

dola: it also looks like a couple that I sent haven't been received. If you didn't get the gift or gift notice let me know and I will try it again.

[britrock88]

I have the notice. Thanks again!

Hey you 5,

Have any of the 5 of you never played/not have Half Life 2 or HL2: Episode 1?

I've got an extra copy of each if you want it.

Damn! I wish I was your lover
