A Gift Of Games To Those Who Need It The Most
Posted by Stephen on
July 3, 2007
While at COMPUTEX 2007 in Taipei, I came back with a substantial booty haul of goodies. Among them were a number of games that I picked up during the FiringSquad Invitational. I thought very hard about how I would deal with the free stuff and of course a giveaway was at the top of the list. Now, I could follow in the footsteps of the the Root of All Evil and do your average, everyday, drive a few visitors to my site, contest that everyone else does, but I felt that there were other opporunities available. Mind you, there’s nothing wrong with a regular giveaway. Free stuff is still good 
If you recall, earlier this year I helped donate a Gaming System to the BC Children’s Hospital from the Tiger Direct Charity PC Race at CES 2007. The foundation was very surprised and excited to receive such a gift and it gave me a sense of overwhelming joy to make it happen. You really can’t buy a feeling like that. With such a cool gaming system, you obviously need some cool games. That’s why I’ve decided to giveaway the non-violent games, which include FIFA 07, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, and NBA Live 2007 to the BC Children’s Hospital where they can be installed on that gaming system. Hopefully they can bring some joy to our young heroes as they battle their illnesses. I hope that’s OK with you guys 
But Wait! That’s Not All!
I’d like to continue with my commitment as a Dot Com Mogul Candidate by giving you guys a chance to win my extra copy of NBA Live 2007 and trigger up to a $100 US Donation to a Charity of the Winner’s Choice so you too can experience what it feels like to give. All you have to do to enter this contest is just leave a comment. I will accept pingbacks as double entries so I encourage you to blog about it to increase your chances of winning. The goal is to get to ONE HUNDRED ENTRIES so that I can match that with the $100 US Donation.
So what do you folks think? Good contest? Think the kids will be happy with the games? Enter today and make a difference! Let’s see if we can get there by Monday, July 16th without having to extend the deadline this time. Good Luck Everyone!
Please sign me up. I really hope you reach your goal!
Stephen, I think this is a great idea and I am sure the kids will absolutely love the new games!
Good going, man. It’s always great to give back to the community, and those kids surely need some pick-me-ups while at the hospital.
Stephen,
I’ll match you dollar for dollar. Anyone else up to Match him?
That’s awesome Gary! Thanks for stepping up
Nice Stephen! Let’s help build another generation of children who are glued to the computer. I’m so in!
It’s one big evil plan. First you get them addicted to computers and then you lure them to your website to generate more revenue
Yes. It’s a big evil plan to glue them to the computers so that when Transformers II comes out, I can walk into the theatre and pick any seat I want
Aww! Stephen! That’s wonderful!
I’m with Gary, and will match too.
That’s Awesome! Thanks Erin!
With Gary and Erin stepping up, that’s $300 potentially for the Winner to Wield to a Charity of their choice. Let’s get more people to enter!
Awesome giveaway! I already have a charity in mind! Thanks!
Don’t forget, if you ping me back, that counts as an extra entry
Stephen save me a seat for transformers.
Three great games. They will be very happy.
Oops… I already went to see it. I’m still processing the whole movie in my head. It definitely played hommage to the original series in its own way and left itself wide open for a sequel.
Thanks for your entry! Good luck!
Count me in
I’m no Basketball fan so if I win the game can go to charity as well.
Sounds great. Don’t forget to ping me back with a post about the contest for an extra entry. Goodluck!
Hey, great idea, toss my name into the hat

Please throw my name into the mix, Stephen !!
1/4 of the way there. We need another 74 comments folks!
I’m in on this too…way to get others to match the donation as well. So these are games that they will install on the computer you donated earlier…nice work. Make sure they sign up for AGLOCO at the same time. Muhahahha!!!
