First off I'd just like to say thanks for the giveaway. The game I want is Watch Dogs 2 for the ps4. My PSN name is AGeNT-ReLLiK and if you look hard enough through my profile you'll see that I bought and beat the original Watch Dogs when it first came out. I know alot of people were disappointed in it but I thought it was a fantastic game and I've been looking forward to the sequel ever since. I loved the emphasis on stealth and hacking over the traditional run and gun action style that open world games have. I'm a huge fan of stealth games (Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid, Hitman, Assassins Creed) and if you name it I've probably played it. I've been a huge gamer my whole life and I've always been a huge fan of stealth games ever since I played Metal Gear Solid on the PS1, because I enjoy the thrill of trying to infiltrate a location undetected and Watch Dogs 2 delivers on that front with even more options than the original.

There's a sweet new drone that you can use (reminds me of the one from Ghost Recon Future Soldier) and survey an area or use it to shock enemies like the Metal Gear Mk II in MGS4. There's also a stun gun for non-lethal runs (Woohoo!) which is something the original didn't offer and some of my fondest memories are running through games without killing anyone or being detected and it looks like this game had embraced that and allows you to play it how you want which to me is one of the things I look for most when playing a game. I love playing around with mechanics in games (MGSV was perfect for this) and figuring out new ways to do the missions.

The first game was set in Chicago (I'm from Wisconsin so I've been there a few times and thought it was pretty well done) and after being blown away by the level of detail in another Ubisoft game earlier this year, The Division, I'm looking forward to seeing how this games version of San Fransiscos looks and feels. From the videos I've seen it looks like they did a fantastic job at capturing the city and its people (nudists!) which is really no surprise looking at what Ubisoft has done in the past with the Assassins Creed franchise. I love just running around in those games looking at all the landmarks that they've put in and look forward to doing it in this game too.

The game also features richer customization than the original with alot more variety when it comes to clothing which is something I also enjoy in games. It doesn't look as detailed as in the Saints Row series but definitely looks at least to be on par with GTA5 in terms of clothing options and I look forward to going to the clothing stores and looking at all the options they have, and hopefully there's some crazy stuff in there too.

Thank you for taking the time to read this (if you did) and I really hope you pick me because I really want to jump into Watch Dogs 2 while it's still fresh and the multiplayer is still active, and especially before they take out all the crazy weird stuff (genitals! WTF Ubisoft) because someone complains about it. Thanks again for doing this and I wish you and everyone here an early Happy Thanksgiving (don't eat too much)!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Dont know if I need to post my Steam Id because I'm asking for a ps4 game but here it is anyway. Feel free to add me if you'd like (on either Steam or PS4). Steam ID

I don't really have a wishlist on Steam or Amazon, but I do know what I'd add.

I'm not gonna link anything right now because I'm on my phone, but I might do it later.

First I'll start with my lame but I love it battlestation. I have laptop, to be more specific, I have an HP Envy Pavilion Dv7, it's nice and has enough power to play some good games, but since it was the first model not made out of plastic, it heats up a lot, and since I got it as a gift from a friends family, it was used by them, so it also has some dust in the fans, making it heat up too. Other than that, I love that Envy model.

My steam wishlist was almost destroyed by Argawilda gifting me almost most of the games I had there, Final Fantasy VIII, FTL. FTL was awesome by the way, and FFVIII is my favorite, I still have a physical copy♥
My wishlist right now I think it only has The Stanley Parable, and I was gonna add Valkyria Chronicles since it's one of my favorite games.

Amazon wishlist. On top of the list, it's something that is not a game, but it's game related. I've mention a lot of time here that the Persona series and Mother series are my favorite of all time. I really like figures, so what I'm talking about here, is a Nendoroid figure of one of my favorite characters of Persona 3, Aigis, the anti-shadow robot. I love Nendos and other P3 characters, but why her? She's the character that made me cry in that game. Another item in my list is a physical copy of Mother 2 (Earthbound) and the Mother 3 gameboy micro (not Amazon, but ebay). I love a game that can make me cry, and Mother 3 did a great job there. I want to get the Persona Q edition 3DS XL and change my Link Between Worlds XL for it >.<!
Like some of the ones I've read here, I also want a Wii U haha. There's a lot of games I want to play there including Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Smash for Wii U, Pikmin 3, and I'm also waiting for a new Metroid to be announced, and the Star Fox game they teased at E3. New Zelda too please >.<

OH THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY WISHLIST! Candy, I love candy, sour candy, spicy candy. Best gaming snack out there.

Oh I forgot, I also want the special edition of the PS2 game Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon that includes a plush of the demon Raiho. (A Jack Frost dressed up as Raidou hehehe).

