Nitro's excuse to have a poll, and whitelist stuff (with some gibs, including elden ring)

1. Theme: games protagonized by women. Also, about missing... I don't even know you. ¯\(ツ)/¯
2. It's obvious why Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever. Because I don't see many movies and you say so.
3. When I pulled Tartaglia twice in a row on the gacha of Genshin Impact. Yes, I'm a loser.

1. You can always just forget about it completely and try to do something at the last moment.
2. There are good comics about it.
3. Resident Evil Village. Awesome long awaited game that lived up to my expectations

Okay, then lets try to find some good train themes (as i expect this won't be your last train, so you can use the ones you don't use for your 8th cake day perhaps for your 9th or 10th or anything after or between ^^):

1. Themes:

   • Story-Driven Games Train
   • Souls-Games Train(you could split that into "real" souls games, oldschool souls games, metroidvania souls games etc, either one train or multiple ^^)
   • Jrpg Train(you could make trains for things like the Trails in the Sky/Cold Steel or Ys Series)
   • Crpg Train(old and new like Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 or Divinity Original Sin 1+2)
   • Shooter Train(Old and new, perhaps a Duke 3D Train and everything that happened at that time in the "shooter" business ^^)
   • Best Modable/Workshop Games Train(for instance Stellaris with its great Star Trek New Horizon Mod, i have 268 hours in Stellaris and only played that mod, never the game without the Star Trek Mod, and there are many more great games with great workshop contributions)

   • Best Cardgame Train(either with much story like Griftlands or with less story like Slay the Spire)

     That were the first Themes that came to my mind. I think with this collection you should be save for the next cakedays to come. ^^

2. Morgan Freeman.....as every movie is better with him in it. Best Explained in many South Park episodes:

   :D

3. Well, best Gaming moment in 2021, thats a hard one. I think for me it was Cloudpunk and its City of Ghost Dlc.
   The Vibe i got from it was just great. Feeled like blast from the past with memories of old Cyberpunk Movies like Blade runner etc.
   Had a real blast with it.
   There were some other games which were really great but i think Cloudpunk is my number one
   (and also got Cloudpunk as a present from a great SG member of a group of mine so it has a special place because of that as well ^^)

Bump thanks for the GAs.

Because it's a great story with tears... Best moment of 2021 - lost from beyond - best game ever to relax (don't do it).

Thanks for the giveaways!

(1) Someone mentioned a choose-your-own type of train, I think that's a great idea and I second it. ^^
(2) I have not seen Shawshank Redemption, unfortunately. I don't watch a lot of movies. ^^;;
(3) I know it was released 2020, but I only played Hades last year. Damn great game. :)

1. I can't count that many Red Potatoes.. Just too many. Like a loooooot.

2. The Shawshank Redemption
   Magnificent, sumptuous, masterful YES ! A masterpiece YES!
   But is it the greatest film of all time... Sorry no! And yes, I'll tell you why, yes sir.
   Because one of the scenes traumatized me to the very depths of my being... a botched scene, a filthy rookie mistake.
   When Ellis bets two packs of cigarettes when Andy arrives at the prison, he loses but then only gives one to Heywood.
   This mistake haunts me every time I think of this movie... :(
   And now that you know it too, I hope you won't change your mind about it :D

3. Best moment.. Humm..
   The first one that comes to my mind, i don't know why, would be the discovery, the very nice discovery of Portal 2. Yes I know I really took my time before playing it :D

Early Congratz for your 5000th giveaway (that's huge) and Early Happy 8th Cakeday ✨✨✨

1. A theme for a train, it's hard to pick since so many have been done, and it also depends on what's in your bag. I'd go for something odd like only games made on the same day or same month.
2. I haven't see The Shawshank Redemption, I'll add it to my backlog, but, there's so many good movies already and so little time.
3. My best gaming moment of 2021 so far has been getting my hands on SMTV. I got a Switch for that game, so it was nice to finally be able to play it.

Havent seen the Shawshank Redemption. Dunno if i ever will. Not that I think the movie is bad, I heard its great, its just, I don't feel the urge to actually watch it. Maybe on an off day when I want something to watch and there is nothing else. As for best gaming moment in 2021, well, I 100% Halo MCC on PC, after a gruelling LASO run for all games. Was fun. Was hard. But more importantly, was satisfying when I capped my 100% run with Halo 3 LASO and its amazing Warthog run on the last level.

You wont get me with that rick roll mwahahahahaha

1)No ideas. 1, I dunno who you are.
2)I'm not sure what genre to even call that movie.But it was good and was both serious and funny at times.
3) Finally got a new computer.Still missing a good graphics card though.

1. Define "train". For me it is the the motorized vehicle with appended wagons, that is moving along a line of railway tracks. And I really like it :)
2. Short answer: rank 1 on IMDB's Top 250 for a long time now. Other answer: It is a story of hardships, friendship, respect, endurance and last but not least redemption combined with relatable and well-played characters. The point, that this movie was nominated to 7 Oscars, yet won none, makes it the fan choice for a great movie.
3. My personal best moment in 2021 was playing Forza Horizon 5 for the first time. Literally goosebumps.

