Holy Crap! That is cool! One of our regular readers/posters won the grand prize. Who said that reading the page every day doesn't pay off?

[OUX]

*weep* congratz.....glad to see posters won.....*sob*...excuse me, I have something in my eye

[bean19]

Reluctant, begrudging, and envious congratulations Track Zero! :)

I'm also glad that it was a regular reader and not some name I've never heard of or someone who signed up just for the contest. Have fun playing on your sweet ass PC!

[TheEpicOfTyler]

Congratulations to everyone. :(

Yeah...I was really kinda worried a 0 poster was gonna get it. Surprisingly I think only 2 of the people that won prizes in this contest were 0 posters. Hopefully they contribute to the site now! :)

Well done everyone, that's some cool shit you won.

Especially TrackZero, you lucky, lucky, bastard.

As Napoleon Dynamite so wisely said, "Lucky!"

[RandomViolence]

Yes! I needed a bloody mouse! My scroll wheel is sticking from all the... never you mind. I love Evil Avatar! Thank you so much!

Congratulations to all the other winners, especially TrackZero, who must've found a better way to cheat than I did!

[Kefkataran]

Oh shit. To hell with you, Track Zero! :p

Really, though, congrats to all the readers, especially Track Zero, and big kudos to EvAv for throwing such an awesome deal. Proof positive that you guys really do appreciate your readers a lot.

[Spigot]

Congrats TrackZero (and everyone else). I'll mimic what everyone else is saying by being super happy that one of the regular contributors won the prize. Nice to see that Kelegacy's trick to send nude photos to the editors worked :)

I should have known I wouldn't win anything since I used up all my contest winning magic with my comic giveaway wins. If only I'd known about this giveaway before I entered the comic ones... Sigh...

[Knite]

Lol Random =)

Congrats to all you winner type people!!! GGs ;-P

[merlinchang]

Grats winners.

Next time!

[Dracula-X]

Congratulations, you filthy undeserving bastards!

I kid. :) 'grats to all winners and TrackZero in all sincerity, and thanks to Evil Avatars & sponsors for throwing this together for the community. Way cool.

[Kelegacy]

Holy shit! I can't believe it. I never win anything! Thank you!!
This had better be the last time you ever utter those words in succession.

!VENDETTA!

[fushi]

I have nothing to add besides :( because I'm a bitter person like that.

Still, I'm happy a regular won the grand prize!

[TheKeck]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!

First I win the contest over at ExtraLife Radio last night, now a boomchair! I'm the luckiest guy ever! (Except for TrackZero, who's 1000 times luckier. :)) Congrats to everyone, and thanks Evil Avatar for this awesome contest!


(And Kelegacy, it was a good episode last night, huh?)

[fitbabits]

Holy shit! I can't believe it. I never win anything! Thank you!!

Holy shit! I can't believe it. I never win anything! Thank you!!

CONGRATS to all the winners.

[TheDudeOnTheCouch]

Wow, this is pretty awesome. Namco prize pack eh? Heh, wicked. Thanks alot EA!

Um.. just wondering... Are we going to be contacted for shipping addresses?

Congrats TrackZero on winning the grand prize. Heh, he's not the only lucky Torontonian on EA, heh. I guess EvilAvatar likes people from Toronto :)

I sent out Emails to all winners using the email that the entry was submitted from. Make sure you guys check spam folders and such.

[TheDudeOnTheCouch]

Hmm... the e-mail isnt there. Not in my junk-mail folder either...
I used my Hotmail to send out the entry, is that a problem??

:EDIT: All fixed. Thanks bapenguin!

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Wow, congrats guys! I wish I had paid more attention to this contest and actually entered. Obviously there was a pretty good chance of winning something - better than the average contest at least. I'm really glad to see some winners that I reconize.

Don't worry Kel - there's always next year bud. ;)

[Mozain]

I sent out Emails to all winners using the email that the entry was submitted from. Make sure you guys check spam folders and such.
also, still waiting on my E-mail, spam filter and everything has been turned off just incase. Congrats to all I must say!

[ezra]

I <3 EA


Congrats, Trackzero and all the other winners!

[Ailer]

Congrats to everyone, and a big thanks to all the people who organized this contest.

Oh and apparently I still have a piggy back ride from kel, that I have no way of cashing in, if someone would like to purchase it from me, I am starting the bidding at 3 dollars Canadian, so about 30 cents to you Yanks.

