Xelios has a Simba avatar and earlier did a giveway with over 100 keys, then JaseC did the one with 200+ keys. The girl dancing is Saoirse Ronan who is his avatar.

sorry! i just heard good things about it
It's no biggie, you were faster than me, way too fast. Enjoy the game
And all 300 will be bad rats. The first two giveaways were just part of the long game, the setup for the joke.

Starting next week.
That would be the Autumn sale next week.
So how does Modbot work anyway? At first I thought it was just a mod but I've seen it post before. Someone explain plox.

11/22. Never forget. RIP Modbot and JFK.
You just need to do one more than JaseC. Price is Right agrees with me.

Thanks JaceC. Found a game I already did not own and plan to play.
Modbot is Legion. He is all and everyone (who happens to be a mod). He also does giveaways to quell the angered masses during times of conflict, i.e. console wars.

So just like JaseC.
No, the first AC was much better than its sequels.

Please don't flame me here, I'm not trying to backseat moderate or anything but this probably is going to be an unpopular opinion but; I'm starting to think these giveaways need their own threads.
Don't get me wrong, I think they are marvelous, there's a ton of very generous people here and it's a damn fine example of why PC / Steam gaming is the best, but I feel like the purpose of this thread, annoucements and updates is starting to get lost a bit. While it's still a thread dedicated to important information, updates, new games, sales, games removed but recently these giveaways are becoming more and more prevalent and have almost started superceding its purpose. I get the impression that modbot was set up to simplify the process, to have less people derailing the thread with trade shoutouts and the inevitable empty replies "there's a thread for that *link"" but it seems to have simply ended up replacing it.
Every giveaway that pops up spawns at least 3 "empty posts" , the inital "great giveaway" posts from numerous people, then the "thanks for game X!" followed by the "well done, hope you enjoy it". This massive JaseC giveaway of 200+ games will inevitably spawn 200+ posts alone, that's 2+ pages of relatively unimportant posts to parse through in order to see if any actual important news has shown up (not a dig at JaseC btw, just an example, the giveaway is god tier and I salute you sir)
Anyways, my point here is just that trading threads are set up to pool these kinds of things, I think it's starting to reach a critical point where these steam giveaways need their own thread to breathe effectively. These steam threads already move fast enough without these countless giveaways pumping up the post counts even faster.
I hope this comes across as simply a reasonable concern and doesn't sound like me going "omg i want this changed now" which isn't the case, I know many people have different expections from these threads now and these giveaways certainly build a stronger community. If I'm off base and everyone is happy with how things are I'm fine with that, but I figured I might as well just bring it up anyways.
