(Update: The contest is now CLOSED and winners have been drawn[listed in posts 96 and 97].....thanks to all who entered. :))

During the summer of 2019, I went to a MLB game with my dad. We used to do that once a year, but we obviously had to skip it last year, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go this year, either. I don't even remember who played or who won. It was just nice to hang out with him for an afternoon. Before the game, we got some excellent biscuits and gravy at a restaurant named Biscuit Bitch. I ordered the "Hot Mess Bitch". It was heavenly.

Awesome contest!

Not in, but wish good luck to all who decided to take a part in it.

Sounds like it. Btw: Such a nice memory.....thanks for sharing it. :)

Also a humble suggestion: time with family is always precious and something to treasure, so maybe order the food to go and watch the game at home this year?

Also also, yer entered to the draws...best of luck to ya, as always. :)

- Thanks, fren.

> What is one good memory/moment you can recall from your childhood?

First moment in queue loaded from my memory:

Chillin' and playin' Contra (and a lot of other NES games) on Pegasus all day while sittin' on potty.

Beautiful times :D

I would like to in for Shadow Man ;)

Fond memories we create as the world turns.....because these are the days of our lives. ;D
(for those not in the know, the above line features the names of two american soap operas) So yer not in for the fabulous store credit prize draw then(just checking)?

Anyhoo, yer entered....GL :)

Thank you for the giveaway. I'm in :)

What is one good memory/moment you can recall involving yourself and/or family/friends over the last 1-2 years?
A. I lost my Father to Dementia last September and I fell into depression but my college friends supported me during this difficult time. It is said that true friends are those who help you in your worst time and they did. I'm proud to call them my friends.

What is one good memory/moment you can recall from your childhood?
A. Watching Dragon Tales in the morning.

...

I have had small bouts of sadness in the past....like when family or beloved pets passed.....and friends(here and elsewhere) were a nice thing to have through it all. I also enjoyed similar shows growing up as well.

That said, you are entered.....hopefully luck will smile upon ya. :)

- I am guessing this means you're also entering? Gonna add ya to the draws, then.
(feel free to tell me if I made an error and yer not entering)

Thanks for carrying this on mate.
I am in for both prizes, but 15 quids is worth a lot to me nowadays, so I hope I get luck on that.

1. I was fat and about to get married. Remembered I promised my wife's roommate in University she would not marry a fat guy. Lost 20Kg in 3 months, married her, went for honeymoon, and on my birthday's day crossed the line on a 10K run to meet her eyes waiting for me. It was also Mother's Day, and the money from the run went to fight against Breast Cancer, which my own mother was recovering from. I felt like Rocky!

2. Phantasy Star I for Master System. It was Christmas and my grandmother gifted it to me. My family would spent almost 3 months on vacations on her house in the country on that old days, and every single one of them I would wake up really early to play what is to this day one of my favorite games. I mean really soon, like 4-5am, because later than that the older brothers would take the tv away to play it themselves. To come back to the big city and back to school was like stepping into another world.

Thanks for making me relive those moments.
Cheers!

Since I already have shadow-man

I'm in for le 15 buckeroos!

When I finally got Netflix for the family before that I was umming and arring it!

My favourite time as a child was when me and my stepfather were doing (Maybe not so legal) activities and spray painted SOLD on the front and back windscreens on a parked car in the outback then stripped it down completely for spare parts we got the tip off the old man at a dodgy looking wreckers somewhere out in the bush the same night he also got a tooth pulled by a strange doctor in a lab coat while he lay down on the metal table!

I had a pretty colourful childhood!

Such an inspirational story....it goes to show what dedication and willpower can accomplish.

Ah, Phantasy Star....I myself only played bits of the older games(and a large chunk of the game for the Xbox360), but they are pretty nice.

And thanks for sharing with us. Yer entered, and here's hoping that luck be kind to you. :)

Sounds like ya did, mate....sounds like ya did.

Aaaaaaand entered :)

First and foremost, let me thank you for holding a giveaway once again, GamezRanker.

Second, I'm not in for Shadow Man, as I already have the game, won during one of the other giveaways you held in the past (in this case the one we had to predict the future regarding gaming in 2021). So thank you once again.

Now, regarding the first question, these past 2 years weren't memorable in a good way, and I'm not talking about the pandemic, but because of family matters. However, last year during the summer, and when things were better after the first lockdown, I took my kid to the zoo. It was really great watch him see all those animals live for the first time.

For the second question, one of my fond memories is going to Algarve (south of Portugal) with my parents and then going to a water park for the first time. At first I was a bit scared of the slides, but soon after I was having some much fun. Also, when I got to bed that night, I closed my eyes and felt like I was still sliding. Good times.

Thank you very much for your continued generosity. However, I'm not in. I wouldn't have any use for store credit, since I'm not buying games here anymore and I already own Shadow Man.

But still I'll share some positive memories:
From the recent past, there are lots of good memories. Most of them concern my girlfriend and her family. Thanks to her, the past year has been blessed for me, in spite of the pandemic. But outside of that circle another good moment was, when one of my best friends revealed, that he will finally marry his long-time boyfriend this summer. I just hope that we'll be allowed to celebrate by then.

From my childhood a very good memory is, when my Grandfather gave me an astronomy-telescope and we started looking at the stars together. That moment set me on the path towards astronomy and physics and so this gift hat quite a big influence on my life.

Np

Ah zoos.....such fond memories of mine as wel.
(I like the sea lions and otters, and other animals too)

Sort of like this scene from Bill and Ted, then? :D

Also yer entered....now we wait and see what we shall see, eh?

-


Family and friends...they make life special.

I also have an interest in space....such a fascinating subject.

Btw, as always, thanks for sharing with us. :)
