Now with one extra exclamation mark compared to the previous topic. Seriously, I counted.

Anyway, I wanted to do something even better this time than giving a mug. I actually had this neat idea of making a T-shirt with SG logo and having that as a prize (together with a postcard, of course) but it completely slipped my mind that I won't be here in last two weeks of December, so I'm kinda making this in last minute but it's better than doing nothing at all, right? The T-shirt plan stands but I'm just postponing it for summer (and it's somewhat useless wearing that in the middle of winter, as yo can imagine).

So what are we having here now? Well, instead of one I'm sending five postcards for Christmas to anyone in the world from SG, but you will also receive a random game from your wishlist. To be eligible for this you must not add anything to it after December 6th, which is fairly difficult since we are now in 7th, so unless you have a time machine I shouldn't have anything to worry about. Also I imagine one could make a better use of that device than going back in time and adding a game to their wishlist only to participate in a giveaway that they're not guaranteed to win anyway.
But hm, where was I.....Well, as you might notice, none of these look like they're from Bosnia at all (especially that lowest one with something that looks like the Eiffel Tower) but you can contribute that to my laziness. In any case, this is where I'll be sending them from and I can't really work my way around that.

Long story short, I'll be sending 5 people from here a postcard + one game from their wishlist of my choice (unless you have Bad Rats there somehow, in that case I'm not considering anything else). To enter, you only have to post in this topic anything but generic "thanks", like anything at all. A funny story, some random wikipedia tidbit that you found interesting, you can even tell me if vaccines cause atheism or not, whatever. For everyone else who would like to post but don't want to enter, just be sure to add "I'm not entering" somewhere in your comment so I can cross you out. Oh and this is obvious, but you will have to provide me your real life address in case you are picked, so refrain from entering if you are not comfortable with that.

The giveaway will be open for 7 days (ending on December 14), after that I'm picking 5 people from this topic and sending everything by the end of the next week. Good luck!

tl;dr: enter, win postcard, also receice a wishlist game

even shorter tl;dr: entr,wn pstcrd, als rcv a wshlt gm

EDIT

Oops, forgot to mention that I'll assign everyone a number according to the order of comments and run them all through random.org once it is done so I'm not actually picking people on my own, far from that. The power of internet is doing everything for me.

EDIT 2
In order to prevent more confusion, I should clarify that you will not be excluded if you add anything more to your wishlist since yesterday, I'm just not gonna count games that you added after December 6, everything else is fine.

EDIT 3

Here's something you might find interesting.

And here are not one, or two, but three announcements related to a certain game, all of which I found amusing.

I can't really think of anything else off the top of my head, but I might come back later if something worthwhile occurs to me.

Something I just found out from wikipedia:

Unladen Swallow was an optimization branch of CPython, intended to be fully compatible and significantly faster. It aimed to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler built using LLVM.

The project had stated a goal of a speed improvement by a factor of five over CPython;[2] this goal was not met.[3]

The project was sponsored by Google, and the project owners, Thomas Wouters, Jeffrey Yasskin, and Collin Winter, are themselves full-time Google employees,[4] however the majority of the contributors to the project are not Google employees. Unladen Swallow is hosted on Google Code.[5]

Like many things regarding the Python language, "Unladen Swallow" is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the gag about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

My family has a tradition of eating cow tongue every year. It's delicious, but lots of people find it weird.

Does anyone else eat this or something else one might consider weird?
