Yeah I'm the same way. But at the same time it is a really small thing to do for a really nice giveaway.

Honestly I'd be more averse to Twitter giveaways if I *did* actually use my Twitter account...

If it's just a throwaway account, who cares if the feed is full of stuff you aren't interested in.

If you have twitter contest, you should have like rule that "You must have x ammount of tweets to enter" Since many people just do new account and try to win harder. I think like 500 is a solid limit for minimum amount of tweets

Now...if you just brought this event to Australia.....

[Ssoele]

[Geekazoid]

*cough* http://aus.paxsite.com/

Hah! Well then. Now ya talking.

However, that does seem to be US only.

This should be made international @LinusTech.

Now...if you just brought this event to Australia.....

It would be pretty cool if they Linus media group lads came to Aus.

I wonder if Intel will release the 4970X at PAX East. when do they usually release new SKU's. I have never really paid attention to the date.

At least we will get some funny outtakes and videos from the event to watch on YouTube.

1. Yes it would be good if they did.

2. We'll have to wait and see.

3. Yep. Sweet!

I wish Linus and Slick would come to Australia. Maybe sometime in the future, but some kind of Australian computer company would probably have to sponsor their trip.

Nah, they'd have plenty of dough (of the money variety ) to sponsor themselves.

Twitter is quite amazing really, i dont use it for any social stuff, but i get a ping as soon as people i follow start live streaming or they upload a video to youtube.

[DeViLzzz]

I looked at what we had to do and saw that hash tag crap and I have no clue what I am to do because of that.

Ok now I looked further into it and it seemed like a real pain in the butt and was going to do it but now I see this ...

US ONLY !!!

Both contests are US ONLY!!! Linus, Slick and anyone else associated with Linus Media Group you are a Canadian for crying out loud! Wth?

[DanDog419]

It's just the passion that went into making those games and people enjoying just makes me happy.
