Haha. I hope he isn't as good as winning random prizes as he is at winning actual Nintendo World Championships competitions.

You would have to make 5 separate orders to get the 5 entries.

Or you could post 5 different videos.

Or 5 different blog entries.

Or any combination of those, 3 purchases, 1 video, 1 blog.

You can't get more than 5 entries.

Some people mentioned that they wanted to enter but they live internationally. I decided to open up the contest any everybody, not just people living in the US.

Thanks for your feedback.

"Open to legal residents of the United States 18 years and older"

You guys have no idea of how much I HATE that sentence...

With a collection like that he must be on DigitPress of NintendoAge. Anyone have a more impressive collection to showcase?

We've just put the finishing touches on our gameroom. The only thing we haven't done is the ceiling and we're not really sure we're going to do anything with it anyway.

I'll try and take a video tour of it this afternoon. Better than getting lag-unblockable AHVB'd to death anyway.

I'm excited to see it. As a teaser, how many games do you have?

You just beat me to it.

I just sent the emails out to the winners. I don't recognize anyone on the boards from the email address. Be sure to check your junk folder though because the email talks about "winning prizes" and there is a good chance it would be marked as spam.

Thanks for everyone's entry. It was a fun contest. Obviously if you win, let us all know.

Is there going to be a posting of the winners? I would love to see who won.

I was thinking about something. If just buying something off the site meant an entry then it's possible the winners don't know about the contest. That being the case, you might want to send out some followup emails because I know that if I got a random message from Amazon or something saying "You won $1,000,000" I'd junk that pretty quickly.

Better than me. I actually got teased. Right after JJGames said he sent out the winning emails I check mine and see a fresh email from none other than JJGames with a timestamp about 30 minutes prior to his post here. I open it up and it says, "Thank you for your entry. Good luck." I immediately began to laugh my ass off.

I will definitely be sending out multiple emails to the winners because I think quite a few of them don't realize that they entered a contest. I will also be sending a letter letting them know as well.

If winners don't come forward for the prizes after two weeks I will be redrawing names for the remaining prizes.

Well, I saw it earlier, complained about non-US residents being ineligible, the rules GOT changed...and I lost track of this thread, and never found it again to submit my blog. My fault, obviously. But sad, nonetheless.
