Harro SG,

Today is my birthday. While this is my first iteration of the often-seen birthday giveaway, I'm a tiny bit sad of the way I'm doing mine. I'd much rather give away one copy of some recently released AAA title, unfortunately I'm barely making ends meet the past few months. Add that I did celebrate my birthday in a decent manner, therewith assuring I have absolutely no money for three weeks to come.

As such, I'm moderately happy of the following giveaway extravaganza I managed to produce. A total of 14(+1) titles, all bundled, not-too-great games. Hidden behind an easily solvable puzzle, just to keep the lazy, the bots and the stupid away from them.

Unlike most puzzle giveaways, I'll just tell you what you can find at the end, so you don't have to waste your time on it should you already own each and every title on the list (something I'd very much like to see become a habit):

  • AirBuccaneers
  • A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda
  • Dear Esther
  • Garshasp: The Monster Slayer
  • Garshasp: Temple of the Dragon
  • Ittle Dew
  • Numen: Contest of Heroes
  • Pid
  • Really Big Sky
  • Rush Bros
  • Sanctum
  • Sniper: Ghost Warrior
  • Velvet Assassin
  • and of course... Fortix

... A random Zeno Clash key dump has appeared: Taken! Ninjas gonna ninja.

Some other facts you might want to know:

  • CV at $30.01
  • End one week from now
  • Sharing, obviously, is not allowed
  • Don't give hints
  • All links to all giveaways can be found at the end of the not-toohard puzzle.
  • I'm still looking for a Hitman: Sniper Challenge key :<

Enough bla bla, all this took much longer than I expected... time to get hammered.Puzzle = closed, more giveaways below! I guess I'll do my idea of a proper giveaway when I reach 1000 Steam games. Good luck, have fun and... Death is close.

---------- Update 1 -----------

As.. somewhat promised, more giveaways:

Same CV and end date as all other giveaways, except these aren't hidden behind an extremely easy puzzle.

But wait! There's more! Only I've reached my maximum number of simultaneous giveaways, therefor I will expand my giveaway extravaganza with the following games as soon as I can create a giveaway for the whole bunch:

  • Crusader Kings II
  • Ether Vapor Remaster
  • Fairy Bloom Freesia
  • Hammerfight
  • Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
  • MacGuffin's Curse
  • Project Aftermath
  • Satazius
  • Space Pirates and Zombies
  • Tower Wars
  • Two Worlds II

I will bump this thread once more once these giveaways have gone live. For now enjoy the remaining giveaways, and I'll be back real soon!

---------- Update 2 -----------

Most gifts have found a new owner now and I've created new giveaways for the promised games. Again, no puzzle, simple private giveaways. Same rules as before, only lasting a few days this time. I will also be accompanying these with very random keydrops at very random times (in the comments this time around).

So here are the giveaways:

And once these are done I will have two non-bundled games to give away, which will be the grand finale.
But for now, go wild and enjoy!

That is a fine birthday giveaway. Maybe I make it look bad, but I'm cheating by having others join in. Most birthday giveaways only have a handful of games at most.

Oh no, not like you've raised the bar too high or anything... It's just that I'm giving away these bundled titles throughout the year. For a birthday celebration I would much rather throw in a nice, non-bundled, highly anticipated title in there, I just lack the funds for it atm.

If I wasn't holding onto my remaining funds for the next Groupees bundle, I'd help you out by grabbing something like Half-Life or those recently added old school games. Would surely get entries for those. :P

I like donating games to other people doing birthday giveaways (mostly when they can't afford their own games for it though).

Admittedly, those games have always ended up in the library of the person I wanted to help out. :(

Well I certainly wouldn't mind adding a few more giveaways here somewhere, but then I'm just being a cheap ripoff of your own idea.

Generosity and graciousness are good character traits. You may be broke, but there are other blessings worth far more than money.

What Delta said, it's not like you are forced to do any giveaway for your birthday on any manner; i couldn't even give anything because i'm broke, even had to rent my house and go back to live with my parents until i get solved my financial status.

As said, thank you for all these giveaways, and hope you had a nice birthday party :)

DD-MM (don't forget the 0) wasn't hard to guess. Keep in mind time zones, and it has two possible choices. One of those does work fine. Others already have finished after all.

Don't worry that you can't give away "good" games. There are some great ones in that list and people should be grateful :)

Contributor Value

Contributor Value, gained when you successfully give away games on this site. For example, you have $19.99 of CV from your Trine 2 giveaway.

In order to gain enough to enter this giveaways, you would need to giveaway more games, and at least some of that value would need to be from a title that hasn't been in a bundle of some kind, as giving just those will result in the value being capped to $30 CV.
