Vito's Game Giveaway #18! Two More Games + Bonus Portal Contest! Winners
Congratulations to The_Laughing_Man and ESREVER for winning X-COM: UFO Defense (donated by Vito_Raliffe and ArbitraryWater)! Out of 34 contestants,  their usernames were the ones Random Line Picker chose! There was a small mishap with the winner selection process, so they both got copies!

Congratulations to Fontan for winning Portal (donated by rebgav)! Out of 5 contestants, their username was the one Random Line Picker chose!


STUFF YOU SHOULD READ
Follow me on here for the latest updates on contests!

The "How to Play" bit is now the image caption for the header.
I've received my twelfth donation! Thanks to rentfn for donating his Steam Gift copies of   AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!: A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Audiosurf, and Toki Tori!

I've received my thirteenth donation! Thanks to rebgav for donating his Steam Gift copy of DiRT 2!

Because I have three copies of Audiosurf, I've decided to host a separate Audiosurf contest. Everyone that says they want Audiosurf will be grouped separately into Random Line Picker and a winner be chosen as normal.

Any Steam winners will be eligible to win a three-day guest pass for Monday Night Combat, courtesy of crusader8463. It's awesome.
When the "Past Winners" section reaches 20 people I'm going to make a separate blog post to link to for them and start fresh with winner #21.


Vito's Game Giveaway #20
To celebrate 20 consecutive weeks of the Giant Bomb community giving away video games, I am giving away 1600 Microsoft Points (U.S. only) on the May 30th contest. For this contest only, anyone that "Like"s this Facebook page and comments on the related post (coming on the 30th) will get one additional entry into the contest. It's simply a page where I link my Giant Bomb blogs. Read the "Facebook" section on the disclaimer for more details.

In the future, I will give away prizes of similar value for other platforms and will look to expanding it to international users. I wanted to keep it simple for this first time, though. There are some sites out there that sell points cards for international accounts, but I need to make sure their reputable before hosting a contest. Feel free to let me know if you've used any sites that worked out.

Last year I went a week without AC. It broke and my family took a while to call anyone to get it fixed. The week wasnt too bad though.

 

If I win, I would like Killing Floor.

 

Thanks

I was without AC for about 9 days because of a hurricane about 5 or 6 years ago, but I was without AC in my car for a whole year. Florida summers can get pretty brutal too.
I'd like to get Audiosurf if I won.

I live in Las Vegas so AC is a huge concern when 3 months out of the year have over 100 degree highs. My air goes out at least once a year but usually only for 2 days or so. The longest was about 5 days and in that time I bought 2 stand up fans on top of my ceiling fan.


Enslaved would be great.

It's been years since I've lived somewhere with proper AC. =(

And I'd like Killing Floor if I win.

I don't think my A/C has ever gone out, but my heater went out for like two weeks in the middle of winter once. Not fun.

I don't think I've ever had my AC go out for long enough to matter.  I was in Belize for an afternoon at some Mayan Ruins and it was very hot.  If that counts :P

Well, last summer I went about 2 weeks without a/c. It would have been 3 days tops but the a/c repair guy just kept pumping more Freon in it until we called another company that said we had to replace the whole unit. Oh and I would like Enslaved please.

Why is the 1600 points US only? Canada can use those cards too can they not?


Also, I've never been without A/C, unless you count school. I want Enslaved!

Not unless there has been some kind of change in the past few months. Xbox Live subscriptions work worldwide, though, so I will probably offer something like that in the future.

I've always had an A/C because it was built in to the house when we moved in!!! :D  But it does take up a lot of electricity unfortunately :P

I'd like DiRT2 please!
Thanks.

Because I'm going to busy with receiving my stuff from the moving company, this is going to end Friday (the 27th) instead of Saturday. This shouldn't really be a problem since most entries are received in the first couple of days. The winners will also be chosen and PMed on Friday, and VGG #20 will begin on Monday as usual.

I luckily live in the North East US (and not so luckily, damn snow) so I go most of the year without it. Only really need an A/C for 1 month or so. Not sure how people way down south can stand it >< 
Enslaved.

I've probably only gone maybe a couple of weeks without AC before.  I know I remember one summer where the AC died and it took a while to get it fixed, but that's been about it.  Also, I love having AC.
 
For the first time in a while I'm having a hard time picking a game.  I'll have to go with Enslaved again though I think.

@Video_Game_King: Yep! Luckily it is an international contest now, too! The movers are coming early in the morning and I want to focus on unpacking my stuff instead of making threads. This is a busy weekend for Vito. :(
