Nvidia - 100 Games in a 100 Days!

Just thought I'd register as I have to tell someone about this ;)

Anyway, this is really shocking for me, as I've been entering competitions for about 12 months on and off, and never won a sausage, so I eventually stopped about 3 months ago. Then, while poking around on Nvidia's website, I found a promo site for their new PhysX equipped cards and drivers.

It had a competition on it, over the next 100 days, they'll give away a game a day, so I thought, what they hey, and entered. Took pretty much a split second.

Next day I wake up to receive an email from this nice lady at Nvidia saying I won a copy of Unreal Tournament 3 :p.

It may be small compared to the MacBook winner below (*tries not be envious!*) but for me, who's never won a thing, stopped entering competitions and only entered this one on a whim, it's pretty big!

    Not at all, but I just wanted to explain what the competition was as best I could. Obviously it wasn't good enough :p
