Title: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on January 07, 2013, 12:17:45 PM
Steam Games Giveaways Information:

All our games giveaways will be run through steamgifts.com (http://www.steamgifts.com) as it's the easiest way for us to make sure the process is fair and simple to everybody.
It is in your interest to check out steamgifts.com (http://www.steamgifts.com) as soon as possible because you'll need to accumulate some points to participate in our (and others) giveaways. More information about their points system on their site.

NEW RULES:
We will now run two separate giveaways at the same time, meaning we will always give at least 2 copies of the same game. One giveaway will be open to our public steam group members and one will be restricted to our private steam group (Verified Members and ex/current Donors). VMs and Donors can participate in both giveaways (if they have the required points), but on the rare occasion that one person wins both, a new winner will be picked for the public drawing.

This system gives a higher chance to win to our regulars and donors, without alienating our public steam group members. Keep in mind that becoming a Verified Member is completely free, so there's another reason to join!

This week's giveaway is: **CLOSED**

For HyperionGaming.org public (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/hyperiongaming) members
Head over to: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/IP8ov/state-of-decay/ (http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/IP8ov/state-of-decay/) to enter.

For HyperionGaming.org private (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/hgplus) members
Head over to: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/0RXhC/state-of-decay/ (http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/0RXhC/state-of-decay/) to enter.

(Ends: Nov 18th, 2014 06:00 pm PST)

Good luck!  ;)

If you haven't already, register on steamgifts as soon as possible! Don't put it off! You automatically receive points each day which you need to enter giveaways, but you can only get points if you're registered!
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on January 09, 2013, 10:57:23 AM
Yes, that's unfortunately how the system works.
You need to join steamgifts.com ASAP (just sign in through Steam) and get points every day. To enter a giveaway you need to spend some points.

thanks cirno. I tried again this morning and it works, but I will not be entering this contest as I already have the game  :)

Post by: Plasma on January 10, 2013, 09:18:39 AM
Haha. Well that's alright. We start a new one every two weeks, every week when possible. But which games would you like to see on the giveaway? I can't promise we'll do it, but but we'll try.
First giveaway ends soon.

Shogun 2 is 22.8 GB, it doesn't get much bigger than that.

Ah! Well, there's no dollar amount. These are just extras on top of monthly costs. If you'd like to see a game on the giveaway, just say so. It doesn't mean it will be the next prize, but it might appear later down the line. Basically, right now, we have a bunch of games. Once we don't have any left, we'll buy more :)

so what is preventing admins from participating in this? :P
Hmm, that's true. What is preventing admins (except Dave and I)? You guys were VMs/Donors too at some point...  ;) (iShank already beat you to it)

Yea, it's not ideal, but it's a lot easier for us to manage, difficult to cheat and it's more convenient since everything is done through Steam. Now, I'm not sure what's the best way to let you guys know about new giveaways. I don't like spamming steam group announcements and sending mass-emails.
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on January 15, 2013, 02:05:48 PM
Ah woops!
I'm sorry guys, I promised a giveaway for Monday, and I completely forgot to post it.

This time, it will be open for 2 weeks and to everyone in our Public steamgroup. We'll have multiple copies available to maximize your chances. More info very soon.

EDIT:
Link to the new giveaway is in the first post. Check it out!

Post by: Plasma on January 25, 2013, 01:03:35 AM
Two days left to enter for a chance to win a copy of Trine 2! It's a really good game.

And stay tuned for next week's game :) Also, check out Fernplant's giveaway on our forums for a chance to win one month of Donor membership!

I wouldn't have the slightest clue what my password is for my Steam account as it automatically logs on when i open the programme. I could track down the password via e-mail, but hey its winter where you are right, you need the games more than me considering your all locked inside away from the winter breezes, while im stuck outside due to the humid forcing me outdoors lolz xD

I'll wait for another day, another game, cheerio!  :D

Post by: Plasma on January 27, 2013, 08:04:27 PM
And the Trine 2 giveaway is over! Check your emails if you entered at steamgifts.com, you might have won!
Make sure to confirm you received the game on their website as well, so that we can post new giveaways :)

Oh, and stay tuned for a new giveaway later next week.

