Cool Mr. Mooch. What's your game handle? BTW - people who have been putting up the high scores admitted that the trick is to play on a slow computer. Now I feel really lucky to have managed 72's while playing on a 3 GHz machine (the star is literally a blur).
Yeah, I should've figured the slower speed a while ago. I'll have to try that some time next week once I get my other, crappier Gateway comp back online. I'm Jew Goldberg -- also the name of the dominating player I created in ESPN Basketball. At least this game goes through July 1, which is unfortunate for any of us because it's statistically impossible to gain enough chances to win the plasma tv. Apparently weekly prizes are game systems? What do the daily first, second, and third prize winners get (if anything)? I was confuzed with that, although I get confuzed with a lot of things. Good luck!
Update since I first posted: I've won one 1st prize, two 2nd prizes, and two 3rd prizes. That should be a $230 Best Buy GC and $130 in Famous Footwear GC's. Now to see if they come through with the prizes. I have ~5% chance at the grand prize drawing. 1/20 ain't great, but I think I can get that up to about 20% by the end of the contest
Fo shizzle!! This is fo real!!! Just arrived: Thanks AGBee for posting this link! I never did get around to finding a slower computer, but hey, I got a free pair of shoes and that's awesome. I guess you'll be receiving a TON of Best Buy $$$! Good luck to those who are still playing and thanks again for the link!
Sweet! That was a pretty quick turnaround time. Did you ever receive any contact from them other than the prize win e-mail? I'll be happy if I get my prizes in the near future
Nope, just got the e-mail and it asked me to give them my correct name and address. I've always liked Famous Footwear. Well now I'm off to DC. Thanks again.
I won the random shoe drawing for today. Yay! I received a $180 Best Buy gift certificate from them yesterday. That only leaves $1320 that they owe me now.
dayum!!! BTW, they don't just pick the highest scores for the gift certificates do they? Just anyone in the top 20? How the hell do these people get 75 in like 50 seconds? I can do it but it takes me a good 70+...
Why, AGBee, why. I had a 75 and you bumped me out of the top 20!!! You're like a machine or something...