I have a weird list I know haha, but those are things I've always wanted to get. I'll try linking most of it when I get to my pc. And I'll keep reading some of the ones here :p

Also, I do read GoG posts!

Edit: Forgot to add I want to get an Xbox One to play with my girlfriend, she keeps throwing at my face that she's gonna get The Master Chief collection on Tuesday >:|

Edit #2: Took a picture of my "battlestation".

Hi, thanks for doing the giveaway. This kind of generosity is much appreciated.

Anyway, I'd like to request a Physical version of Pokemon Moon. The reason why I need it physical is because my SD card doesn't have enough room for the digital version. (╥_╥)

Here is my SteamID. I'm just putting it here because you might want to see it or something, idk.

Here is my Miiverse/Nintendo ID.

Here is proof that I own a 3DS. I even drew Lampent, one of my favorite pokemon.

So, the reason why I want Pokemon Moon is because I'm a huge pokemon fan. No, not the ordinary Pokemon fan that just plays all the games. I'm one of those fans that plays hours and hours breeding, trading, battling Pokemon.

I have over 300 hours on Pokemon X alone. Yes, I have over 500 hours on Animal Crossing but that's not the point. (⋟﹏⋞)

Back when Pokemon X was popular, I would breed so many Pokemon and everyone wanted to trade with me. I'm serious, I even made a website of all the Pokemon I bred.

And I initially traded Pokemon in Reddit. It's really the only reason why I made a Reddit account in the first place. Look at the reviews I got!. This was my old reddit account. Trust me, I'm a good Pokemon trader. I would never trade Pokemon in the black market.

Errrmm, you heard nothing. Anyway, I eventually moved to Smogon which is basically an online competitive Pokemon community.

I used to be a competitive Pokemon trainer back when Pokemon Black/White came out, but I became a breeder when X/Y came out. I've written some articles back then for the Little Cup tier. (Basically we only use baby pokemon to fight. I know it's cruel.)

So, what I'm trying to say is that I would very much appreciate if I win Pokemon Moon. I'm not just one those people who play Pokemon and be done with it. I actually have a passion for this game. Pokemon is my childhood.

I know you clocked in hundreds of hours for Binding of Isaac. I can tell you also share a passion for a game. We both have a game that we very much enjoy. Something we can keep playing even if we have seen everything the game has to offer.

If you're going to pick a winner, at least pick someone that you know that will play the game even after they beat it, someone who would clock-in hundreds of hours, someone who would actually enjoy playing the game, someone who has a deep passion for the game. Not just someone who wants a game because they're curious.

That's pretty much all I have to say. I know the post was long, but I wanted to show you how much Pokemon means to me. It's not just a game to me, it's much more than that.

And yes, I fully understand that a shrimplet is just a small shrimp. Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays.

NNID: Vessica (If you need additional Information, tell me. I'm not sure what is needed)

I am here to request Pokemon Mystery Dungeon That is the digital copy.

Click here for the Amazon version. It's the same price, but if its easier then you can go here instead.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

So You play as a human mysteriously turned into a Pokemon. And you've met these other Pokemon and you have to recruit them into your team to go into these dungeons. I've played the old versions, I think it was darkness or sky? But it had an amazing story. I befriended this Pokemon and everyone outcasted me, something like that? But it was really cool. And then there was another story, or maybe it was the same game but you met Celebi. I believe this was Time but There were these time gears and time was falling apart.

Now in Super Mystery Dungeons, you can recruit every single Pokemon. And before I read reviews of Gates to Infinity (The last Mystery Dungeon game) And heard it wasn't that good, you were confined to your team. Well the story is about these Pokemon turning into Stone mysteriously. (Medusa confirmed?) Even legendary Pokemon. There are so many new Pokemon and I can't keep up so there's going to be a lot of new Pokemon I don't know which I think will be fun to explore and discover. And the graphics too, I haven't played a mystery dungeon in quite a while so it's nice for a refreshing graphics and looks on it. Also I've heard it's much more challenging, and I like challenges. It provides more of an incentive to grind and actually use strategies. And mostly the memories. I might cry even before I start the game. I remember the movies, the anime, the cards, everything. I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as I can for it to get as awesome as possible.

And also after I finish, I can give it to my brother to play so we can both have played it. Okay well I hope I kept it brief, but also sorry for all the troubles! ._. Happy Holidays and good luck to those who win. <3 And another upside is that you can give the other $20 for someone too. Well here's my lucky number; 7. I just thank you for the chance of winning!!! <3 I can't show my thanks enough.

