    Starting to work on this.

    Rules/Things I expect to see/do:

    • Must have your Steam Profile link in your sig. Profile must be set to public from 11/24/13 to 1/5/14. No exceptions.

    • YOU MUST HAVE A WISHLIST MADE. I'll be using a wishlist/owned games compiler that needs your stuff public in order to work and see what you have/want. Put whatever the hell you want on it, you may not get that brand new 60$ game, but a good 10 games on your list will give me an idea what you like. We're not going to sort through your game library again, that took me a week straight of vacation time, 5 hours a day.

    • For the mass amount of low tier games we usually wind up with, I'm planning on using www.Steamgifts.com to distribute them via random entry. If you have a steam account, and you have more then a handful of games on it, make a Steamgifts.com account. It's simple, it's easy, and you can enter to win stuff from people year round, not just from us at Xmas. If you can't make a steamgifts.com account because you have an account value under 100$... then exceptions will be made, but seriously a few games, or a humble bundle or two put you over that cut off stupid simple.

    Other stuff will be incoming, but just throwing this out there.

    Totally signing up for this and already have a few games stocked up that I will be donating.

    Also Mid, to make your life easier for sorting out libraries and wishlists...

    http://swl.mabako.net/DLPG

    If you backtrack to the main site, it'll also let you filter the group out to see which people own which game.

    Ditto Z; Sign me up. I have a few games stocked up, but am intending to really take advantage of the holiday sales for the AAA games.

    Edit: So far I have a copy of the Tomb Raider Collection, Psychonauts, Gunpoint, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack, and The Binding of Isaac.

    So far I've got Torchlight 2, Witcher 2 EE, Antichamber, Sleeping Dogs, FTL, Tropico 4, Hitman Absolution, Ace Combat Assault Horizon, Fallout Vegas Ultimate, Dishonored, To the Moon, and Devil May Cry.

    Didnt have the money this year to go crazy, so I got what I could. Will probably be picking more up during the sale.

    How do you want us to proceed if we have games we'd like to giveaway for the Santa Midknight?

    Steam profile is up and public. Do you want a link to our steamgifts profile also?

    Same as before, you just list them, I'll keep a running tally, and as we get nearer to Christmas I'll start telling you where to send them. Also same as before, I want to try to make a massive dent in it before Christmas, so folks who are on break can get a chance to get in some quality time before school/work sets back in!

    Steamgifts profile doesn't matter, so long as you are in the DLP Steam group, you'll be able to enter whatever we do.

    At some point we'll have to ban the Humble Bundles, maybe next year, since they don't come individually anymore, and it was a headache trying to get people who didnt have the games last time, lol. NO I'M TELLING YOU TAKE FREE STUPHS!!!!!!!! Conversations I never thought I'd have with gamers!

    You can gift the games individually from Humble Bundles. There's a small gift button on the right side of the game you can use to send the specific thing to someone else.

    Ever since I got something last year without putting anything in I've been collecting a few games to hand out. Not as many as some, but I was determined to give back this year.

    I have the following to toss into the pot:

    2x Bastion
    1x Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition
    1x Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    1x Alan Wake Collector's Edition

    There was one bundle with the new system before they added the ability to gift and then everyone raged so they added the ability to gift, I think. I know the WB bundle had the ability to gift out single things.

    Middy, I've got 60-70 Steam games to give away. Some are AAA, but they're all from bundles [Humble Bundle, Groupees, Indie Gala, Amazon, et al.]. Is it okay to just put them all on Steam Gifts?

    Steam Keys
    =========
    • 60-70 keys. All from bundles.


    Origin Keys
    ===========
    • Dead Space [x4]
    • Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box [x4]
    • Crysis 2 Maximum Edition [x4]
    • Dead Space 3 [x4]
    • Medal of Honor [x4]
    • Mirror's Edge [x4]
    • Battlefield 3 [x1]
    • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising [x3] - stand alone, doesn't require RA3
    • Populous [x3]

    That's 90-100 keys total. Everyone's a winner this year.

    I can't give away the Origin keys on SteamGifts, so if you want to use them you'll have to pick the giftees manually and then some people will refuse to use Origin anyway. If it's going to be a pain in the ass, or you only want to gift some of them, that's fine. Those Origin keys are just a by-product from me buying Steam key bundles, so essentially they're freebies.

    Not all of them. We'll make the list, give out a ton, then Streamgifts a chunk after making sure we have sufficient userbase to do that method. I don't want to bother with it if 10 people are capable or wanting to use it.

    Yeah. Steamgifts is only essentially going to be for the mass quantity stuff, lower tier games, stuff that's impossible for me to figure out wtf wants it.