This time, you can win a trip to the Sprawl. Enjoy it's shopping centers, incredible view and accommodations, but above all, make sure to visit its unique Unitology Church. Their catacombs are splendid...

>>>>>>>>>>> Waw, Dead Space 2 is PHAT! im in for that! (just between me and the members) what you send is what you shall recieve, keep up the good work hyperion obviously these admins are no hoax this stuff is for real All-in for Steam All-in for TF2 All-in for maximum gaming experience! <<<<<<<<<

What i tried posting in 'shoutout' which is restricted for members ONLY!

No hoax here Dead Space 2 is worth 69.99$USD previous gave have been 'given' away without charge... But this game is just insane and awesome to play (tbh Ive only seen youtube.com footage of it)

Personally i HAVE NOT donated to this Free To Play game 'TF2' but farrrrrk with such a small community as >> http://www.hyperiongaming.org/ (http://www.hyperiongaming.org/) << i would seriously consider on keeping these promotions to yourself, at least $5 a month could give you,,,, (predicted) a 75% chance of winning a 7o$ game + reserved slots in hyperion game servers, or even if your a registered member your in for the grab!

Mate nuff said ae, i come from the land of the long white could, New Zealand and these guys? Yeah, Nah, Bro ill support them even when im having a break from TF2 lolz, let you $5 go to them, and in return who knows what you will get, durrp free games, is that you? Hell yeas that me lol.

Tell a freind but not all gives YOU more chance, btw ill post on who won the game as im no admin here, acctually ill post on this forum who won the game + a screen shot of there profile (as you can see if your a member to hyperion community if you are registered) of who won the game (as its a lotto pick anyone wins! but donators have the slighter 'more' chance in my opinion  :P

If your reading this, check out my previous posts, call me a troll, call me challenged, call me pro or just call me Gosu i am no fake, lets see if these guys are a fake!

Good donations = Good Free give away games = Good day sir.

Peace out! from New Zealand

And here we go again!
This is probably one of the best game giveaways we've done so far. You guys can enter to win four (yes, 4) copies of Borderlands 2! It will be live very shortly, just check the OP.

It will be a bit different this time: I'll be emailing a Steam code to activate the game to the winners. Make sure your email address on steamgifts.com is valid! I will first contact you by email, and you must reply to receive your key. Failing to do so, I'll have to redraw and pick another winner!

Don't miss this one guys! Good luck!
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on June 29, 2013, 07:39:09 PM
Our Borderlands 2 big giveaway is now closed. I've sent an email to the 4 winners, and I just need to receive a reply from each of them before I send them their steam code. Congratulations!
I'm very happy so many of you participated this time around, and I hope more and more will join us for future giveaways...

Oh yeah! Another giveaway will be ready in a few days! More information will be posted in this thread and on the steam groups! See you guys soon!

Who won last round? I don't recognize their names :( I wish it showed steam names.
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on July 14, 2013, 11:21:05 AM
You can click their names on after the giveaway is over. Then it will show your their SteamGifts profile, and there's a link to their Steam account. In the BL2's case, the winners were all members of our public Steam group, which means they played on our servers for a while.

In the future though, I'll try to do more private giveaways, restricted to VMs and Donors. ;)
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on July 14, 2013, 06:25:54 PM
Our Serious Sam giveaway is now over.
Congratulations to the winners!

There won't be a new Steamgift giveaway this week. Make sure to keep looking at our website and steam group for a special event... coming very soon. ;)
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on August 01, 2013, 11:19:37 PM
Now that the Summer 2013 Giveaway is over, we'll be resuming our weekly Steamgifts.com game giveaways!
Make sure to visit this thread this weekend for a chance to win more games! :)
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on August 15, 2013, 12:32:25 PM
And we're back! Finally...
There was some delay after our Summer Giveaway, but we have a brand new steamgift giveaway ready.