> Alright, I'm going to post what I posted in my actual request for some DLC. (and some extra writing)
>
> I have very easily put in over 600 hours for this game, I'm not sure of a way to prove this to you but if I could, I would! I've played more in this MMO than in most of my steam library put together, I've tried so hard to get this Bundle but my parents don't get paid until after the 29th, I really hope you can fulfil this for me.

Hey GiftOfGames! /u/Saikewnonebi here :).

Today I'm Requesting The SW:ToR Story Bundle; this includes a 60 Day Time Card, 2400 Of The Games Premium Currency, an Exclusive Pet, The Rise Of The Hutt Cartel Story Pack and the Shadow Of Revan story pack! That's a lot of content for $40!

I absolutely adore this game! It's the only MMO I'm actually into! Currently I have one max level character (not max level anymore, the cap was raised to level 60 but you can only get there with the Story Packs).

I currently have two characters that I play on mainly, One called Saikewnonebi (Level 55) on the Republic Side (he's a Jedi Knight, yo.) I also have a girl called Kelechi (Level 35) on the Empire side, she's a Sith Marauder.

I massive enjoy levelling because of the story, but I want to continue the story and go to Manaan and Rishi (the two added planets) - there are also two added endgame Operations (A.K.A Raids) I'm massively missing out on the content my Guild is doing because they all have the DLC's and I don't.

  • Talking of Guilds, here's some info!

    My republic side character's are all in the PvE guild, Eternal Dawn. I'm currently a Recruiter and we have ~300 members. The guild were very friendly to me as when I got Saikewnonebi to Level 50 I was still quite new to the game. IIRC I ran an Operation with a character named Badass and I asked him if his guild was open, he said yes and I as invited almost immediately! I've been in Eternal Dawn ever since - it's been a good time!

    My Empire side guild is well, mine! I'm the Guild Leader of a guild named Imperial Eclipse and have been for about two weeks! We currently sit at around 15 members but we really look forward to growing! It's more a levelling guild until the first member reaches endgame! (Level 50+). Of course, this is an open invitation to join my guild, if you play the game and want to join the guild just comment the name of your character and I'll throw you an invite when you're online!

  • You don't play the game? Why Not!

    If you don't play the game, I think you should!
    If you're a fan of Star Wars, or a fan of KoToR I or II, this game is great!

    Hell, if you wanna start out I'll even help you! Joining my Guild on the Empire Side will grant you a 6.8% EXP boost, and as the amount of players in the guild increases, so does the boost! Oh, and if you plan on subscribing to the game in the future (Cheap deals on g2a.com) then why not use my Referral Link? Info on that can be found here! (If you click it, and subscribe within 14 days of clicking it - I get the bonuses on the FAQ page)

    TIP FOR SUBSCRIBING: If you subscribe, you should immediately activate a security key on your account (iOS or Android), this will grant you 100 Cartel Coins per month even after your subscription has run out, it will also add an extra layer of security to your account.


    The deal runs out on the 29th, so if you feel like my request is worthy of being fulfilled, please do it by the end of today.
u/KindaConfusedIGuess · 2 pointsr/GiftofGames

Okay so, keep in mind that I have chronic depression so uh... my answers may not be the most uplifting. Sorry.

Questions, Part 1

  1. Oh geez... uh... let's see... shit... Man, I don't really know. I mean, I guess probably something from when I was really little, too dumb and innocent to know just how much the world sucks. A time before I had to worry about anything. I can't really think of a specific example. Sorry :(

  2. Yesterday was pretty nice. My uncle came by and we chatted about stuff for about an hour. We never really do that anymore. He usually just calls or comes by for a brief enough moment to remind me that I'm a fuck-up and a failure at life, and to give me something like money or food that I've had to beg him for. So yeah, actually having a friendly chat about random bullshit with him was nice. Wish we could do that more often...

  3. Play video games and watch Anime. That's about all my life consists of, really.

  4. Die :D! But besides that, uh... I dunno. I don't really have any other hobbies besides gaming and watching anime.

  5. I really, really need to read more. There's so many classic books I desperately need to read, but never manage to get around to reading. In fact, I've only read one actual book in quite some time - and my friend wrote it. This one (sorry for the shameless shilling) to be specific. So when my buddy becomes famous, I have a signed copy of his first book :P.

    Buuuut... if you're willing to look outside of regular books, and would like to try out a Manga (Japanese comic, if you don't know), I highly recommend Yotsuba to! (aka Yotsuba&!). If you want something that will put a smile on your face, Yotsuba has got you covered.

