Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 What I would love is - preorder of Lego Marvel Super Hero's Xbox 360 - Lego Star Wars for xbox 360
VeryPC Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 What I would love is - preorder of Lego Marvel Super Hero's Xbox 360 - Lego Star Wars for xbox 360 Good choices, but I think you've bust your budget. Here are the prices we get: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes £29.19 LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga £19.99 Total £49.18 You have up to £40 - please can you post links to the exact games you'd like on amazon.co.uk (main stockist, not marketplace or used items please) and if it comes to less than or equal to £40 we'll get them ordered for you. Thanks, Al
X-13 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Posting a rage reply has annoyed me way more that not winning the games... My keyboard on my phone is too small. I can't upload images from the app. Mobile mode on my phone is annoying. Full mode on my phone is even more annoying. I can't upload an animated gif whatever way i try. The drag function on previously uploaded attachments doesn't work on a phone. I lost a decent reply because "manage attachments" isn't a pop-up/tab like on a computer. Today is going to be one of those days... i should have known that some SJW on teh tumblr started spouting about how my opinion is invalid because I'm a white heterosexual cisgendered male. I'm done. I officially hate everyone now. GG, humanity. [Off topic rant ftw]
featured_spectre Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I would have gone for BF4 preorder lol
X-13 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I would have gone for BF4 preorder lol Arkham origins or SR4 (if SR4 drops in price a bit... £28 with free postage to £40 with ~£5 postage in a week)

[Off topic rant ftw] I've struggled with things like attachments and video linking when working on mobile myself, plus my phone has a mind of it's own, so I feel your pain on those points. I'm going to imagine that I read a fine old rant from you that rampaged over me and left nothing but scorched earth, so you can enjoy the satisfaction of making me reel from your vehemence. How's that for a deal? Al
X-13 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 How's that for a deal? Al Sounds good. Now if only i can get rid of my rage headache...
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 That's it! Entries for BACK TO SCHOOL are now closed. Best of luck for today's 2 draws: a daily draw for the final geeky prize, the Batman earbuds and the star prize draw for the VeryPC Nano Sketch mini PC. Plus, we have a special guest today, so check out the video later. See you in a bit, Al
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Good morning imaginary class. Time for the last daily draw and also the winner of our BACK TO SCHOOL STAR PRIZE! 2 draws, 2 winners and 3 (count 'em) guest appearances plus some robot violence coming up - watch on... Congratulations daily winner @nephilim - the Batman earbuds are yours, and extra special congrats to our star prize winner @siuko - you are now the proud owner of a VeryPC Nano Sketch with i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD and windows home licence PLUS you get to decorate the side panel with the design of your choice! @siuko you need to tell us whether you want Windows 7 or Windows 8 (both home 64bit versions). Plus you need to decide on a design to laser etch the side of your Nano Sketch and we'll send you a visual mockup for approval before we fire the laser (we will probably need to adapt your design a bit to make it fit the constraints of the laser etching, but you can essentially have whatever artwork you want). That's it - thanks to everybody who entered the competition - special thanks to thread contributors for keeping the fun going. Big thanks to my VeryPC colleagues who helped out with the videos: @VeryPC_Colin_M, Dan, Adam and Luke the cameraman. Bye for now - next stop STOCKTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Al 1
plexer Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 @VeryPC thanks for a great competition but I have to say "YOU'RE ALL MENTAL!!!!!!" Ben
siuko Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGZZZZZZ!!!!! I cant believe it!!! I won something!! I have such a huge smurk on my face!!! Lol thanks guys I wasn't expecting to win so I will have to think about what design I would like - what was everyone else going to have?
featured_spectre Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Awwwwwh Yis!! Other than the game, this is what I had my eyes on! Thanks guys! Edited August 30, 2013 by featured_spectre
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGZZZZZZ!!!!! I cant believe it!!! I won something!! I have such a huge smurk on my face!!! Lol thanks guys I wasn't expecting to win so I will have to think about what design I would like - what was everyone else going to have? You're welcome. No rush on choosing a design - just let us know when you've decided. Also specify Windows 7 or 8 (will be the home version 64 bit of either). Al
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 @VeryPC thanks for a great competition but I have to say "YOU'RE ALL MENTAL!!!!!!" Ben You're welcome, and also fairly correct about our brains (well, at least where promotional videos are concerned anyway). Al
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Awwwwwh Yis!! Other than the game, this is what I had my eyes on! Thanks guys! Great stuff. Glad you got one of your favourite prizes. Al
siuko Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I would like Windows 8 please. I was thinking of just having a quote from my favorite film placed on the side. Its from dune and the bit I want goes as follows... A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. Have you done any text only designs? How do they look? Edited August 30, 2013 by siuko

Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. Have you done any text only designs? How do they look? "The sleeper must awaken" That's a really good idea - I love that movie and find those four words to be spine-tingling. Nice choice. I tell you what we'll do, we'll mock it up with the whole quote in a couple of typefaces and you can tell us which you prefer, OR if you have a certain typeface in mind, let me know what it is and we'll use that. Thanks, Al
siuko Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Well I've just checked and I think one of the original Dune fonts is HERE But I have a feeling that wont look to good with that quote... So if you could possibly mock up with any you think will fit the quote that would be great thanks Possible make "The sleeper must awaken" part italc to emphasize it? What do you think? Thanks again!! Really excited to see what it looks like
VeryPC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Your instinct it correct, that font would only work for headlines and titles etc, not really appropriate for reading a quote. Here's a screen cap of the last line as displayed in my font management software: I'll find a couple that look better and let you choose soon. Al
siuko Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Lol yeah that font does look a little wonky!! It reminds me more of the Austin Powers film title than of Dune
