I am going to give the winners ( who have all been notified ) a
chance to get home and settled in before shipping off all the winning
Gift Certificates. I'll start our next contest very soon. Anyone have a
good suggestion for cleaning up cluttered wires? I am using 5 monitors
on three computers, two sets of speakers and an Xbox thrown in the mix
all networked on ONE desk. UGH... I have tried everything, I
need some advice.
Thanksgiving:
-Steve
It is the time of year when we should all be reflecting on the things in
life we are most thankful for... I am thankful for my friends, my family
and especially you guys. I thoroughly enjoy what I do here with
Hypothermia and HardOCP
and I try to show my thanks to you guys as much as possible through the
giveaways I hold here, but it never hurts to just say it...I am thankful
to have you guys around. Kinda odd that it has been 4 years and four
Thanksgivings together, here is to many more! Have a safe and wonderful
Thanksgiving!

Just two days left before we announce the winners of the Gift
Certificate giveaway. Someone should be very happy with that whopping
$500 one, but the $100 gift certificates are pretty damn sweet too. Get
your entries in before the deadline!!

I need to round up a handful of processors for a few upcoming giveaways.
It doesn't matter whether they are AMD or Intel processors...I know I
have done a lot of Intel stuff here over that last year, but that is
largely due to Intel being generous towards the community with
sponsorship whereas AMD hasn't been. Anyhow, I am looking to put
together a few decent systems to giveaway to you guys and I am in need
of processors...so if you know of a good deal somewhere or you know of a
sponsor let me know HERE.
Gift
Certificate a Day: -Steve
We are opening the Gift
Certificate a Day contest today. The way this will work is
simple, I have $1,100.00 worth of gift certificates graciously provided
by our local BB. I will give away a total of six $100 gift certificates
and one big grand prize $500 gift certificate. All the same rules apply,
just drop your name in the hat once a day per e-mail address and a
winner will be selected each day. All winners will be notified at the
end of the seven days, so make sure you enter each day. Good luck!

Everyone thought the "new console spoof" was pretty funny, I
guess it just goes to show you that any jackass can make a "new
console" in a few hours and try to lay claim to the Console Crown.
The scary part is, anyone with a small form factor mainboard and fancy
case can run around getting millions of dollars in investors
money...there are people out
there right now doing this as we speak.
New Console?
-Steve
Can it be? Another person taking a stab at the crowded console market?
We have unearthed some top secret photos that appear to be of an
"in development" game console. From what we see in these
pictures, it is proof positive of a brand new console that is 3x as
powerful as anything on the market today! Are these pictures proof of a
new console? Or is someone pulling your leg? Check it out:

O.K., we have the last Radeon 9600 contest winners selected...finally!
This clears the way for our next giveaway. I think I am going to do the $1,100
in gift certificate giveaway first and then the Star
Trek: Elite Force II giveaway next. I have my feelers
out trying to get my hands on some autographed games for your guys like Call
of Duty, Contract J.A.C.K, Half Life2 and
DOOM III.
On a side note, you would be
astounded at the amount of stuff we give away every year. I have never
went back and counted, but we give away thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of prizes every year. We hold charity
raffles and auctions, we do the Killer
Gaming Rig, the One
a Day giveaways, free autographed memorabilia, free
computers and so on...and the funny part is, I am the unluckiest bastard
on the planet. I have never won a single damn thing, ever in my whole
life. Isn't that funny? How does that work? Oh well, I got you
guys...and that is a big enough prize for me.
Kevin Smith
Interview: -Steve
I have been trying to snag an interview with Kevin Smith for the longest
time without much luck. I had the chance to ask Kevin personally for an
interview about 18 months ago...and he politely declined. I got the
chance again to ask him for an interview...and I struck out again. Damn.
I figure if I am persistent he will eventually grant me an interview or
get a restraining order. Better move on to Jason Lee.

We actually ended up with two of the Radeon 9600's not claimed...bust
ass and get your name in the hat, I want two more winners by Wednesday
to clear the path for the
next few giveaways I have scheduled, the Star
Trek: Elite Force II giveaway, and the $1,100
in gift certificate giveaway. Those should be fun, so hurry
to enter and
win one of the remaining two Radeon 9600's that have went
unclaimed.
11.06.03:
-Steve
After we finish up the Radeon 9600 contest, I have $1,100.00 worth of
$100.00 gift certificates for BestBuy. These are sponsored by my friend
here at our local BB but can be used anywhere in the country. The way it
will work is this, there will be six $100.00 giveaways and one $500.00
giveaway for a total of $1,100.00. Sound cool?
Autographed
Halo: -Steve
The autographed Halo games came in today, a big thanks to Randy
Pitchford and the whole gang at Gearbox
Software. We will have these shipped out to the winners as
soon as possible ( this week ) via FedEx. Until then, here is a
sneak peek at one of these bad-mofo one of a kind collectors items:

I have updated Asia
Carrera's Corner, with a
bunch of new pics, most have been displayed at some time or another here
on the front page. ALL the images you see here belong to both Asia and I
and were taken for specifically for Hypothermia and you guys. You will
not see them anywhere else...probably because they are all PG-13
pics.
