Would be nice to be able to see stats like this, but if I'd have to guess it would be some bundle game that I kept entering when everyone was flooding giveaways for it.

Wow! That;s some interesting data Admiral. How long do you think it took you to figure it all out? :)
I think mine would probably be System Shock EE. I've entered a ton of those lately.

You're damn right it is!
as evidenced by the copious amounts of games we have not given away to others

About an hour... but mind you I am at work so there were plenty of diversions from the important things in life... such as diverting myself from work!

Got SSEE from a Bundlestars bundle some time ago, and am currently playing it.
It's pretty awesome that it has mouse lock enabled now, makes it so much more easier to play than in the past.

I had something close to 130 entries for Grav before I won it.
Then it was bundled again a couple weeks later. -_-
EDIT: Correction, just checked - 143 entries total.

I've entered 173 DmC: Devil May Cry giveaways before winning it. That means 5190 points spent, and 1.41% of all giveways I have entered were for this game.

That one DLC is consuming 4% of my entries... at least it's not Bad Rats...

Go to this page (to find it, you have to click on the arrow button next to "Giveaways" on top of the page, then "View Entered" in the dropdown menu. You can also click on the "Entered" button on the left on the homepage).
Once you're there, you can see the total of entered giveaways at the bottom of the page. You can search for a specific game and it will show you how many you entered for that game instead of the total.

The first step is to have no life... the rest just requires MS Excel, your list of GAs entered, copy & paste capabilities, and a working
knowledge of Pivot Tables... the first part is likely the most important requirement.
:D

One of my most wanted ones is Anna's Quest, 44 entered so far but I feel I'm near the end. There is a giveaway for two copies with two entriants (One of them is me!), if nothing happens in very last minute I will be very happy. :D. (Less than four hours left!)

Now I'm tempted to do a spreadsheet myself...
I entered a total of 419 giveaways in the 7 weeks I've been here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, I've been here for about a year and a half... only 1,889 GAs entered. That's probably why I've only won 16 gibs to date???
Comment has been collapsed.
Ive been here 9 months and have entered 23,880 GAs all manually and read every description if there was one to read...
Im the one with no life ... LOL!

Well from a fast look, I've entered kotor 2 -> 165 times a game which I want to play way too much. :P
I'm pretty sure there's countless of other games too that I've entered for more than 100 or 200 times. If you think about pure statistics this is very normal man. You can't expect to win something for sure unless you entered it like 2000 times. Don't forget that most public GAs do indeed get at least 2000 or 3k entries most of the time if not more. Especially if it's about a decent game. It's not the site's fault it's pure math. :P Stats. Enter more invite-only and group or high level GAs, if you want to have better chances...

Thief was a waste of Just Cause collection, I did not enjoy it at all.
DmC on the other hand is crazy good, and I am going to continue with the story right now!
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't mind Thief, but it is nothing to DmC (any of them for that matter).

Elizabeth Find M.D. - Diagnosis Mystery

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 150

Outlast is a great flippin' game! Well worth that amount of entries. Skyrim is as well, and although I've got Insurgency I've yet to play it... I will though someday... oh yes, I will.

I think it will be:
Tormentum - Dark Sorrow - 86 GA, 12P each (1032P)

I meant the guessing game for trying out the games :\ seems like I still have to try stuff
Btw dunno how this happened, not a single Skyrim entry :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe you bought it ? =)) I know its an unlikely scenario yet still =))
Yeah its a guessing game, but i think you should know your most entered ones, at least some =)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think I knew that I want to buy it so I didn't even enter :D
Yes, trying. It's just hard to find them if there is a week or two with lots of giveaways, then nothing for months - I forget about those games :\

I literally cut & pasted each page of my entries into Excel. It kicks out five lines (rows) per entry to capture the game; the time left or time since it ended; the number of entries; the day entered; and the "remove" option (appears as just a hyphen when the GA has ended). I then ran a macro down the column next to it that provided me with a sequential number from 1-1,889 where there were four blank rows between each number; identified the blanks; and then deleted the entire row housing the blanks. After that I was left with only the game names for each giveaway. Some of the GAs had multiple copies that were listed along with the game name... I had to eliminate those with a find and replace operation... then finally, I ran a pivot against the names counting the amount of times each appeared. To add insult to injury I looked up the current cost of the top ten games then multiplied the amount by the amount of entries to determine the "Estimated Points."

Endless Space Emperor edition because i missed the bundle it was in :(
Entered 161 (about 5-10 are gold edition but im counting all as the base emperor edition) - 4830P
Bastion has 141 entries aswell now i look at it :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually thought Bastion was a pretty fun game. It wasn't overly challenging or unique, but I still enjoyed it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've played transistor and loved it so now im just patiently waiting until i can get my hands on Bastion :P also waiting for ES to get bundled again so i can grab it this time! ><

I need to procrastinate from studying that's why I made a chart. :)

I know the feeling... and although I'm working not studying... the best part is that my boss does not even care as long as my work gets done (and it was like four hours ago).

I entered a giveaway today for some DLC... and I was fairly certain that I had entered GAs for this particular title more than any other game or DLC. So I wanted to know if that was the case, and in fact how many GAs I had entered for this particular title. Now perhaps there is some tool that I am unaware of that would kick this out for me, but as a data jockey I just opted to slap all of my entries into Excel and run a pivot against it...
I did confirm that the DLC Total War: Rome II - Caesar in Gaul Campaign Pack is, in fact, the one title I have entered the most GAs for. So then I had to take it a step farther and get a rough estimate of how many points I had devoted to my top ten most entered game giveaways...
So here they be...
Did I win any of them? Of course not, this site is sc....
:D
What game(s) do you think you have entered for more than any other?
