I've been getting a lot of PM's and chatting with people on Steam about the games and parts I've been giving away. A lot of people don't understand my behavior and more than once I've been asked how I can afford to do this. I'm giving the gifts from myself to the people who want them or at least I think deserve them. I'm not a representative for any company or a viral marketer. I'm 35 and I've been blessed to have full time employment. I decided to give away some games and cheer up someone's day. I'll be sending games and parts to as many people as I can as long as my finances permit. I like to set aside some money for new components and other fun things like a responsible person should. That's where I'm getting my funds from. I have no connection whatsoever to any computer company this is entirely done as an act of kindness. At this point I'm giving the games and parts away on a first come first served basis. I will strive to continue to do this as my financial situation permits. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone if I can't help you right away. Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.  Also, I don't expect anything in return so there are no strings attached to my gifts.  I Love you all!

    I never questioned your motives.  I know you go way out of your way to be helpful (I still remember the memory thing) and giving people the gift of gaming makes their day better.
     
    Worst part is, I actually had to stop and look up Duke Nukem to figure out what I'd received.  I know now it's been too long that I've neglected the gaming world.

    I've been getting a lot of PM's and chatting with people on Steam about the games I've been giving away.  A lot of people don't understand my behavior and more than once I've been asked how I can afford to do this.  I'm giving the gifts from myself to the people who want them or at least I think deserve them.  I'm not a representative for any company or a viral marketer.  I'm 35 and I've been blessed to have full time employment.  I was saving up a wad of money for two GTX 580 3GB cards and instead of buying those I decided to give away some games and cheer up someone's day.  I'll be sending games to as many people as I can as long as my finances permit.  I like to set aside some money for new components and other fun things like a responsible person should.  That's where I'm getting my funds from.  I have no connection whatsoever to Duke Nukem or any computer company.  At this point I'm giving the games on a first come first served basis.  Unless something financially positive changes I will probably not be giving anymore games out until next month.  I'm sorry to disappoint anyone and I'm not stopping just taking a small break.  Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated.  I Love you all!

    God Bless you. You are selfless and I wish there were more people like you in the world. The world would be a better place!

    I tip my hat to you, Sir.......this is a perfect example of how ALL human beings should act....a heart of giving, instead of selfishness.
     
    We are supposed to be channels...not reservoirs. When we are blessed, we are supposed to use that to bless others. You are sowing great seeds and will reap a great harvest.
     
    Ignore the negative comments you have surely gotten from those that do not understand this concept.

    No need to be sorry.  I am wowed with what you have done.  You have provided a lot of people with some cool games instead of buying GTX 580's.  In my book, that is just awesome.  There needs to be more people like you on this earth.  You understand the true gift of giving and I applauded you for that.
     
    Lets give Brcromer a cheer.  Hip hip Hooray!!  Hip hip Hooray!!

    BR your just another reason why I know our Country is going to get out of this funk we are in!! I think our Nations leaders should take note on the type of selflessness we all deserve from them.. Ever thought about running for office? We sure could use people like you on Capital Hill...

    I enjoy the fact that it wasn't because you came across some money or that you are some Duke Nuke em developer. You are just an average joe WORKING a full time job. You were saving your money for the video cards but out of kindness you gave stuff away. Some people throw money and have multiple 580GTX and don't think twice about upgrading but you are struggling just like most of us.
     Very nice! What I enjoy most is that you are one year older than me and that made me feel less old.
     Hats off to you sir.
