It’s the middle of August. It’s been a pretty nice summer. Years ago, I would have spent it playing ball and hanging around on my stoop (I’m told that “stoop hanging" is strictly a New Yorker thing and makes no sense to other people). But now? Five days out of the week, I sit in an office building for the majority of the daylight hours. There is very little variation; it’s as if my days are on a narrative loop, repeating itself over and over again. Sometimes I wonder if my name is actually Stanley.
If you haven't guessed from my minor existential crisis (or, you know, the thread title), this week’s giveaway features The Stanley Parable! We’ve got five (5) copies to give away and like usual, contest entry is pretty simple: just participate in this week’s discussion!
This week, we really want your feedback and opinions on our weekly giveaways. We’ve been running these for a few months now and we want to know what you all think of it so far. Is there any part of it that you don’t like or think could use improvements? Maybe you don’t like the random nature of how winners are chosen, or maybe you think things are too easy and would like something more interesting than discussion threads. Heck, maybe having one every week is taking away the thrill of it, and you want us to do this less often! Whatever it is, we want to know so that we can make this better for you, because after all, it is all for you, our wonderful Tom's community members
Personally, from my perspective running these, I prefer doing more interesting contests. Drawing the Witcher’s Medallion, challenging people to beat me at Snake, having people create prisoner bios—these were some of my favorites. But doing this every week and keeping it accessible to everybody makes it difficult to keep things fresh every week, and that’s why we’ve had so many discussion-oriented giveaways lately. I don’t really mind that since everybody has such interesting things to say usually, but it’d be great to hear what you all think about how we should proceed in the future.
Contest will run until 12 PM EDT on Friday, August 21st. That’s 12:00 noon. Winners will receive their prize via Steam gifts; a Steam account is required to receive and to play the game. One entry per user. Attempts to cheat the system will result in automatic disqualification.
Be sure to join our Steam group! The group is nearing 1,000 members, and we’ve got a great surprise planned for that, so help us reach that goal faster by inviting your friends!
We’re actively looking for volunteers to write community reviews for games, so if you’re interested, please reach out to me for more details.
