I saw the game on sale yesterday (at the price you got it for) but passed it up. I just wanted to come in the thread and say how cool I thought it was that you were doing this, **Idle Thoughts**. You totally fucking rock! ---

I’m not sure if I meet your “regular poster” criteria, but I’ve been a member for going-on 13 years. The game looks interesting, I’d like to enter if you’ll have me. My SteamID is the same user name ---

I don’t have a gaming rig to play this on, but watching [Vinny play this game](http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-sleeping-dogs-nightmare-in-north-point/17-6759/) over at Giant Bomb is just as good (link has NSFW language). ---

> [@zoid](#): > > Read the boards obsessively all waking hours. I think the “I signed up to ask gimme-gimme for a free game code” types were meant. The answer is - Google indexing plus obsessive Googling for game freebies. Type in “Sleeping Dogs giveaway” and this is the second thread that pops up on Google. ---