    However, if you want to try something even more unique, I highly, HIGHLY recommended the When They Cry series of visual novels. Possibly my favorite written works of fiction ever, I could probably go on for hours and hours about how amazing they are. There's two separate When They Cry stories, each one being 8 games (or "books" if you want to consider them that, since they are 99.9% pure reading with no real player interaction) long. And yes, they are long. Reading the entire series straight through would probably take you more than a month. And don't let the "visual novel" name put you off - it's NOT a dating sim.

    The first series, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry) is a suspense/mystery story with mildly silly mood, things do get dark. Very dark. Without spoiling too much, the story is about a kid who moves to a small town, and finds that the town holds a dark secret, where each year on the eve of their town festival, someone dies and someone else goes missing - and the source of this is event is attributed to an angry local God named Oyashiro-sama. So our hero begins to investigate the cause of the events, not believing in curses or evil Gods, but perhaps he might be biting off more than he can chew...

    On Steam, only the first 4 Higurashi "books" have been released thusfar. You can get the remaining 4 on Mangagamer's website, but this version is better since it has upgraded graphics (with the option of using the old ones too) and retains the original (awesome) soundtrack which had been changed in the old Mangagamer version. The rest of the remake should come out eventually though. I'd recommend at least checking out the first one and seeing if you like it, but keep in mind, the beginning of the story is deceptively cheerful.

    And then, there is, in my opinion, the greatest thing ever written. Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry). It's officially a spiritual sequel to Higurashi, but you can read Umineko without having read Higurashi, but it's definitely recommended to do so if you can.

    Umineko is also 8 "books" and that package on Steam includes the first 4 of them, known as the "Question Arc" (the latter 4 being the "Answer Arc"). As for it's genre, it's a mystery. Or maybe it's fantasy. It really depends on your perspective - and whether or not you will believe in Witches.

    See, Umineko tells the tale of the wealthy Ushiromiya family, and on the eve of their annual family conference at their secluded island mansion, a letter arrives from one claiming to be a Witch, who claims that she will collect on a debt owed to her by the family - with their lives. Brutal murders occur in the name of sacrifice, to resurrect the Golden Witch, Beatrice, but our hero, Battler, doesn't believe in Witches. Even in the face of bizarre, unexplainable murders, Battler insists that the culprit must be one of the 18 people known to be on the island. But what if there is a mysterious 19th person, Beatrice? If not, who is committing the murders, and... why?

    Sorry if I've kinda gone on a rant, but I LOVE the When They Cry series (especially Umineko) and I HIGHLY recommend it if you love a good story.

    6 . Oh.... um... Just uh... read that whole thing above, I guess lol. I'm also really fond of JRPGs, as you can see, I've put hundreds of hours into JRPGs on Steam alone, and of course, I've completed countless JRPGs on other platforms as well (I'm actually emulating Tales of Legendia on PCSX2 right now). I'm not into WRPGs at all, but I have no problem sinking dozens - or even hundreds - of hours into a good JRPG. If you haven't played many of them, I'd be happy to recommend some, if you'd like. Unfortunately, Steam is really kind of lacking in JRPGs and a lot of the last-gen JRPGs are only on PS3, which I don't have. Some of them have been ported to PC, like FF13 and Tales of Symphonia HD, but there's a lot that are still PS3 exclusive that I'd love to play, like the other Tales games and Ni no Kuni. I've considered requesting a PS3 on here at some point, actually, but I never get around to it since I figure no one would grant such a big request lol. Anyway, but yeah, at least SOME JRPGs are now coming to Steam these days. Can't wait for Tales of Berseria in January! Though I wish they'd bring these other JRPGs to PC, plus others like FF15 and Persona 5.

    Questions, Part 2

  6. Well right now, I've actually been suffering from some health problems and very little seems to be being done about them. A few months ago, I went to the hospital because I was having chest pains and they determined that the problem was damage to my esophagus from acid reflux. They gave me some medicine and sent me home, and it took several weeks for it to get any better at all, but it still kind of hurts and doesn't seem to be getting any better, not for over a month now. They tell me that I just need to take the medicine, improve my diet and exercise, and while I've done the former 2 things, the latter is impossible at the moment because I just don't feel physically capable of doing any kind of significant exercise. If I get riled up, my chest just starts to hurt more. And no, they've said it's not my heart or lungs or anything like that, they're pretty certain it's related to stomach/esophagus damage. But yeah, it's not really getting any better, which is making me feel more miserable :(

  7. Cut out all the foods I love and replaced them with fucking crap that I can't stand because the doctors said that's what I have to do. And again, it's still not really helping.

  8. Probably seen the doctor 15+ years ago when my stomach-related problems started happening in the first place.

    ---

    Now... I suppose you want to know what I want, right? :P

    First off, here's my Steam ID.

