    Sorry not now... need to review entries one more time for correctness, eligibility, and give users a chance to correct any errors, etc.

    I didn't get to guess.

    Thanks for the gifts. Never heard of nation Red, but Dog Fighter looks fun esp. since I was jonesing for some Crimon Skies lately. Merry Christmas!

    Ok here is the plan for the grand prize giveaway.

    Myself and HTWingNut are going to TRY to get online together at the same time today around 2PM EST and do a live giveaway over our Mumble server.

    I will be recording this on my computer and later uploading it to youtube so we can sort of save the memory of the event.

    However I will be watching all 4 of my kids alone today, HTWingNut has things to do with his kids too.

    Both of us have nobody to help watch the kids and they love to see whats going on when daddy is on the computer and talking to it.


    Soooo.... If we cant get online together and get things under control HTWingNut is just going to pull the numbers and post the winners and we will skip the live recording.

    If we are going to do the live recording I will post here in this thread about 10 or 15 minutes prior so that anybody available at that time that wants to tune in can join us.

    Good luck to everyone in the contest, and lets all thank HtWingnut, Vicious, Reizo, and everyone else involved that I can't remember off the top of my head, for their continued generosity and work on this board.

    Sadly I won't be able to attend the live Mumble broadcast as I will be at the PT clinic all afternoon. Goodluck to everyone.

    I'll be on a plane to Hong Kong from O'Hare. It leaves at 12:30 central time. If you guys do the live broadcast at 2:00 eastern, I'll have wait 15 hours(the flight takes 15 hours and 30 minutes)

    Could you do it earlier?

    Yeah little kids don't exactly cooperate. You may very well hear kids screaming, yelling, crying, etc in the background. As long as they don't run away with daddy's headphones it will be a miracle. :D

    You can always distract your kids by giving them Nerf weapons. And if that backfires, at least it will be amusing for us to watch...

    From the looks of things, it'll be on Mumble, uploaded to YouTube, and posted here in text if all goes as planned.
