A BIG WELCOME to the family from my corner of the world as well!!!

Kreij · Dec 9, 2011

So where's the shock and awe announcement, Bta?
You said later in the week and there's not a lot of time left in the week. lol

^This.

I can use this time to predict some more:
1 - TechPowerUp! is going to become a graphics card producer.
2 - TechPowerUp! is going to become a hardware cooler designer (CPU, GPU, chipset, whatever).
3 - TheMailMan is going to become a ÜberMod.
4 - Kreij's contest prize. (which I didn't enter yet, sorry...working on it...kinda)
5 - De.das.dude is going to start reviewing hardware.
6 - W1zzard will debut a cold fusion power plant.
7 - Erocker is going to space.
8 - TechPowerUp! will become accessible only trough an iPhone.

I had some more, which came up to me when I was meditating...but I cannot for the life of me remember them. It has been a busy week.

EDIT: 9 - Cristian_25H is really a media mogul and will start a TechPowerUp! Magazine.

Tick-Tock goes the clock

Kreij · Dec 10, 2011

Okay I figured out the shock and awe.

TPU has been purchsed by Ubisoft, and because of their DRM you are going to need an "always on" internet connection to access the forums.

Oh wait ...

AAARRRRHHHH!!!! :eek:

Oh, you were kidding! :laugh:

I think?

Completely Bonkers · Dec 10, 2011

A few posts late. TPU is already owned by EA... http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2479348&postcount=42

theJesus · Dec 11, 2011

No, I figured it out. TPU is now owned by Bethesda Softworks. Severe glitches (such as a disappearing NPC) will prevent you from completing any of your quests (such as finding out what the surprise is).

Kreij · Dec 11, 2011

Hmmm ... no word on the announcement and the week has passed. One can only conclude ...

LOL

qubit · Dec 11, 2011

It's a conspiracy Kreij. :wtf:

That tinfoil hat is now in place on my head and locked down tight, ready for the worst!

_JP_ · Dec 11, 2011

*reclines on chair*
Hmmm...W1zzard isn't leaving for real this time, is he?
