[quote name='killer9']anyone ever get there magazine.com cards from when they were available again back in june or july 08 i ordered 20 never got um[/quote]

I ordered one and got a ticket refund as they said they ran out. I was gonna buy comic books. :(

Oh, got my Ogio bag today. It looks really well made and good for a weekend trip.
 
[quote name='kaydensmom69']i'm a week away from a zune and have had no real life experience with them. which of the accessories would you recommend i order along with it?[/quote]
i agree. im new to theses. what do i need to get the most outta it?
 
Congrats on the Zunes, guys. I'm still grinding my way towards that goal.
Don't know if this is any help to y'all, but someone asked a similar question earlier in this thread and received the following response:

[quote name='pyoobez']I've received the cable set and the car pack so far. I ordered the dock, but it hasn't arrived yet.

The cable set is worth it, definitely, imo. It comes with an extra charge cable which is handy if you have a 360 and also comes with the cables that plug it into a the AV jacks. Finally, it comes with a male to male headphone jack to plug it into speakers or stereos.

The car pack is nice, I don't even have car, just had a lot of points leftover and do go on trips with my parents sometimes so I figured it would be nice for that.

Haven't received the dock yet, but it looks nice and useful for traveling.

Oh, and if they put the brown leather case back up by chance, order it. It comes with code for a free zune track. Plus, it's a nice sturdy case and apparently Zune's scratch fairly easily.[/QUOTE]

As for the case, there's a very good chance the Zune case will never return. If there's an fye nearby, check 'em out. The one here, at least, has a ton of Zune/iPod cases (third party like Belkin) on clearance for 88 cents.

Again, a case is pretty much a must to avoid marks. White's obviously scuff easily, blacks apparently scratch easily.

Oh, and although not offered, you're probably gonna wanna get a screen cover for it. It comes with one, but it has some stupid starting text written on it. I'm lazy and ghetto, so I still have that on.

An ipod.......




Thats for that insanity/homicide comment :)

Seriously though, i would definetly go for the dock, the other two accesories LSC offers are cool and if you have the points then why not, but I think the dock is a must buy.


BTW.....NEW ITEM ALERT......GOLF BALLS!!!!!

I ordered 50 way back. I never got em, or a refund.

LOL!! Sorry about that, I remember seeing them a long time ago like around summertime, but I swear I have not seen them since.....I suck.......

Lving up to rep of his namesake? :p

In your defense, mrmagoo1975, the golf balls used to be hidden in that sports/games subgroup. I guess the other two items are OOS now.

I'm hoping that all these vanishing items are gonna make room some new prizes (or even returning favorites). Knowing my luck tho, it's more likely to be the beginning of a drought.
 
Took a picture of all my prizes I've received. These are just overstock items I'm not using, except for the Xbox 360 and coffee maker.

When you say 'hidden in that subgroup" you mean once you clicked on the netball game then the golf balls would come up? Well there you have it, I knew I seen those golf balls last summer but then they "disappeared" so i assumed they were gone, and I thought that netball game thing looked so cheesy (like something you would find at walmart or worse a dollar store) so I never had the desire to click on it. Plus, if I were to pick a prize to put the golf balls under as a "hidden subgroup", the netball game would be the last on i would pick.

I wonder what other treasures I have been missing out on because of "hidden subgroups"? :whistle2:k




Oh and "CUPNOODL" thats quite a haul you got there, and I laughed REALLY HARD when you refered to some of your items as "overstock" I too have a bunch of stuff (mostly 360 related things) that I dont use either, my closet looks like a distribution center...LOL

How'd you get all of that? It's taken me a really long time to get enough points for a copy of office (sold to get a 360), and my zune. That's with the autotyper.

I have been playing around with my zune and have been rather disappointed with it. The hardware is okay, but the software is a real pain. The zune doesn't work with any other software, but it's own. I would have expected it to at least work with windows media player. The main complaint I'm having is that the software isn't following my file structure. I have all my albums in folders, but it is taking most of the songs and listing them each as an album. The fix for that problem would be to retag my entire music collection. It would be nice if this worked like my creative zen v plus. Oh well, it didn't really cost me anything.
 
Most of the stuff I gotten months ago (headphone, keyboard, pc 360 controller). I have multiple accounts and 1 main account, which I ordered the 360 with. All my alt accounts I keep playing till i reach 10-15k (sweet spot) and just focus on my main account which I play every day.
 
[quote name='erehwon']The fix for that problem would be to retag my entire music collection. [/quote]

If you decide to do that, I'd suggest MP3Tag,
http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html
It can automate a lot of the process if you collect albums.

I feel the same way about iTunes and any other "required" software. I'm really anal about my files and directory structure.
It's time consuming to re-tag everything, even with something like MP3Tag. It's well worth it though.

FWIW, with my iPod, I use SharePod. I don't need iTunes mucking up all my hard work.

Hahaha! See I'm not the only one. I need to show this post to my girlfriend because she thinks I have serious OCD when it comes to my music collection being organized and every single file being properly tagged. I give her shit about hers all the time because it aggravates me how messy she keeps her collection improperly tagged and misspelled straight off the internet... um, legally obtained of course... yeah.

I also use MP3Tag... definitely cuts the time it takes for sure.
 
