If I have some interest in trying it from what I know of the game.

I add games that I dont want onto my blacklist so it's easier to find interesting games :3 and I dont have any specific game I want

Where can I setup a blacklist? I don't use this site often... does sit require an add-on for my browser?

I'm almost always at 300 points now, generally I've seen most games on Steam besides some of the older obscure casual games, and I have a fairly good memory on keeping track of what I'm interested and what I'm not interested in, generally I balance around a few things: subject matter (what the game is about), genre (I am less interested in FPS games, but on the other hand I love puzzle games for example), my reaction to the game's store page content (does it look fun? does it seem interesting? etc.) So what I'm trying to say is I enter what I think is interesting and fun for me

My wishlist is fairly representative of what I want to play when I get time to. There are a handful of other game that if an amazing opportunity presented itself, I would play through it. That is what I keep an eye for. Otherwise, let someone else who will enjoy the game more get it =).

I wait until something shows up: http://puu.sh/3qP72.png

Go from the first, to the 10th or so page (depending on the number of decent giveaways in my opinion), enter in the ones that look good and I would actually plsy, and that aren't high-high in entries if possible. Take off ones with more, put ones on with less (same games).
Typically I go through at least 5pages before using up my points.

Since I used SG plus, I pretty much enter almost all giveaways that show up. Of course, a few pop up to add to the filter, but otherwise I just go down the page and enter what I see.
That mostly is games on my wishlist and other games that look interesting, but not quite sure if I will buy them unless they show up in a bundle.

I enter for the games I want that I don't already have, aka everything on my wishlist; My wishlist is rather short so it makes it pretty easy because I always have enough points left to enter.

i enter the first GA then the 2nd GA then the 3rd one about to close. I'm joking . This is what i really do: scan the first page for games i want , scan the second page for games i want , scan 3rd page for games i want , once i run out of points i know i wont miss out on any games i want that will end shortly.

Pretty much the same as you, except lately I only do the search part - and look for a few games I really want at that moment, as I have a huge backlog and I'd rather not add many games to it lol
And, of course, searching the forum for puzzles, cuz that's just fun :D

I find myself curious, how do you folks decide which giveaways to enter?
Personally, I usually do a search for the games off my wishlist first. Then I look for a few (such as XCOM or BioShock Infinite) which I want to play, won't be able to afford anytime soon, yet for whatever reason I don't have on my wishlist. After that, I just go through the pages and enter giveaways for anything else that looks interesting. That's how I ended up winning McPixel, which is awesome. :3
So how about you folks?
