Time waits for no man...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++





3:30pm San Diego time. Less than 9 hours till a brand new year. Amazing how times flies although I have to say, this year has been a great one. So much has happened that I am so grateful for and so much living - versus simply existing- was packed into the last 12 months, that for the first time in memory I don't look back and think, 'man, where did the year go?!?!' It really feels like I milked the shit out of 2007. I got no regrets, just great memories. And I'm ultra jazzed for what 2008 has in store for us all.

Ok, so I wanted to give those of you who are interested in the 'Win Twisted Metal: Head On: Extra Twisted Edition PS2' contest, some info:

I did not make the time to fill out the holiday cards. I got sick and that- plus normal holiday activities- just drained my time. So no cards went out and I doubt I will ever get around to sending them. I am very, very sorry for those who took the time to go to the yahoo account and enter addresses. But let me make it up to you...in two ways!

#1- Because I feel bad for being a slacker, let's give away 4 copies of the game, versus 3! So, there ya go: one extra chance to win a copy!

#2- Since I'm tossing the whole holiday card idea, it means more than 20 folks (the original number of cards I was going to send out) now have a chance to win now! So that's good(for those who didn't make the cut!)...

So here's the deal...at between 12:00 and 12:30am on Jan 1 PST (i.e. once us Californians get to see the ball drop in NYC Times Square) I will post a new blog entry. The folks who post to that blog entry's #10,#15,#20,and #26 comments will get a copy of the game. So it's like the old school radio call in contests ('be caller #10 to win a pair of tickets to the Duran Duran concert!')...but now there are 4 chances to win...not just one! You just gotta make sure your comment lands in one of those slots! And YES, multiple comments are ok!

So good luck! I will post the winners later tonite or first thing in the am.

NOTE: If for some reason blogger has an allergic reaction to folks refreshing and posting comments fast (and yes, the comments don't have to have anything written in them...they can be empty as long as blogger will take them)...but if for some reason, it doesn't work the way I think it is...I reserve the right to find a new way to give these damn things away :)

But let's hope for the best! I think it'll work great!

By the way, if you are from out of the country, I am more than happy to send you a copy if you win, but it is the NTSC version. Also, the games will go out- I THINK- around the week we ship. But it may be a bit sooner or a bit later, depending on when we get our copies from Sony.

Ok, so that's that.

Now I gotta go get ready. We are having a little kids New Year's party/play date that starts in less than an hour. I imagine the kids and their parents will not make it till midnight so it will prob be me and the wife ringing in the new year and then her hitting the hay while I update the blog and try to whip thru a few more Uncharted chapters (I am on chapter 18 right now) before I go to bed. My fantasy is to finish the game before the holiday officially ends tomorow nite. I'll let ya'll know!

Oh and look: if you are going out tonite, please be safe! Have a great time and Happy New Year! Looking forward to continuing to blog and chat with ya'll in 2008 (the year of Indy!!!)...

ok, gotta run...see ya'll...and good luck tonite if you are entering the contest!

David

    "So no cards went out and I doubt I will ever get around to sending them."

    Is there at least a chance you may one day send them out? I was really excited at the chance to get one. Even if they go out in February, I certainly wouldn't mind.

    Happy New Year, David Jaffe. Well, it is for me. Not for you for a few more hours.
    But, hey. Whatever. At least the British get SOMETHING before you guys =P

    I've got a confession to make...I honestly don't really want the game. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just not my kind of game. Plus, I'd need a PAL one.
    *please don't hurt me!*
    But if you've got any of those fancy cards left, if you haven't torn 'em all up and thrown 'em in the trash, I'd love it if you, just out of absolute kindness, and whatnot, would be able to send me one?
    I don't mean to sound like a greedy bastard or anything, really, but I was just thinking, since you're not using them anyway...and I do check back every day for if you've made any new blog posts. AND God of War is one of the games (and forms of media) that have inspired my writing most (yeah, I'm writing a book, btw). And if that isn't enough, you're in the heroes section of my MySpace.
    email (I'm not comfortable putting my home address in your blog):

    tdol.dragon@dsl.pipex.com

    Even if you decide not to send me anything, I hope this at least made you laugh, as I think come across as a self-righteous jackass =D

    Anyway, yeah, happy new year, Dave, and many more to come.

    Jack

  10. If you're on Chapter 18 now, you'll most likely polish it off tonight. It's a great finish--I already played through it a second time.

  11. I say you should just stick everyones name up on the wall + blindfold and start whipping darts. Make sure the room is empty first though :)
    Good luck to everyone thats still sober enough to work a computer later.

  16. Man you look very sick dude! I don't think you will be drinking tonight! I think the same about Uncharted and I love the fact that there are achievements in there! That makes it more interesting! Have Happy New year and we will see how much the media hates you when you give them great and classic games! Cheers!

    Coach Wallets are then priced for a quite great origin: every Coach Madison is made from top-rank leather with unsurpassed designs and excellent workmanship. You can test the quality with hands immediately when you touch a Coach Luggage . Note that every Coach Legacy is well-made and meant to last for a lifetime.

    ED Hardy was inspired by the man who also gave the line its name, the legendary tattoo artist, ED Hardy Shoes . Known as "the godfather of modern tattoo" in many tattoo circles, ED Hardy Shoes blend of Japanese and American styles is highly sought after around the world. Christian Audigier saw a fantastic marketing opportunity in Hardy's tattoos. He approached hardy shirt in 2004 with a clothing line idea based on his artistic style.


    Every scarpe Hogan combines art, top quality material, comfort, and the Hogan scarpe uomo design and cut that goes with every great creation.
