ChAIR Shadow Complex Giveaway on Twitter!

[Flak]

Next week, ChAIR will be giving away free codes for Shadow Complex on Twitter. Be sure to follow them and tell your friends to follow as well!

http://twitter.com/ChAIRGAMES

We will also be giving away some codes on these forums so keep an eye out!

[Systemlord]

Since I avoid Twitter like a modern day plague im screwed there but on the forums too yay!
Too bad still have to wait :D

So excited!

[king-mark]

i would pay double to get it now :)

[Systemlord]

Do I hear triple?!

I keep checking back here like every 10 minutes to see if Flak says anything new. The waiting got worse :D

[Ronk!]

Man, now I'm going to have to check my Twitter account every 2 seconds while I'm at work. Guess I won't be getting much work done next week. Oops.

[akute]

I don't even know how to use Twitter. Plus if you want to see what I'm doing all you have to do is check XBL. XD

If I'm not on there I must be working!

[durden28]

I have to agree with the King, I would also gladly pay double. This wait is excruciating.

[Ronk!]

Maybe money isn't the right avenue to go in hopes of securing a code. The company's name is ChAIR after all, so with that in mind I promise to be kind and caring to all chairs all over the world. I'll even go so far as to establish an international organization for the protection and adoption of unwanted and abused chairs. Maybe I will call it Chairs of the World, or COW for short. With my nonexistant business savvy and unbridled awesomeness, how can I fail?

[TXPaladin]

I've already planned to buy this game but I'll do what I can try an win a code early and get in on the action. If I do get lucky and win a code, I might just figure out if I can buy a code on Amazon then and give it away some how after the game is released. ;)

[Ronk!]

Yeah I've been thinking the same thing. From everything I have been hearing/reading, this game is going to be pretty great. As such, I do want to support ChAIR, so they can go on to make more quality titles.

[Hooligunn]

I'm gonna try and win a code early so much haha. But if I have to pay, I really don't care - I just want it early!

[Lonebutterfish]

i have to be at school till like 11:00 pm est so please dont start till after that :D

[Ronk!]

I will probably have a permanent tab open on my work computer on this forum/Twitter all day on Tuesday reloading every 30 seconds in anticipation.

[king-mark]

lol same :D

[Hooligunn]

Same. There's tons of giveaways going on Monday / Tuesday elsewhere too. TeamXbox, Geoff Keighly, IGN..

Keep a lookout everywhere really. Hopefully everyone on this forum will have a good chance to win a code pre-release, as there are only about 10 of us here anyway :)

Yeah the forum thing is looking like our best chance seeing as there are relatively few of us. Just got to keep the secret for a little longer, so we can keep our collective odds higher.

[OGTiago]

I would like to buy this game actually. No give away for me.

[Nint3ndofr34k]

i followed them right after they announced it =)

[Systemlord]

I started posting some links to videos of Shadow Complex over on Shacknews to get more hype going plus to generate more word of mouth so it sells well so we can get sequels etc but didn't mention the giveaway here to increase my chances. I sorta feel bad but only a little bit :)

[XGS Che Guevara]

Hope I get lucky.

[blast]

Hope I get lucky.
same here .

[AcidReign]

I would love to get this game early, but i've waited so long now i guess another couple days is acceptable... if barely tolerable.

[TXPaladin]

It will be here before we know it... just the same I'll see if I can get lucky and then spread some luck around later.

[Lonebutterfish]

ccan you do contest now so i can win already? :p

[Hooligunn]

ccan you do contest now so i can win already? :p

Haha. I wonder if Flak will do any tommorow like most of the site giveaways, or if she'll wait until Tuesday.

Hope I don't spend most of tommorow staring at a PC screen for nothing tis all xD

[Gorlan789]

Haha. I wonder if Flak will do any tommorow like most of the site giveaways, or if she'll wait until Tuesday.

Qft :p. Ill be checking here very often in the next day or two.

