Since last week’s giveaway was so popular, I decided that another contest was in order.
The only catch this week? The contest ends at 10 P.M. Eastern on Wednesday August 11th (because the game is released the next day).
Up for grabs this week:
One Steam copy of Puzzle Quest 2!

It’s 1977. I’m 12 years old. It’s a gorgeous Northern BC summer day, one of those glorious fleeting perfect days that are all the sweeter in the frozen north, because the memories of mud and slush barely fade before the leaves have already begun to turn again. Utterly pure blue sky, sun warm on the skin, grass a deep impatient green, a light breeze off the lake that is so invigoratingly packed with oxygen and piney perfume it might as well be cocaine. I’m playing third base, it’s what we’d call little league if we called it that in Canada back then, I’m just beginning to feel the awkwardness of adolescence, but the sheer pleasure of being alive and standing on that dirt under that gigantic bowl of sky on that day is more than enough to let me ignore my self-consciousness. I’m a big, strong kid, and even if I’m more bookworm than jock, I enjoy sports.
We return after holidays, work, and the inevitable technical breakdowns, but we persevere to bring you another podcast! This week, we discuss the impossible: Minecraft goes 1.0, the unfortunate: GSC Game Studios and GamePro fold, and the stupid: EA continues their über-ban policy, parents name their kid after a character in Skyrim, Telltale gets caught [...]
Making video game characters with whom I can fall in love takes a cocktail of hard work, genius, luck and Jennifer Hale. It turns out that making video game characters I can hate takes practically no effort at all. In this short series of articles a small collection of pixels, logic and random events will [...]
To get myself back in the groove, I will make this short and (hopefully) sweet. I have 3 Steam copies of Worms Reloaded to give away. All you have to do is comment below, and I will randomly pick 3 winners. No stories needed! I will pick the winners Thursday night, and announce them sometime [...]
Well, hell, it’s been a long time. I’m sorry for the disruption in service. To make up for it, I’m giving away 2 copies of Portal 2. You might have heard of Portal, it helped launch the Orange box, made TF2 a household name (at least in my circle of friends) So, here is the [...]

Nattie – a long-time WOW player – lays out precisely and in depth why RealID is such a bad idea, especially for women and minorities. In case you think Nattie’s fears are overblown, here’s where Ryan Erickson challenges people to find out more details about him with just his name, with fairly predictable results. A [...]
I’ve played through a few hours of Raven’s everything-old-is-new again First Person Thing, Singularity. I am now prepared to tell you exactly what you need to know about it. Q: Is it pretty? A: Yes, it is quite pretty, with the kind of predictable Unreal Engine prettiness that we — or me at least — [...]
This is the story of three cynical, greedy gaming cashgrabs. It is a story of bad design decisions, terrible PR and expectation management, treating customers with contempt, and ample lashings of just plain stupidity. In it, we learn what not to do, how not to do it, and we lose faith in at least one [...]
