    I remember the PC Zone magazine. The best PC Gaming magazine I ever read! I got my hands on about 3 pdf editions (hand made by someone I believe) last week (The magazine closed about 2 years ago)... if anyone has some more, please let me know!.

    It will be great if someone got the rights of some old magazines and sell these through, let's say, Amazon (Kindle). I would buy old gaming magazines!

    Not favorite, but a memory nonetheless: hyping about TDU2, finally trading for it, and then realizing the cars handle terrible...

    Anyway, HTWingNut you didn't include the statistics/odds of winning this time :confused:

    You're right... too much work. :p

    Oh, and it couldn't hurt to rep and/or pat the contributors on the back. Don't rep me though, it's their money not mine! :D

    For me this was the first time winning something for free...ever. :rolleyes: Even though the contributors deserve the biggest gratitude, it must have taken HTWingNut some to set this up. Events help making the forum feel alive, so +rep him as well.

    It doesn't take much to get HTWingNut to do these things

    A little whip here and there. Then some tazer action...

    And the Iron Maiden over at the viking corner there next to the swinging axes...

    And some cat food :)

    Baka thinks HT enjoys doing this anyway ._.

    Also, if you entered and all three of your choices were taken, you can still enter again for a chance to win. Although that would mean this would be your 4th, 5th, 6th choice game. ;)

    Oh my goodness! Lucky thing I checked the thread today. I'll be on PC in a little while, so you will have my Steam info soon HT. Thanks!!

    Gaming memory, well I remember hand-plugging VRAM chips into a 16-color card when we upgraded dad's old PCXT....not that kind of gaming memory?

    I guess a big one would be the first time I nailed five guys with a single shootdodge in the original Max Payne...back before there were achievements and tutorials for that sort of thing. Super Mario 3 was a big one also (of course), only shadowed by the passage of time. First time I beat that game without a freeze or power outage etc getting in the way, I left that ending midi loop running for a week. Randomly turned the TV to 3 a couple times a day just to hear it for a bit...
