Thanks to WYBaugh for Hero Siege and to AWS260 for This War of Mine.

I hope to be able to send out some gifts starting tonight or tomorrow, when I don't have to worry about work.

I have an extra copy of Borderlands 2 if someone could use it. Just let me know.

Stop by, I'm here! Bring your boat!

(I actually mean that, I love when people just stop by our house during the holidays)

Huge thanks to Madmarcus for Besiege!

I'll be getting into the spirit soon.

Too bad there is no way to do a multiple gifting via Steam. They have the very cool and useful interface of showing you all the Steam friends that have a particular game wishlisted, but you can only send to one at a time! Boo! FWIW, everyone on this forum should at least try Kingdom Rush.

Probably one of the best examples of PC game balance ever IMO. While the campaign is very challenging, the real fun (IMO) comes when you try to get 3 stars on every level, and unlock everything, which opens up new challenge maps. SO. DAMN. HARD. But not frustrating hard, if you know what I mean. It's deceptively simple looking due to the cartoony interface, but make no mistake, there is serious (and fantastic) gameplay underneath that slick surface.

I have played this game so many times, it's not even funny - iPhone, iPad, and PC....just an amazing game.

Thank you to Carpet_pissr for Star Wars: Empire at War! The Force is really going to be with me this Christmas!

I have to find some time and get on the giving end of this.

I feel silly asking this, but did someone send me Legend of Grimrock II? It showed up in my "gifts" section this morning, but there doesn't seem to be any indicator of who it came from. Wasn't sure if it was an actual gift, or maybe something Steam was doing (i.e. give you a free gift when you send out X number of gifts to other people)

If it was someone here, thank you!

YellowKing · Post by **YellowKing** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 11:37 am

Thanks to MSD for Back to the Future: The Game!

Going to try to gift a few more tonight to those who haven't received anything yet.

Once it has been accepted, the only way to see who it is from is to check your emails. Just search them for 'Grimrock' and you should be good.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 11:41 am

Check your email thats linked to Steam. It sends a email each time you get or send a gift.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 11:42 am

Hey, IceBear! Thanks for Sniper Elite the 3rd.

I'm pacing myself for that very reason. I buy someone a gift, wait a little while.... buy another one. Etc.

Skinypupy · Post by **Skinypupy** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 12:01 pm

Steam sent me e-mails for all the other gifts I received yesterday, but I got nothing for Grimrock II. No idea who it came from. Weird.

+1

I'm trying to limit myself to 1 a day (or... apparently... 2, but the same game).

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 12:23 pm

I also have some shout-outs.

To AWS... for alien killing to tide me over until XCOM2.
To persself (whose "pacing" is apparently downhill and uncontrollable

) for some old school turn based squad tactical.
To stessier... who apparently knew that I just finished Saints Row IV and needed to be sent to hell.

I have both Sentinels and Shadows of Brimstone for TTS. More importantly, I have the instructions for both and can run a game. Just let me know.

Thanks to Wanderingoutlaw for even more Borderlands 2 goodness! It's a good thing I hit my mileage goal for the year...now I can spend all my time gaming.

When you send or receive, please make sure to update the spreadsheet in the first post.

And damn it, I love you guys, but no more for me please--backlog will eat me.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 5:00 pm

I was thinking about the backlog... and about Wishlistmas. And the embarrassing recognition that I have at least one game from last year that is still untouched.

So, for the first time, since I don't normally do New Year's resolutions, I'm going to make one this year. I resolve that the first new game I start in January will be a Wishlistmas gift! I have spoken, so be it!

. Thanks for King's Quest, it was ridiculously cheap.

Sectoid · Post by **Sectoid** » Wed Dec 23, 2015 7:22 pm

Dang it! I think Rip sent me Octodad too, Stess. I'm going to decline yours so you can re-gift it to someone else. Thank you to both you and Rip, though!