[OrtanaIV]

Arggh, I don't have a Twitter account. Bad luck for me I suppose. :(

[Gorlan789]

Arggh, I don't have a Twitter account. Bad luck for me I suppose. :(

I don't either but I bookmarked the page and hope they just post codes with numbers/letters missing.

[Lonebutterfish]

Arggh, I don't have a Twitter account. Bad luck for me I suppose. :(

its going to be on forums and twitter. And why dont you just make a twitter account?

AHHH!!! FLAK!!!!!! when is it going to be happening? tomorrow or tuesday?

[DeAtHisLaNd]

Really nice contest for a GREAT game.

[Ronk!]

its going to be on forums and twitter. And why dont you just make a twitter account?

AHHH!!! FLAK!!!!!! when is it going to be happening? tomorrow or tuesday?

She did say the day before release, which means Tuesday. I'll be checking in periodically tomorrow though just in case.

[TXPaladin]

Shoot, I was hoping they would start today with some code giveaways...

[Hooligunn]

Shoot, I was hoping they would start today with some code giveaways...

They probably will since everyone else is.

[Ronk!]

Kind of hard to tell, guess I'll be checking in quite a bit today just in case. Oh well, there goes my productivity for the day.

[AcidReign]

Yeah, have a twitter page and xbox market place open at working hoping to get a code entered today also

[TXPaladin]

Started seeing some code giveaways surface already. Going to be a crazy couple of days I think.

[OrtanaIV]

So...when exactly is this going down?

[Ronk!]

So...when exactly is this going down?

It's supposed to be sometime tomorrow. No idea when exactly, just have to be vigilant and alert.

[OrtanaIV]

It's supposed to be sometime tomorrow. No idea when exactly, just have to be vigilant and alert.
Thanks for the input. Gonna stay on my computer all day tomorrow. Made a Twitter Account just to get a better chance at winning.

[blast]

im so desperate to win, but i probly wont be online.... :(

[Hooligunn]

I hope all of us win somewhere - there's only about 10 of us who don't own the game on this forum. Would be nice if they ensured we all get a code, since our numbers are so small, but just had the competitions on the forum for more of a "who gets it first" effect.

I wish there was a way to BUY the damn thing early, rather then get it free early haha.

[blast]

i wont be able to get this on release because i cant get the msp. :(

[Ronk!]

Yeah, although I doubt any of us have been around here for long, it would be cool if the core group of us who really are excited about the game could win. Is that realistic, probably not, but it would certainly be cool to all continue coming here to discuss our experiences with the game. I suppose it will all come down to what the contest is and how good our luck is.

Second that. I post a lot on the Gears of War Forum (6,000+ posts) and I'm going to become even more active here upon Shadow Complex's release. I signed up early, and I'm here hyping the game daily. So are many other people, including you and Hooligunn. It'd be awesome if we all got a code. :)

[Nitewalkar]

and that we all should

[Systemlord]

Beggars can't be choosers they say, so I will just plead a bit :D

Seriously though I can spare the 15 bucks, I just wanted sooner. But with just a day and half about to go I think I can make it heh. Still hoping I can play it well enough to not be aggravating with a console controller.

[Hooligunn]

Seriously though I can spare the 15 bucks, I just wanted sooner.

Same as me, I have the 1200 points (and more) sitting on my account ready in case I don't win a code.

[king-mark]

It'd be awesome if we all got a code. :)

Post of the Year :)

[ChairAdministrator]

Actually we're thinking of a contest for legacy members. ;)

[Gjeddekake]

Please elaborate "legacy members". :)

[Ronk!]

Actually we're thinking of a contest for legacy members. ;)

Well that's cool, but what signifies a legacy member? I signed up last Thursday, so I wouldn't really consider myself a legacy, but at the same time I don't think most people have been around for more than a week or two.

[AcidReign]

Please elaborate "legacy members". :)



Yes Please?

[Systemlord]

I have more posts then the ChairAdmin so I must be a legacy heh.
I was on the original boards but when they like merged I had to remake, oh well. :)

Playing A Link to the Past to keep my mind off the waiting.

