Season's greetings! I would like to personally invite you to join this year's PC Secret Santa event, thread link below. Please drop by and help us make this holiday season a bit more merry for everyone. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Hey there, and thanks again for participating in the Top 50 Games event! Tomorrow starts our descent into the top 10, where our most beloved games are placed (can't wait to see what they are!).
Just wanted to let you know that, if you want to, you may complete your lists in the Official Thread. I'm always looking for a way to easy my workload... so starting to tally your choices early would be nice!
You don't have to if you don't want to of course, as long as I have your complete list by December 31st! Whatever makes things easier for you works for me. Anyways, happy holidays and thanks again for celebrating your favorite games with the rest of us. Cheers. ^_^
