I've got the Humble Monthly Keys for BLOPs IIII, and I have no desire to play it, in fact i meant to pause it but they got me in the midst of a move, so I will give it to a lucky purveyor of this thread, without Giftbot, I have decided it will go to a Haiku Competition winner, your Haiku themes are War, Senseless Violence, Nature, Videogames and Football/Soccer. Yes that is random, but pick a them and give it your best shot, I will dole out the key this time tomorrow.

Here is an example.

Violence, for naught.
Though senseless games are not.
The World Cup may be.

Is violence two syllables or three? If you're doing it by the books, three, but if you're reading conversationally two.

You guys all made this pretty difficult, so here are my top three, in order from 1st to 3rd. All pretty Strong. PMS341 got me, check your pms, actually caught me off guard with the final line, it was really well placed and it covers a couple themes.

I may have some things for 2nd and 3rd, but I am not sure, I will dig around. I think we should do more things like this.

This was a great idea and thank you for the 3rd place prize!!

I'm gonna put up some random Steam keys. The games might suck. They might not. They might even have been used already. Most likely though, they will suck.

To prevent bots from getting them, the last four digits are one off their actual digits so if you see a 7 the number is actually a 6 and if you see an S the letter is actually an R so RSTL5 is actually code for QRSK4. If it's an 0 than it's code for 9 and A is code for Z

I'm gonna be honest, this game is pure trash: DJY57-FN6PW-VG7BD

Replace the last two letters with AC and the code will be redeemed.

You've all done very well. [/Young Mister Grace]
I could easily have awarded the keys to half a dozen or more of you but there can be only one.
Congrats taril360dz but that gif is absolutely irresistible! :D
PM incoming.
Commiserations to the rest of you, many of you came very close.
Better luck next time :).

Guess the last character missing. It is a letter, by the way.

OK, I'm going to give away a game that isn't complete trash. I won't tell you what it is but it's family friendly and it's educational.

PQ9I5-IBQKQ-JA5Q7 ---> The middle set of digits are all one letter up in the alphabet than the actual letter so the B for instance is an A.

If I link my Twitch and Uplay accounts, can I unlink them after?

* After I've read how much personal data Ubisoft want to gather from my account, I decided that it doesn't worth it.
It isn't big deal, I have nothing to hide, but I don't want gaming companies to think, that it is OK to spy on me.
