That would be me! Every day before my vacation, I’d log into mountaindewgamefuel.com site and rack up as many points as I could. I considered it my daily quests =) and it paid off.

Without any notification, email, whatever.. well my name was listed in the official list of winners for the mouse drawing I had entered for on 07/05/09 but I never checked there each day to see if I’d won. I always figured they would just send me an email saying as much.. but no. They just sent me my new Razer Deathadder gaming mouse in the mail!

It’s not the fanciest-smanchsiest mouse out there.. but it’s a great shape and size for me and the texture of the top is.. well hard to describe.. like a really really fine suede type buffed feel to it even though it’s plastic. For free it’s an awesome mouse =)

The amount of gold you can earn per day from click through stuff has steadily increased… right now it’s sitting at 800 gold (points) per day. I found a nice set of links for all the click throughs so I don’t have to actually go to all the facebook/twitter/myspace/other partner websites/etc to get the click points. There’s about 450 points of videos that take about a minute to click on all of too.

The chance of winning a Mountain Dew t-shirt or a messenger bag are pretty high.. but I spent most of my points on entries for the hardware stuff.. mouse, speakers, keyboards and a 100 or so for the Alienware laptop they give away one of each day too. There’s usually 2 or 3 million points entered for the laptop though so I don’t expect my 100 to win that ever.

I had resisted merging my warcraft account with a battle.net account.. but I did for the promotions and the battlebot pet/fuel. I figured that it wouldn’t be long before they required it anyway. The login trouble that plagued so many the last few days was only striking those that had not merged their account with a b.net account yet. A change from the early days of the merged accounts that had initially had login issues.

Hello from Florida!

Having a great time here.. unfortunately, I didn’t bring the silly USB multi-card reader with us as we had no computer here on our trip. Could have used it at this public library here in central Florida though to post some of the pics. There’s no SD slot but have access to the USB port suprisingly. Any way, we are having a blast down here, beaches, Disney World, sunburns.. ouch!

Should be back this weekend.. miss home even with all the stuff to do. Amanda and I are tired of the runnin around, I just wanna relax…at home =) I think the kids do too.

Heard that Patch 3.2 downloader is out. Maybe Tuesday? hmm? hmm? mmmmmmm internet connection high here. I miss the computers and so does everyone else. See you all soon back online or at work (yuck)!

Ways off, but…

I wanted to start reading up on the latest and greatest in building a computer. I imagine I am at least 6 months or more off of getting one, but with WoW having issues I need something to do. There was a website/forums that I used last time I built my computer and for the life of me I can’t recall it’s name. I think you turned me on to it Scott so I hope you know what I am talking about. I know you said you didn’t like helping people build a computer because you get jealous or whatnot so I’ll try not to bother you too much about it.