[blast]

I hope I'm a legacy member. :)

[AcidReign]

Will it help our odds if we own undertow and loved Advent Rising?(off topic,yes, but a tragedy they didn't get to finish that series I went back and played it again a few weeks ago)

[Hooligunn]

Actually we're thinking of a contest for legacy members. ;)

Is that a contest that involves us all winning?

Hahaha.

Oh and for the record, I PURCHASED and loved Undertow. I didn't get it free :)

[king-mark]

i assume legacy means from the old forums?

[Ronk!]

Will it help our odds if we own undertow and loved Advent Rising?(off topic,yes, but a tragedy they didn't get to finish that series I went back and played it again a few weeks ago)

Man it's been a long time since I played Advent Rising. I remember liking it quite a bit even though it got pretty panned by reviewers. Didn't it have some sort of contest where you could win a million dollars too?

Yeah, that didn't pan out so well, probably a contributing factor to the no sequals. I remember spamming the forums during that contest.. On the plus side though, most participants got a few free majesco games since the contest failed.

I didn't pick it up until quite a few months past release, so I didn't even investigate it seeing as there was no shot for the big moneys.

[Hooligunn]

Chair just gave away a code on their twitter, but made it an @ so I didn't see it in time (only see it if you were on their twitter).

Sucks so hard. Hope there are more tonight, or some forum contests for us today.

Actually it wasn't ChAIR, they were just retweeting someone else who was giving away a code, they just didn't do the retweet quite correctly.

OIC they forgot the RT. PHEW.

[benswimming]

Hello all! I have been following shadow complex non stop, and just so happened to see if there was an official website. I finally found it! Hope the game is gonig to be as good as it sounds!! They gave away 2 shadow complex codes on 1 vs 100 sunday night, but I did not get one :(

[OrtanaIV]

I'm assuming a legacy member is one who was here back when the original forums were up,

[Ronk!]

That would make me a sad panda. Perhaps they will also include those of us who are clearly the most active as well without being spammers.

[OrtanaIV]

I think that'd be the best thing for them to do as well, personally. We're all rather active, and we're all psyched for this game, so we should get a shot at winning a code. lol, we sound so cheap trying to find all these methods to get the game for free. :o

Hah yeah I suppose, but I just like to think of it as being potentially rewarded for our fandom and passion. Anyway, in the long run, our ravings can only help them boost their sales, which is a good thing.

Well the folks over at the Epic Forums are very generous to their fans. Hooligunn, Gorlan, and I (excuse me if I forgot anyone else) have all received various goodies from the Epic staff for our dedication and continuous community support. I mean, I may fail at putting 2 and 2 together here, but Epic technically owns Chair. I know they're still their own division and still make their own decisions, for the most part, but who knows, maybe they'll follow suit and be generous as well. ;)

Well, I will cross my fingers and hope for the best. In the mean time, I've been boning up on my Shadow Complex trivia in hopes that something I read/memorize will help me tomorrow. I am such a nerd.

lol thanks for the advice. I suppose I'll start to do the same. Wouldn't it be something if I beat you out for a code? :p ;)

Hah, you are quite welcome, but there will be no ill will here. I know both you and I will gladly buy the game if we don't have luck on our side.

[OrtanaIV]

True. I'd gladly spend my cash on the game if I don't end up fortunate enough to receive a code. And if you ended up winning it, well then I'd congratulate you...and curse on the inside. :p

[CoDeeDee]

And if you ended up winning it, well then I'd congratulate you...and curse on the inside. :p

lawl, i laughed so hard.

[OrtanaIV]

Attention all Twitter users! Geoff Keighley is about to give away some Shadow Complex Codes. Follow his account and be prepared for a code!

http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley

Edit: Yeah, I'm nice like that. I probably just destroyed my chances of winning though. :o

yea. i recieved a hammerburst code a while back. the gears forums have some nice mods and its run pretty smooth. we get trolled alot over there though dont we lol

[OrtanaIV]

lol yeah tons of trolling. But the forums rock. The mods are awesome people who're generous and answer a lot of questions. The people, for the most part, are laid back and easy to get along with. A great place. Trolls are a problem though. Yikes.

