Thanksgiving Freebie! Winner Drawn!!!

[BlueBMW]

A winner has been drawn in the legendary Sapphire freebie!  We had 23 entrants to this raffle!

And the winner is....

Obfuscate!!!

Congratulations!  And thanks to all that entered!



So what do I have to be thankful for?  Well lots of things....

My job: Pays for a lot of Obey
My folks: Giving me a place to stay while I go back to school (and Obey)
My TG/PCE Collection: Which now outnumbers any other single system I own besides maybe PC games.
The pcenginefx community: Which has turned out to be a vibrant, interesting, and all around friendly lot of good folks!  (with a few quirks and lulz added in for spice)

So, what does all that have to do with a freebie?  Well, there seems to be a problem in the picture below...



So what's the problem?!??!  Lots of good games there!!  But.... what's this???  There are TWO Sapphires? What ever shall I do with that spare one?!?!

Give it away of course!!!   But there's a catch... you gotta post what you're thankful for in order to be added to the raffle!  So tell us all what you're thankful for this year and Sapphire could be coming your way as an early Christmas present!

Drawing to be held the evening of Thanksgiving (US holiday, so for those not in the USA, its November 25th!)

And just to clarify, this is not the REAL deal, but one of the ol bootlegger copies.  Great for Obeying without breaking the bank!

It is sealed, but you had better open it and play it!

Super cool! I am thankful for my beautiful wife and my two boys. My job that allows me to support them and that i am playing soccer again!    

[geralds]

Thanks full that video games are made and played

I'm thankful that there are super generous, albeit somewhat insane, people in the world.   

I already have the Sapphire, and thanks to you someone else will too.  A couple of those games look familiar... 

If you keep raising this bar, I'd like to go ahead and sign up for the PAC-N10 giveaway next year!

Wow BMW awesome giveaway! Thank you for giving us incentive to pause and reflect a bit on ourselves.

Firstly, I'm thankful to God for providing guidance that has motivated me to be more health conscious, and for blessing me with family and friends who really care about me and who have often done so much to help me. I'm thankful also for said friends and family always being there for me.

[blueraven]

I'm thankful for family, friends, an awesome forum to post on, excellent schooling and good professors.

I'm also thankful for the Blues, as in the genre of Music, and all of the musicians that have been keeping the tradition alive.

Seconded!

I am thankful for having parents that are very supportive of me and have helped pay for my college tuition. I also appreciate my bosses at work who are very understanding and are always willing to adjust my work schedule so that I can work on homework or study.

I am also thankful for becoming a member of this great forum. I have met awesome people here (and in person) who are very passionate about gaming. I have learned so much about the Turbografx and PC Engine, I can't help but get drawn in into this wonderful world. The comradery and generousity among a lot of us is strong, I do honestly get the sense of community, unlike other gaming forums on the net. I especially want to give a special shout out to Chop5, who revived my Turbo Duo replacing by replacing many faulty capacitors.

Haha!  Who's insane?

Also, Ope, you want in on this?  Even though its not for Cotton?

[Arkhan]

I'm thankful for people like you who give out free stuff to people.

and, I am thankful that I was lucky enough to have parents growing up that weren't total tools.  Otherwise I'd probably never be as awesome as I am today.  I was the only kid with NES, Genesis, SNES AND TG-16 all by 1992.  I was the shit.  I still am!


ADD ME TO THE RAFFLE.

GO GO GO.

[TheClash603]

I am thankful for all that people are willing to look past my obnoxiousness and not hate me all of the time...  takes a hell of a loving family and gf to do that!  Also thankful for all of the guys out there who have/are making games for me to enjoy, the best hobby on Earth.

Blue is THE MAN!  Win or lose, I don't "know" anyone else as generous as you.
