hallb15 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I think Emma should get her own spin off competition. If you run it next month you could call it NovEmmer or NovEmmber or summat... Ok, sorry - I'll go get a coffee and have a re-think 1
sparkeh Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Any chance of micro-competitions for extra entries? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod yes. I suggest a tournament on 80s classic "Track & Field" as per gameshow "First Class" (2:20 if you don't watch to watch it all (but you really should)): *Starts flexing his thumbs* Wadda mean I had a crush on Debbie Greenwood! Humph! Edit: Ok before the pedants come out in force, I now realise that the game feature at 2:20 is not in fact "Track & Field" but "Hypersports". Sorry, I will neg rep myself for that terrible lapse of geekery... Edited October 3, 2013 by sparkeh
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Al, your wall looks a bit bare... So, I made this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]20726[/ATTACH] 1
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Hey people. Here is your daily winner draw for STOCKTOBER2! http://youtu.be/E1oo2Jf7XL4 Congratulations winner! Let us know your box number (please consider the wall stability - be kind) and we'll reveal your prize a bit later on. Remember entries are still open, so if you get in now you'll be in the draw from tomorrow onwards until your name is drawn (but will be put back before the star prize PS4 draw). To enter just PM me your professional contact details if you are a UK based IT manager/tech type, OR if you've entered a VeryPC competition on EduGeek before, you can just speak up in the thread that you want back in and we'll add you. Tanks folks, Al 3
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 "That's not a number, that's a playstation 4 controller. It's not number so you can't choose it." Playstation FOUR DUALshock FOUR It is a number. Four dual four [or 444].
sparkeh Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Box.......... number....... 8 please Oh and Wizbit!? Its the Dark Mage from Final Fantasy: Black Mage (Final Fantasy) - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research Wizbit indeed..... 1
Gonk Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I have to say that the professionalism and production values have increased no end for Stocktober2. 2
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I'm way better then the old cameraman Better at what? Surely, not filming.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Better at what? Surely, not filming. He managed to get your picture in the shot though!
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 He managed to get your picture in the shot though! It's impossible to NOT film it. It's so cool, it attracts the FoV of the camera to it. Plus, it's dangerous to ignore Emma. Picture or not.
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Box.......... number....... 8 please Oh and Wizbit!? Its the Dark Mage from Final Fantasy: Black Mage (Final Fantasy) - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research Wizbit indeed..... Whoah - speedy response! Congratulations to you @sparkeh, we'll reveal your prize shortly. Re Wizbit: After I said that I remembered what Wizbit really looks like and worked out I was wrong so I did a quick Google search by image and it informed me of the same (apparently some geezer called "Vivi"). I'm a right doofus. For anyone who doesn't remember, here's what Wizbit really looks like (reckon I'm showing my age by making this reference): And here's a vid to demonstrate what a "normal" programme Wizbit was:
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (apparently some geezer called "Vivi") YOU DON'T KNOW WHO VIVI IS?! Get out.
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I have to say that the professionalism and production values have increased no end for Stocktober2. Cheers @Gonk Now I'm pretty sure you are being genuine and paying us a compliment there, but if you were a snide person rather than the top bloke you are, that could be a top quality back-handed sarcy comment. I put the more professional look down to @VeryPC_Tom_B and Tom Denton's hard work in preparing my new "studio" in our training room, plus some better lighting that we got for our latest product photography. The massive wall of boxes helps too I reckon (that was MY idea!) Al Edited October 3, 2013 by VeryPC

Playstation FOUR DUALshock FOUR It is a number. Four dual four [or 444]. Yes. It's a number. Suuuuure it is! Anyway, 444 is not in the range 1-31, so we're safe. Al
sparkeh Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Whoah - speedy response! Sadly I sit in front of Edugeek all day hitting F5. Around 2009 my hand got tired so I employed a drinking bird to take over the strain, much like this: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/2239283/homer-bird-o.gif And here's a vid to demonstrate what a "normal" programme Wizbit was:[/QUOte] Funny, I am still more disturbed by the appearance of Paul Daniels than all the trippy stuff. 3
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Funny, I am still more disturbed by the appearance of Paul Daniels than all the trippy stuff. Yeaaaaah. He's a little bit odd isn't he? Al
featured_spectre Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 First of all....Al, have you lost weight, as you look slimmer than last year. Second of all...is Emma a prize?

VeryPC_Tom_B Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 It's impossible to NOT film it. It's so cool, it attracts the FoV of the camera to it. Plus, it's dangerous to ignore Emma. Picture or not. What picture? I don't see no picture
X-13 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 What picture? I don't see no picture The beating he recieved from she-who-must-not-be-named was so brutal he was never heard from again. RIP Tom B.
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Eye peeling time (ewww) @sparkeh! May I present to you your prize, as found in box number 8: http://youtu.be/aFHTk-DwKlU Remember entries are still open, so if you get in now you'll be in the draw from tomorrow onwards until your name is drawn (but will be put back before the star prize PS4 draw). To enter just PM me your professional contact details if you are a UK based IT manager/tech type, OR if you've entered a VeryPC competition on EduGeek before, you can just speak up in the thread that you want back in and we'll add you. Byeeeeeeee! Al 2
ninjabeaver Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Bloody Hell, missed the start again. So busy here I get little time to check Edugeek or wipe my nose lately. Anyway, can you add me please? 1
sparkeh Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Awesome. Thanks guys! (good box wall destroying skills as well). Great to see Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Ph.D up on the wall as well
VeryPC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 First of all....Al, have you lost weight, as you look slimmer than last year. Second of all...is Emma a prize? Dunno about the weight - I feel about the same tbh. Thanks for noticing anyway! As for Emma being a prize, I think there may one or two human rights conventions preventing it, but we would if we could (and if she allowed to and didn't just blast us all to superheated dust the moment we approached her).
