APOLOGY
-Steve
As many of you might have heard at [H]ardOCP, due
to circumstances beyond my control ( crap-tacular ISP ) I have been
without a cable modem or dial-up service for almost a week. The Killer
gaming rig contest is scheduled to launch Monday the 4th. I will also be
starting our next batch of giveaways at that time as well.
I have over
470 e-mail that need to be filtered through, if you sent me something
that was extremely important, PLEASE feel free to resend it. I have
taken steps to make sure I am never without a connection to the internet
again....UGH!!!

Last Xbox

Kids
Computers -Steve
After my little revelation the other day about how I get all the stuff
to give away....more people asked me about what is in my families
computers. Well, here is a quick rundown of my children's computers

1800+
AthlonXP running at 1700MHz, completely watercooled top to bottom, MSI
nForce Motherboard, GeForce4 Ti4400, 80GB WD ATA133 Hard Drive, Dual

Killer
Gaming Rig VI -Steve
That's right, you heard me, the Killer Gaming Rig
VI is in the works....I will set up the contest page and get things
ready to roll here over the next week so you can start signing up to
win. You'll remember the last KGR was running at 2.4GHz powered by the
Radeon 8500.... all I can say, is the KGR VI is going to blow that one
away!!!

-Steve
I have a ton of things going on right now, I am in
the middle of finishing up a watercooling article for a print magazine.
Very cool experience indeed. I am rounding up some hardware for next
weeks contests...I am going to give
away a prize every day for a week again.
Look for that after the final Xbox package is won on Friday.
Something
that I think is pretty entertaining...I have been attempting to
grow a beard for the hell of it, and my wife hates it. So, naturally I
turn to the other worlds hottest woman, Asia
Carrera and ask her opinion of my new scruff...her words
exactly were "
...personally, I hate facial hair, because it's no fun to kiss a brillo pad where soft lips are supposed to be."
It's a damn conspiracy I tell you!!! So for all you guys whom want to
really impress Asia...I got two words for you "Gillette Razor"
 .
Questions -Steve
For some reason people ask me the most bizarre stuff on the planet, most
of the strange stuff is related to my personal life and not so much my
public life. The most common question is "How do you get all the
stuff you give away??". Well, 60% comes from begging, I pound
my fingers flat on the keyboard sending out requests to all the popular
computer hardware companies asking for sponsorship. I get 25% from
products I have reviewed ....so I put it to good use by having contests
to give it away. The other 15% come out of my pocket....
More Xbox
Action -Steve
We have our alternate winner chosen for the Xbox package and we are
awaiting confirmation...whew. This opens the way for us to post the last
Xbox package up for grabs, which will run until next Friday since we
went half way through the week waiting on a a winner for the last
giveaway. Just a reminder...if you use multiple e-mail addresses to
enter the contests, keep track of them. I have more interview action
coming up as well...I have some Jedi Knight II stuff lined up, some
Ritual Entertainment goodies and some Unreal 2 action all coming your
way here soon. In the meantime...get in the contest and WIN
YOURSELF THE LAST XBOX PACKAGE!!!

Keep entering the contests as well...we have two more to go after

As a side
note, back in the day...when we would give away a prize, we used to like
to get a picture of the winner with their prize and post it. Soon, no
one wanted their picture posted on the internet...although I completely
understand WHY...I still miss it. Xbox winners...feel free to submit a
picture of you gaming your ass off on your new system, maybe we can
start the old trend again...who knows.
