Lol, keep trying, I have an XFX PSU (Seasonic OEM), maybe you could go out and buy some products to increase your chances :clap:

RCoon · Dec 19, 2015

Just started the judging. I was in a super serious conversation with a coworker, and then I started reading @dorsetknob 's entry and started laughing uncontrollably at the completely random chaotic mish mash of sentences I was reading. Seems to be a good mental exercise for a gloomy Saturday afternoon.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Dec 19, 2015

Me and @dorsetknob ....we are going shopping for products together.

STRICTLY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL ON BEHALF OF OUR SPONSER XFX

theJesus · Dec 20, 2015

I wish this would have had a few more days on the deadline. I'm finally done with my projects for work, but it is too late.

Oh well; my current GPU is more than enough for my needs anyways.

Tatty_Two · Dec 20, 2015

I am delighted to announce that we have a winner! Firstly I would like to thank everyone who spent their valuable time to make an entry at what is a really busy time for all of us. I would also like to thank those of you who supported the competition and this thread and in doing so Dean's memory, more thanks goes to XFX for their generosity in providing us with the prize, and lastly (honest) I would like to thank the judges who spent some difficult time antagonising over some really high quality pieces of work.

Ok, I am pleased to announce that our winner is @Ahhzz :toast:

Thank you for ending Kreij's story so well. I would also like to thank in particular @Frick , @rtwjunkie and also @Easy Rhino for making the judges job so difficult with such high quality entries. If the winner could message me please with full name and address I will send it over to XFX so they can despatch your shiny new graphics card ASP.

Once again, on behalf of myself, Sneeky, Norton, RCoon and all the others that contributed to this competition in the memory of our good friend, we thank you all and have a very Merry Christmas! :lovetpu:

Ahhzz · Dec 20, 2015

Holy Hell in a handbasket!! No way!!! That's amazing!!! Thanks so much @Tatty_One ! I don't even know what to say!!! Thanks to XFX and thanks to the wonderful soul that convinced them to give up a new card for Dean's memory. I really didn't think I had a chance when I saw so many wonderful entries, but if nothing else, I owed it to Dean to at least put a story out there, especially since it really was fun to stretch the mind a little and try to give an interesting ending.

For someone who didn't know what to say, apparently, my mouth tends to run it self.

I really appreciate the giveaway, and all the effort that went in from everyone who participated in any way. All fun and thrill aside, Thanks Kreij. It wouldn't take a stranger long going back over the many, many posts you donated here to see the person that you were. That person was upbeat. That person tried to raise other people's spirits. That person was a good friend to so, so many people here. There's always something in me when I log in that hopes Special K is hanging out somewhere, drinking a beer, and making funny faces at us. I didn't know you half as well as you deserved, but I promise I try to make up for it every chance I can.

Thanks.

rtwjunkie · Dec 20, 2015

Congratulations @Ahhzz!!!

. Your win was well-deserved!

Thanks @Tatty_One, @sneekypeet and @RCoon for the idea and the time you spent judging, and for allowing us to stretch our creative wings and finish Dean's story!

Big thanks to XFX for donating the card to such a worthwhile cause!!

All the stories were very good, and I was honored to participate in this endeavour.

theJesus · Dec 20, 2015
