*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!

January winners? Coming Soon...
Publisher Thunderful Games and developer Image & Form Games have released a “gameplay deep dive” trailer for turn-based RPG sequel SteamWorld Heist II.
SW: Heist was the first game in the series I played actually so I'm very excited to play this.
Enjoy the latest cinematic trailer for Serum, the upcoming first-person survival adventure game that will launch into Steam Early Access on May 23. The titular serum is both a weapon and a hazard in what developer Game Island calls "an exciting narrative of conspiracy, cover-up, and scientific negligence.
Drive to Diamond is on the move, and welcome to Future City.
I'm so going to win the $300 Amazon card.
*crosses fingers*
I'm really hoping I won something in January. The amount of money I have to spend in February is crazy!
Well my chances of winning anything in January disappeared when my power was out for a few days... Maybe February...
Damn, I had a great idea for a blog, too. Guess I'll do that in march, then.
When I won the forum lottery it was a twenty dollar psn/xbl card.