Oh, and I was literally like 3 seconds away from winning a code on Twitter. Someone got there before me. :(

[Gorlan789]

Don't think ill be getting a code tonight :(. There's always tomorrow.

[OrtanaIV]

Don't think ill be getting a code tonight :(. There's always tomorrow.
The questions on Geoff's Twitter are relatively easy. It's a matter of typing them before someone else does. I don't think I got this one on time. I mean I got it like a minute after he asked it, but I know someone was faster.

[AcidReign]

Dang it, I wasn't watching! Thanks though OrtanaIV

[OrtanaIV]

Dang it, I wasn't watching! Thanks though OrtanaIV
Several more questions. Several more codes. You aren't too late! :)

[XGS Che Guevara]

Several more questions. Several more codes. You aren't too late! :)

Thanks for that.

[XGS Che Guevara]

I think they're done with questions now. :(

[Gorlan789]

I think they're done with questions now. :(

I think he would say that he is done.

[OrtanaIV]

I think they're done with questions now. :(
He takes a while to post questions. The gap between Q1 and 2 was over 10 minutes or so. If he was done he would've said so also, like he did earlier in the day. ;)

[XGS Che Guevara]

I think he would say it he was done.

Well he just posted something about a batman promo.

Kinda unrelated.

[Gorlan789]

Well he just posted something about a batman promo.

Kinda unrelated.

Hes probably just using this as a chance to promote it. There will be more don't worry.

[AcidReign]

unrelated note that game looks pretty good too.

What this guy said. I'm refreshing every few seconds lol. :D

[XGS Che Guevara]

Yeah, I already pre-ordered it.

[OrtanaIV]

Played the demo. The game was spectacular. A definite Game of the Year candidate in my opinion.

[Ronk!]

Played the demo. The game was spectacular. A definite Game of the Year candidate in my opinion.

The demo convinced me to put down a preorder, it's going to be some fun times soon.

if your talking about batman, It got such a good review from gamesmaster (a magazine over here) a website thought it was rigged :D

[XGS Che Guevara]

It's been 14 minutes since the last tweet.

I needz that code!!11

[AcidReign]

I derailed the shadow complex train! back on track... wish I didn't have to work on wednsday so I can play it asap.

[OrtanaIV]

if your talking about batman, It got such a good review from gamesmaster (a magazine over here) a website thought it was rigged :D
It really is an excellent game. Very well made and it's using a formula we haven't seen in a while. A breath of fresh air in a world filled with nothing but Shooters.
The demo convinced me to put down a preorder, it's going to be some fun times soon.
Mmmhmm, 2010 looks especially promising. From Shadow Complex's release and onwards 09 will be good.

did you see the joker gameplay? it looks amazing (PS3 only though)

[Gorlan789]

I don't know that either :(.

[OrtanaIV]

did you see the joker gameplay? it looks amazing (PS3 only though)
Naw, haven't seen that.

Oh, and the question he just posted is practically impossible.

[Ronk!]

Well a new question went up, no idea on that one, didn't even know there was a special song for Shadow Complex.

[OrtanaIV]

Wouldn't this question only apply to those who've played the game? I mean obviously if you already own the game you know the music in it. I find this a bit unfair to us. Unless I've missed something (probably in the Official Trailer thing, which I haven't watched yet.)

[AcidReign]

i found it, but prolly not in time...

The official trailer and all the others for that matter are ALL orchestral music.

There is no site on the web with this information.

Only people who've played it can know the answer by looking at the credits.

What a BS question!

[AcidReign]

i found it from google- they have a twitter page,the band..
do i tell you now?

[Ronk!]