There's more actually. From now on, we will run two separate giveaways at the same time. They will offer the same game, but one giveaway will be open to our public steam group and the other restricted to our private group. VMs and Donors can participate in both drawings, increasing their chances to win! Make sure to read our new rules in the OP in this thread.

If you have any questions regarding the updated rules, please post them here.

This week, you guys can win a copy of RAGE.
For VMs and Donors, click HERE (http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/8wfZI/rage)
For everybody else, click HERE (http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/qrQxj/rage)

Post by: Plasma on August 26, 2013, 09:12:01 PM
New giveaway featuring everyone's favorite assassin... Assassin's Cre.. I mean Hitman!

Remember, if you're a VM or a Donor, you can participate to both the public and private giveaways! 2x to win, 2x the awesome!

The giveaway starts on Tuesday at 6PM PST!
Good luck!

Congratulations to the Hitman: Absolution winners!

Our next giveaway will begin on Monday even though you didn't ask for it.
Don't miss it!

Tip: Verified Members, ex and current Donors have a higher probability to win when entering our Private giveaways! Last week, each participant had around 9% chance to win compared to 2% for Public giveaway participants. Just a thought ;)
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: ApatheticMango on September 08, 2013, 12:28:35 AM
How many copies are given away for each group? I won 2 in a row. Scared my luck for the rest of my life is gone. Thanks though :D
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on September 08, 2013, 12:34:48 AM
It depends really, but usually one copy for each group. There are more people that can participate in the Public giveaway, so obviously it's harder to win.

For VMs (it's free to join, remember!) and ex/current Donors, they can participate to both the Private giveaway and the Public one, increasing their chances to win once more! (Obviously, a VM/Donor can't win both giveaways at the same time; a new winner will be requested for the public giveaway, it shouldn't happen often though).

As for your luck, ApatheticMango, each drawing is completely independent from the previous ones, so you still have the same probability to win the next giveaway if there are still 11 participants for the private giveaway. But who cares about stats (except K/D and HeadShots ratios)... congratulations and I hope you enjoy the game.

Make sure to enter for the next one on Monday!
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com

This time, we're giving away 2 copies of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die! Good luck!
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Falconeer on October 02, 2013, 11:32:13 AM
Entered!  Of COURSE I need something else in my life to aggravate me....  :D
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on October 02, 2013, 12:03:58 PM
Haha, I have the first one, Demon Souls on my PS3... and I think I got through 3/4 of the game. I never completed it though. At some point, I had to take a break, and when I finally had time to finish the game, too much time had passed, and I was lost.

Same thing happened with Dark Souls. I bought the game on release day for my PS3, got through almost half way. Then I got too busy to play... Finally, they decide to release the game on PC, so I buy it again, thinking it might be easier to finish the game on PC (somehow...). Obviously that meant starting from scratch. I figured since I already knew the game pretty well, it would be easy. Well, while it's definitely easier, it still requires a lot of time to beat this game.

To make things worse, Dark Souls 2 is coming out next year. I don't know if I will ever finish one of these games lol. It's a shame too, because they're really cool and tense. I guess I just don't have time to invest in these types of games anymore.

Large RPGs like the Witcher or Dragon Age... you can save at any point, and come back to it maybe 3 months later. It'll be fine. Dark Souls? It's like TF2. The longer you stop playing, the harder it will be to get back in the game.

Anybody beat Demon Souls/Dark Souls here?
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Falconeer on October 04, 2013, 10:59:56 AM
I have Demon's Souls on PS3 (free through PSN) and Dark Souls on XBox.  I haven't played Demon's Souls, but I did try Dark Souls and got exactly jack-shit done.... I haven't even finished the first boss. :p

BTW, I didn't even think of having it on XBox, so feel free to remove my entries if appropriate.

