Hello there!

I really enjoy the whitelist giveaways from the people that whitelisted me, so I wanted to give back in the same fashion. Unfortunately, my whitelist is still too small for some exciting GA's, so I thought this might be an alright idea.
Of course, it will be a bit harder than just "here, me", but if you have 2 minutes you have pretty good chances of being added! (Sorry, that sounded like its something special, oof)

Anyway, here are your tasks!
1) Tell me how you came up with your username. No need for 200 word essays.
2) Tell me your favorite game! Can be a mobile app, a ps4 game or from the NES era. Anything! And maybe a sentence or two why you like them :]
3) Link me to your favorite animal, maybe even your pet if you want to share that / if you have one!
4) You need a positive Giveaway ratio, that means more games given away than won and also Level 3+.

Thanks for everyone thats taking part, I hope I didn't mess anything up. Regardless, here is my first whitelist GA and a game I really enjoyed: Hotline Miami 1

Edit: I didnt expect this to explode, thanks for the comments everyone! I'll read all of them and add you to the WL as soon as possible and if you feel left out give me a reminder. Cheers!

I'm here just to answer the questions:

  1. I was looking for a name for Filmweb account (Filmweb = polish version of IMDB) because I didn't want to give them my real name and I somehow came up with Sowa bez pokrycia which means literally owl without a cover but it's a wordplay with polish sentence Słowa bez pokrycia which means something like promises you're not sure will be fulfilled. Then I needed to add a nickname, so I was thinking, trying different combinations that could represent Sowa bez pokrycia in a simpler form and I've came up with an idea I'm gonna try to create an owl from letters. And that's where IovoI came from.
  2. My fav games are: Mafia, Football Manager, Stardew Valley, CoJ Gunslinger. Mafia because of great story, FM because I am a big fan of footbal and I also like strategy/management games, Stardew Valley because it is so cute, it has lots of new things to discover during a game and it's relaxing, CoJ Gunslinger because it is funny and the gameplay is neat. Oh and lately I've been really enjoying Dishonored so I guess that's another one to my favs (because of the gameplay). Oh and incredibly funny Pony Island. Okay enough, I have too many fav games :')
  3. We have a cat but I'm more like a step-father to her because she eventually has become mine after I've met my girlfriend. Basically she is her cat but I love this animal too. But shh, don't let my gf know about this, I'm still pretending I prefer dogs way more :P
  4. Sorry, I don't qualify :)

Aww, thank you! And thank you for surprising not whitelisting me, I guess I have to not whitelist you too which is not adding to a certain Steam group :P This way you won't have to have any patience waiting until my financial status will be more stable and I'll come back to giving again :P

As for the other things: my user name is a mix of my initials (AJ) and a word 'semprini' from this Monthy Python sketch.
My favorite games are deffinitely Mass Effect series and Dragon Age series, since I love compelling stories and RPG games.
My favorite animal is this one :)

1: Bloom was taken , so i added 3D in the back of it ... and been using that for over a decade probably now .
2: I used to love RTS Games ( C&C Series) Starcraft (broodwar) ... got unreasonable amount of hours in Dota 2 ... but if i had to pick 1 game i would recommend to anyone , it would be Long Live the Queen .
That is probably the dark souls of anime bullshit games :p
3:I like cats ... Big and Small . Not really fan of dogs since i had couple accidents with stray ones .
4:Well not really making much gibs lately ... had issue with Humble few months ago where i lost couple $ worth of bundles that ware in gift link state that i was saving for gibs , and got the middle finger from support ... been kinda just poking on SG since then .

1) Masafor The Wild was the name of my Ranger at Guildwars 1. A darker skincolor and Dreadlocks. Leaded nearly 10 years the biggest german point Alliance (without farming or other shi*... only from fights in the Alliance Fights -12 vs12-). 6 years our Alliance are seen at every time on the worldmap.
2) One game is a hard decision... i would say the Hearts of Iron Series because i love, deep, strategy games and weapon systems

  1. A mix of my real name and surname
  2. I was a great fan of the Warcraft RTS series, but since there has been about 15 years since the last one (Warcraft 3: Reign of chaos & Frozen throne- 2002 & 2003 respectively) i would go for Darksiders (my avatar proves it)

1) Tell me how you came up with your username. No need for 200 word essays.

