Live In or Near the London Area?
Meet Thieves and Win Some Prizes!

Find the "American Rat" and Win Fabulous Prizes!

I will be on holiday in and around the London area from this coming Saturday, March 7th through the following Saturday, March 14th.

sunday's event will take place at 1pm

During my stay I am holding two "meet an American rat" events where the first 5 registered forum members during each event that introduce themselves will automatically win a nice little prize as well as an entry to win a brand new, Nintendo DS Lite bundle.

Up for grabs are following:
- Nintendo DS Lite bundle no. 1 (Limited Edition Black Pokemon Diamond/Pearl system w/ carrying case) and some random [new and sealed] DS game (from my collection)
- Nintendo DS Lite bundle no. 2 (Limited Edition Red system with a white Mario "M" logo and a copy of New Super Mario Bros.)
- Roughly 20 or so videogame related tchotchkes

(Note: All items are brand new and still sealed!)

Rules: Twice during the week, the 8th (Sunday) and 14th (the following Saturday) of March to be specific, I will post a thread indicating where I will be in or near the London area, and all you have to do is locate me and introduce yourself. The first 5 people will receive a tchotchke. Those 5 (from GBAtemp.net) and all other registered members of the forum that I meet within the next hour are then eligible for the DS Lite bundle for that day by means of a random drawing after the hour expires.

The odds of winning one of the two nintendo DS Lite bundles will depend on the number of people making contact for that given day. the winner of the day one event will be ineligible from winning a DS Lite bundle on day two.
A minimum of 10 people must show up for the DS Lite bundle to be offered as a prize. If the minimum number of 10 is not met at the first event, those people's raffle ticket will be pooled in with those from the second event so that at least one DS Lite bundle will be offered up regardless of the total number of people showing up to both events.

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which

    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
