thejimz: Hey everyone! This is my first thread and my first proper giveaway, so I hope I do it right. I have a small selection of games, some good and some mediocre, for your consideration:

Tier 1:

Knytt Underground (Steam)

X-COM: UFO Defense (Steam)

X-COM: Interceptor (Steam)

X-COM: Enforcer (Steam)

Paper Sorcerer (Steam)

Lucius (Steam)

Tier 2:

Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising (Steam)

Dot.Stop.Run, 5 keys (Desura)

Glacier 3: The Meltdown (Steam)

IDRQ, 3 keys (Desura)

Hyper Fighters (Steam)

Here are the rules:

1. 25+ rep to enter for Tier 1, 5+ rep to enter for Tier 2.

2. Join date of May 2015 or earlier.

3. You must not be on the known scammers list.

4. You can enter for 2 games in Tier 1 and 3 in Tier 2. Random.org influences my decision when more than one person enters for the same game, unless I have multiple keys of that game (Dot.Stop, IDRQ).

5. Post one of your favorite hip hop tracks and tell me why you like it! Instrumental hip hop (DJ Shadow, J Dilla, etc.) is 100% allowed.

Winners will be announced August 8. Good luck!

(Thanks to Treasure for Paper Sorcerer, Snowkatt for Lucius and Momo1991 for the Desura copy of Knytt Underground that gave me a Steam key.)

I'm not too into Hip Hop. Beastie Boys would be about it for me.

Any particular Beastie Boys track you'd like to highlight? Are you more of a Paul's Boutique fan or an Ill Communication fan? Thanks for entering!

what about license to ill fight for your right? or later stuff like the five boroughs?

ThePunishedSnake: Thanks a lot, I'm in for Paper Sorcer :)

thejimz: Sure thing, but do you have any favorite hip hop tracks you'd like to post? I can waive the requirement if you don't like hip hop at all, but I'd prefer to follow the rules as I set them down in the lead post. Thanks for entering!
I didn't post a hip hope track just because I know exactly NOTHING about hip hop. It's not a music genre I follow, so I choose to not post nothing. I've should clarify that, maybe, thanks for pointing that out :)

License to Ill is probably my favorite Beastie Boys album. I have three Beastie Boys tracks on my phone:

Rhymin and Stealing
(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right
No Sleep Till Brooklyn

The song is inspired by old school Hip-Hop, but it's New Wave / Punk Rock, and one of their best songs.

Hip-Hop itself is a cultural movement, and it's a combination of funk, rap music, DJ techniques (sampling, pre-recording, scratching) and breakdancing.  Hip-Hop, Punk and New Wave share the same roots:

That works! I don't want to exclude anyone just because they don't like the genre. :)

Nice! Definitely a legendary album. Good luck in the random draw--Lucius is starting to become a contested field!

I've shaved four days off the countdown. The winners will now be announced on August 4, rather than August 8.

Awesome! :)
Afternoon bump. I'm sure most of the regular GOGers have seen the thread by now, but it's worth a shot.
