Re: Not to go off topic...

In Response To: Not to go off topic... (JAY132)

: I like Frankie, the more ruthless-sarcasm I see, the more I like him.

: One thing that does piss me off though, (and yes, I'm being a
: 'moaning-scouse') is that a good friend of mine (okay, brother-like
: figure) hasn't received his personal Mister Chief drawing from him yet.
: Back in June/July, Frankie ran a little contest in one of the 'Weekly
: What's Updates' that said that the person who designs the best Mister
: Chief car on Forza Motorsport, gets a personalised hand-drawn Mister Chief
: as a prize. I was also disappointed to see it didn't get a mention here on
: HBO, when many other less-interesting news items (my opinion) did. If you
: don't believe that it's good, feel free to add me on Live (JAY132) and
: I'll show you it (or even sell you a copy!). It's raced against none other
: than CJ Cowan, and pwnedizzled him! So please guys (I've dug out the
: related thread, the link to which is at the bottom of this post), give him
: a belated mention on here (HBO), and a simple acknowledgement to his PM's
: wouldn't go amiss either!

: I'd hate it if this were to sound selfish, but Halo is our favourite
: pastime/hobby. I've logged so many hours playing it on Live, that even I
: wouldn't want to know the total amount. We love everything to do with it,
: and piss ourselves laughing every week seeing Frankie (and occasionally
: Sketch) go off on a rant which tells us nothing about their next project
: (and this isn't sarcasm, we really do find it funny).

: We're buying an Xbox 360 on launch day, and the main reason for it IS to play
: Bungie's next project (and for me, plugging in my iPod). As much as we
: enjoy playing Forza, Splinter Cell etc, it's only through Halo that we
: even knew about them other games in the first place.

: Please don't take or perceive this as an arrogant, or even sarcastic rant
: (and I'm definitely not sucking-up, not in the slightest!) but I admire
: people even more when they're honest and atleast reply to enquiries. Now
: my friend hasn't put me up to this, this is just me looking to see if he
: gets his coveted prize, and maybe a worthy mention here on HBO. Apologies
: for not doing this earlier, but after nearly 4 months of hearing nothing,
: getting no reply, I just wanted to try and refresh peoples memories (I
: know how busy the people involved are).

I don't even really remember seeing that - but I DO remember passing over a couple of Forza cars posted about the same time - because we'd already posted 3 of them, and it was becoming a trend. This is one of the biggest behind-the-scenes headaches about this site; when someone does something fun, and we mention it, we get a TON of copycat stuff sometimes.

Whether Frankie ever comes through with the hand-drawn Mister Chief is really nothing we have any control over. I'm sorry about that. :(
