bluedotlounge is a busy guy so don't worry if you don't hear from him.

yea... posting a message just to check, not in any way wanting to rush him or anything

He may also be waiting for the end of the month since a lot of people are still collecting and doing make-up.

(I still have a bunch of cash I collected to deposit and then put into it)

Yeah he is busy. He has a job, and loads of prizes to raffle off and get sent off. The man raised over $1,000, so this is no small task.

If he does it like last year, when he has everything figured out, he will post a list of names that are winners (which will probably be almost everybody). You then email him your address, and your package will come.

It sounded like he was doing something a little different this year with a turn by turn system first, then raffling off the rest of the stuff.

Yes, I am busy, but I'm sure I'm no more busy than the most of you. As some of you know, I'm a freelance games writer for Machinima, GamePro, Complex, and G4 (among other sites).

I'm considering making November 19th the cut-off day for my donations. Also, folks like Capcom, Square-Enix and Aniplex have expressed interest in helping out, but haven't come around to sending product, so I'm giving them extra time.

Thanks for the update! I'm sooooo excited for this! Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss my chance.

Thanks for the update!

Just want to apologize the winners from my drawing, I apologize for the delay as some issues have come and will delay me sending out the prizes. I didn't forget about you guys, and will try to get them sent this weekend.

Again I apologize.

So, just curious how things are shaping up for everyone. My raffle is looking like it's dead because only one person donated so far. :( Not sure how to get more people interested.

I'm still anxiously awaiting more raffle/prize info! It'll be like a mini Christmas before the real one Sorry you aren't getting donations though. I guess after the initial push, people have lost interest.

Thanks for keeping us all in the loop for prize winners. I know that's not what it's all about, but it is a nice bonus for the people who donated! Great job everyone!

it's past the 19th... so I don't win anything?

Everyone will be contacted one at a time by random order, and each person will get to pick one (1) prize from what ever is left at the time.

I think that it will take at least a couple of weeks to get through everyone if it works as stated above (from the OP).
I would guess late this month or early next month would be the time to start thinking that it's running late.

Since everyone is going to get at least one thing based on the size of bluedotlounge's donation list, I think that it will be worth the wait!

Anyone heard from frostybroc? I was hoping to get Sonic Generations as my game of choice, but Gamestop has a Black Friday deal on it. Not sure I can hold out and miss the deal lol

Anyone hear from bluedotlounge?

I was wondering about that too, but i'm going to say so far no word. Negative ghost rider, the pattern is full!!! I'd have faith in him, sooner or later he'll catchup, and with the list of prizes and stuff, its no wonder he has his hands full! ( I think last year it took 4-6 weeks of contact, emailing address, what system you prefer etc, and then he has to ship the stuff out).

Also remember he does review games for a living so he's been more than a bit busy lately I'd imagine . He will get it all done.

Yeah, taking longer than I had expected, but I don't see any reason why he would bail. I mean, seriously, what is he going to do with like 10 copies of the same games over and over?