I have watched a friends stream and somehow he gave me this Nickname.

2) Tell me your favorite game! Can be a mobile app, a ps4 game or from the NES era. Anything! And maybe a sentence or two why you like them :]

Depends on my mood, sometimes I play PES for a few days, but usually I like also Stealth Games(others too ofc). Therefore it's difficult for me to decide for one favorite Game.

3) Link me to your favorite animal, maybe even your pet if you want to share that / if you have one!

I don't have a favorite Animal but I like Dogs and Cats either way.

4) You need a positive Giveaway ratio, that means more games given away than won and also Level 3+.

For yet, it is positive. :)

1) Igel is the german word for hedgehog and a nickname I got in RL way back. Reason for this is, I'm a bit on the short side,
very nearsighted and sport a short spikey haircut.

2) If I'm forced to just pick one.... Deus Ex. I've done 6 or 7 playthroughs, playing the game differently every time.

3) No pets at the moment. I don't have a favourite animal, but are cute IMHO.

4) ✅

Schönen Abend noch :-)

So, it seems that you want to kill some time reading about others... well, let me amuse you.

1) This one is actually pretty simple and kinda stupid. I love the Medieval Period so when playing games that are set in that time I felt that my real name didn't match with the environment. So I thought: "How much different would my name (Nicolas or Nick) if I lived as a knight and had a title?" Well, after testing the sound and different ideas, I came up with the one you are seeing right now.

2) My favorite game? That's like an impossible question for most of us. For now, I will go with an specific one that I finished, again, recently after getting it for the PS4. Shadow of the Colossus was a love at first sight for me. Loving the time of swords, knights and dragons as well as everything related to myths and legends, I was instantly attracted by the aesthetic and graphics it had when it was first released. You would think that God of War should be the obvious choice after saying that I loved myths, but no. SotC had something that Gow didn't. The atmosphere was clearly darker and solemn, the enemies where so big and intimidating and the whole land was deserted but still had so much to explore, to see, to discover. So many questions, so many theories, mysteries to unravel and yet almost no dialogs and certainly very few answers. It was so mysterious, so fascinating and so well made that it became one of my favorite games.

3) Favorite animal? That's kinda difficult too. Since I was little I had a particular fascination with snakes. So I would go with that, but I also like dogs because of how friendly they are, so I will leave you to choose whoever you preffer. No pic since I can't right now.

4) Check. I would make more giveaways but it's not possible by time being. Problems in my country, hope it doesn't take long.

I can absoutely agree with SotC being one of the best games. And Snakes... Well, as a metal gear fan i'm kinda forced to love them, eh?

  1. Quite a good question which I don't really know myself.. Somehow liked cookies and had a various names with different writings with some sort of cookie in it - Somehow got stuck at this after a while (~2010/11) since it is a very unique spelling. I am yet to encounter anyone with the same spelling
  2. uff.. that's a hard one.. Nostalgic feelings and memories due to a lot of nice clanmates and countless nights would make me say Call of Duty4: Modern Warfare
  3. I would LOVE to have a hedgehog. They're tiny and adorable! ;D
  4. I think mine should do... :P

  1. The name comes from the rightful ruler of this pitiful planet. Ok, so it might also just be my name but you never know right.

  2. Favourite game is really tricky, but the one I come back to the most is the original Bard's Tale from the 1980's. I played it on the CBM64 growing up and it really formed my idea of how dungeon crawling rpgs should play. The setting, character progression and combat just drew me in and still haven't let go all these years later.

  3. Favourite animal would be cats. Any kind. Big cats, little cats, kittens, wild cats, just cats in general, they are awesome. I currently don't have a pet but if I do get another one in the future then it will be a cat.