I just started this tonight. What games are best for collecting points? How many hours does it take for you to get 1000 points in one day? I've tried a few games, most I can't stand. I like the Picture This one because it goes fast. But matches are tough sometimes because of pictures being too similar or the person picking something that defies reason. I don't know if I'll be able to get enough points fast enough. I'm going to have to see how many points I can get with that game in 1 hour. For kicks I tried an experiment I kept choosing no good picture, over and over and keeping the same partner well they didn't pick up on that and we went thru 3 wasted 0 point rounds before I quit the session. I wonder if our partners are always other humans or bots picking a random picture. Edit: Weird no matter how many times I hit enter I can't make paragraphs in my post for some reason.

If both you pick no good picture, you both get 0 tickets for that picture. Anyways, I do chicktionary, and with the new one(fast loading times) i get done in an hour now. But I get 999 in chicktionary(keep a calculator app open to keep track) , play one flexicon game and get another 10 from the search bar thingy so 1034 daily.

Oh you don't get points for that. I've never made a no good picture match so I didn't know. I usually just press it when there really isn't anything close to the words but the other person always picks something. Thanks, I'll try chicktionary then. Wow an hour that's great. That's about all the time I want to spend on it a day and just to get a 360.
 
[quote name='dragoon99']I'm pretty sure it's done with multiple accounts. An impressive haul. How long did it take to get the 360?[/quote]

Yeah I used multiple accounts with different addresses. That 360 took me about 3 1/2 months. Only because I took a long break during the LSC drought.
 
Seeing that picture made me regret not using multiple accounts. However, I can barely stand playing these games for even the 1000 daily on my single account, so I'm somewhat glad I don't have multiple accounts.

Either way, I'm not even sure what I'm aiming for at this point. It's not like I need another 360, and I'm not completely interested in a 30gb Zune. Here's to hoping that they'll update with some decent stuff.
 
Mrwonton91 do you get 100% on chicktionary game? The best I could get so far is 91% and I hit skip because I'm too tired to continue and it only gave me 10 points. :( How much do you get for a 100%? Do you get any points if you give up?

Use websites like http://www.anagramssolved.com/anagram-solutions.html to give you the answers. All you have to do is type them in.
 
How is the Zune that you receive from them? I mean, any MP3 player like that is a decent score, but I was curious since it sounded like one of the older models. Is it only the size that is different? Or have any of the specs actually changed (better screen, etc)?

Am thinking about going for it after I order the 360 today, but not sure if it's worth the trouble considering I already have a few other mp3 players, especially if the LSC one is an older model. If the only difference is memory though, then I may go for it, as I'd love to have something with a large screen for movies on long trips.
 
I've had my 30GB Zune (bought off woot cause I have no patience) for a year now and I love it save for some odd battery issues cause it's old and the mp3 tag thing. There's only a few differences in hardware, and the software is the same for everyone. The newer generations of Zunes are smaller/flatter but have only a slightly bigger screen. The smaller capacity Zunes are only a few centimeters larger than an iPod Nano.
 
I got my zune dock today. This is a pretty good accessory to get since it includes both the dock and an ac adapter. It's too bad they don't have a case to save up for. That's one thing I need to track down.
 
Thanks for the replies. I may give a try towards the Zune next. Just ordered the Xbox, so hopefully I will get one at some point. *crosses fingers*
 
I've had my Zune for over a year, and I really like it. It does what I want it to do, and it's durable enough that my six-year-old hasn't destroyed it playing games. In fact, I'm working toward a Zune for him, so I can have mine back. :D

Thanks for the link. I was using a different site last night and it wasn't coming up with enough anagrams it only got me to 91%-97% per puzzle which was really driving me nuts because the missing word would always be one of the 5+ letter ones.
 
has anyone gotten their vista without a email confirmation or shipping confirmation its been 17days and i havent received my vista. I didnt get a confirmation but shows up on my settings of prizes i order from 1/25/09 was the 28k ticket vista. Will i still get my vista soon because i havent gotten a confirmation the first day i ordered it. Im getting worried.

like it says in the email:
"Please note, in most cases prizes will be delivered 8-12 weeks from the date your order is processed, unless your prize is in limited quantities, backordered or out of stock."

so relax!
 
I found a way to mute the flash games. I installed Flashmute , the only downside is it mute the whole browser. Turns out if you install Google Chrome browser, it not muted. You can now watch online videos with Chrome and play the muted games with the Firefox browser :D

For some of the puzzles, some of the words are PG-13, and some are proper nouns that are disallowed by conventional Scrabble rules. I've had "nancy/nance", "merde", "peeing", "Jesuit", "haole" and so forth. It made me nuts, too, but eventually, you'll learn which puzzles require these words. And the "legible" puzzle is just broken, and you'll end up with 17 points if you finish it.

For puzzles where you get 19 points, you can do one search, or two games of Dingbats and one of Seekadoo, which will bring you back to the even score. It's also a good way to break up the monotony. For 18, that's four games of Dingbats and one game of Clink, or two searches. And so forth. The Wikipedia article on LSC has the points-per-game breakdown.

I got Opera 9, and when I mute it in the Windows Vista sound options, it stays muted... even if I close the prog down, restart, etc. Opera apparently recognizes it's supposed to be quiet. :cool:

Oh, I got my Ogio bag the other day with no confirmation. I got the first aid bag today. I ordered them on the same date, the date that the first aid bag showed up. The first aid bag is far from great, but I just got it for my mom to keep in her car.
