Octopus Overlords

Well, it sort of has been a tradition for me to start this up the last few years, so here I am again. It's that time of the year for our annual Christmas/Wishmas giving. Here's the Google Doc list from last year:

Christmas/Wishmaslist

Please post if you are participating and I will list everyone participating here. I'll start with myself.

Im in. I'll clean up my WaitList on IsThereAnyDeal tonight and post it in the doc.

DO NOT use my Steam wishlist as a guide. I just stick stuff on it to remind me about gaming Im interested in and to keep as a memory/history list of when I was interested in what.

+1

(hope we can get to at least the same number as last year - 12)

I’m in! I always enjoy giving!

I will have to wait and see over the next week or two. Some things have cropped up that might make it a problem.

Looking forward to it. But as usual I have to wait until after the 3d of Dec to add the money to Steam.

I also cleaned up my Waitlist at Isthereanydeal and added some new stuff to it. I didn't add it just to ad now to get but my list was puny there as Id gotten a lot of the stuff I had wanton it over this year thanks to a little more money and I wanted to put some cheaper stuff on it too as well as for more normal priced stuff $20 and under or so.

Of course I'm ...

IN.

Between Helene and the new business, it'll probably be mid-December before I'm truly in.... but I'm in.

Haven't been around much this year, but I'm in.

Ok, I’ve added everyone’s name to the original posting listing everyone through JetFred today.

After a 2 year break I'll be back into it this year. My details have changed a little as i've got a new account and gave my old one to my son as he's 19 now i'm sick of fighting for steam access I've added me to a 2024 sheet, hope that's ok.

I think you are already on it on one of the hidden rows. I just hid people that didn’t participate in case they wxntedvyo in a later year. You just need to find your name.

I have to pull out of this this year guys. Ive fucked up my bank balance big time and I could lose my checking account if I dont find some money fast to put into it. Sorry guys...I was looking forward to this,,,,guess this Dec will be one of those soup line ones.

plz remove me from the original post ..thnx..

X-mas Sale starts 12/19

Last call to be included! Add your name here and on the list now!

Oh, fine. Count me in. I'll have to add my list later.

Xmas Steam Sale starts the same day i go on vacation wheeee (and i think coincidentally, it ends when i end vacation)

Ok, I have updated the spreadsheet with everyone's data for the big sale tomorrow. Merry Christmas and happy hunting!

Your links on the spreadsheet don't work. I don't know if I messed them up in transferring them to the new year or what, but they don't work. Please go in and update the spreadsheet with the correct links to your wishlists. Thanks!

and i guess i am the first -

Спасибо Grifman за Атомное Сердце (Atomic Heart)! i am finally going to put my last 2 1/2 years of self-taught Russian language to work here. (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 had the Russian language dialog removed and replaced with native Ukrainian, which i am totally for)

Thanks Grif for Hardspace Shipbreaker!

Thanks Grif for Crimson Diamond. Growing up in the 80s, I loved those EGA Sierra adventure games, so hopefully this scratches that nostalgia itch.

Such an awesome game.

Thanks to Hitbyambulance for Talos Principle II, and to Grifman as well. I declined the one that showed up second, but the appreciation remains.

I was planning on doing more shopping, but all Steam wishlists are telling me that I've made too many requests. Trying a VPN + a private window still gives the error, so I'm guessing it's a Steam server hiccup.

Thanks to Grifman & Stefan for Relic Space & Death Must Die

Thanks Grifman for Hardspace Shipbreaker! Time to recycle!

Thank you to Suitably Ironic Moniker for the Deadspace remake.

And thanks to Stefan Stirzaker for Old World!

thank you Lassr for Doomsday Hunters! and i forgot to bring my gamepad on vacation… i will work something out….

I got that error yesterday when the sale started

I'll pitch in on this one! I owe everyone for getting my Steam account hacked this year.

Edit: Shoot, I missed last call. Hope I can be in anyway.

De nada! It's my favorite Katamari game myself. I just plug in my PS4 controller and I'm good to go.
