WCG Game Giveaway for the "TPU's 10th Birthday Challenge"

adulaamin · May 16, 2014

”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 4 cores/8 threads during this Challenge.”

I'm in for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

What first got you interested in TPU and made you join?

I got scammed into buying overpriced PC parts. I decided to teach myself how to build a PC. I went through a few different forums and finally settled here. No ads, easy navigation, and overall an AWESOME community.
:toast:

Nordic · May 16, 2014

”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 14 cores/4 threads during this Challenge.”

I do not wish to get more games until I play the ones I have.

I just built my first pc. It was fun. I then broke my 6950's fan blade. I didn't know what to do. I googled it and found a thread on tpu about something similar. I ended up making my own thread. If found lots of other things to read and learn from here. Then awhile later I found a crunching team, even though I had been crunching for other projects for awhile. Here we are now.

Eroticus · May 16, 2014

10cores/16 Theads ( My PC , Note book with i5 (Limited to 2~3 Cores , and AMD limited to 2 cores, they are limited bcuz they are not mine

”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 7 cores/7 threads during this Challenge.”

I'm in for Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

I came to TPU for a review on a PSU I was planning to buy, and then spotted the nostalgic hardware thread in the side panel, and thought I had some things to show.

stinger608 · May 16, 2014

I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 8 cores/8 threads during this Challenge.
And
I’m an active TPU folder, and I will be folding during this Challenge

Count me in for Wolfenstein.

manofthem · May 17, 2014

Poor Dark Souls 2, not gettin' no love :cry:

FordGT90Concept · May 17, 2014

But look at what it is up against! Wolfenstein was a lot of fun.

Nordic · May 17, 2014

Half the games don't have anyone asking for them yet. This really does need some more attention. I think most WCG team members know of the giveaway but what about folders?

Sad to see NS2 not get any love. Best game on the list in my humble subjective opinion.

”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on X8cores/8threads during this Challenge.and I’m an active TPU folder, and I will be folding during this Challenge"(Obviously replace the XX’s with your particular numbers of cores/threads)
I came across this site surfing and haven't looked back.
Great for news and debate.
I would not mind either grand prize and any cos I'm not picky

librin.so.1 · May 17, 2014

I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on [too lazy to count] cores/[too lazy to count] threads during this Challenge.

Boy, it sure is hard for me to find any games in the list that I don't already have... :ohwell:

*shrug* Imma go for LA Noire and Max Payne 3
Not going for the grand prizes as I already got both of those games.

And I don't remember why and how I got on TPU. At all.

P.S. for those wondering, the Shadow Warrior in the game list is the new reboot game, NOT the old one from the 1990s.
P.P.S. Wolfenstein: New Order recently [finally!] got a release date listed on Steam. Gonna be on the 20th / Tuesday

NastyHabits · May 17, 2014

I joined TPU in January 2008. I had been viewing and lurking before that. I finally decided to join, after I dabbled with overclocking and water cooling. In June of 2009 I discovered Folding and Crunching. Been hooked ever since. I'm in for the "Walking Dead". Be folding on two video cards and crunching on 6 cores. (I know, compared to some of you, I'm small potatoes, but I still have a real good time here.) Happy Birthday TPU, the best computing forum on the net!

EDIT: Oops. I just realized this is just about crunching. I've been crunching since October 2009 and will be using all 6 of my incredibly weak cores during the challenge. (OK, I use all six of them almost every day anyway.

)

”I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 4 cores/8 threads during this Challenge.”

I'm in Sanctum 2 or UFO: Afterlight or Dark souls 2

What first got you interested in TPU and made you join?

The writing quality of reviews in TPU.

yotano211 · May 18, 2014

I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 8 cores/16 threads during this Challenge.

I came into TPU some years ago when I had my last desktop but I was just a lurker then. Today I only operate on laptops since my home job requires me to travel (mostly driving) around a lot. I know TPU is mostly a desktop site but I still crunch away. I have been running BIONC on and off for over 5-6 years now and will continue into the future.

I guess I will run for these games
Crysis 2
ARMA 2: Combined Operations
Max Payne 3
And for grand prize I pick,

Dark Souls 2

manofthem · May 19, 2014

Almost Midnight Crunch Bump :toast:

Tomorrow is coming quickly so crunch on and get in for some games!

mx500torid · May 19, 2014

updated my game choice Dark Souls 2 FTW!

manofthem · May 20, 2014

So tonight's drawing obviously didn't work out so we are rescheduling for tomorrow evening. This gives everyone an extra day to think stuff over :laugh:

See you guys tomorrow night :roll:

Irony · May 20, 2014

I’m a TPU cruncher, and I will be crunching on 14 cores/14 threads during this Challenge

I got started on TPU right after I built my first computer having no idea what I was doing, I had a few silly questions I couldn't find the answer to anywhere, and this was one of the top google search results. So I asked on here and everyone was pretty awesome and helped me out, So I stuck around.

I would like to enter for Splinter Cell Blacklist

librin.so.1 · May 21, 2014

I hope You won't be runnin' late yet again, mate.

manofthem · May 21, 2014

I presume you mean me...

I'm working on it now, getting together the lists/names/games. Be back soon

Second, on behalf of TPU and its WCG team, I would like to THANK all those working hard for the good of the many!

Fourth, PMs will be going out asap to the winners with redemption instructions, so please be patient as this always takes some time.

And lastly, there are a few leftover games that are still available. if someone didn't win and would like one, please post on