According to Acid the Band has a Twitter Page. Well I guess that's just bad luck for us. I don't really think this was a proper question to ask, because there weren't any visible clues that could lead someone to the answer. He should've asked where Chair is located, what was the first game the Mustard brothers made, how many Gold Bars are in Shadow Complex, something that you could easily find an answer to.

[AcidReign]

Yeah, I was 1 minutes behind mellman

[Blud]

Where are you guys seeing the questions?

Yeah, that was a load of ****.

Hopefully there's another question.

[king-mark]

Naw, haven't seen that.

Oh, and the question he just posted is practically impossible.

1. i will pm you the gameplay

2. yes that question was hard

3. how many posts until i move up from junior member?

[Gorlan789]

Where are you guys seeing the questions?

http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley Have to have a twiiter account to answer

[AcidReign]

It was a lucky google search that sent me to their twitter.. so close and yet so farhttp://twitter.com/NSFailing its posted a few down.. garble...

[OrtanaIV]

lol I googled "Shadow Complex Band" when he asked that question and saw "11 Months never stop Failing." I assumed it was an excerpt of a longer sentence that google doesn't show you. Wow, it's like slapping myself in the face.

[OrtanaIV]

1. i will pm you the gameplay

2. yes that question was hard

3. how many posts until i move up from junior member?
1. Alright, awesome. :)
2. See my post before this one.
3. One more I believe.

[Blud]

thanks Gorlan

[akute]

IDK how to use Twitter properly.

How come people are winning and I don't see their posts, but mine are showing up making me look like a noob?

[AcidReign]

Slap in the face indeed. Maybe next question we can get.

[Gorlan789]

I wonder how much more there are.

[benswimming]

that music one was pretty hard....

[XGS Che Guevara]

I just listened to the song in question.

It was horrible. :(

[AcidReign]

I just listened to the song in question.

It was horrible. :(

LOL- well, thats your one bad side for the game, right?

[Gorlan789]

I just listened to the song in question.

It was horrible. :(

Link. I'd like to hear it.

[XGS Che Guevara]

Link. I'd like to hear it.

Song is 11 Months.

It's ok. Maybe after playing the game it will have more meaning.

[XGS Che Guevara]

It's ok. Maybe after playing the game it will have more meaning.

Perhaps for some.

For me it means doo doo butter.

[AcidReign]

It's ok. Maybe after playing the game it will have more meaning.

32 seconds in and not my kind of music.. But good for ChAIR to support local bands!:cool:

[OrtanaIV]

I'm going to play some Gears 2 now. I think I'll just wait for the guys at Chair to give away codes tomorrow.

[king-mark]

i have watched all the trailers and never heard that song :(

[Ronk!]

It is a pretty random bit of trivia, I bet it plays during the credits or something.

[AcidReign]

It is a pretty random bit of trivia, I bet it plays during the credits or something.

I guess the harder they are the better shot at finding an answer as opposed to an easy question where everyone knows it?

[akute]

I don't understand what he means by "@ reply." My post seems to be the only one showing up in his reply section, but maybe that's just how twitter works.

IDK but I feel like a douche with my post there...haha.

[XGS Che Guevara]

It's been 40 minutes.

Maybe he's done?

[AcidReign]

I hope not, but tomorrow is the ChAIR codes, so better luck there folks..

[Ronk!]

Yeah I think I'm about done waiting tonight. Got to get some sleep so I can get up, go to work and keep my eye out for trivia.

[XGS Che Guevara]

It's been over an hour.

Maybe he's waiting for the following number to go down drastically.

[ixchaozxi]

after winning 2 contests and getn nuthn but invalid codes ima b on twitter all night till i get a stupid code

[AcidReign]

after winning 2 contests and getn nuthn but invalid codes ima b on twitter all night till i get a stupid code

Heh, my offer to try em still stands!:D

[AcidReign]

Gah, missed another one!!!

[XGS Che Guevara]

Gah, missed another one!!!

Me too. Realistically that one would've been impossible. Whoever answered replied in less than a minute. That question was too easy as well.

