Giveaway is over, thanks everyone who participated! It was a great experience!
I was aiming too high (200 whitelists in 2 days + secret sauce! Cwaazy) so next time I'll give it more time or aim for less people.
Now everyone that didn't know they hit the secret sauce will be informed and can do one of the following:

  • Rejoice! You're stay on my whitelist and get into future exclusive whitelist giveaways!
  • Add me to Steam to join my new group - Secret Sauce Giveaways ($$GA) - and be the first to know when an exclusive giveaway is going to start, vote on games for giveaways and participate in other people's giveaway. It's a private group, so you'll need an invitation from yours truly.

UPDATE 12/10/2015: If you participated in this thread and got a comment from me like "You've hit the secret sauce", you can add me on steam and join my exclusive giveaway group. We got awesome games coming up.


I've been a very bad boy recently and I want to make up for it. Sounds naughty but it isn't. ;)

So I'm gonna do a nice GA and the secret sauce for you, people of earth (or aliens) to get into my whitelist is to do one or more of the following deeds:

  • The gift of laughter - Share with me something to laugh about (no gifs please! I hate gifs!) - it can be a video an article or even a poem, whatever you want except animated gifs.
  • The gift of sound - Share with me your favourite band or song (a link to a specific song will be greatly appreciated)
  • The gift of mind - Share with me an interesting or thought provoking video (or article) to watch / read

If you hit the secret sauce you'll know. I'll add folks sporadically throughout the day, be patient.
Please no double-triple-infinite-posts, one is enough.

And of course the giveaway:

http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/VV9d2/besiege

I hope I'll manage to hit 200 within 2 days. :)

do NOT share the secret sauce with others!


note1: if you're a friend on steam you're most likely whitelisted already, send me a msg if not
note2: no need to whitelist back (only if you want).


Update.. the 1st: First of all thanks to everyone who shared something! The response to this thread has been amazing and I have so much stuff
to see, listen and laugh about it's just overwhelming.
Check your entry gentlemen/ladies now. Some of you got the secret sauce now. Remember - don't share it! :)
Update 2: The whitelist is at only at 50! Keep this going :D
Some statistics (or valuable information?) for the nerds: the most shared gift- gift of sound, the least - the gift of mind.
Most shared "funny" video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg (it won't whitelist you).
Most shared music - why am I not surprised? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6120QOlsfU (see above^)
New Day: Our adventure continues! A lot of spots are available. So I welcome new people (and aliens) to try your chances and find out the secret sauce :)
Update.. the third: About 24 hours left, and more than 100 spots are waiting to be filled!

Update 4: Only 2.5 hours left, and 97 spots still available! Everyone, please check your whitelist status.

* I'm relaxing the rules a little bit: Everyone can reply ONCE to their own comment with more suggestion(s).

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! :D

"The gift of mind - Share with me an interesting or thought provoking video (or article) to watch / read"
An interesting though is I'd imagine it'd be quite hard to watch every single one of these videos... lol

Here's a video anyways, on Good ideas, and Bad ideas.

That's true. I handle it by watching the first few minutes, or reading a few paragraphs and if it piques my interest I'll just bookmark or check "watch it later". I already got a couple of hours worth of watching :D

Well, I'm not much into laughs, but.
The Sound is gonna be something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njPWBTIv9qw (metal inside)
While the Mind will be... will be... you know, just read something by Phil Dick. He's a kind of a novelist that you either love or hate but I've yet to find more thought-provoking reads (except for, like, Orwell's '1984'). If you want exact titles, try going for 'Flow My Tears the Policeman Said' or the ubiquitous 'Ubik'.

I'll share with you some of my favorite music ever, from one of my favorite video game franchises.

If that doesn't strike your fancy, here's something else that I really like... in my opinion, it sounds better than the original.

The gift of sound:

Benjamin Clementine is an english "songmaker". But not the typical one with beard and guitar. He plays piano and not only sing his songs, sometimes he just tell the storys. Sometimes this is not easy to listen to if you are not into it but on the other side he has some "hits" that should normaly on heavy rotation in the radio stations. In the link down below you find a short "concert" (a deazer session). The first Song is a bit hard to get into i think but if it is to hard just skip to the second song. It allways gives me goosebumps and is a perfect song after a hard day...

Hope you will like it.

My Gifts:
Sound: Gogol Bordello and Diego's Umbrella - who on the plus side put up entire cds of their music on their youtube channel.

Mind: Pretty much anything by CGP Grey. This one in particular I find interesting.

Laughter: Askhistorians Reddit's April Fools log from this year. A personal favorite is this gem here.

Also, have this.
