Apparently I’m a lucky winner of a Windows 7 competition. And subsequently received a t-shirt and Windows 7 RC disk for my troubles.
Yay!
The letter reads:
Dear John,
Congratulations you were one of the lucky winners of the Road to windows 7 competition! Please find enclosed your Windows 7 T-shirt and your Windows 7 RC disc.
And some other stuff you don’t need to worry about.
I quite like the t-shirt, it feels pretty good. And what better way to make people think I’m a nerd by wearing a windows 7 shirt! Hooray! I’m not so sure about the RC disc. If I wanted to I could get the RC from the internet, and it’s going to start shutting down soon anyway so it’s a bit pointless. It would’ve been better if they gave me the RC and a subsequent product-key for Windows 7 so I wouldn’t have to buy it. That would’ve been a good prize, but alas they didn’t (at least, I don’t think so).
I’m still chuffed I won, I’m not really sure how many people entered (my guess is not a lot, if I won). And it’s weird to have another t-shirt sent to me not long after I received the Little Big Planet t-shirt… which I don’t think I’ve shown you guys. It doesn’t really fit me –it’s too small, for once- so I gave it to my sister. It wasn’t really my style either, too superfluous. I’m not sure where it is now, but I haven’t seen my sister wear it once.
Ok, I’m not meant to say this but I just had to squeal somewhere. I recently got to check out an extremely (pre-alpha) build of Brad Borne’s –most notable for being the creator of Fancy Pants Adventure- newest game: Fraser’s Ride. It was mainly for some control feedback, but the game was good. His exact words were: “And of course, you probably shouldn't mention anywhere that you've played it, heh.” His “heh” means I’m not sure if he’s joking (he uses ‘heh’ a lot), and the “probably shouldn’t” doesn’t explicitly tell me I can’t. So instead of posting on the forums, I post here to relieve the stress of keeping such an super-special-awesome secret. Which can’t really be counted as a secret anymore, since it’s on here. Still, no one reads this blog so I’ll be fine. Right?
