***Giveaway Closed! Winners are drawn and and keys have been sent! Congrats to all winners, enjoy your games!***

*** Edit: Wizardry VIII added due to courtesy of Gnostic! Give him +1s and of course you may edit your posts! ***

Dear friends,

starting with May 1st I quit my current job and move on to something new. I want to celebrate this with a small giveaway and hope you like my gifts - even though a lot of you are enraged when it comes to Steam at the moment. Just remember - you don't pay GabeN, it's only about games!
But for those who want to join the DRM-free-revolution I also included some GOG-goodies!

So, now the rules:

- State that you're in!
- Tell me which games you'd like. You may enter for more than one game, but only one game per winner!
- No special date (as I want to welcome the new users coming from Steam) or rep-limit!
- You may enter for others, but no re-gifting!
- I don't guarantee all keys are functional - I just hope the very best :D

Telling me what's awesome in your job (or a job you had before) may give you an extra chance to win if it makes me smile. That's completely my personal decision ;)

I will close this sometime in the first week of May - whenever I find time for it. Until I state it's closed, new entries are accepted.

Maybe I forgot any rules I wanted to apply, so I may edit this at any time :D

So, now for the important thing: The GAMES

Steam- and Steam-HB-Keys:
- Tropico 4 (Winner: piapancudo)
- Batman: Arkham Asylum (Winner: Rievier)
- Civilization IV Complete (Winner: DracoMagister)
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut (Winner: Hardrada)
- Dragon Age: Origins (Winner: BranjoHello)
- Mass Effect 2 (Winner: nicohvc)
- Spec Ops: The Line (gifted by the faboulous EITerprise, give him +1s wherever you see him!) (Winner: FireKnight)

DRM-free-GOG-awesomeness!!!
- Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga (Winner: RenKalan)
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (Winner: briareoushex)
- The Last Express (Winner: RadonGOG)
- Wizardry VIII (gifted by the one and only Gnostic, give him +1s and kudos!) (Winner: park_84)

Enjoy!

What reason did I provide? And why do you need a reason? ;)

Edit: Oh, I see, you're celebrating :D

Not in, but congrats. What's awesome about my job is that I work with Open Source software and almost every day I learn something new. And I have a great boss and great colleagues. The pay would certainly better if I'd be willing to move in a western country (I'm in Eastern Europe), but hey you can't have everything, where would you put it.

How nice of you! I hope this new milestone in your life pans out the you wish. Best luck for your new job!

I'm in for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis! (Alternatively, for The Last Express.)

My last job was at a university. It had cute girls and cheap food (some times free food).

Thank you for your generosity.
My last job was awesome because my coworkers were all pretty cool and they made a should-be-shitty-job into a not-so-shitty-job.

Congrats about the new job. I'm starting a new one myself at the start of June.

Update: Actually, I'm withdrawing my entry. Even after the paid mods protest has ended, I'm just not using steam for now.
But still, congrats on the new job, and good luck to all the other contestants.

I'm in for Batman or the Last Express.

Very happy for you in your new job! I clicked on this thread, mostly because it caught my eye because I am out of work right now. I am interviewing and really hope to get back to work soon. : P Its a bummer being on "vacation" so long. Anyway, I hope you really enjoy your new employment.

I had a previous job where I was a law clerk for a trial judge. I basically wrote opinions in criminal cases. I loved my judge, she was great, and got to work on some very interesting constitutional issues. Being (justifiably) proud of what you do and loving the people you work with/for is really everything that makes a job worth it, I think. Hoping to get a job as a prosecutor or defense attorney in the near future. ; ) Wish me luck.
Hi!

Is always great to have a new job, isn't? At least the first months hahaha. I personally have never been in a paid job because I still in the study schedule. Due I am in last university year (Finally!) I do have a "job", but the social community one were I don't get paid. I am doing it in a private social assistance center.

I think the cool part of my "job" is that it is arrange by a private company, were the State assistance is no needed, breaking the myth that only the State can sustain free social labors.

Anyway, I want to be in for: (Preference order)
1. Indiana Jones
2. Batman AA

Thanks both for making this GA and for the games. Best wishes in this weekend. Cheers!