I like your profile =)
And thank you for reminding me about the Shawshank Redemption, I just wanted to review it, but I forgot!

As for the train, you can put one colored potato in each car 😄
There are a lot of colors, so you can make a train of any size!

1) I thought about what kind of train you could do for a little while, but honestly, I have no idea.
2) I haven't seen it yet, but I'll definitely put it on my watchlist right away!
3) Buying Dead by Daylight; I couldn't be more thankful for the times I played it with my friends where we constantly yelled at each other jokingly, got jumpscared by a Michael Myers standing behind us from out of nowhere and just laughed until late at night. I would do so much just to relive those moments to be honest.. Now we've, again, primarily gone our own paths. We still talk, but don't really game together anymore.

1 - Infinite point red.
2- Because I own the VHS and the DVD, it's one of the few cases in which a movie surpassed the original material, and I can recite large chunks of it. Well, that doesn't explain why is the best movie. The reason is that, it's a very good movie. Complex character interactions, Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman at the top of their games, compelling villain, a very good twist, and the scene of the opera *chef's kiss
3- my game of 2021 was Hades. I enjoyed every second of it.

1. Peace in the World - a theme that should never get old. Since it's my first ride, Red Hot Po-ta-toes.
2. It got one of the best cast to perform one of the best stories of hope. And we should never lose hope.
3. Playing It Takes Two with my wife. We had so many joyful moments in that game.

1. I think I've never been on any of your cool trains.
2. Shawshank Redemption is the best movie simply because I have not watched it yet xD
3. A lot of them come from Csgo discord nights with the bois.
   Thanks for the GA!

1. I don't think I've been to one of your previous trains, but trains are great. Choo choo, choo choo!

2. I don't know why that movie is so good, but I know even less why I'd never heard of it. I was reading about it just now and I really think I need to watch it soon. Thanks for the rec! :)
   Also:
   My profile is mostly boring, BUT I have a Lv 100M Monster Summer Badge (see hall of fame) and I reached it in the infamous Room 47075, the 8th room to get there, which bugged out for a while and wouldn't give us the right badge (it stuck at Lv 99 997 940). It was Steam's best event ever and I wasn't just there -- I got the best badge. I also destroyed my hand clicking for a good chunk of the event, lol. I have the best memories of it. Especially of people using wormholes at wrong moments LOL.

3. Probably playing AoE2DE with friends. It never gets old. I play many different games, but every once in a while I end up going back to AoE2 with the same group of friends for in-jokes, in-memes, and horrible fun. I guess it's the friends even more so than the game.

I have seen this movie before.
After viewShawshank Redemption, I have some inspiration.
No matter what kind of bad luck you encounter, you'll find a way of life that you can adapt to face tough situations.
Sometimes you still have the energy to contribute to the public, don't give up the chance to fight the unjust system until the end.
I love that at the end they help each other and share after they go through life together in prison.
This friendship is unforgettable.
This movie is really great.

1. Since im kinda new, i think i haven't been in any of your trains
2. Am I cool enough? I haven't seen that movie, but it's on the plan to watch list now
3. Killing the Valstrax alone in MH Rise:)

never joined your trains :(

Shawshank redemption has morgan freeman on it

gaming moments mostly fps hitting headshots on pubg is really fun for me

1. First Train i join 🥔🔴 maybe a mix of games you've played and liked with games you haven't played but think you might like.
2. Shawshank Redemption is a great movie, the role played by Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is very good, although my favorite actor is Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness and 7 Souls are some of my favorites) and other nice film is Men of Honour with Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr.
3. In 2021 I finished several games that I had been waiting to play for a long time and they surprised me for good, among them Dying Light 1 (before 2 was released) and Final Fantasy XV, which had time behind it to play it but I wanted to wait for it all the dlc came out to play it completely, but since many of them ended up being cancelled, I decided to play it and I liked it much more than I expected.

Happy early 8th Cakeday! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ 🎂 ʕ•ܫ•ʔ

1. Past 2. I can't talk about this 3. the best game for me was to complete Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age, a very legendary game for me and I almost completed perfect achievement stats. Happy Cake Day's and have a nice day's ^_^

-1 > Since we are using tomatoes for scaling, how about using fruits for the theme ^^

-2 > My favorites are "Stalker" and "12 Angry Man", but Shawshank Redemption was awesome for sure. To be fair, I love most movies when they have Morgan Freeman in them, but this movie was one of the special ones for sure. I really wanted to kill warden myself when he throw main character to jail and killed the young guy who just graduated from the school (I am bad with names :)

-3 > Probably killing Nameless King on DS3. It took sooo many tries but I loved the boss and the area etc. so it kinda worth it.

Actually Nameless King made me think "I am done with Souls games" but Elden Ring sounds too good to miss, so here we are again :)