    Let's see... What do I want most that isn't a preorder... Hmm... Shame that Tales of Berseria isn't out yet lol.

    Okay wait a second, 2 weeks? Well, right now, this one game is a preorder, but in 2 weeks, It'll be out. So in that case...

  9. Planet Coaster - I had actually attempted to request this a while back, but it didn't get accepted. The reasons why I want it are all listed in that thread (as well as a rather long story that you can read if you like).

  10. I know you said to put my top 3 here, but that's really the only thing I want at the moment. Everything else is, I think, too expensive at base price to justify asking for, is not out yet, or is something that I probably wouldn't be able to make enough time to play. I had considered asking for Under Night in Birth and Melty Blood but my ability to play those entirely depends on whether or not my one friend who has the games will ever play them with me, and even though he always says he will, he never plays the fighting games we already both own with me anyway... Unless... YOU want to play them with me? :O

    As for the why I would want those 2 fighting games... well, they're made by the same company, and I'm already very experienced with the Melty Blood series and it's probably my favorite fighting game series (even though nobody ever plays it :( ).

    Okay um... I think maaaaybe this post has gone on just a little bit too long, so... I hope it's not too much for you to read, and uh... just reply to me, if you want. Especially if you're interested in any of those visual novels/manga/games/etc that I mentioned :D
u/GumGuts · 3 pointsr/GiftofGames

I've actually studied Haiku with a Haiku master. I'll explain a little bit of the background on what makes a Haiku a Haiku, and then write one.

A Haiku actually doesn't confine itself to 5-7-5. Most Americans realize this was a mechanism built primarily for the Japanese language, so English haiku usually have a few more syllables. There are three lines, each with a specific function; the first line being to preface the the Haiku. The second and third lines make up the core of a Haiku, and the juxposition between the two is what makes a Haiku a Haiku. This is, believe it or not, the most famous Haiku in Japan, written by one of the greatest Haiku Masters, Basho.

The old pond;

A frog jumps in —

The sound of the water.

So the first line, 'The Old Pond,' sets the scene. It's a little foreign to try and truly grasp a Haiku, but it can be thought of, in the primary sense, as profound. Secondary, is literate. Never intellectual, but often metaphorical. It's as if a Haiku exist in between the lines. There isn't really a lot of going on 'behind' as there is 'in' the Haiku. An old pond. Drying leaves and the smell of grass, a cool evening, a light breeze. Stillness.

The second line, 'A frog jumps in --' is a verb. There are many translations, and usually Haiku masters translate best, but this one will do. Does the observant notice it? It would seem so. Rather simple. A frog jumping in is rather quick. If you've ever seen on, it's usually within a split second. It's borderline menial.

And the third, 'the sound of water,' brings the Haiku to life. What? You say. Well notice what happens between this and the second line. Haiku's have a deep connection and history with the Zen religion, of Rinzai and Soto. As it where, what is the sound of one hand clapping? A Haiku is almost thought of as a Koan. The sound of water is the experiencer realizing the Haiku, the moment of expectation and sudden transformation, the true intention of the artist. Imagine a child hearing a sound for the first time, or playing peek-a-boo. Perhaps, it's similar to an 'Oh!' moment. To truly understand a Haiku takes deeper inner contemplation, for the haiku is the reader himself.

It's as if the canvas is the pond, set for the reader to fill himself with. Stillness, tradition, ancient. A frog leaps, and from deep silence -- the sound of water. How could one fathom?

So, I'll do my best to write one. It's been a while, so I'll keep it short. This is after all night playing video games.

Light through the blinds

My cigarette, the ashtray

Is overfilling

For more information, read one of the best explanations of Haiku around, A Zen Wave by Robert Aitken.

Anyway, I hope that was enlightening. My steam ID is Mr. Sir Pancakes Dubois. I'd really like Arma, which might be able to play on my laptop, but if not, Original War looks really cool.

Edit: On second thought, Original Wars would be my first choice! Arma's second :)

I would like Overwatch

I first played this game on the open beta and instantly fell in love with it, I had never played a fps game before and also wasn't fond of games with WASD movements because of bad experiences when I was younger.

This game blew my mind, the maps, the heroes, the abilities, everything was so beautiful and fun. On the open beta I had the most playtime as Pharah, I loved flying above the battlefield.

Last weekend we had the Free Weekend, I played nothing but Overwatch trough the whole Free duration, loved the new hero Sombra and discovered my new favorite D.Va. The Arcade Mode is also really fun, had a lot of cool matches on the Mistery Duel map and the random heroes mode.

I can easily say this is the best game I've ever played in my whole life.

Sadly I can't afford this game, I don't know how the price looks like from an american perspective but I'm from Brazil and it costs 160 Reais here and that's a LOT.

