[QUOTE=conman420;31065548]In the grand scheme of things having more tickets doesn't increase your chances hugely. It's still pretty unlikely you will win.[/QUOTE]
Conversely, just because you have a small amount of tickets doesn't mean it's impossible for you to win.
OH FUCK DAMNIT I JUST REALIZED I FORGOT TO REDEEM MY TICKETS
25 TICKETS NOT REDEEMED
FUCK

It's not like there was anything worth getting anyways.

I wanted the TF2 glasses. :suicide:

That should've been the FIRST thing you redeemed.

Oh god I have 1 unredeemed ticket oh well who cares I didn't have those games anyway.
Only redeemed the game and TF2 glasses.
As much as Im trying to stay optimistic of winning, I have a feeling that just like every other contest I enter I'll lose :frown:

Expect defeat, outcome will be either good or plausible then.
[QUOTE=Arvuti;31065459]With 12 tickets ? Yeah, sure.[/QUOTE]Thank you, I also hope that you win Mr. Pessimist.

Or don't be fucking miserable and think realistically about the odds and that other people deserve it just as much as you do so it doesn't really matter. Getting the opportunity to win 10 games you'd probably never be able to afford together is a blessing in itself.

look up "job" in the dictionary (if you know what a dictionary is)

I'll look up "douchebag" while I'm at it for your sake. I have a job, most probably unlike you. If you can afford to buy 10 games from one paycheck I'll be fucking shocked. P.S It doesn't count if mummy and daddy buy your games for you.

Miserable ?
I had fun, bought couple of games at great price (enjoying them!), got some achievements, even helped a newcomer to Portal 2 to get taste of coop while getting one.
This contest is like "Maybe my mail will have something nice for me".
Great to win, if not, someone else is getting a handful of joy. Still good.

10 games at average price of 50-60 bucks is 500-600 bucks.
In here, it would be full paycheck from "somewhat" job, probably less than third or fourth of a proper one.
Still, people buy TV's when their raise kicks in, so ?
Also, why the hell argue about money ? Games are somewhat expensive hobby, so there is no reason to point it out further.

It was a fun event in general, I myself got into Portal 2 coop. It'd be awesome to win, but nothing makes me more entitled than anyone else. And forgive me if I generalise but most people on here are either too young to have a job or at an age where they'll be earning terrible money (myself being no exception, half a year or so till I will definitely get paid better) from part-time work. If I'm wrong I'll rephrase, I know for a fact I wouldn't be able to afford that unless I worked for what'd most likely be a matter of months.

o that's nice, you get paid minimum wage and part-time so nobody else is allowed to make enough money for 500 dollars worth of games in one paycheck, good to know
maybe one day you'll grow up not only physically but intellectually
you're probably just jealous and in denial because i actually have a PROPER job, lol
:zoid:
I love the people who bought games to get tickets.
you bought games so that you had a better chance of winning games, do you not see what you are doing wrong here.

I don't think people bought achievement games just to have a 0.001% higher chance of winning, if anybody did that (s)he's dumb.

I'm sure you do. I forgot the majority of FP is a 40 year old with a mortgage. Carry on trolling as if anyone values your opinion.

At this point I believe you are just posting here to start pointless arguments and to build a nice dumb fort. Since clearly nobody else seems to care about what you say. And I think you are forgetting the fact that there are a lot of countries where unemployment is a big problem.
When are they going to update?

I had about half of the games in the contest already, and bought a couple that I wanted anyways, good times were had :v:

Yeah, but there were some pretty good games in there and some for only $2.50. Even if they did do that they are getting more games on top of what they might win.
[QUOTE=Exilion06;31067176]But you did?[/QUOTE]

you're just whiny kids for the most part and i'm having fun fucking around with you
assuming i don't have a job and that it's impossible for someone here to have a well-paying job is the most naive and childish thing i've read all week, so how can i take this seriously
no point in arguing seriously with a dumb kid who's bitter because some people make real money
it's not even about making real money RIGHT NOW, he said nobody would ever make enough money to have an extra $500 in a paycheck, which i find hilariously naive
you can rate me dumb here but for posts like that i'll just consider you to be mad for being in the same situation
also unemployment has absolutely nothing to do with what i said, shows that you're also mad, can't even read because of it
:zoid:
Would you all please chill out? It's their money; who cares what they do with it. Don't start an argument over it.

I get paid monthly. I get $2000 in one paycheck. So, yes, I can afford to buy 10 games from one paycheck, and you bet your ass I did during the sale.
You should buy yourself a Windows 7 license with that.
[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;31068854]You should buy yourself a Windows 7 license with that.[/QUOTE]
I did, for $30 through the Microsoft student discount.
I'm on my work computer through a WinXP VM though.
Oh, good for you. I wish they'd make it easier (or at least faster) for people who don't have a .edu email address to get deals, I wanted to get a discount on Microsoft Office and it took them many weeks to send me the confirmation email.

Office is overpriced as shit even with the discount. I'm happy I still have a working MUFC key.
