@INH - Look up the definition of "forum trolling". That is what you are doing. We're all looking forward to what happens so there's no point in constantly being negative.

Quote: "INH, your baiting people here, trying to get some sort of reaction - everytime Rick posts an update your right there with the 'You have some explaining to do' and 'I'll believe it when I see it'."

I'm sure I wasn't baiting people deliberately. (You can't blame me for being skeptical)

Anyway, I'm sorry for being negative, and thank you for removing the slap. I'll keep this in mind in future.

So, back on topic, have we gotten our prizes yet?

I know, I was referring to TGC in the irritating motherly way.

I have now emailed them winners about it.

The end is near!

It has been resolved around the 666th post... Coincidence? I think not!

You should get TGC to reimburse you then, they pre-paid for mine. I just got the PC at my door no problems, well, other than having to remove all the crap Dell install(like Mcafee), shaking a few fists at the Windows networking and disabling UAC(and other fictional military-industrial conglomerates) all seems to be well.

Nah, it's our government's fault for having some large tax on almost everything, not TGC... Besides, TGC did warn me about this... So i'm cool with it... =u=

Sorry about my lack of conformation here, though I have been in contact with Rick.

Well, I have my baby and she's a beauty, my cheesy picture will be in the newsletter.

Id like to just thank all those people that stuck up for me when I first made this angry thread, my ultimate goal was just to get things the way they should. I'm incredibly happy that the other winners appear to be in possession of their prizes also.

I would like to air a special thanks to a few people, firstly the moderators KeithC and FredP for helping keep the thread alive, and also BenjaminA who contacted me by email regarding the issue. Not forgetting of course, the successful efforts of RickV who constantly kept me informed and endeavoured to resolve the issue.

My faith in TGC has been fully restored ( and some )and it pleases me to finally exit this thread with everything correct and proper. Cheers also for all the other forum members who have voiced their concerns.

Now, back to Call of Duty 4 with every setting set on High !!! w00t!

If you could take a break from COD4 and make an uber game that would be peachy.
I am glad to hear you got your stuff.You and the other winners put a lot of time and effort into your games and you most definitley deserve it.
My congratulations to you all once again.