Amazon Link for the game (comes with a digital code) : Overwatch $ 34,99

I've most recently gotten into F.E.A.R. after not really liking it a few years ago. I mainly play on consoles so my first attempt at it was on PS3 but I really didn't like the aiming using the controller, felt way too fiddly. I've had it on PC for a few years now but I was always turned off at having to use a Keyboard and Mouse as the primary controls as it's just not something I've ever gotten accustomed to. After an hour or two of giving it a go with the K+M control scheme, I have to say I absolutely love it. The gunplay really reminds me of Half-Life 2 in the best way which is something I never thought I'd find in another game. The whole game is just really fluid and I'm really interested in what's going to happen next.

For the Key Raffle I choose 133 and Super Win The Game please.

As for the bonus raffle, I'm not sure if this is allowed, but I'd really appreciate a digital copy of Rock Band 4 on PS4 and my number is 888. Here's my PSN as well. Just let me know if you'd rather a steam game and I can change my selection :)

Thanks for the opportunity!

u/SeanHaruya · 1 pointr/GiftofGames

Thank you for doing this, OP.

This is my Steam ID

The game I want is not exactly a "game", but more like the DLC Expansion of that game I never thought I'd end up loving: Bloodborne - The Old Hunters.
Another game I'd love is XCOM - Enemy Unknown. I've been hearing great things about it and I've watched some gameplay. This looks really, really good to be honest.
And finally, because I think Indie games deserve some recognition (and FuturemanGaming showed me how cool the game is): Nuclear Throne. It seems INSANELY addictive and fun, and so many crazy things happen!

Finally, a funny image you say?

Happy holidays, and hope you start next year having a blast!

Wow, I have no idea what you do for a living by I'm insanely jealous!

I literally JUST got gifted a Nintendo Switch, I'm dying to get a game to play for it but I can't really afford it.

Ideally I'd love a copy of Let's go Pikachu, but honestly if you're happy to gift me then I'd be happy to let you pick my first Switch game. =) good luck here and to everyone else!

Also, if anyone has a switch and wants to add me, PM me! =)

Ok books. I do books. I r gud reader (no really)

So some of my favorites:

The Dresden Files Series: While Harry Dresden annoys me on occasion, this is a fantastic series of books all about a wizard who advertises himself in the phone book. No, really. Its pretty damn entertaining. Start with Storm Front, the first novel. While the books are each self contained issues they all connect to each other to form a large mega narritive. Urban Fantasy!

The Percy Jackson Series: Starting with the Lightning Thief, this series of books by Rick Riordan are some of my favorites. I am a huge mythology nut, and the idea of a YA series where the kids are demigods is awesome. There are 2 primary series (one starts with The Lightning Thief and follows Percy, the second series starts with The Lost Hero) and tackle both Greek and Roman myth. He has started a new series called Magnus Chase which tackles Norse and its pretty damn good too. And there is the Kane Chronciles which deal with Egyptian...and all 3 groups take place in the same universe! Good stuff. YA Fantasy

The Rook: by Daniel O'Malley, the Rook starts with the main character waking up with no memories of her life, who she is, in a park surrounded by dead bodies wearing gloves. It gets more insane from there. I love this book, and the second in the series was pretty damn awesome as well. Long read though. Urban Fantasy at its finest.

ANYTHING By Brandon Sanderson: No. Really. Pick a book. Read it. Its good. Mistborn series, Alloy of Law series, The Rithmatist, the Reckoners, ect. Everything this man writers is gold. Just pick something and go. I admit I havent read SnapShot yet, but its on my list.

The Cape High Series: Ok so this is an indie author writing YA Superhero fiction. And its actually really good. I have read every book in the series and eagerly await the next one. It follows a group of high school super heroes, and their trials with entering the super hero world, where it turns out that Villains and Heroes for the most part are basically actors with super powers. They do deal with REAL supervillains though.

If you want more, I can give ya more.

Thank you for the awesome week of giveaways!

I'd like to join for Bloodborne™ The Old Hunters DLC for Bloodborne. Here is my PSN profiles: hugh31098.

Since i started gaining love for the Souls game, i has always want to try Bloodborne. The fast-paced combat intrigued me since it'd open up many possibility that wasn't viable in before in previous Souls game. So i when Sony saled Bloodborne recently, i couldn't resist, eventhough i wasn't owned a PS4 at that point. Pretty much go broke to experience this, but for me it was worth it, and the PS4 showed me a new way of gaming that i've never experienced before. Right now i'm going after the Platinum trophy of Bloodborne (as you may see in the profiles, i need 2 more trophy for the base game Platinum). I couldn't afford the DLC at the moment since i'm pretty much broke at this point; and i hope you could help me out.