[AcidReign]

A mere moment can keep you from a code. Thats so lame..

[ixchaozxi]

u stop refreshing for a second and u miss the whole thing

[XGS Che Guevara]

A mere moment can keep you from a code. Thats so lame..

Maybe Chair will be more forgiving when they give out codes tomorrow.

But I doubt it. ;)

[ixchaozxi]

ide rather them just give it out to random people that comment on the guys twitter page...or scramble to redeem it lol

[Blud]

Lol sucks I answered like a minute after the winner for the utah one

[AcidReign]

ide rather them just give it out to random people that comment on the guys twitter page...or scramble to redeem it lol

Yeah, just pick a random reply, not the fastest, kind of unfair. but such is life.

[ixchaozxi]

Yeah, just pick a random reply, not the fastest, kind of unfair. but such is life.

i shlda been playing it this morening but whatever......i went to see district 9 so it wasnt a total waste of a day

[XGS Che Guevara]

Won't happen to me again.

I'm refreshing every 5 seconds.

[Blud]

Won't happen to me again.

I'm refreshing every 5 seconds.

Lol, it would help to know the timing, like every 30 mins or something but its random as hell.

[ixchaozxi]

he should just keep givin question after question till all the codes are gone....


im sure he will say thats the last code for the night before he leaves...he wont leave people hanging all night

[AcidReign]

Hopefully not, but I don't really want to be glued to the monitor. Kinda bored

[Blud]

I'm hoping the next one comes in the next 20 mins, I'm getting ready to go to sleep, real tired.

[ixchaozxi]

i dont wanna wait another 2 hours like wtf

[AcidReign]

I wonder what the next question will be?

[Blud]

Damn, its been a half hr since the last, I think hes gonna give the next one later on =/

[ixchaozxi]

ill get off around 2 or if he says hes getin off

[Blud]

Hopefully he gives us a heads up when hes getting off.

[ixchaozxi]

yea....well hopefully th later it gets the more people give up for the night

[AcidReign]

Hopefully he gives us a heads up when hes getting off.

Yeah, that would be annoying if he didn't.:mad:

[Blud]

Yup, who is this guy anyways? Geoff? A dev or something?

[AcidReign]

Yup, who is this guy anyways? Geoff? A dev or something?

He's a journalist for gttv on spike, or gametrailers.com

He used to be on G4 a while back on some odd show.

[Blud]

Oh ok, thanks. You sure know your stuff lol, I'm clueless.

[Blud]

You'd think this guy gets a bonus for making us wait/suffer lol.

[AcidReign]

Oh ok, thanks. You sure know your stuff lol, I'm clueless.

Reading up for trivia answers! lol

[Blud]

Lol, so was I, I was looking at the about ChAIR games section, you should too.

[AcidReign]

I even looked into whats what in provo utah in wikipedia, sad..

[Blud]

Lol, sad we are indeed... I don't really care about the code being free n all, I don't mind paying, but I'd rather play tomorrow than play wed.

[AcidReign]

Thats the ultimate goal, i already bought ms points, im just impatient.

[Incognito]

I am also in it for the chance to play early, I already have $30+ in MS points... I just wanna play tomorrow rather than wednesday >_<

[Blud]

I think my F5 key is crying out in pain, all I need is one more question, whether I get it right or not I'm going to bed

[Incognito]

Yeah I set the tab with the twitter page open to refresh every 15 seconds lol

[AcidReign]

Yeah, im getting to bed here soon, cmon geoff, i want to win a code, then i'll stay up longer!

[Blud]

Lol me too, It's gonna be hard for me to flip the bird after tonight, my left mid finger is taking a beating :)

[Blud]

he should give two questions to end the night off with that and then let us get some rest.

[AcidReign]

What timezone is he in? its almost midnight here!

[Blud]

Its already 1 AM here, I bet hes probably sleeping lol and we're here waiting on him.