[ghost]

At this point, any more congrats would just be cliche. Well, Winners, enjoy your temporary pleasures. I can assure you they will be more short-lived than you realize....

Oh, and TrackZero? Guard it carefully, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your shiny new computer.... Heh heh heh....

In all seriousness, congrats to the winners, and Thanks to Bap and the rest of the EA staff for the awesome contest and prizes. Now I have to go wait a year for the next one....

[Paltry]

Balls... .

[Odyzen]

Congrats to TrackZero, one name i remember because he's the bestest S-Mart employee there is. Well, there's Kelegacy, but he's not Canadian.

Congrats to all the winners.

Thanks EvilAvatar.com, EvilAvatar, bapenguin and the rest that helped to provide such a fantastic contest. I don't think there's a group that wants so much for their readers.

Also thanks to the sponsors.

[[Jez]]

could have done with a new mouse...buggereit...
Congrats to TZ and the rest of the winners

[PathMaster]

grats to all who won..and better luck next year I hope to everyone especially me!

[midrael]

Congrats to all the winners! Great contest! :)

[SaintArnold]

Great contest! I didn't win, but it was still cool to see lots of people I sorta know winning stuff. Nice job EA and BAP.

[kizke]

Thanks a lot, EA! You guys are the coolest. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to the EA staff for running such an awesome website.

[Kagger]

Congrats to all!

So whats your old computers specs?.

[TrackZero]

So whats your old computers specs?.

Currently I'm on a:

- Intel P4 (E) 3.0Ghz
- Asus P4P-800E Deluxe
- 2x512MB Corsair Value Select dual-channeled (so 800Mhz FSB)
- ASUS Raedeon 9600 XT (which I got a free copy of HL2 with, heh)
- SB Audigy 2.0 Platinum
- IDE - 40GB IBM Deskstar
- IDE - 80GB Seagate
- SATA - 240GB Maxtor
- LG 12x DVD burner
- Lian-Li PC-60 Case

So it's a pretty good box. Though I tend to only upgrade my parts one at a time on a piecemeal basis. I had been considering upgrading my vid card to x850 (as it's probably the last AGP card ATI will ever make). But looks like I won't have to. ;) I use my computer for art and what have you, so I've also got a nice Wacom Tablet (one of the huge ones), a CanonScan 4200F and Canon Pixma iP 2200 printer. Though my speakers are quite outdated. It's a nice 2.1 Altec Lansing set back from ... oh, I'd say 1999. But it doesn't bother me, I use headphones most of the time anways.

But I'm really excited about this new rig, I'll finally move up to PCI Express, be able to play Doom 3 and Battlefield 2 without having to lower all the settings to baseline. I've also heard some great things from friends about the Athlon 64 processors, so I'm wanting to check that puppy out. Also I'm interested to see how that 7200rpm drive will perform, I haven't owned one before and want to see the difference in load/access times.

I can then take my old box, install Slackware (yes yes, don't try and sell me on another distro, I'm comfortable with Slack) and set it up with iptables, run apache, ftp and a mail server on it, I'm sure I'll move my 240GB SATA into the new machine though. The more space the merrier! That way my new box can be completely devoted to gaming/workstation instead of having to run services (like BIND or FTP, which I currently do).

Anyways, yeah, I'm sure I just bored everyone with that, sorry. ;)

Thanks again EA and WiredUpSolutions.com!

[Kelegacy]

Die you bastard.

I want to put the Holiday Giveaway behind me, I don't want to ever remember the fact that I lost.

I hope you enjoy your new PC. All the starving kids without computers in Somalia have to go without a new PC because of you. Had I won, I would have donated it to that poor country.

Jesus hates you.

[TrackZero]

Die you bastard.

Don't worry K, I'll be sure to PM you once a week reminding you. ;)

Or you could roll over in bed and just tease me to my face.

Actually I won a Boom Chair, so all is not lost. I also won the Infinite Crisis giveaway and a copy of Nanostray earlier this year. I didn't want to mention that because fitbabits is supposed to be the lucky cocksucker. He takes the heat away from me.

Hah! I still remember how bad I wanted to win that Nanostray giveaway. Especially since I couldn't find a copy anywhere for about a month after the game came out, then suddenly it was everywhere.

[Spigot]

Man, Trackzero... I'll buy your old box off you. My aging 1.6GHz P4 is so creaky that your 3.0 looks awesome.

Sigh...

Sigh, well i hope you enjoy anyways.
Maybe one day someone who honestly needs a new pc will win in a similar vein of contest.
