Steam Gifts Giveaway – Updated

by Justin B. on August 30, 2012 @ 10:25 am

[Update: We've had several additions to the prize pool and we are now up to six. So if you are interested in any of the prize pools please place an entry as a comment in this thread / article indicating which pool you want]

A little over a week ago we made a post in our forums seeing if anyone had any left-over or unused Steam gifts they were willing to donate into a pool for a giveaway. Two of our forum members have contributed and have provided us with Steam community beta invites and the full-game of Nuclear Dawn. I have also contributed my free copy of Portal 1 into the mix.

Want to be entered to win? Follow us past the break for a full breakdown of the giveaway and prizes you could win.

This giveaway will be conducted using random draw. If you want to be interested into this giveaway just leave a comment at the bottom of this post / on the forums indicating which prize pool you would like to be in. You can enter in both prize pools if they interest you but you will only be able to win one of them.

  • Prize Pool 1: Portal 1 game and 75% off Portal 2 Coupon (exp Sept 14) and Steam Community Beta Invite (Invite courtesy of Elite and 75% off courtesy of Pr0fessor Burnt)
  • Prize Pool 2: Nuclear Dawn game and Steam Community Beta Invite (courtesy of MenaceInc)
  • Prize Pool 3: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (courtesy of x3sphere)
  • Prize Pool 4: Dungeon Defenders and Saints Row 3 DLC  (courtesy of x3sphere)
  • Prize Pool 5: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and The Ship (courtesy of 8BITMurphy)

I was scratching my head as to why I didn't see this before, then I noticed you said "in the forums" where I don't visit :S Had you made an actual post about it here on the main site, you might of gotten a larger response. I may have even donated a few things :)

slicer4ever says:

you should join us in the forums more hush=-)

FrozenIpaq says:

You still can ;) I'll just update the posts to reflect the new additions

EDIT: Elite, the one who had the idea and contributed the first items to the pool also wanted it to be for the community members. I thought we'd give the forum members the first shot at it, didn't realize you didn't frequent the forums since I always see you posting on our articles.

I might peek in, but I'm not a huge forum person tbh. I like to comment on new articles a bit, but never seem to bother much with forums (or remember to visit them :P).

FrozenIpaq says:

You are forgiven

lastoneleft_00 says:

lastoneleft_00 says:

parallellink says:

YoKo says:

Wouldn't mind anything against Pool 1 or 7 ;)

PR0fessor Burnt says:

lastoneleft_00 says:

r33L says:

Lanetting says:

5 and 8 are my pools...

Hymn says:

pool 7 ... xD

MenaceInc says:

Pool 2 please? (!) :p

just to be clear, I'm being sarcastic :P

FrozenIpaq says:

The drawing will be taking place later today. I will be streaming it live @ twitch.tv/frozenipaq

I will be accepting entries until the drawing is actually conducted later today. Duplicate entries are not allowed. If you have yet to enter and would like to do so, please do so ASAP.

FrozenIpaq says:

Alright everyone. I'm about to start the giveaway but I want to make sure everyone is good with these preliminary results. Here's a distribution of the entries so far:

http://i.picpar.com/4b2678e52205aa924b7d94d2e8a048b377b5ecd0.PNG

I originally said you will only be able to win one pool. However that would leave only Pool 2, 5 and 8 down to a few people. The rest of the pools would automatically be won by people without a drawing. I'm thinking I'll allow people to win multiple times since others didn't express interest in the other pools so they wouldn't mind if you won another pool.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'll be conducting the giveaway at around 8:00-8:15PM EST

FrozenIpaq says:

Alright guys, giveaway is live in a minute at : http://twitch.tv/frozenipaq

Just ignore all the Diablo 3 banners and crap on the page.
