Also, I could use some pep in my step presently, so as part of your raffle comment, please link me to a video that never fails to cheer you up and explain why it makes you happy.
Giveaways
Bolded titles are games that I can personally recommend! Here are the results of the raffles:
Thanks for the giveaway. I'm not participating thought I'll still share videos. :)
The voiceover in Beauty and the Beast opening sequence has always cheered me up. It is very soothing to hear. I haven't watched the full movie for a long time just this and the Bonjour song many many times. This song is from a bollywood movie Hasee Toh Fasee. I hear it when I'm feeling like sad.
I don't need any games, but I have a modest collection of under-one-minute youtube clips that I think are hilarious. Here's one. Let me know if you ever need more. :)
This put quite a smile on my face! If you have more to link I'd love to watch them.
Monkey!
Typical Australian Car Accident (nsfw language)
I think these are best doled out slowly, so I'll keep coming back here occasionally for the next few days :D
there is no need to be upset
Thanks for putting this together! I'm interested in:
As for a video that never fails to cheer me up, my go-to is this weird-ass russian shit right here. It always makes me laugh out loud, and every time I watch it notice some detail that makes it both more hilarious and more confusing.
Haha that Vitas video is a classic in my office. Not sure if you've ever read up on him but the dude is incredibly talented. Done some interesting things with that talent that's for sure!
I've done a tiny bit of reading about him. I know he was legitimately huge in Russia in the 90s(?), and I've seen a few clips and videos of him singing live, enough to be able to see that he's an incredible singer. I mean, weird tongue shit aside, his singing in The 7th Element (the song in that video) is very impressive. It's mostly the silly blbllbllblbl stuff and the really off the wall fashion happening in the video that always get me tickled. Also, how damn serious he looks about it, lol.
If you've got any articles about him I'd certainly be interested in learning more.
Thanks! Also I edited the post to give seven tickets instead of five, so you get an extra two to spend if you'd like!
Thanks! I've edited my post.
Oh man, I normally pirate games I want to play. This post got me all amped up and I have no information on these 2 games at all. I am just going by your recommendation! I wanne be surpised!
As for the video... I think I have to go with Bill Wurtz's "History of the entire world, I guess"
it's kinda funny and you can't NOT learn something new by watching it. That'll make you feel better!
Glad you're amped! Also, I edited my post to give out seven tickets instead of five, so you get two extra if you'd like to adjust your entries.
Also, I won't spoil anything for you, but I will say that you made good picks! :)
Oeh, I went with a similar distribution.
You've already made the sale, stop selling!
And here's a dog getting it's butt dried, he's just so derpy it makes me laugh everytime.
Here's some videos:
Baron is adorable! Amazing to think that his antics have been viewed almost a million times! Amazing to think about how he's brought joy to many people out there, myself included. :)
Also, Freddie Mercury is incredible, and the kid-friendly Fox in Sox rap reminds me of MC Frontalot's "Start Over" (though the video is a little less kid-friendly).
Thank you for this
My choices:
Battlestar Galactica Deadlock (1)
F1 2018 (1)
GRIP: Combat Racing (4)
The Night of the Rabbit (1)
My choice for video is Take On Me: Literal Video Version
Fun catchy tune, super 80's, and the absurdity that comes from replacing the lyrics with lyrics describing the video. I just love this version of the song.
First of all, thanks for this give away! Outcast – Second Contact (7) looks cool so I'll put all of my tickets there.
This Pug Party video always makes me laugh. I think it's because the words fit so well, and the owner is so oblivious to how that poor dog is actually feeling.
You and your inventive giveaway formats. You only open these threads if and when you've got something, right? :D
I try to have fun with them! Giving away games gives me joy, and jazzing it up a bit hopefully makes the process more exciting for everyone.
Because I like bargains and have a bundle-buying issue, I pretty much always have surplus keys. I give away a lot of the less exciting ones on SteamGifts but lately have been saving some of the "better" ones to give away in batches here.
