Well, I think most of them will be since we'll be doing the shipping ourselves. The Boomchairs, Stewie Statue and PC are yet to be determined. I'll have more details next week.

Actually, that's damn cool. Three cheers for EvAv and the generous blokes who are not only giving this stuff away, but the companies going along with it. =)

Sweet contest.
Just a quick questions as Im a bit dumb today. When you email to choose a prize, do you have to select the grand prize, or is the grand prize draw a draw of all users from all choices?

I'm in if you can ship some of the smaller stuff to Poland.
(that's in Europe in case anybody will start asking questions :)
Pretty spiffy PC I wouldn't mind winning one!

Nice contest indeed. I certainly need a new computer.
Hawt! I need a new rig, so don't enter for it, it's all mine!
Tell me about it mine is almost 4 and struggles with WoW saddly college loans are needed for food and not rig money :(

Hmm...I think it'll be seperate. This gives people more chances to win if they decide not to enter any day for something. We really want to get people things they want, so people don't win something they really don't want or can't use.

Bah Humbug. Just kidding, can't wait!
Can one person win more than one prize? Say I won the Stewie statue and a Boomchair? Or is it a one-prize and you're out type of thing?

Yeah you can win multiple....and if you do you are quite the lucky SoB.

Hey bap so how about shipping to Poland? It should cost the same as shipping to Germany AFAIK. I'll try to grab the iPod.
Oh and entering various contest and winning various prizes is not fair IMO. That one lucky SoB could win ALL those prizes. Yeah the chances are pretty low something like 0.000001% but still.
Isn't it enter for one prize and enter for the grand prize daily so someone could in theory only win 1/2 the prizes

Right....though there's going to be 5 or 6 things given away daily. Still got some details to iron out, I'll have to come up with an official rules type thing for Monday. I just wanted to get this out now to get a little "pre-launch" hype going. :D

Its this kind of thing that makes me wish I wasn't indepted to my university, and could therefore donate.

How about putting some Common Sense into the giveaway? I know many people around here need to win some of that. :) And maybe a few cases of Integrity.
I'll donate a box of Raw Sexual Energy. ;)

Consider me entering, although if I donate £500 do I get the PC? ^_^

I thought EvAv's "in" would sway Microsoft to donate one. I wouldn't mind winning one. I wouldn't buy one right now, but winning one is....well, free. I might even be swayed over to the Darkside if I had one.

Trust me it would have been nice, but there are Microsoft Employees that don't have a 360 yet...they really are having some serious supply issues. Maybe sometime down the road they can hook us up.

Nope, i don't know either.... I'm thinking it might be BaP's, but if not I'll just spam him until he tells me... :D

Which is stupid. Bill should be walking to every office giving each employee one with a shiny red bow on top (the box, not Bill) for a Christmas bonus.

To be fair it must be exhausting typing with flippers. As a weasel I understand how hard it is to type with such small body parts, I actually type with both my and feet.
Well as only three letters of the keyboard it is tough as hell typing, good thing for you all that I have an iron will and easy snap together button. ;)

11-30-2005, 03:53 PM
I've got the fingers, they just slide through the keyboard...sometimes it's tough, when you want to play a game, and there aren't any weak-willed fools around to possess...

This is awesome. The PC alone is sweet as I'm currently in need of something that can actually run F.E.A.R. without having smoke pour out of the sound and video cards.
Thanks EvAv for being so giving. About the only thing I don't really care about winning is the Infected games as the likelihood of my owning a PSP anytime soon is slim to nil. Otherwise, hawt!

For whatever reason F.E.A.R.'s framerate is inconsistant on my beast, I dunno how it will perform on this computer.
