well, mr. "I havent ruined my credit yet" big-timing all of us small-time folk. just because you have a magic "credit card" doesnt mean you can throw it in us poor folk's face...

I'm just lucky because I don't have many bills yet :laugh:

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 7, 2011

Yeah...found out the hard way on the BF3 launch that my Gamestop doesn't have any PC versions. But that didn't stop the website from selling me one and saying I could pick it up there.

That franchise is such a POS.

BF3 or Gamestop? If BF3, then at least its not COD. Although run by the same company so if it has success, BF3 may well be the next COD. :rolleyes:

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 7, 2011

Hah. Gamestop. As my sig shows I've been enjoying BF3 plenty.

I'll trade you 40 hours of coding work for Skyrim!!
(Just kidding, Sol. You know I'll always help you with any coding no-charge)

Hmmm ... perhaps a Skyrim contest? It wouldn't be for launch date (too close), but it may garner some participation.
I'm up for that.
I'm down on that.
Do the two previous sentences mean the same thing? :confused:

I already pre-ordered my copy, but I might participate just for fun.

Kreij · Nov 8, 2011

Thanks, tJ ... you know my contests are always a little off the wall and involve a good measure of "fun".
Remember the "abuse the mods" contest? It still cracks me up if I go back and read some of the entries.

Okay .. a Steam Skyrim Giveaway it is. I'll post up a contest in the Games section as soon as I work out the details.

I'd be willing to chip in for the cost of the game for the contest, if we can get a couple of others to pitch in too.

theJesus · Nov 8, 2011

I love your contests; put a link in here when you've got it up so nobody misses it :toast:

edit: Paulieg, that's a great idea, I'll pitch in too.

Mussels · Nov 8, 2011

eh... girl wants to hang out with me friday/sat this week.

skyrim....

how do i break it to her? XD

Kreij · Nov 8, 2011

Tell her you have a temporary viral infection, but don't be specific. Works every time.

The ultimate test of whether or not she's worthy: Invite her to watch you play :laugh:

Tell her that an opportunity you've never had before came up and that you get to test out one of the biggest undertakings Bethesda softworks has ever come up with. That you would love to hang out but unfortunately you cant until about wed next week. because you need to share your findings with a couple thousand people.

very diplomatic. sounds cool and she has no idea your blowing her off for a video game.

Kreij · Nov 8, 2011

@tJ : There's an immersion killer if ever I saw one.

They could be immersed together; they could make a schizophrenic character! :laugh:

Thanks guys, but this one's on me.
Call it catharsis or call it insane, but the contests are my way of thanking the TPU members for making the forums worthy of being called "home".

Ok, Mr. Moneybags. :laugh:

It's all good. I'm getting ready to re-launch "Paulieg's Pay it forward thread" for the holidays which will include some free Sata drives, a sound card, and some other goodies. That's my catharsis, or insanity, whichever way you see it.

Mussels · Nov 8, 2011

she said she has ways of distracting me >.>

i guess skyrim is a go then. :3

Kreij · Nov 8, 2011

You are going to sell your gaming soul for temporary physical pleasure?

ViperXTR · Nov 8, 2011