I think it's best to summarize the post with the DLC trailer and a video from an awesome Youtuber i discovered recently: videogamedunkey.

Again, thank you for your generosity, and happy birthday!

You sure have a nice way to deal with all that negative stuff!

I haven't been on that sub for a while so I don't really know how bad the situation is, but it's amazing that people like you keep making other people happy despite all the undeserved crap they get back. Thank you!

I have been waiting for Spider Man to be on sale, but since that doesn't seem to be happening soon, I would love to win it! If I do win, I think the best option for you is Amazon (digital code, so no shipping is needed).

Again, thank you for being an amazing person!

I'd love to have Pokemon Moon. I haven't had my Pokemon fix in a long while and Pokemon Go is an okay distraction during traffic as long as I pay for data. But the last Pokemon game I really enjoyed was Black and White.

I bought a 3DS for Pokemon XY with all the hype. But it has let me down so badly that I'm just salty AF. Now, I have a 3DS I don't even use. But, maybe, with Moon, I'll have reason to pick it up again. XY was just too gimmicky with the 3D for me but lacked the heart that comes with the story and barely brought anything new to the plate.

It was a toss up between Sun and Moon. Sun has Vulpix, Ninetails and the cool wolf dude. But Moon has Lunala. I figure I can find someone to trade Vulpix and wolf dude with, in that case, whereas Legendary trading might not be a thing.

Also, Wicke is hot.

I really want to enjoy another Pokemon game again, enjoy the good old times.

I could grab my Nintendo ID or something (once I figure out how to), if I win. But, for now, here’s my Steam ID.

Thanks little shrimp.

And, yes, I’m still here.

Watching.

Waiting.

Game I want: Ys I & II Chronicles (PSN), to play on my PS Vita.

It costs 14,99, so a 20 US dollars PSN gift card would be enough (probably purchasable at Amazon or anywhere else you would prefer)

Hello, sir/madam gifter. As a 24yo English (major) student, my tastes are being shaped by literature and other studies, such as my own research on Japanese to English localization and translation, so modern games like military shooters, multiplayer arena stuff and so on and so forth are not really appealing to me anymore. It's hard to find a game that draws my attention as hard as the Ys series can do.

I've been looking to buy/start this series for a long time since most games are available for my PS Vita, but I can never find deals at the appropriate time. I just recently got a job, but I've been saving to get married (hopefully soon) and I had to dedicate my spare money to buy some clothes and keep on par with my current profession's standards (EFL teacher).

For instance, Ys Origin is currently on sale for 11,99 for the Vita (crossbuy with the PS4), but I imagine that this "I & II" compilation would be a better place to start the series. I don't mind ^allegedly outdated graphics and gameplay if the story is great, and as far as I researched it this game's story is amazing.

I would use this gift as a starting point to the series and then eventually, after beating this first two games, purchase the next game (probably following release date order, or the "story" order I heard about).

Thanks for the opportunity for requesting my game! I wish the best of luck for everyone.

Hello shrimp of tiny proportion, I, as you can read, am Tbshirk. I'm a frequenter on this subreddit and have entered giveaways, and hosted some myself. Firstly, I would like to thank you for this giveaway. Even if I don't win, you're going to make somebody very happy. You're doing a great thing. Oh, and I'm entering for Pokemon Sun. Amazon Link

I want it for a pretty simple reason. Pokemon fucking rocks, and it's fun as hell! To go into a little more depth, I played Pokemon a TON as a kid. Pretty much non-stop. Anyway, now that Sun and Moon are out, I feel the need to get back into it. Not only that, but I'm going to try to complete a Living Shinydex, which will very well take me years upon years to complete, but I am extremely determined.

Thank you so much for this giveaway and I hope you, and the readers have a fantastic Thanksgiving and holiday season in general.

Thanks for doing this Op this is sweet

Number = 48
Item i would like = [Bloodborne DLC from amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/Bloodborne-The-Hunters-Digital-Code/dp/B018GVR638)

Ive made a full request on this DLC [here] (https://www.reddit.com/r/GiftofGames/comments/3ylay0/request_bloodborne_dlc_for_ps4_20_on_amazon/)

here is basically what i wrote incase you don't want to see the full request.

