Resident Evil 5 Steam Gift Giveaway! COMPLETED!

So as I am sure everybody knows by now, the next Resident Evil game in the main series, Resident Evil 6, is due out on October 2 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and on November 25 for the PC. With the giraffe-getting-a-blowjob-logo game right around the corner, I'm sure there's plenty of people looking to get their hands on Resident Evil 5 beforehand, to get prepped for 6.

So, here's my part to help everyone get in on the Resident Evil fun, even if they can't afford it. As promotion for my site (and because I love you guys), I will be giving away a copy of Resident Evil 5 (PC) as Steam gifts to each of the three lucky winners of this giveaway!

This is for EVERYBODY. All you have to do is comment in this post (it may take up to a couple hours for comments to be approved, but it will be added)! Of course, there is also the small stipulation that you must include your Steam username, so that we can contact you to give the gift. A little flattery wouldn't hurt, either. ;D

However, there are some rules to follow. Do not post more than once to "improve" your odds -- anyone found to be commenting his/her Steam username more than once will be disqualified. In the case that you forget to add your username in your first post, you can add a second one with the username and a brief explanation of the second post. Only the username'd post will be counted.

IMPORTANT: Only Steam usernames that are at least 2 months old will be considered. This is to prevent cheating.

Giveaway ends at 6:00 PM PST (Pacific Standard) on Sept. 30, 2012. It is currently COMPLETED!

If you have any questions, I am available at randall_a on reddit. Thanks for reading!

Gundam!

For those of you who are already aware of what Gundam is (probably college-student nerds much like myself, I suspect), just skip the following description and go straight to the high definition Gundam wallpapers below.

For those of you who are unaware of what Gundam is exactly, read the rest of this post for a brief summary of the book, television, and film series (hint: it has a ton of giant, flying robots in it!) from Wikipedia:

"The Gundam Series (ガンダムシリーズ Gandamu Shirīzu^?) is a metaseries of anime created by Sunrise studios that features giant robots (or "mecha") called "Mobile Suits" (MS); usually the protagonist's MS will carry the name Gundam.

The metaseries started on April 7, 1979, as a serial TV show called Mobile Suit Gundam. That first TV series has since spawned a franchise that has come to include works released in numerous media. 

Titles have appeared in the form of multiple television series and OVAs, movies, manga, novels and video games, among other modes. The story from the original 1979 series has been considerably extended with sequels, prequels, side stories and alternate timelines. 

As a result, the title Gundam has become a collective term for the seven distinct but related timelines that can be pieced together from the stories that appear in the Gundam franchise. Generally speaking, the timelines do not intersect, but they do contain a few common elements such as the titular war machines called Gundam. 

However, all Gundam timelines and worlds, long after their own anime series, do eventually intersect and combine in the series Turn A Gundam.^"