[Incognito]

I don't think so, he just had a tweet about 10 minutes ago :o

[Blud]

Cool hes up lol :)

[ixchaozxi]

i cant keep my eyes open...just...one.....more....code....please

[AcidReign]

The worst thing is i work tomorrow, so i'll be barely productive at all, too many forum/tweet refreshing!

[Blud]

Thats rough Acid, I thank god I'm on vac, if not I'd be sleeping, I can't function without atleast 6 or 7 hrs of sleep

[AcidReign]

I'm about to cave in to the sleeps... 5 mins and im out, goodluck tonight, and tomorrow.

[Blud]

Thanks, we'll need it.

[OrtanaIV]

Gave up on this a while ago. Wasn't worth the hassle.

[Incognito]

We'll probably have a better chance tomorrow but I'm gonna give it another 30 minutes before I go to bed as well. It's to bad, I was actually about to go to sleep before he posted the last question and decided I'll check once more just in case and lo and behold he had already given one away. :(

[ixchaozxi]

1 code or 2:00.....whichever comes 1st im outa

[Blud]

I was thinking the same thing, but my pc is running a much needed scan so I figure why not?

[Blud]

What about the forum giveaways, whens that happening?

[XGS Che Guevara]

What about the forum giveaways, whens that happening?

From now until 24 hours from now?

[Blud]

Well looks like most of us will be waiting till Wed., that aint too bad but I'd prefer to play tom.

[Incognito]

Yeah, either way I'm gonna be playing this come Wednesday it's just that the anticipation is killing me... haven't been excited for a game like this since MGS was announced on the PS1.

[Blud]

Same here. Oh well... we could still try. I thought I had'em with the Provo Utah copy and paste, only to shed a tear in the following minute when I wasn't the winner lol

[XGS Che Guevara]

My spider sense is tingling.

I think he's about to post another question.

[Blud]

Me too, but everytime I F5 and don't see it there, it seems farther away.

[ixchaozxi]

lolz hope so...im reading every review and watching every video while simultaneously refreshing twitter every 2 seconds....

[Blud]

Talented man lol, I'm just hopping back and forth from the forum tab and twitter.

[ixchaozxi]

idk what kinda question is gonna pop up...

[Blud]

Hopefully something I've already read :)

[ixchaozxi]

im actually taking notes...this is getting pretty sad for melol

[Blud]

Lmao, I thought I was the only one, I've copied and pasted possible answers on to the notepad

[ixchaozxi]

lol after having my hopes and dreams shattered this morning by invalid codes by from a stupid contest im determined....

[Blud]

lol thats rough, I couldn't handle that, I think I woulda sent an email to Obama asking him to get me a valid code

[ixchaozxi]

i just realized geoff is in cali...so its only like 10 over there...could be a long night

[Blud]

That sux, after my pc scan is done, I'm out =/. Stupid time zones lol

[ixchaozxi]

lol yea....

[TXPaladin]

Oh well, no code so far... always a shot at it for tomorrow.

[Incognito]

Yeah screw it, I'm going to bed... Good luck to those still in it.

[ixchaozxi]

i cant take it anymore...gonna pass out...whoever is stayn up good luck to u...ill be up in 4ish hours to do this all over again...fml

[Ronk!]

Gah, what's up with doing a contest at 3 AM? That's shenanigans.

[Di$array]

3am :O its 11am here.

[Ronk!]

It was 3 AM on the east coast when the first contest went up, it's approaching 7:30 right now. A little better time for a contest, even though I just lost the last one. Hmm, time for luck to start kicking in.

[Gorlan789]

Goodluck to everyone. Can't wait to play mine.

[king-mark]

Goodluck to everyone. Can't wait to play mine.

getting it on the first guess :eek:

[Ronk!]

Goodluck to everyone. Can't wait to play mine.

Thanks, and congrats to you. Now go play!

[Di$array]

getting it on the first guess :eek:

really :O what kind of magic is he playing with i wonder?

[blast]

I wish they would do a contest on these forums at a time to suit everyone. I think the last one was about 6:00am in the UK.

