That laptop is majorly sexy, Mara. Yes, I'm just catching up now.

And now I wants one.

Mine went to repopulating my bank account. But I might just use the Best Buy card to finance it. Hrm.

Since I'm no technoman, what's better? Yours - the Core 2 Duo - or the one with the Core i5?

I've been wondering about this... if someone gets disqualified, the next highest bidder gets the item... but what if they won another item? how the hell does that work?


Very few, if any, people won more than one item - and you are allowed two.
I think the problem is unlikely to arise.


No, I mean simply the token totals will not match... they will basically be getting a prize for FREE


Oh.

Then probably the NEXT person on the list?

Clearly not.


Crap.

Well, I made people happy.

And I got to hang out with cool people.

I still won stuff. ^_^


And he got to see exhausted, punchy people do silly things at the wee hours of the morning, like wondering what to do when we hit page 1337 on this thread.  :o


Wait..what?  *goes to page 1337 now*

Darn, too bad fishmoose! I hate SNIPERS! Even in FPS games!


  Heeeyy

Haha, I guess you like playing snipers then? You ever play Battlefield Bad Company 2? Way too many people play snipers in that game. I was in a squad once and I was the only person NOT a sniper.


I was a Planetside sniper.  Spent most my time in a stealth suit with a TR repeater sniping across open fields.

I used to play Planetside years ago. Is that game still going?
I liked playing a pilot in that game, but got tired of baby sitting the Transport ship while everyone else was playing.


yep, down to one server now

Someone actually had enough tokens to win 2 prizes? I saw in the rules that 2 wins were allowed, but did someone actually do that?

Yep. Ecliptic Demios won the Bioware lit pack, and then won the next auction right after wards - the ME novels pack. It makes no sense. His bids were also 9.5k each.

But what if the person had really wanted that item and only lost out because they were outbid? I would hope they get the choice of getting that prize and losing the other one? Which would then mean that the person who was behind them in the other auction would win? I don't know it's just immensely complicated

*ugh* That reminds me, I have to stop procrastinating on my taxes.  Either I have to get it all done tomorrow or file an extension.  :pinched:



Don't remind me. I've been nagging my husband to do this for 3 months.

Honestly, since most games don't take advantage of 2 cores, let alone 4, it doesn't really matter. Sure I cant run everything maxed out at 60fps but I play BC2 multiplayer at 30-40fps with everything max (except shadows low and HBAO off) with 2x AA.
