The most reasonable one to me is 1st one I guess, but still too lazy, good luck to other people.

I've got both of the games, but now I'm interested in watching a video of myself doing pushups. I guess it would be good to see if there's something wrong with my form.
I also like the Kiva one. I've got a loan on there that should be payed back by the end of August.

First Entry? Setting the bar low, I know.
The random stops are me taking a breath. I haven't sung this enough to no when to breath.

I liked your "make a puzzle" giveaway better, much much better. :P
And this time, you didnt even guarantee, that the people who send you the stuff will be invited, you will just randomly pick them. :P :D Thats just mean, man, just mean. ^_^
But as I see, people love this idea. :D So its cool, just my opinion passed by. :)

This ends on my birthday. :D
Will probably make an entry. Question, could I play an existing song on my guitar or piano instead of singing one?

xD didn't expect that. Too bad it's not the right day!

No one expects my soothing tones, my melodic mastery, my lyrical dominance... But it is there, waiting for the moment to strike... Up till Jiji chewed on the cable until it split.

A critical discussion of reasons why Verksies should be allowed to enter this giveaway
It has long been established that the giveaways created by Mew2 are extremely elitist, and only very few may be allowed to enter (SteamGifts, 2013), however there are also many reasons which classify Verksies as elite enough to be considered a chance at entering.
Reasons why Verksies should be allowed to enter on a personal level
Verksies is a relatively new member to the SteamGifts community, having only joined 4 months ago (SteamGifts, 2013), however during this short time span she has given away nearly $400 worth of games to the community. With this in mind, it is safe to assume she is not a leecher.
It is also noted, that Verksies is an active member within the forums, with an accumulation of 2533 comments, to 2713 giveaways (SteamGifts, 2013). Whilst it is acknowledged by the writer that this is not a 1:1 ratio, it is still a considerably high one, and one that should be considered a positive attribute to Verksies’ reasons for being given permission to enter.
To add to this, she is also an active member of many groups, including one of which is in Mew2’s ownership (Mew.Gifts). Within this group, she has obtained the rank of Moderator (Mew.Gifts, 2013), which is a position of trust. During her time as moderator, she has made puzzles and giveaways, which had no benefit to herself other than the joy of other people enjoying her puzzles.
An Expert’s viewpoint
It is acknowledged by the writer, that the judgement for allowing Verksies to enter this giveaway relies solely on the creator himself. Although Verksies may claim that all of the above is true, it is the sole decision of Mew2 do decide whether or not they deem this worthy enough for her to be allowed to enter. In the Journal of Philosophy, it is written “Yet it is the most common thing in the world for a person to decide that he should, (or should not) do so-and-so on ground of loyalty to his friend, family, organization, community, country or species". (The Journal of Philosophy, page 173). I would like to draw the reader to 3 main words within this quote. “organization”, “community” and “Species”. As mentioned previously, Verksies is a loyal member of Mew.Gifts, which for the purpose of this essay will be classified as Mew2’s organization, she is also part of SteamGifts, which is the same community to which Mew2 belongs to. It can also be assumed that they both are in fact human, however no verification has been given to what Species mew2 may belong to. If we consider these points, then it is only natural that Mew2 would want Verksies to have permission to enter the giveaway.
In another article titled Win-Win Ecology : How the Earth's Species Can Survive in the Midst of Human Enterprise
, Micheal L Rosenzweig says “"we are all human beings. We share a stake in the world we are building. No one wants it to be sterile and lonely". (2003, Page 2). One can apply this to Mew2’s giveaway. Is it fair to only allow 1 or 2 people to enter, will they not get lonely? Are they not human beings? From a Personal perspective, it is my belief that there will be a happier population within the giveaway if more people were there as company. After all it is a well-known fact that human beings are a social creature.
Conclusion
To conclude, there have been many points raised about why Verksies should be allowed to enter, however it has also been acknowledged that there is only one person who may decide this. It has not been proven whether or not Verksies is elite enough to enter, however there have been many points made which show her true worth as to why she should be allowed this opportunity.

I started trading less than a month ago, and have had a great experience so far (barring that one incident). Now that I've reached 100 +rep on SteamTrades, I thought I'd celebrate this occasion with a little giveaway. So here it is! No. Actually I want to hold a contest event of sorts. Here are the rules:
There will be two giveaways. One for Payday: The Heist and another for Unreal Deal Pack
You may enter the contest by:
Uploading a video of your performing 25 pushups or 50 situps without pause (with your SG username visible somewhere without adding it in digitally) and post it here.
Taking a picture of your pet doing a handstand (with your SG username visible somewhere in the picture) and post it here.
Record an original song or sing along to an existing song (include your username by speaking/singing it) and post it here.
Provide a loan at Kiva and post proof of your loan (again, with your username) here.
Record a podcast episode of your own (5 minutes minimum and 30 minutes maximum) and must include your SG username) about any topic and link it here.
Write an original essay about why you want to enter (yes, please include your username). 100-1000 words and it must be in English. Please cite all your sources if applicable.
When you post in response to this thread, please include whether you want to be considered for the Payday giveaway or the Unreal giveaway. You may submit multiple entries but can only submit once per category. Contestants whose entries I like will be invited to the appropriate Steam group for the giveaway. If your entry is exceptionally good, you may be invited to both groups and giveaways!
The event has ended. Thank you for participating and congratulations to the winners!
