StevieM Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Half Life 3 as a star prize - that would be disappointing Half Life 3? Why don't they just call it 1-and-a-Half Life?
Seb1780 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks for the guess @Seb1780, but I cannot award you a bonus entry until you enter the competition in the first place (apologies if your original entry somehow got lost in an EduGeek PM vortex). Al Thanks Al, but as an 'umble Data Manager with no budget to spend I do not qualify for the competition . Steve
Matt-A Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Is it a dignified sense of fulfilment free from the shackles of materialistic greed in an increasingly chaotic world? Or a snow cone maker? Cos either would be pretty handy like. 1
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks Al, but as an 'umble Data Manager with no budget to spend I do not qualify for the competition . Steve That's okay - not all our IT tech entrants have buying power either - we broadened the range to include data managers and anyone working in organisational IT a couple of competitions back. PM me - I'll add you before the final draw - totally kosher. Al

bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) He's like a real life Santy Claws. A modern day Kris Kringle. Why do you think the comp ends tomorrow? Al needs to get back up to the north pole, don his red suit and get ready for an around the world trip.

hallb15 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I've got it this time, its a Amphibious Super Tank YED 24883A Amphibious Super Tank 7.2v Ni-Mh LED Lights.. | Ebuyer.com It is, isn't it - I knew it. I want one! 2
StevieM Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I think I may have figured out the star prize! Judging by the shape, it's the Sphinx! Can I have my bonus entry backdated to 10th December? 1

bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Can I have my bonus entry backdated to 10th December? Yes, they did indeed go back in time and add your bonus entry into the chassis from the 10th of December. Unfortunately the results were still the same. But it's in there I'm sure 2

Unfortunately the results were still the same. But it's in there I'm sure Thought so. Just checkin'. Cool, you really are Santa bringing me a gift like that. PM sent *Grumble, grumble, if @Seb1780 wins tomorrow... grrrrrr!* Just kidding. Good luck, everyone! And ANOTHER first post on a page. I'm gonna have to go back and check how many firsts and lasts I got this time. Edited December 19, 2013 by StevieM 1
sparkeh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Good luck, everyone! Yeah good luck everyone on the other prizes, but the nano is mine.
X-13 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 but the nano is mine. Nope. Al told me I won it when he was in the future... bar-steward called me collect as well, I'm not looking forward to the bill.

sparkeh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Nope. Al told me I won it when he was in the future... bar-steward called me collect as well, I'm not looking forward to the bill. Oh? Future sparkleh told me the other day, over breakfast, that I had won it. Am I lying to myself again? I am such a douche. Though I am so going to lie to myself when I am over the other side of the table, yuk yuk yuk.
sparkeh Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Nope. Al told me I won it when he was in the future... bar-steward called me collect as well, I'm not looking forward to the bill. Oh and if you call from the future the bill actually goes backward. A bit like in Ferris Bueller when they put the car in reverse to take the miles off the clock.
Seb1780 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 *Grumble, grumble, if @Seb1780 wins tomorrow... grrrrrr!* With all the warping of space and time that has taken place in this thread it is a little remiss to assume I have just joined in 2
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Cool, you really are Santa bringing me a gift like that. PM sent No problem. Goodus luckus! Al 1
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Okay, it's gone 3 o'clock. I realise that most (if not all) of you have worked this out by now, but I can officially announce that the final (star) prize of MADvent this year will be a VeryPC Nano: https://www.very-pc.co.uk/products/nano-pc/nano I'll give you a closer look and more info in the vid tomorrow. As always, good luck everyone! Al
bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Oh and if you call from the future the bill actually goes backward. A bit like in Ferris Bueller when they put the car in reverse to take the miles off the clock. It doesn't though. The clock just goes up, then the car goes flying out of the windows and into a ditch. Moral of the story... Don't phone yourself from the future, you may end up in a ditch. Also spoiler alert if you've never seen the film... although this should have probably gone first. Ah well. 1
bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 No problem. Goodus luckus! Al Ah hem... Where's my goodus luckus???

Mmm that's why Al is going to come crashing backward through the fabric of reality into @X-13's living room. Right....about.....now!

THAT's what it is. Not the sphinx then? That would be cool fixed to the back of my TV, with a wireless keyboard and mouse so I can browse the VeryPC webshop from the comfort of the couch. (Bonus entries for brown-nosing?)
VeryPC Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Ah hem... Where's my goodus luckus??? As always, good luck everyone! 6 characters required
bladedanny Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Mmm that's why Al is going to come crashing backward through the fabric of reality into @X-13's living room. Right....about.....now! And take back the PS4 which is the real prize of Madvent.