[Ronk!]

Kind of hard to accomodate everyone. I guess the best thing, which Flak is doing, is posting multiple contests at varying times during the day. Then everyone has a fair chance at at least a few of them. I'm sure each contest will be at a bad time for someone in some time zone.

[blast]

Yeh but I'm just saying we have no chance if it's 6:00am, because we do sleep!

[king-mark]

I wish they would do a contest on these forums at a time to suit everyone. I think the last one was about 6:00am in the UK.

i think it was 8am. The funny thing was i woke up at 8 and thought "i could go and see if i could win a code" then i thought "nah flak will be asleep" :o

[Lonebutterfish]

i want a code :(

[crowl]

Good luck everyone! Can't wait for you to play the game.

[Lonebutterfish]

Good luck everyone! Can't wait for you to play the game.

is there going to be more contests?

[Ronk!]

is there going to be more contests?

I would assume there would be, if there weren't going to be any more, I would think Flak would tell us, so that we could cry.

[OrtanaIV]

A contest at 3:00am? Really now...lol ah well.

[Lonebutterfish]

A contest at 3:00am? Really now...lol ah well.

yea hopefully they do a contest for people who actually sleep :) i want a code!!!!!!!!!

[OrtanaIV]

All the contests I've seen on the Gears Forum are held around mid-day Eastern Time, which is good for practically everyone. 3:00am, that's just....lol wow. What's funny is that it was 3:00am in NC at the time too, meaning that Flak must've been up pretty early.

[CoDeeDee]

You representin' NC?

[OrtanaIV]

You representin' NC?
Naw NY, but NC is in the same timezone.

[AcidReign]

Unlucky me, I just got here!

[Blud]

Geoff just posted he's giving more codes away today, keep your eyes peeled guys.

[Ronk!]

Oops, Blud beat me to it.

[OrtanaIV]

Yeah I saw that Tweet. I'll be keeping track of him. But right now, time for some Gears 2. :cool:

[CoDeeDee]

Naw NY, but NC is in the same timezone.

Thanks for that factoid!?
It feel like I'm a contestant on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"
The category is... Second Grade Geography!

Actually, I'm simply pointing out that when Flak posted the first contest she should've been sleeping, because it was 3:00am down in NC, further proving that the Contest was held at an odd time.

Adderall is your friend. It'll keep you up and energized.

Really though, don't take it. You won't be able to sleep for a while...

[OrtanaIV]

lol that's weird. Just checked my Twitter and Bioware (the creators of Mass Effect) are following my account. Why? Not sure...

[AcidReign]

Yeah, i have 11 followers, just joined couple days ago, and i don't know who 10 are, 1 is ign

[Ronk!]

Most of those are probably porn bots. Don't be surprised if they go away at some point because Twitter deleted them.

[OrtanaIV]

What's weird though is that I wasn't following them. I think usually how it works is if you follow someone they follow you back. Here, they just randomly started doing it. Meh, I shouldn't make a big deal of it though.

I started twitter and it's interesting to say the least. I was in Orlando tweeting from my phone and then people trying to give me deals on theme park tickets started following me. I was freaked out. Now I just get random ones.

[OrtanaIV]

Major Nelson's Contest is ridiculously hard. Wow.

[AcidReign]

Part 1, the rest comes later- be quick!

[OrtanaIV]

Already got part of it in my Redeem Code Box. Waiting for the rest. :D

[AcidReign]

which you choose, top or bottom, i went bottom code.

[OrtanaIV]

I put in the right code, but got a "Sorry this page is unavailable." Damn.

Edit: Chose top.

[Arhh]

I was going for the bottom one, I think the missing letter was G? **** I think I was close to getting it.

[AcidReign]

already redeemed bottom code.. dang it

[Lonebutterfish]

i chose bottom and didnt know what the ? mark was so i gave up

[AcidReign]

got page unavailable too..

[Blud]

F*ck, I was spamming numbers lol, and it was G!
