Just earlier today, my favourite PC Gaming Magazine, the Australian-made 'PC Powerplay', has recently given me an incentive to jump around my house like a lunatic for three days straight. In issue #100, which was released this month (June), they held "The Big Quiz" - a large selection of difficult gaming-related questions - to find "Australia's Smartest Gamer". What really caught my eye was the prize: "... you'll win ATI's hot new high end videocard...", which has turned out to be the blisteringly fast Radeon X800 series. Not knowing any better, I decided to spend an ardous three days going through old issues of PC Powerplay scouring for answers for the difficult questions. Some really stumped me, while others proved to be quite easy. Overall it was a well compiled competition (My favourite question was "In which game do you travel through a location called 'The City'?" I was totally confused by this, but it wasn't until I reread through all my answers and realised what it was; I literally jumped in the ear! Can you guys guess the answer?) On Thursday, the 13th of May (An unlucky thirteenth it was not to be
Can I tell you what a headspin that was. I jumped up and down and all around. Not only had I won the X800, something I could never ever aspire to purchase on my current salary. I am SO VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY! Thank-you PC Powerplay! Thank-you David and Bennet! --

w00t, congratulations! After I read the new issue of my favourite gaming magazine, I look through it again to find some contests (they usually aren't that big as the contest you won, tho), and start in them. Unfortunately (since about three years) I haven't won anything. Anyways, congratulations again. Woo, the Australia's Smartest Gamer is around us! -- Mod DB 1337 Polsky Man™ /// still here, lurking! |

Heh. Thanks guys! I don't know when the video card arrives yet, I'm still waiting for a reply from the editor of the magazine. They're probably busy with trying to finish off the latest issue, and putting together all the E3 new though. --

) I mailed my answers off to the PC Powerplay headquaters. It was on Wednesday the 19th when I decided to check my e-mail that I got a reply from a previous e-mail I had sent to PCPP. With my stomach in a knot, I read on: "Wow, just heard the good news - congratulations mate! Lucky bugger, you're going to have an ATI RADEON X800XT before me - you can see benchmark results in the next issue of PCPP. World's Fastest Videocard.". Hyped up and excited, I rushed to the forums, and lo-and-behold I gazed upon this.
