Asia Stuff -Steve
I just wanna let you guys know something. . . although Asia is my buddy, the time and effort she takes to make sure we get new pictures over here and stuff is all about YOU GUYS. Trust me on this one. . .she doesn't send them for my viewing pleasure, heh...they are for you guys. <insert song: "I am just the portal to Asia...or sumthin'>

I am also getting Tom Mustaine from Ritual lined up for his interview...and American McGee is gonna spend some quality time with us here soon as well. It's almost X-mas again too....start getting your list ready and checking them twice. Levelord is on my short list...maybe we'll see him sometime in the near future.

Asia dug under her bed and pulled out some more pictures from the ol' Hypothermia Shoebox...yes, Asia has a shoebox full of pictures under her bed, just for US. Makes you wish you were a picture right about now...doesn't it?? I'll get those posted up soon. I have some insanely cool interview action coming up here as well, and we will get that KGR 5 given away here in the next week to ten days. So enter to win before then!!!  

Wolfenstein Weekend -Steve
Been messing around with Return to Castle Wolfenstein this weekend, and let me tell you, on a P4 at 2.4GHz with a Radeon 8500 and all the settings cranked up at 1024 x 768 ( with SmoothVision x4 enabled ) it's a HELLA sweet looking game. Do yourself a favor and get a copy of RTCW...I had a blast with it, and I have tons of replay value with the kick ass multi-player portion. Here's a few screenshots remember these are waaay compressed down from 2.3mb each ( about 70k each )

Thanksgiving 2001 -Steve

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. . . I have many things to be thankful for, my friends, my family, friends like Asia and all of you guys too!! Where would I be without you guys. Be safe and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! 

Contest Questions -Steve
What does everyone think about these "total system" giveaways?? I mean, right now...if I scavenged up a lot of the reviewed hardware, etc. I could put together a nice system or two... and put them up for grabs in between big sponsored giveaways. We're talking about something along the lines of a 1.4GHz T-bird rig, GF2 Pro or the likes, DDR motherboard with 256mb PC2100 DDR, an Audigy Soundcard, good HSF.... I think something along these lines would be cool.... let me know HERE.

I am putting FULL force effort into the KGR5 competition right now to get it back on track after our little Enermax mishap. I was shooting for Thanksgiving, but I am about a week to ten days behind. So... enter to win, and I'll get you some more info soon. 

Weekend Asia Update -Steve
Asia has been all over the country in the last month, shooting a layout for Playboy, doing an East Coast Anime DVD launch ( she did the voice overs ), busy with Comdex stuffs....and then finally back home. As busy as she is...she never forgets about you guys. . . so she shot me over a half a dozen new pictures for you guys to enjoy. Damn she's cool...

WOW!!!

Busy week, I look forward to having some new pics and stuff in from Asia to keep all of you Asia fans in check. . .and I will be kicking off another big contest here soon...in the meantime, enter to win the Audigy and Speakers Setup and get in to win the 2GHz Keychain as well. . . the winners will be chosen in a few days.

Tue 11.13.01 -Steve
We are giving away the WORLDS FIRST 2GHz Pentium4 Keychain....that's right folks...I said Keychain. Due to an Enermax PSU that burned up from the inside out, we were very close to not having a Killer Gaming Rig #5!!!  Whoa!! But we are back on track ( with NO HELP from Enermax...they haven't even replaced their brand new bad PSU, and they haven't offered to replace anything their PSU burned up either...that was 3 weeks ago ) through the help of Intel, Abit and PCNut. 

ENTER THE CONTEST HERE!!!

I sent this guy here a letter telling him what I thought of a company that won't even return our e-mails... maybe all of you have an opinion of those type of companies too. Let them know how you feel about companies that won't even e-mail you back...but you get a cc'd letter from another vendor saying if you send them all the stuff **cough** they'll determine what happened ( yeah right ). With Enermax's reputation, I never occured to me that there is no warranty in their boxes and no warranty info or RMA info on their site. Oh well, like I said. . . I just let them know what I thought of that.

The winner of the Abit KG7 / 1GHz Duron will be selected tonight, get your entries in today. . . You still have till next Friday to win one of the three Audigy / 4.1 Speaker Combos, and I have a pretty special contest coming up as well, you'll be surprised. Working really over at the [H] right now while Kyle is away at Comdex and taking care of other biz, so if you want to stay up to date, come on over and visit...or shoot me a line.

I just got word in from Robert Stevenson over at iRock Entertainment that not only do they have a handful of new screenshots up from their upcoming Ozzy's Black Skies, they also have a 17mb movie that seriously kicks ass. . . I can't wait for this one to hit the shelves now for sure. If you have a decent connection, you need to download this movie and check it out... the soundtrack is gonna be hella sweet too. 

More Giveaway Goodness! -Steve
I kinda fell behind after the WTC Auction we held...getting that done was no easy task. And between working on reviews, doing news, normal everyday stuff, attorney stuff with my back injury, doctors visits...UGH, I let contest stuff slip a little bit. So here is our latest giveaway:

I have three Creative Labs Audigy X-Gamer / Inspire 4.1 Combo's to give away. They are hella nice soundcards bundled with a decent set of speakers. This contest is sponsored by ME, since I don't think the gang at Creative Labs cares about our giveaways, they have been invited several times, but always refuse... must be nice being number one.

I have updated my review section again, I have amassed an impressive list of product reviews. As you know, all my reviews are done at my other [H]ome...[H]ardOCP, but I link them all here so you guys can look over some of the stuff that has come through here. Have a look in the review section.

Weekend Funnies!!! -Steve
HOLY COW. . . I have had the funniest week, trust me. I have a big fat ol' contest coming up for you soon, as well as the full Killer Gaming Rig 5# update and details. I am putting together 4 Creative Labs Audigy sound cards bundled with some Creative Labs speakers as well. Contest fun for everyone.