  4. Yeah I have a positive ratio.

1) Was using the name Maarten a lot for RPGs and for fun I used a Japanese translator and put that in and it gave me maruten.
2) I don't have a favorite, but I really enjoyed the old Zelda games for example

Yes, it's kind of a weird story of how I got the name, don't even remember which translator I used but so far I am enjoying the name ^^

  1. PerroFlaco (SkinnyDog) has its origins in a Spanish saying "In skinny dog, everything is fleas"... With this comes to say that problems never come alone and everything can get worse.
  2. Neverwinter. It was the first RPG I had the luck to play and it marked me with fire.
  3. The fried chicken maybe :P
    No, it's not that I do not like animals, they demand attention that I can not give them and that's why I do not have

i got my name because my friend from school wanted to give me a nickname and cece it was. so i started using it for only online and the 09 is well because i needed something to add and i removed a number because i was confused by setting my account to add friends.

my favourite game has been since i was younger final fantasy x/x2 i even finally 100% for the 1st time on steam and have it on display. however i do love all kind of games but those 2 games still makes me love it over and over.

my favourite animal has always been tigers and lions. i could never decide which one i preferred more so they are both stuck as no.1 and why i got a lot of mix match of lion and tiger items everywhere

1-) My nick is similar to how you say my real name with accent form my hometown :)
2-) Hard to pick one really. Fallout 2, Baldur's Gate 2, TES-3 Morrowind comes to mind. Basically any good RPG with open world.
3-)Don't have a pet at the moment, but I am your generic cat and dog lover.
4-)Passed and passed.

Well, I like answering questions, so...

1) A combination of my last name and the name of a band I liked when I was a teenager.
2) Planescape Torment - it had a great and unique setting, amazing (and unique) characters, and wonderful story arcs for the main character and your companions. Some things, such as Morte learning new taunts from a prostitute chewing you out, just seemed really cool, while other things, such as some of the reveals about characters' backstories, just blew my mind.
3) Um, this is a tough one... Let's go with my first ever pet
4) This... is not a question. ;p

1) My name is Amanda, which rhymes with panda. And I wanted to add a word that started with A, so I randomly chose "aloof" :)
2) My favorite game is The Walking Dead from telltale. I loved season 1. I watched a playthrough of it originally (because my laptop at the time could not handle it) when I was 13. I cried at the end. It's so precious. <33
3) Here's my favorite animal c:

My username isn't really spectacular. It comes from these charts with dragon names where your first names first letter equals the first part and the first letter from your last name the second, but I changed the outcome it a bit.

Favorite game? Bioshock! I'm really fascinated from the story itself (I even read the book) and the gameplay is awesome of course :) I like all of them, only the last one is my least favourite but I'm happy they tried for something new.

And my spirit animals are guinea pigs, they are easy to held, cute and like snuggling. :D

I hope I can join your 💙

I chose nickname Muffin many years ago, but actually don't remember why now (maybe I was eating one? :0 ).

Favourite game of all time probably would be Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I still remember playing it with my father on SEGA.

Favourite animal is my cat Felix :3 Pictures added below.

1) There's an old comedy skit from the sixties where a guy picks up the phone, hears the sound of tap-dancing, hangs up and says, "It's no good, they're tapping the line!" I've been tap-dancing since I was a kid.
2) Dark Cloud 2 for the PS2. RPG with an interesting story, unique and innovative crafting system, and base-building mechanics I didn't see again in an RPG until Fallout 4.
3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_whale
4) My giveaway ratio is absurd. I think you'll be very happy with it :).

    • Kaus from Kaus Media, old name of a star in the Sagittarius constellation
    • Stral from an old word for arrow
  1. As many said before me: too hard to choose only one... Maybe Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I've always liked platformers and the atmosphere and attention to details are really good. Though, I guess people fluent in the english language should play the version that came with Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for PSP.
  2. I like all nature, but in this context I guess I'll choose dogs, although I don't have one now.
  3. Barely but I do, and I try to keep it that way.
