We’ve got the Fab Four here at Gamesville today! These four lucky Gamesville members scored some seriously heavy prizes and that certainly deserves a hearty congratulations! First off is Turtle662 from Ontario, CA (happy Canada Day, by the way!) who hit the Three-Eyed Bingo jackpot on Wednesday (6/27) to tune of $1,986! Next up is Judyjdmac of Cadiz, KY who won our CatchUp CoverAll prize on Thursday (6/28) of $570 and Karaluna1 of Bradenton, FL who hit the grand prize on Magic 21 to $4,999! Whoah! Last but not least is Bubblesb of Friendswood, TX who won our Monthly Sweepstakes and scored a sweet Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet computer so she can game-on-the-go!

That’s a total of $7,955 worth of cash and prizes. Holy smokes that’s a lot! Between the four of them they could purchase over 2000 pounds of Salt Water Taffy!

Congratulations everyone!

By the way, what’s the craziest/best/worst flavor of Salt Water Taffy you’ve ever had?

But wait, there’s more…

Monthly Sweepstakes reminder: next month we return to normal

Written by megadestructo / March 27, 2012 4:42 pm / 121 Comments

As many of you may have noticed, for this year we’ve been doing our Monthly Sweepstakes a little differently. The main reasoning behind this was to modernize and repair a few issues with how the old system worked; it was either that or take them offline altogether. Well that system is now back up-and-running and I’m reminding you all that we’ll be returning to our classic ways for the foreseeable future, starting with next month’s prize (to be revealed).

I know, I know: we have many fans of the blog-comment system but it’s really not as practical as we’d like it to be. The posts take forever to load, people end up commenting on the wrong post, and I have to count out each entry by hand and then randomly determine a winner completely manually. To say it’s a bit clunky would be an understatement.

But don’t fret, how we do our sweepstakes isn’t set in stone.  There has been a lot of good feedback and we’re taking that to heart. We may revisit how they work in the future (no guarantees and no timetables so please don’t ask), and if we do this feedback will be in our hands and at the front of our minds.

Thanks for being patient and taking part in this experiment. This will only lead to better things for Gamesville!

But wait, there’s more…

Enter our Monthly Sweepstakes here for a chance at a Dyson AM02 Tower Fan!

Written by megadestructo / March 1, 2012 10:26 am / 1,632 Comments

Yes ladies and gents, this is an actual fan! Well, okay, fan is the wrong term. According to Dyson (makers of awesome vacuum cleaners), it’s an Air Multiplier. A what? Yeah, me too! It uses some crazy technology that amplifies airflow with NO spinning blades. Are we living in the future yet? How long before I get my flying car?

With no blades it’s safe for pets and children and makes it easy to clean; that means no dust bunnies flying in your face when you just want a cool breeze! It also comes with a remote control, oscillation capabilities and variable airflow power (i.e. multiple speeds and it turns). How cool is this? It’s all the cool!

Enter our sweepstakes below!

But wait, there’s more…

DON’T ENTER HERE.

Fellow Gamesviller Loon366, of Opelousas, LA, is the winner of our awesome Makita Drill set! Way to go! I can only hope she uses it responsibly and doesn’t decide that ever wall would look better with a whole bunch of holes in it like I would do (I am a terrible handy-man).

Congrats!

But wait, there’s more…

Katmada wins the Blendtech Blender!

Written by megadestructo / February 1, 2012 9:03 am / 35 Comments

Congrats are in order for Katmada of Hamilton, AL! She is our first Monthly Sweepstakes winner for 2012! I hope that you’ve brought enough smoothie ingredients for EVERYONE :)

I want to also thank every member of Gamesville for being patient with us as we work on overhauling our sweepstakes system to be a bit easier to manage and organize on our end. I know this “new style” isn’t the most optimal but we really all do appreciate it! There’s no way we could ever take away those monthly prizes from you all!

Stay tuned for our next sweepstakes! You’ll be seeing what we’ve got in store a little later this morning.

Stay tuned for more details on our February Monthly Sweepstakes!

Yes, the image has been updated…and I’m sure you already can guess what it may be: something for the fix-er-upper! Details tomorrow morning! :)

And no, you don’t enter here. ;)

Enter our Monthly Sweepstakes here for a chance at a Blendtec Blender! *UPDATE*

Written by megadestructo / December 31, 2011 5:00 pm / 1,425 Comments

Post in the comment field below to enter the sweepstakes!

*EDIT* – We’ll be doing our drawing later tonight (midnight PST rather than GMT)  - which means I get to be up at 3:00am picking a winner! But that’s okay! This means I’ll keep the post open until then so you can enter RIGHT UP TIL 12:00am Pacific Standard Time! Then I’ll post the winner when I get into the office tomorrow along with a new post concerning our next Monthly Sweepstakes! Thanks for being patient with us as we work on this!

Have you ever tried to make a smoothy in your blender only for it to whither and fail when you threw in big chunks of ice? And then wonder how those blenders at those smoothie chains could not only annihilate anything thrown into it with ease but also live up to the daily abuse?

Wonder no more! Blendtec is here to solve all your blending needs with their 1560-watt food-destroyer!

If you want to liquify all your foods so you can drink your dinner through a straw, make snow from ice, or finally blend that annoying smoke detector (I call them a 9-volt battery slowly-drainer) you’ll finally be able to do it all. I’d be worried about having too much fun blending things that AREN’T food in here! Then again I’m kinda nuts sometimes.

Seriously, this is the most beastly blender that you can get without registering it with the Department of Defense.


 

But wait, there’s more…