Sorry for the delay, but as promised, here's our next giveaway!
2 Copies of Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition! If you're a member of private steam group, don't forget to enter both giveaways to increase your chances to win!

Good luck everybody! :)

I liked this game a lot. Not enough to replay it though. I remember some Riddler trophies were annoying as hell.

I was really happy when they removed the GFWL both for Bioshock and Batman Arkham Series as previously it was region locked in my country so I wasn't able to purchase them.
Title: Re: Steam Games Giveaway over at steamgifts.com
Post by: Plasma on October 21, 2013, 04:08:50 PM
Yea, this is great. I'm really glad GfWL is dead. Such a #!@@ product from Microsoft.
How many save files have I lost because of that DRM? Btw, if you already owned Batman games and got upgraded on Steam to the GOTY versions, you can actually recover your GfWL save files. Simply need to edit the save file in an hex editor. The how-to is on the steam forums, and it works.

Congratulations to this week's giveaway winners!
I hope you two save the day in Gotham. And then you're ready to try the new Batman: Arkham Origins ;)
Note: Arkham Origins is a bit disappointing compared to the other two games, sadly.

For everybody else, we'll have a new steamgift giveaway in a few days; I haven't selected which game yet.

why do i get "Your account could not be verified." error? Then it says "Error: We require all registered users to have at least $100.00 worth of games associated with their Steam account. This is to prevent users from creating multiple Steam accounts for use on this site, which might result in cheating. Games which were previously available in bundles are excluded from this calculation. Currently your account is valued at $29.99."

Well, you need to have enough games in your Steam library to participate. It's too prevent people from making lots of Steam accounts to try to increase their chances to win these giveaways.
It seems now they're not counting games from bundles though, maybe that's why you can't participate anymore. $100 is basically 2 AAA games retailing at $50.

You also need to set your Steam profile to Public in your privacy settings to let Steamgifts.com scan your games library. After it's done, you can set it back to Private if you want.

Coulda sworn it was less than 100 bucks. I'm not sure how I made it then, since the majority of my games were from Bundles.

Well that doesnt make sense. I thought gifts and other giveaways were mostly for people who oh so dearly want  that prize because they can't buy it or what it so badly. And if you have 100+ dollars worth of games, then i think people with a small amount of games in their libraries deserve it more :P These restrictions are counter-productive, but oh well, what can i do?   :( They could of taken an alternate route like achievements or steam level. I bet you those things are way harder to get than 2 lousy AAA games which prevents users just making a bunch of accounts.

If you think about it $100 for games isn't really all that much. I was looking at mine and I have 45 games but like mine hits $100 just with the $60 i paid for Bad Company 2 and the original $40 i paid for the orange box. That is assuming they go by what you paid for it rather then current game value.

A bit late for the Halloween spirit, but a new giveaway just launched a few minutes ago for State of Decay, the open world Zombie survival game. Make sure to check the first post for the Steamgifts.com links! Good luck!

Bonus Round:
I have 4 extra copies of Risk of Rain to giveaway. Since I already did a steamgifts giveaway for Risk of Rain, I'll do a quick one on our private steam group page. If you're a VM or a current/ex donor, you should already be in the private Steam group.

Here's the link to the thread: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/hgplus/discussions/0/613940478014723346/
Make sure to read the instructions in the post (mainly, post only once please to participate). Deadline to enter is November 6th at 6 PM PST!


Good luck!

EDIT:
Haha, well, nobody replied, so I guess it's not going to work. Maybe I should do that giveaway here on these boards. Or, everybody already have Risk of Rain now. :)

Sent you a PM Eraserpie!

The next 3 VM/Donor to post will get a copy of Risk of Rain!

I might do more of these quick Steam games giveaways in the future :)
