So what is the protocol on duplicates?

Thanks to RMC for Pandemic and Field of Glory from Blackhawk and I also got those 2 from Formix and Skinypupy.

I think it was Hit by Ambulance that got me Lock N Load. Thanks!

Wish Steam had a way to say hey someone sent that game already as a gift...

Lassr · Post by **Lassr** » Tue Dec 22, 2020 10:26 pm

I sent Isgrimnur Beyond Earth, so no one else do it!

I probably do most my giving this weekend after I get paid.

I played all three this year. I rate that a solid 'yes.' The ties between them run pretty deep, and they play more like a three part story than most shooters do.

then the follow-up question - original or Redux versions of 2033 and Last Light? i have the original of 2033 on Steam and the remake on Epic, and i don't own Last Light at all. the original versions are no longer available _anywhere_ from what i know.

Saves don't carry over, so I'd go with the Redux and play them wherever you have them. Note that there are multiple endings to each, and that the sequels assume one particular ending. The endings are based on the choices you make all through the game. This can mean that you can have something major happen in one game, only to have the next game pretend that it didn't happen. It isn't too much of thing as long as you know it can happen and roll with it (I'd suggest looking up all the endings to each one after you finish each so that you'll be prepared for the one that's 'canon'.)

/edit - also, that series was absolutely fantastic. I loved every minute of every one of the games.

Oh! Hey! I got an unexpected gift just now and have passed it on to someone on the list. I will continue to troll through my OO friends briefly.

Thank you hitbyambulance for the Battlestar Galactica Deadlock bundle!

Everyone else please forget I was in this thread or am a member here (seriously), because my backlog is eating my alive.

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Wed Dec 23, 2020 9:12 am

Thanks to Grifman for Jenny LeClue Detectivu, and hitbyambulance for We Were Here Together! I look forward to playing both of these over these next couple of months.

RMC · Post by **RMC** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 9:17 am

Formix - Thanks for both Waterdeep and Rise of Nations.

Both games I just have not bought but have wanted for a while.

Thanks everyone for everything.

JetFred · Post by **JetFred** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 9:48 am

Thanks D.A.Lewis (Dajjer) for Fallout 76!

Lassr · Post by **Lassr** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 10:37 am

Thanks Formix for the Civ add on pack

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 10:57 am

Don't forget to update the list (linked in the first post) with your given/received. I usually use the list later in the sale to make sure that nobody was forgotten.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:01 pm

Im not able to participate this year but Blackhawk got me anyways

Thanks BH for Star Valor!. I already have it fired up. Its a bit like some other space games I own and love so already having fun.

Im not sure if Im supposed to add my name to that list and mark who got me what here because Im not actually part of it this year as I can't reciprocate . Ill avoid the list. Thanks again BH.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:07 pm

Grif, thank you for Evochron Mercenary.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:08 pm

I didn't expect you to reciprocate, so don't worry about the list ( I didn't list sending it on my list count, either.) Just have fun.

/edit - that was to Daehawk.

noxiousdog · Post by **noxiousdog** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 12:37 pm

Thank you to Jaddison for ICBM! Time to nuke some folks....

And while it did it privately, here's a public thank you to Isgrimnur for Dirt Rally. I'll try and keep it on the path.

@Grifman - I think I sent you the ATOM expansion. You are very welcome.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 1:09 pm

Thank you Jaddison for Divinity II ! Wow you guys are working overtime to make a guy who cant participate to have a lot of fun over the holidays.

I loved DOS 1 except for the between party banter which drove me nuts(*insert pirate with a ship wheel on crotch here*) so think Ill just go to DOS 2 and play it instead.

Thanks again!

Merry Christmas all.

Formix · Post by **Formix** » Wed Dec 23, 2020 5:34 pm

Thanks to Skinnypuppy for the Witcher 3 - that was really generous!

Okay, I sat out the last two years and now I'm trying to give some gifts. Why would I be able to put a game in my cart but the "Give as Gift" option is not available? I can see it, I just can't select it. Doesn't seem to effect all games.

I ran into this when I was trying to do it from the website but if I go to the desktop APP it works fine.

oh, and thanks Stessier for Ultimate General: Civil War

It's very odd - I couldn't get some games to work in either app. I did finally get something on the list to work - just curious why. Oh well - Merry Wishmaslist to all!

List the game and I will do a random drawing this weekend. Anyone can participate even if you are not doing the WISHLISTMAS thing this year.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ and Repentance DLCs (should be $20-25?) - the latter will be released on December 31 (just found out Afterbirth+ is required for Repentance to work)
