I don't understand this Giantbomb quest ordeal at all.

Any tips?

My first step was to watch their beta vid without skipping around. I watched it 3 times and it never gave me step 2.

Edit: page 117

How do you read a page with that many posts in it, I'd get arthritis running my mousewheel down to the bottom/top of a page that way :(
 
Removing post; my wife is fine and we're not living on the street! I think I could have phrased this post better, my bad sorry guys. Appreciate the well wishes. Continue on with bitching about the Beta ending on the 19th, what the hell Bungle

If I can't win one I might end up getting ODST. So are Giantbomb,G4, and IGN the only sites that are giving away beta codes?

We'll have some to hand out via our website, podcast, and Twitter. I don't think we're planning on making you jump through any hoops or anything. Pretty sure it's just going to be a matter of "right place, right time." We're going to be too busy playing the game to want to set up any kind of extravagant puzzles for you to solve. :)

So I spent about 10 hours today working on a spreadsheet for work, specifically working on formulas for one. The columns are all variations on the phrase "Unable to Reach." So after spending 10 hours looking at "Unable to Reach" I discover the car seatbelt is broken. Then I get home and my wife's hospital bill is triple what they had told us it was going to be. Then I see the Beta is ending on the 19th; I wasn't able to get time off of work until the 24th. Well fuck. You know, sometimes I think you just need to roll with it and laugh :lol

I am bailing out of this thread until Monday though, the F&F thing is already getting annoying, although it is definitely a bigger deal now since this thing is ending probably a good week or so earlier than we all thought. Tashi, I'll definitely be watching your livestream tomorrow God willing. Shake, I hope you get a code!

Reading this post, I think you deserve one more than I do. :(

Edit: should probably clarify that's :( for your shitty day and situation, not :( that you are more deserving.

This is the most cynical attempt to BAWWW your way into a F&F code I have ever seen, you should be ashamed of yourself

(No it isn't, I know better than that. That sucks, man :( )

Guys, we need to come up with a plan that prevents them from getting the data they need in just two weeks.

Here's my thinking: play every other game holding your controller upside down. That should give us at least an extra week, right?

Ssparks is updating it, I think.

Yeah, here is the podcast list. Would be so good if we got one on the next podcast. I still think other people on gaf submitted but I haven't seen or noticed. If you want to be on the list just pm me. I'v been trying to keep it updated but with all this beta awesomeness its eazy to get looked over.

Also if anyone wants to do some donging tonight I'll be playing some customs with my roomates your welcome to join. Gt- Laszio.
You can get embarrassed like VHFive

That sure beats my idea of 'not playing' in order to stare them of data :p

Whatever, you should be embarrassed.
 
To clarify my post since I'm getting PM's from people (I love you guys too): We have enough in our HSA to cover the charges if barely, I don't want anyone thinking we're out on the street or selling stuff or anything. We lose our non-direct financial savings, but that's what it's there for in theory. Also I posted this before as well, but my wife is perfectly fine now, it was a one-off situation and not an ongoing condition or anything like that. Thanks for all the well wishes though, it means a lot.

Also it's ironic that I work for an extremely large medical insurance company, and our employee coverage is shit, and I work with our external employer accounts that are like 10 times better than ours :lol


BACK ON THREAD TOPIC: Hey urk, you guys should sell a t-shirt that says "The Beta ended on May 19th and all I got was this lousy shirt".
