Hiya!! Coming back from the dead after over 10 years of not login in that forum I find this giveaway... Well, thanks!!

So I pick 8 and 15.
Those pack seems to have little gems.

Also CB: I discovered your LtF series today. Red everything (about 2h read?) and my did I enjoy it. The style, the little bits of Lewis' thoughts process and humour, also helped me renew with the universe of Eschalon a bit.
I believe his favourite colour to be Brown though I don't think he remembers! Ha!
Here's my reasoning: Chests and those tempting XXX Barrels are wooden brown and contains loot and goodies. Doors leading to new (and back from) adventure are brown too... And I would sprinkle chocolate on everything (almost everything; certainly not on sh*t!)...

Welcome back, and welcome to The List! :twisted: :o :shock:

I'll get you those games and add some flavor text. I'm on the road currently for work; I'm hanging in my hotel room right now and being lazy (got an early day tomorrow), but I promise to update soon!

I'm actually working on another bit of fan fiction for my collection. This one should be pretty interesting - it might actually be too big to just paste into a single post. I've been poking at it off and on since 2016.. >.<

**edit** Well, it might fit after all... successfully pasted 3800 words into a single post field... although I ain't done yet... ^_^

Too many games, don't know what I could even pick XD

Great idea for this new decade, though !

Edit : I decided to push my luck, and put on my armor to challenge the beast. I not so stealthily walked till the bedroom and prodded the (not snoring) sleeping hulk of a... bundle of love.
- Sweet darling, I'm sorry to disturb your rest at such an ungodly hour, but I found a giveway on a forum for games.
- huh ?
- There happens to be a bundle with Ultra Street fighter IV, would you by any chance be interested in it ?
- huh !(slightly moves head in a way that seems to mean "yes, I do")
- ok, sleep well my love
*level up jingle*

So, being still alive after challenging the beast, I'd like to pick number 11

A dark mist begins billowing near The List as it's remaining appendages begin thrashing and striking out at our heroes. The mist seems to collapse in on itself, forming a living cloak. Stalfos steps forward, with an immense scythe in hand. The glowing tentacles that are Pick's 8 and 16 freeze, then suddenly they both whip in his direction. Calmly, as though strolling through a park, Stalfos turns toward the speeding limbs of energy and begins to twirl his scythe as though were merely a baton. Dark energy gathers, and Stalfos darts forward between the two Picks. An almost imperceptible, circular slash severs both Picks, which continue to thrash around for a few moments before stilling.

The List belts out a furious roar that releases its own shockwave, momentarily stunning the gathered heroes as they are flung several feet back. The entire creature begins to glow with a pulsing light, as it prepares a final, devastating attack. The heroes struggle to recover, but it appears that it will be in vain... The List clearly plans to self-detonate, destroying everyone and everything in the surrounding area.

Just as the pulsing is reaching its crescendo, a vertical slash in reality appears in front of the monster, widening into a portal of glowing blue energy. Out of the portal steps Lewis, clad in some sort of leather gear, holding a rifle in both hands. Looking around, he flashes a scoundrel's grin. "Sorry guys, The Boss decided this was taking way too long." He lifts the rifle to one shoulder as it begins to emit a high-pitched whine. Upon pulling the trigger, a beam of super-heated plasma leaps from the barrel, striking and boring through The List with surgical precision. It's core implodes before the residual energy buildup creates a bubble inside the beast. It suddenly explodes outward, raining slimy purple goo everywhere, and on everyone - almost. Curiously, a small radius around Lewis remains perfectly untouched.

Lewis turns back towards the heroes, wrinkling his nose. "Whoops... didn't see that coming." Cracking another grin, he winks and gives a two-finger salute. As he steps back into the portal, he gives one last quip. "Enjoy the loot party!"

The Corpse is growing....

I may actually split things up by genre... it'll save some folks on the scanning... 'cause why waste time when looking for that free stuff? :mrgreen:

I swear it won't take the whole decade to give these games away... I'm slowly cleaning up the list... still got more games to add, but then it's gonna be "everyone pick 5 games" and we'll see where that goes.