Thanks for doing this, my game selection is:
Dunkey's undertale video is long but always cheers me up.
Thank you for doing the giveaway! I've been procrastinating on playing the bioshock series. A free game might get the motivation going.
Red pandas are the best for a sad day. And nothing is funnier than a clumsy animal in the snow :)
Thanks for the giveaway! Here's a fantastic and creepily accurate piece of Skyrim NPC mimicry that always tears me up!
Thank you for this giveaway !
Look how cut he is ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP8zOSGKRZ8
I don't need any more games, but here's a sketch that makes me smile featuring Ronnie Corbett about four candles.

Sacred 2 - Gold EditionStarboundI'm only commenting here to loudly recommend that someone get Starseed Pilgrim! Be warned, it is not for everyone, but it is a very unique, challenging, and rewarding experience. If discovery intrigues you, do not pass this up!
Thanks for doing the giveaway. I don't want any game just want to say Serious Sam 3 is really fun game and worth playing. I completed the campaign in about 12 hours and then a repeat at higher difficulty. If you got an extra controller playing co-op mode is equally fun. It even has the classic split screen multiplayer mode. I didn't play online that much but there are decent player base if you are lucky to share right timezones. Next game in the serious Serious Sam 4 is also releasing this year.
Yeah I've heard good things, just too many games and way too little time.
At @culturedleftfoot's reccomendation (and a quick review check), I'd love to try Starseed Pilgrim.
Sure thing! I'll send the key in a PM.
Oh man, I would love to play snakepass because everyone says the learning curve is so interesting. Have you played it? if so, what did you think of it?
It's yours! I haven't played it, I've got too many games and I've just decided if I haven't played it at this point, I probably never will.
I'll PM you with the key.
Nice! thanks man! I'll keep you posted!
For anybody else curious, I've played a grand total of ~10 minutes of Snake Pass, but it's now in my queue to play more someday. It's interesting enough to want to play, but other stuff is higher on my list.
I you haven't give it to anyone else, I would love to play Starbound, and thanks for the give away.
You got it. PM me your steam name and I'll send you the gift.
I looked at the recommendations and have no idea what it is but would be interested in playing Serious Sam 3 if its still available! :)
*Grammar edit
Steam Key coming up, check your PMs!
Thank you! I might even stream it this weekend :)
Serious Sam is really awesome series. You'll love it.
Thank you so much for your generosity! I'm really interested in trying out Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, I just finished My Friend Pedro and would love to play games along the same line. Thanks!
Check your PMs!
Dhanyawad!
आपका स्वागत है
(I hope that's right, if not blame google translate)
That's correct!
I would absolutely love Sacred 2 if you still have it available!
I'm so sorry, somebody already requested it in PMs. Anything else you're interested in?
No worries! Any chance for Serious Sam 3? :)
Yikes, somebody already got that one too...
I apologize! I've updated the OP to reflect which games have been claimed already...
Any chance for guild of dungeoneering? :)
Now that I can do. I'll PM you the key.
I have a Portal 2 Steam gift in my inventory which I don't need. And a couple Humble Steam keys:
Cities in Motion 2Cities: SkylinesBejeweled™ 3Dead Space™ 2Dragon Age™: OriginsMass Effect™ 2Games are given away first come first served
I'd take Bejeweled 3 off ya, most of the modern variants are loaded with microtransactions or are designed for mobile.
Edit: Thank you!
I'd love Dragon Age!
Thanks, I would love to try out Mass Effect 2
I would love a copy of Cities in Motion 2 :)
Just like last time l'll be giving away a copy of Factorio.

Trans rights! Thanks for the giveaway!
A little known fact, Ardhanārīśvara (half male and half female), is an important manifestation of Lord Shiva and his consort Goddess Parvati for Hindus, that is actually a combination of both as one union.
Trans Rights, hell yeah!
I'd love to play the full version, even more so after the 1.0 release! :)
thank you for offering this!!
Hi, you won :)
Will DM you.
Trans rights!