I literally bought my ps4 just for bloodborne and i have no regrets, to me this game is a masterpiece in soo many ways! The soundtrack, the gameplay, the mechanics, the multiplayer, the subtle lore! i could go on. I have platinumed the game and completed it countless times on numerous difficulties, now just over 200 hours clocked into it since the day it released and i am certain i can easily play another 100 or so if i had this DLC, the DLC isn't your regular addition of new weapons and skins etc it is more of an old school expansion, I've seen the streams, everyone I've watched play it is well impressed with the amount of sheer content there is. Bloodborne doesn't have many flaws at all, but one of the issues i do kiiiind of have with it is the lack of variety in the weapons, but from what I've seen, in the dlc they have doubled the amount of weapons ! Not only that the new areas are some of the most challenging and rewarding there have ever been in a game made by From Software. Seriously purchasing this game is the only reason i still have my PS4 and if you do too i highly recommend getting bloodborne, it will consume your life man. I could go on and on about why this game is absolutely fantastic and how this DLC most likely is too, but i really hope you understand my love for this game haha and i don't want to annoy you with my terrible expressive skills in writing. TLDR - <3 blood borne

Again thanks for the chance!

Edit: BONUS feels STORY

I had a puppy when i was kid who's name was Arrow, he was a Pomeranian and i fkin loved this cotton ball. A little background, i got him for my birthday when he was a baby, i always wanted a pet. He rarely ever barked and when he did it was super cute so one day my mom got this walking toy dinosaur and put it in front of him which 9/10 times made go him crazy and bark a lot, this... this was the worst decisions my mom had ever made. Ever since the toy incident he started to bark sooo much he would do it all the time unless he was with you, this lead to the neighbours complaining, we live in a apartment so others have the right to make complaints to the manager if we make noise, in this case if he makes noise. The complaints continued for many months until we were forced to either make him be quiet or the SPCA (Pet people) will take him away :c we tried many things such as those anti- bark collars, not the painful but the beeping ones, yeah those sucked.. so long story short we sold him to a proper home, A sad sad day that was OP.

I'm a girl, I have insight x) don't give her a DVD, this is my first advice. DVDs get old and you watch it once and never again.

If she's into "girly stuff", anything and I'll repeat, ANYTHING, from this store will make her happy:
warning: this page contains intense amounts of cuteness.
http://niciportugal.wazala.com/category/pantufas/

(I linked a random product, I happen to find it adorable)

I just realized this is a portuguese store. my bad. If you can find in your country something like this, you're good to go. Be careful, not too childish. Cute/girly is different from childish!

Now I don't know how much you want to spend, that's why jewellery is tricky. If you can afford a watch, watches are good with anything.

a cute watch here another portugese store, sorry. I happen to own that model, I love it, just to give you an idea...

you can also go for Pandora bracelets, I personally find them a waste of money.

Picking jewellery from a simple store is not easy, so unless you really know what you are looking for, so, maybe... maybe no.

Ah, just yesterday I found this crazy creepy game.
If you wanna go something simple, this is very fun, not very long, that type of jumpscare game you can play with her.


And finally, this is a really cute/weird/dark little book from Tim Burton (the guy from the Nightmare before Christmas and such...)
It's not creepy or horror but it's dark enough so she might enjoy the stories. Amazon link here






u/ForgottenKnightt · 1 pointr/GiftofGames

This might be good for the Weird/creepy stuff :P

This For the nerdy stuff.

Both pretty good books in my opinion.


I'd love FTL if I get choosen :D

My Nintendo Tag is Cheddar. If I could receive any game right now it would be Pokemon Sun. My favorite game series as a kid was Pokemon. I grew up watching the show with my older brother, and I saved my money to get a Gameboy and Pokemon Ruby. I took that Gameboy everywhere and eventually started getting some of the older Pokemon games. I sold my Gameboy for some stupid reason and just recently picked up a 3DS and Omega Ruby. It has been great replaying my first Pokemon game and would love to have Pokemon Sun so I can experience some of the changes they have made to the series over the years that I didn't have a DS to play Pokemon games on.

It is possible to buy digital download codes for specific games on the 3DS and then message the code to the person you are gifting to, who can then download the game for free. However, not all 3DS games (and even then, not all E-shop titles) offer these codes. Pokemon Sun and Moon is an example of one that does work, and while when I did it I bought a code directly through a Nintendo website the easiest way now seems to be from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Moon-3DS-Digital-Code/dp/B01MD0U50R/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479559770&sr=1-2&th=1).

u/kaching335 · 1 pointr/GiftofGames

Could you possibly get a $20 PSN card from Amazon and have it emailed to me so I can get the Nathan Drake Collection for PS4?

If not, I would like RWBY: Grim Apocalypse on Steam.

Not exactly my #1 favorite song, but it's definitely up there

That's awesome. Also for reference

I was curious, but the only thing that I would worry about is just the whole account thing since no matter what you would have to post an account that is public, but I'm not sure how people can see someone's Nintendo Account.
