Author Topic: Thanksgiving // Christmas Giveaway 2013!!!  (Read 9879 times)

If I got the 2nd place prize I would love to use it to buy people that I know (family, my friends) gifts off the internet, since I don't have a checking account linked with paypal or any other way of paying for things online other than buying prepaid visa cards at gas stations.
I also don't have much money right now and I would love to get my family something better than from some quick stop at walmart or something.

To add to that, my older brother moved to about 10 hours away a year or two ago (and before that I didn't really see him that often either since he was either at college or in iraq), so the only way we can really keep in touch is through like facebook and steam.

The last time that I've actually seen him was last thanksgiving, so I think it would be pretty cool to be able to buy him a game on steam or something, considering I'm not sure if he's going to be able to make it up this year.


Btw, this is a really cool thing for you to do. I really appreciate the thought behind it.

I don't really deserve it, and can't because I have a lap top, so it looks like I'm out of luck.
sell it

you have to be 16 to win money or a graphics card? what?
because anyone younger would just spend it on club penguin
DUHHHH
Seriously, why 16

I'm 15, but I'll still write a short piece.

I don't feel like I deserve it more than anyone else - however, I would put this money into good use. I would donate 5-25% of it to a charity for needy American malnourished children, and the rest would go into my stash of money solely used for stock profiteering and LEGO set investing. If I wouldn't win the money, it'd still be just as good - if not, better! I would be thrilled to see that I got something, I would also be just as happy to see someone else win too. Thanks for doing this!


I would like to win, especially 2nd or 3rd place, because I'll be starting up a youtube channel and that's going to cost some money to get equipment and such. Hopefully I'll get my PVR next week and I have a microphone coming too. I'd use the money to pay a few people to create a profile picture, channel banner, and intro/ending for my channel.

I'm 17 by the way.

For those concerned:

I'm saying 16 because in most states that's the legal age for you to open your bank account, or have a paypal account and stuff. I do not want to wire money to a paypal account bound to a 13 year old who stole their parents social security card to open

Well dude, I have my own paypal account through my parent's sub-account they made for me.

well it's not like I deserve money or a graphics card but I'd sure love it anyway steam money would be great for gifts for friends this Christmas (yes and myself obviously cause I'm a sallfish person ;P)

I would be happy with any of the prizes, 3rd, 2nd or 1st. It'd be fantastic to win 2nd, and give a game to my friend so we can play together. 3rd would be great since I could myself some fun game. 1st would be great since my video card is my weakest link, a Radeon 7770

1st prize:
For the longest time I have been needing a new GPU.  This summer i spent a lot of time working for my dad and raised up a good bit of money, but when school started and I began driving my precious computer money began to slowly disappear into the gas tank.

So now, as I try to do as many oddjobs around here as I can, barely fitting them into my schedule, I am still not making any money.  I barely make enough to keep the truck fueled up.  Despite my attempts to raise money for a new computer all of my work has been fruitless towards that goal.  I am trying to be smart with what money I do have and prioritizing it, and I have some luxury cash,  but not nearly enough even for a nice gpu, much less a computer.  My main goal for my computer is to use it to make gameplay videos on Youtube, but obviously hardware comes first.

2nd prize or 3rd prize:
I would love the second prize because even though I would only spend it on games it would be a way for me and my brother to connect and play once I finally do get my computer bought and built.  We both have some games we would like to play together but he isn't willing to just spend all he has on games.

yea i'm definitely not yola.. I am a previous user, but I'm not Yola.

'cept i'm done being a raging friend to everyone.

i was drafted into the gulf war when i was 12 years old.
got my legs torn off by sadam's golf cart.
i returned home to a hero's welcome. my girlfriend was cheating on me with my brother, and she left me with a 12 thousand dollar phone bill.
i lived on the street for 2 years, sucking richard for mcdonalds burgers. fighting boxcar-joe for the non pee smelling corner of the dumpster.
my original blockland id revoked for being a friend, i resorted to carving legos out of used soap i found on the lockerroom floor of a ymca.
oh yeah and my richard got cancer. yes, my richard.
