This looks like a lot of work. I'm going to give it a go this weekend. Once I get through the ones I know, it should help with process of elimination and a bit of research for the ones I don't.

Christopher3453d ago

I made it so that each correct answer is an entry for the reason that this may be harder for some than others. But, I also made it enticing to get all 30 with the promise of double entries. In the end, it's just intended as a diversion with a chance at some money at the end.

Hope people enjoy.

coolbeans3453d ago

I think it's a cool idea. :)

DarkOcelet3453d ago

So, let me get this straight. Those heroes listed above gave the gifts to each other and we are supposed to know which hero give which hero that gift?

For example, Lara gave Nathan his gift? I am a bit confused here lol

Lon3wolf3453d ago

Look at the gift they received as it's a clue to who gave it.

DarkOcelet3453d ago

What i mean is, did the characters who gave the gifts are from the characters listed above? Is it narrowed to just those 30 characters up there?

luckytrouble3453d ago

A breakdown:
30 characters from gaming participated in Secret Santa
All the gifts listed were given by one of the other 30 listed characters
Based on the list of characters and the item they received, you are supposed to guess who a given character's Secret Santa was from among the other 29 participants

So if you believe Adam's Secret Santa was Doll, you would put your answer as:
1. Doll

Each correct answer gets you an entry, getting all 30 correct nets you 60 entries instead.
Good luck. I think most of us will need it.

DarkOcelet3453d ago

Aha, i see now. Thank you luckytrouble for taking your time and writing that answer. My mind is abit slow these days XD

I would give you a helpful bubble if they still had that system implemented (Which i hope makes a comeback one day)

Lon3wolf3453d ago

Yes they all gave to each other

DarkOcelet3453d ago

Great, thanks for the fast reply Lon3wolf :)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio35d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing35d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9235d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit35d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing35d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9235d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
